terms and conditions:

(A)      OPTION  GRANT  DATES.  Commencing  in 1999,  Options  shall be  granted
         automatically  to each Eligible  Director elected at the annual meeting
         of stockholders of the Company as of the date of such meeting.

(B)      OPTION  FORMULA.  Each  Eligible  Director  shall  receive an Option to

         further action by the Board or the Ineligible Directors.

(C)      PERIOD OF OPTIONS.  Options  shall vest and become  exercisable  on the
         first  anniversary  of grant  date of the  Option;  and  Options  shall
         terminate and cease to be exercisable  on the tenth  anniversary of the
         grant date of the Option  (subject to prior  termination as provided in
         Sections 7(g) and (h) below).

(D)      OPTION  PRICE.  The  exercise  price of each  Option  shall be the Fair

     (E) EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  Vested and  exercisable  Options may be exercised
(in full or in part) only by written notice of exercise delivered to the Company

aggregate  exercise  price for all shares of Stock being acquired upon exercise
of the Option,  or (ii) written  direction to deliver  the shares of Stock being
acquired  upon  exercise of the Option to a registered broker dealer with

Company out of such sale  proceeds a cash payment equal to the  aggregate
exercise  price for all shares of Stock being  acquired upon exercise of the
Option.  Such Option shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date both
such required items have been received by the Company.

     (F) TRANSFERABILITY. No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable
other  than by  will  or by the  laws of  descent  and  distribution;  provided,
however,  that the Ineligible  Directors may determine to grant Options that are
transferable,  without payment of consideration,  to immediate family members of
the Grantee or to trusts or partnerships for such family members,  and may amend
outstanding  Options to provide  for such  transferability.  No  interest of any
Optionee in any Option shall be subject to attachment,  execution,  garnishment,
sequestration,  the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal or equitable  process.
Except as otherwise determined by the Ineligible Directors,  during the lifetime
of the  Grantee,  Options  shall  be  exercisable  only  by the  Grantee  or the
Grantee's guardian or legal representative.

     (G)  DEATH OR  DISABILITY  OF  GRANTEE.  If a  Grantee  dies or  terminates
performance of services as a Director  because of  Disability,  any unvested and
unexercisable  Option granted to such Grantee shall  immediately and fully vest.
Such Option, together with any other vested and unexercisable Options granted to
such Grantee, may be exercised,  at any time, or from time to time, prior to the
earlier of (i) the  termination of such Option in accordance  with Section 7(c),
or (ii) one year after the date of Grantee's death or termination of services as
a Director,  at which date all  then-outstanding and unexercised Options granted
to such  Grantee  shall  terminate.  In the  case of  death,  an  Option  may be
exercised  by the  person or  persons to whom the  Optionee's  rights  under the
Option pass by will or applicable law, or if no such person has such rights,  by
the Optionee's executors or administrators; provided that such person(s) consent
in  writing  to abide by and be  subject to the terms of the Plan and the Option
and such writing is delivered to the Company.

(H)      TERMINATION OF SERVICES AS DIRECTOR.

     (i) If a  Grantee's  performance  of  services  for  the  Company  and  its
Subsidiaries  shall  terminate  for any reason other than death or Disability or
termination of services as a Director for Cause, any unvested and  unexercisable
Option granted to such Grantee shall  immediately  and fully vest.  Such Option,
together with any other vested and exercisable  Options granted to such Grantee,
may be exercised, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the earlier of (i)
the  termination  of such Option in  accordance  with Section 7(c) or (ii) three
months after the date of such  Grantee's  termination of services as a Director,
at which  date all  then-outstanding  and  unexercised  Options  granted to such
Grantee shall terminate.

                           (ii) If a  Grantee's  performance  of  services  as a
                  Director  is   terminated   for  Cause,   any   unvested   and
                  unexercisable  Option granted to such Grantee shall  terminate
                  as of the date of such  termination  of services.  All Options
                  previously  granted to such Grantee  which are, as of the date
                  of such termination of services,  vested and exercisable,  may
                  be exercised at any time,  or from time to time,  prior to the
                  earlier of (i) the  termination  of such Option in  accordance
                  with  Section  7(c) or (ii) one  month  after the date of such
                  Grantee's termination of services as a Director, at which date
                  all  then-outstanding  and unexercised Options granted to such
                  Grantee shall terminate.  For this purpose of the Plan and any
                  Option  agreement,  such Grantee's  service shall be deemed to
                  have  terminated  on the  earlier  of (A) the  date  when  the
                  Grantee's service in fact terminated or (B) the date when such
                  Grantee  received  written  notice  that  his  service  is  to
                  terminate for Cause.

                  (I) NO RIGHTS  AS  SHAREHOLDER.  No  Optionee  shall  have any
         rights as a shareholder  with respect to any Stock subject to an Option
         prior to the date of issuance  to such  Optionee  of a  certificate  or
         certificates for such shares.

exercise  of  Options  under the Plan,  and the  obligation  of the  Company  to
transfer  shares under such Options shall be subject to all  applicable  federal
and state laws, rules and regulations,  including those related to disclosure of
financial  and other  information  to  Optionees,  and to any  approvals  by any
government  or  regulatory  agency as may be required.  The Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any  certificates  for shares of Stock prior to (a)
the listing of such shares on any stock  exchange on which the Stock may then be
listed,  where such listing is required  under the rules or  regulations of such
exchange,  and (b) the compliance with applicable  federal and state  securities
laws and regulations relating to the issuance and delivery of such certificates;

such shares and to comply with such laws and regulations.

         9. AMENDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE. The Board may from time to time amend,
suspend or discontinue the Plan; provided,  however, that, the Plan shall not be
amended  without  the consent of the  shareholders  of the Company to the extent
such  consent is required  under Rule 16b-3,  Section  162(m) of the Code or any
stock exchange or market  quotation  system on which the Stock is then listed or
quoted.  Except where  approval of the Board is required by applicable  law, the

by the Ineligible Directors.
