                           GATEWAY DISTRIBUTORS, LTD.
                 EMPLOYEE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2003

     1.     General  Provisions.
            -------------------

     1.1     Purpose.  This  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the "Plan") is intended to
             -------
allow designated officers, employees  and certain non-employees (all of whom are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Employees," or individually as
the  "Employee") of Gateway Distributors, Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("Gateway")
and  its  Subsidiaries  (as that term is defined below) which they may have from
time  to  time  (Gateway  and  such  Subsidiaries  are referred to herein as the
"Company")  to receive certain options (the "Stock Options") to purchase Gateway
common  stock,  par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and to receive
grants  of  the Common Stock subject to certain restrictions (the "Awards").  As
used  in this Plan, the term "Subsidiary" shall mean each corporation which is a
"subsidiary  corporation" of Gateway within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986, as amended (the "Code").  The purpose of this
Plan  is  to provide the Employees with equity-based compensation incentives who
make  significant  and  extraordinary  contributions to the long-term growth and
performance  of  the  Company,  and  to  attract  and  retain  the  Employees.

     1.2     Administration.
             --------------

     1.2.1     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee")  of,  or  appointed  by,  the  Board  of  Directors of Gateway (the
"Board").  The  Committee  shall select one of its members as Chairman and shall
act  by  vote  of  a  majority  of a quorum, or by unanimous written consent.  A
majority  of  its  members  shall  constitute  a quorum.  The Committee shall be
governed  by  the provisions of Gateway's Bylaws and of Nevada law applicable to
the  Board,  except  as  otherwise  provided  herein or determined by the Board.

     1.2.2     The  Committee  shall  have  full  and complete authority, in its
discretion,  but  subject  to the express provisions of this Plan (a) to approve
the Employees nominated by the management of the Company to be granted Awards or
Stock  Options;  (b)  to  determine  the number of Awards or Stock Options to be
granted  to  an  Employee; (c) to determine the time or times at which Awards or
Stock Options shall be granted; to establish the terms and conditions upon which
Awards  or  Stock  Options  may  be  exercised;  (d)  to  remove  or  adjust any
restrictions and conditions upon Awards or Stock Options; (e) to specify, at the
time  of  grant,  provisions  relating to exercisability of Stock Options and to
accelerate  or otherwise modify the exercisability of any Stock Options; and (f)
to  adopt such rules and regulations and to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.  All interpretations
and  constructions  of  this  Plan  by  the  Committee,  and  all of its actions
hereunder,  shall  be  binding  and  conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

     1.2.3     The  Company  hereby  agrees  to indemnify and hold harmless each
Committee  member  and each Employee, and the estate and heirs of such Committee
member  or  Employee,  against  all  claims,  liabilities,  expenses, penalties,
damages  or  other  pecuniary losses, including legal fees, which such Committee
member  or  Employee,  his  estate  or  heirs  may  suffer  as  a  result of his
responsibilities,  obligations  or  duties  in connection with this Plan, to the
extent  that  insurance,  if  any, does not cover the payment of such items.  No
member  of  the  Committee  or  the  Board  shall  be  liable  for any action or
determination made in good faith with respect to this Plan or any Award or Stock
Option  granted  pursuant  to  this  Plan.

     1.3     Eligibility  and  Participation.  The Employees eligible under this
             -------------------------------
Plan shall be approved by the Committee from those Employees who, in the opinion
of  the  management  of  the Company, are in positions which enable them to make
significant  contributions  to  the  long-term  performance  and  growth  of the
Company.  In  selecting  the  Employees  to  whom  Award or Stock Options may be
granted,  consideration  shall  be given to factors such as employment position,
duties  and  responsibilities, ability, productivity, length of service, morale,
interest  in  the  Company  and  recommendations  of  supervisors.

     1.4     Shares  Subject  to this Plan.  The maximum number of shares of the
             -----------------------------
Common  Stock  that  may  be issued pursuant to this Plan shall be 1,000,000,000
subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4.1.  If shares of
the Common Stock awarded or issued under this Plan are reacquired by the Company

                                        1
<PAGE>
due  to a forfeiture or for any other reason, such shares shall be cancelled and
thereafter  shall  again  be  available  for  purposes of this Plan.  If a Stock
Option  expires,  terminates  or is cancelled for any reason without having been
exercised in full, the shares of the Common Stock not purchased thereunder shall
again  be  available  for  purposes  of  this  Plan.

     2.     Provisions  Relating  to  Stock  Options.
            ----------------------------------------

     2.1     Grants  of Stock Options.  The Committee may grant Stock Options in
             ------------------------
such amounts, at such times, and to the Employees nominated by the management of
the  Company as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine.   Stock Options
granted  under  this  Plan shall constitute "incentive stock options" within the
meaning  of  Section  422  of the Code, if so designated by the Committee on the
date  of  grant.  The  Committee  shall  also have the discretion to grant Stock
Options  which  do  not  constitute  incentive stock options, and any such Stock
Options shall be designated  non-statutory stock options by the Committee on the
date  of  grant.  The  aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an
incentive  stock  option  is  granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which
incentive  stock  options  are  exercisable  for  the first time by any Employee
during  any  one calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any parent or
subsidiary  of  the  Company)  may not exceed the maximum amount permitted under
Section  422 of the Code (currently, $100,000.00)).  Non-statutory stock options
shall  not  be  subject  to  the limitations relating to incentive stock options
contained  in the preceding sentence.  Each Stock Option shall be evidenced by a
written  agreement (the "Option Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee,
which shall be executed on behalf of the Company and by the Employee to whom the
Stock  Option is granted, and which shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of  this  Plan.  In  the  discretion of the Committee, Stock Options may include
provisions  (which  need  not  be  uniform),  authorized by the Committee in its
discretion,  that  accelerate  an  Employee's  rights  to exercise Stock Options
following  a  "Change in Control," upon termination of the Employee's employment
by  the  Company  without  "Cause" or by the Employee for "Good Reason," as such
terms  are  defined in Paragraph 3.1 hereof.  The holder of a Stock Option shall
not  be  entitled  to  the privileges of stock ownership as to any shares of the
Common  Stock  not  actually  issued  to  such  holder.

     2.2     Purchase  Price.  The  purchase  price  (the  "Exercise  Price") of
             ---------------
shares  of  the  Common Stock subject to each Stock Option (the "Option Shares")
shall  not  be less than 85 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date of exercise.  For an Employee holding greater than 10 percent of the
total  voting power of all stock of the Company, either Common or Preferred, the
Exercise Price of an incentive stock option shall be at least 110 percent of the
Fair  Market  Value  of the Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option.
As  used  herein,  "Fair  Market  Value"  means the mean between the highest and
lowest  reported sales prices of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange
Composite  Tape  or,  if  not  listed  on  such  exchange, on any other national
securities  exchange  on which the Common Stock is listed or on The Nasdaq Stock
Market,  or,  if  not so listed on any other national securities exchange or The
Nasdaq  Stock  Market,  then  the  average  of the bid price of the Common Stock
during  the  last  five  trading  days  on  the  OTC  Bulletin Board immediately
preceding  the last trading day prior to the date with respect to which the Fair
Market  Value  is  to  be  determined.  If the Common Stock is not then publicly
traded,  then  the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be the book value
of  the  Company  per  share  as  determined  on  the  last  day of March, June,
September, or December in any year closest to the date when the determination is
to  be  made.  For  the  purpose of determining book value hereunder, book value
shall  be  determined  by adding as of the applicable date called for herein the
capital,  surplus,  and  undivided  profits  of  the  Company,  and after having
deducted  any  reserves theretofore established; the sum of these items shall be
divided by the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of said date,
and  the  quotient thus obtained shall represent the book value of each share of
the  Common  Stock  of  the  Company.

     2.3     Option Period.  The Stock Option period (the "Term") shall commence
             -------------
on  the  date of grant of the Stock Option and shall be 10 years or such shorter
period  as is determined by the Committee.  Each Stock Option shall provide that
it  is  exercisable over its term in such periodic installments as the Committee
in  its  sole  discretion  may  determine.  Such provisions need not be uniform.
Section  16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")  exempts persons normally subject to the reporting requirements of Section
16(a)  of  the  Exchange  Act (the "Section 16 Reporting Persons") pursuant to a
qualified  employee stock option plan from the normal requirement of not selling
until at least six months and one day from the date the Stock Option is granted.

     2.4     Exercise  of  Options.
             ---------------------

     2.4.1     Each  Stock  Option may be exercised in whole or in part (but not
as  to  fractional  shares) by delivering it for surrender or endorsement to the
Company,  attention  of  the Corporate Secretary, at the principal office of the
Company,  together with payment of the Exercise Price and an executed Notice and
Agreement of Exercise in the form prescribed by Paragraph 2.4.2.  Payment may be
made  (a)  in  cash,  (b)  by  cashier's or certified check, (c) by surrender of
previously owned shares of the Common Stock valued pursuant to Paragraph 2.2 (if
the Committee authorizes payment in stock in its discretion), (d) by withholding
from  the  Option  Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of
the Stock Option that number of Option Shares equal to the exercise price of the
Stock  Option,  if  such  withholding  is  authorized  by  the  Committee in its
discretion,  or  (e)  in the discretion of the Committee, by the delivery to the
Company  of the optionee's promissory note secured by the Option Shares, bearing
interest  at  a  rate  sufficient  to  prevent  the imputation of interest under
Sections  483 or 1274 of the Code, and having such other terms and conditions as
may  be  satisfactory  to  the  Committee.

     2.4.2     Exercise  of  each Stock Option is conditioned upon the agreement
of  the  Employee  to  the  terms  and conditions of this Plan and of such Stock
Option  as  evidenced  by  the Employee's execution and delivery of a Notice and
Agreement  of  Exercise  in  a  form  to  be  determined by the Committee in its
discretion.  Such Notice and Agreement of Exercise shall set forth the agreement
of  the Employee that (a) no Option Shares will be sold or otherwise distributed
in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or
any  other  applicable  federal  or state securities laws, (b) each Option Share
certificate  may be imprinted with legends reflecting any applicable federal and
state  securities  law  restrictions  and conditions, (c) the Company may comply
with  said securities law restrictions and issue "stop transfer" instructions to
its  Transfer  Agent  and  Registrar without liability, (d) if the Employee is a
Section  16 Reporting Person, the Employee will furnish to the Company a copy of
each  Form  4  or Form 5 filed by said Employee and will timely file all reports
required  under  federal  securities  laws, and (e) the Employee will report all
sales  of  Option  Shares  to the Company in writing on a form prescribed by the
Company.

     2.4.3     No  Stock  Option  shall  be  exercisable  unless  and  until any
applicable  registration  or  qualification  requirements  of  federal and state
securities  laws,  and  all  other  legal requirements, have been fully complied
with.  The  Company will use reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of
a  Registration  Statement  under  the  Securities Act for the issuance of Stock
Options  and  shares  acquired  thereunder,  but there may be times when no such
Registration  Statement  will  be  currently  effective.  The  exercise of Stock
Options  may  be  temporarily  suspended without liability to the Company during
times  when  no  such  Registration  Statement is currently effective, or during
times  when,  in  the  reasonable  opinion  of the Committee, such suspension is
necessary  to  preclude  violation  of  any  requirements  of  applicable law or
regulatory  bodies  having  jurisdiction  over the Company.  If any Stock Option
would expire for any reason except the end of its term during such a suspension,
then  if  exercise  of such Stock Option is duly tendered before its expiration,
such  Stock  Option  shall  be  exercisable  and exercised (unless the attempted
exercise  is  withdrawn)  as  of the first day after the end of such suspension.
The Company shall have no obligation to file any Registration Statement covering
resales  of  Option  Shares.

     2.5     Continuous  Employment.  Except as provided in Paragraph 2.7 below,
             ----------------------
an Employee may not exercise a Stock Option unless from the date of grant to the
date of exercise the Employee remains continuously in the employ of the Company.
For  purposes  of  this Paragraph 2.5, the period of continuous employment of an
Employee with the Company shall be deemed to include (without extending the term
of the Stock Option) any period during which the Employee is on leave of absence
with  the  consent of the Company, provided that such leave of absence shall not
exceed  three  months and that the Employee returns to the employ of the Company
at  the expiration of such leave of absence.  If the Employee fails to return to
the  employ  of  the  Company  at  the  expiration of such leave of absence, the
Employee's employment with the Company shall be deemed terminated as of the date
such  leave of absence commenced.  The continuous employment of an Employee with
the Company shall also be deemed to include any period during which the Employee
is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, provided that the Employee
returns  to  the  employ of the Company within 90 days (or such longer period as
may be prescribed by law) from the date the Employee first becomes entitled to a
discharge  from  military service.  If an Employee does not return to the employ
of  the  Company  within  90 days (or such longer period as may be prescribed by
law)  from  the  date  the  Employee  first becomes entitled to a discharge from
military  service, the Employee's employment with the Company shall be deemed to
have  terminated  as  of  the  date  the  Employee's  military  service  ended.

     2.6     Restrictions  on  Transfer.  Each  Stock  Option granted under this
             --------------------------
Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
No  interest  of  any  Employee  under this Plan shall be subject to attachment,
execution, garnishment, sequestration, the laws of bankruptcy or any other legal
or  equitable  process.  Each  Stock  Option  granted  under  this Plan shall be
exercisable  during  an  Employee's  lifetime  only  by  the  Employee or by the
Employee's  legal  representative.

     2.7     Termination  of  Employment.
             ---------------------------

     2.7.1     Upon  an  Employee's  Retirement,  Disability  (both  terms being
defined  below)  or  death,  (a)  all Stock Options to the extent then presently
exercisable  shall remain in full force and effect and may be exercised pursuant
to  the  provisions  thereof,  including expiration at the end of the fixed term
thereof,  and  (b) unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all Stock Options
to  the extent not then presently exercisable by the Employee shall terminate as
of  the  date  of  such  termination  of employment and shall not be exercisable
thereafter.

     2.7.2     Upon  the  termination  of the employment of an Employee with the
Company  for  any  reason  other  than  the reasons set forth in Paragraph 2.7.1
hereof,  (a)  all  Stock Options to the extent then presently exercisable by the
Employee shall remain exercisable only for a period of 90 days after the date of
such  termination of employment (except that the 90 day period shall be extended
to  12  months  if the Employee shall die during such 90 day period), and may be
exercised pursuant to the provisions thereof, including expiration at the end of
the  fixed term thereof, and (b) unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all
Stock Options to the extent not then presently exercisable by the Employee shall
terminate  as  of  the  date  of such termination of employment and shall not be
exercisable  thereafter.

     2.7.3     For  purposes  of  this  Plan:

          (a)     "Retirement"  shall  mean  an  Employee's  retirement from the
employ of the Company on or after the date on which the Employee attains the age
of  65  years;  and

          (b)     "Disability" shall mean total and permanent  incapacity of  an
Employee, due to physical impairment or legally established mental incompetence,
to perform the usual duties of the Employee's employment with the Company, which
disability  shall  be determined (i) on medical evidence by a licensed physician
designated  by  the  Committee, or (ii) on evidence that the Employee has become
entitled  to  receive  primary  benefits as a disabled employee under the Social
Security  Act  in  effect  on  the  date  of  such  disability.

     3.     Provisions  Relating  to  Awards.
            --------------------------------

     3.1     Grant  of  Awards.  Subject  to  the  provisions  of this Plan, the
             -----------------
Committee shall have full and complete authority, in its discretion, but subject
to  the  express  provisions  of this Plan, to (1) grant Awards pursuant to this
Plan,  (2)  determine  the  number of shares of the Common Stock subject to each
Award  (the  "Award Shares"), (3) determine the terms and conditions (which need
not be identical) of each Award, including the consideration (if any) to be paid
by  the  Employee  for  such  the  Common  Stock,  which may, in the Committee's
discretion,  consist  of  the delivery of the Employee's promissory note meeting
the  requirements  of  Paragraph  2.4.1,  (4)  establish  and modify performance
criteria  for  Awards,  and  (5)  make  all  of  the determinations necessary or
advisable  with  respect  to Awards under this Plan.  Each Award under this Plan
shall  consist of a grant of shares of the Common Stock subject to a restriction
period  (after  which  the  restrictions  shall  lapse), which shall be a period
commencing  on  the  date  the  Award  is granted and ending on such date as the
Committee shall determine (the "Restriction Period").  The Committee may provide
for  the lapse of restrictions in installments, for acceleration of the lapse of
restrictions upon the satisfaction of such performance or other criteria or upon
the  occurrence  of  such  events  as the Committee shall determine, and for the
early  expiration of the Restriction Period upon an Employee's death, Disability
or  Retirement as defined in Paragraph 2.7.3, or, following a Change of Control,
upon  termination  of an Employee's employment by the Company without "Cause" or
by  the  Employee  for  "Good  Reason,"  as those terms are defined herein.  For
purposes  of  this  Plan:

     "Change  of  Control"  shall be deemed to occur (a) on the date the Company
first  has  actual  knowledge  that any person (as such term is used in Sections

                                        4
<PAGE>
13(d)  and  14(d)(2)  of  the  Exchange Act) has become the beneficial owner (as
defined  in  Rule  13(d)-3  under  the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 40 percent or more of the combined voting
power  of  the  Company's  then  outstanding  securities, or (b) on the date the
stockholders of the Company approve (i) a merger of the Company with or into any
other  corporation  in  which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in
which  the  Company  survives  as  a  subsidiary  of another corporation, (ii) a
consolidation  of  the  Company with any other corporation, or (iii) the sale or
disposition  of  all  or  substantially all of the Company's assets or a plan of
complete  liquidation.

     "Cause,"  when  used  with reference to termination of the employment of an
Employee by the Company for "Cause," shall mean:

               (a)     The  Employee's continuing willful and material breach of
his duties to the Company after he receives a demand from the Chief Executive of
the  Company  specifying  the  manner  in  which he has willfully and materially
breached  such  duties, other than any such failure resulting from Disability of
the Employee or his resignation for "Good Reason," as defined herein; or

               (b)     The  conviction  of  the  Employee  of  a  felony;  or

               (c)     The  Employee's  commission of fraud in the course of his
employment  with  the  Company,  such  as  embezzlement  or  other  material and
intentional  violation  of  law  against  the  Company;  or

               (d)     The  Employee's gross misconduct causing material harm to
the  Company.

     "Good  Reason"  shall  mean  any  one  or  more of the following, occurring
following  or in connection with a Change of Control and within 90 days prior to
the  Employee's resignation, unless the Employee shall have consented thereto in
writing

               (a)     The  assignment  to  the  Employee of duties inconsistent
with his executive status prior to the Change of Control or a substantive change
in  the  officer  or officers to whom he reports from the officer or officers to
whom  he  reported  immediately  prior  to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

               (b)     The  elimination  or  reassignment  of  a majority of the
duties and responsibilities that were assigned to the Employee immediately prior
to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

               (c)     A  reduction by the Company in the Employee's annual base
salary  as  in  effect  immediately  prior  to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

               (d)     The  Company  requiring the Employee to be based anywhere
outside  a  35-mile radius from his place of employment immediately prior to the
Change  of  Control,  except for required travel on the Company's business to an
extent  substantially consistent with the Employee's business travel obligations
immediately  prior  to  the  Change  of  Control;  or

               (e)     The  failure  of  the  Company  to  grant  the Employee a
performance  bonus  reasonably  equivalent  to the same percentage of salary the
Employee  normally  received  prior  to  the Change of Control, given comparable
performance  by  the  Company  and  the  Employee;  or

               (f)     The  failure  of  the  Company  to  obtain a satisfactory
Assumption  Agreement  (as  defined  in  Paragraph  4.12  of  this  Plan) from a
successor,  or  the  failure  of  such  successor  to  perform  such  Assumption
Agreement.

     3.2     Incentive  Agreements.  Each Award granted under this Plan shall be
             ---------------------
evidenced  by  a written agreement (an "Incentive Agreement") in a form approved
by  the Committee and executed by the Company and the Employee to whom the Award
is  granted.  Each  Incentive  Agreement  shall  be  subject  to  the  terms and
conditions of this Plan and other such terms and conditions as the Committee may
specify.

                                        5
<PAGE>
     3.3     Waiver  of  Restrictions.  The  Committee  may  modify or amend any
             ------------------------
Award  under this Plan or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to the
Award;  provided,  however,  that  the  Committee  may  not  undertake  any such
modifications,  amendments or waivers if the effect thereof materially increases
the  benefits  to  any Employee, or adversely affects the rights of any Employee
without  his  consent.

     3.4     Terms and Conditions of Awards.  Upon receipt of an Award of shares
             ------------------------------
of  the  Common  Stock  under  this Plan, even during the Restriction Period, an
Employee  shall  be  the  holder  of record of the shares and shall have all the
rights  of  a  stockholder with respect to such shares, subject to the terms and
conditions  of  this  Plan  and  the  Award.

     3.4.1     Except  as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 3.4, no shares of
the  Common  Stock  received  pursuant  to  this  Plan shall be sold, exchanged,
transferred,  pledged,  hypothecated  or  otherwise  disposed  of  during  the
Restriction Period applicable to such shares.  Any purported disposition of such
the  Common  Stock  in violation of this Paragraph 3.4.2 shall be null and void.

     3.4.2     If  an Employee's employment with the Company terminates prior to
the expiration of the Restriction Period for an Award, subject to any provisions
of  the Award with respect to the Employee's death, Disability or Retirement, or
Change  of Control, all shares of the Common Stock subject to the Award shall be
immediately  forfeited  by  the  Employee and reacquired by the Company, and the
Employee  shall  have  no  further  rights  with  respect  to the Award.  In the
discretion  of  the Committee, an Incentive Agreement may provide that, upon the
forfeiture  by  an  Employee  of  Award  Shares,  the Company shall repay to the
Employee the consideration (if any) which the Employee paid for the Award Shares
on  the  grant  of  the Award.  In the discretion of the Committee, an Incentive
Agreement  may also provide that such repayment shall include an interest factor
on  such  consideration  from  the date of the grant of the Award to the date of
such  repayment.

     3.4.3     The  Committee  may require under such terms and conditions as it
deems  appropriate  or  desirable that (a) the certificates for the Common Stock
delivered  under  this Plan are to be held in custody by the Company or a person
or  institution  designated by the Company until the Restriction Period expires,
(b)  such  certificates shall bear a legend referring to the restrictions on the
Common Stock pursuant to this Plan, and (c) the Employee shall have delivered to
the  Company  a  stock  power  endorsed  in  blank relating to the Common Stock.

total of five percent for which the record dates occur in any one fiscal year, a

been  the holder of the number of shares of the Common Stock for which the Stock
Option  is  being exercised upon the date of such change or increase or decrease
in  the  number  of  issued  shares  of  the  Company, and (b) upon the lapse of
restrictions  of  the  Award  Shares,  the Employee shall receive the number and

corporation,  or  upon a sale of all or substantially all of the property of the
Company  to another corporation, or any dividend or distribution to stockholders
of  more  than  10 percent of the Company's assets, adequate adjustment or other

been issuable or payable in respect of or in exchange for such Option Shares and
Award  Shares  then  remaining,  as  if  the Employee had been the owner of such
shares  as  of  the  applicable  date.  Any  securities  so substituted shall be
subject  to  similar  successive  adjustments.

     4.2     Withholding Taxes.  The Company shall have the right at the time of
             -----------------
exercise  of  any  Stock  Option,  the  grant  of  an  Award,  or  the  lapse of
restrictions on Award Shares, to make adequate provision for any federal, state,
local  or  foreign  taxes  which it believes are or may be required by law to be
withheld  with  respect  to  such  exercise (the "Tax Liability"), to ensure the
payment  of  any such Tax Liability.  The Company may provide for the payment of
any  Tax Liability by any of the following means or a combination of such means,
as  determined  by  the  Committee  in  its  sole and absolute discretion in the
particular  case  (1)  by requiring the Employee to tender a cash payment to the

the  Option  Shares which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the Stock
Option,  or  from  the  Award  Shares  on  their  grant  or  date  of  lapse  of
restrictions,  that  number of Option Shares or Award Shares having an aggregate
Fair  Market  Value (determined in the manner prescribed by Paragraph 2.2) as of
the  date  the  withholding tax obligation arises in an amount which is equal to
the  Employee's  Tax  Liability or (4) by any other method deemed appropriate by
the  Committee.  Satisfaction  of  the  Tax  Liability of a Section 16 Reporting
Person  may  be made by the method of payment specified in clause (3) above only
if  the  following  two  conditions  are  satisfied:

               (a)     The  withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares and the
exercise  of  the  related  Stock  Option  occur at least six months and one day
following  the  date  of  grant  of  such  Stock  Option  or  Award;  and

               (b)     The  withholding of Option Shares or Award Shares is made
either (i) pursuant to an irrevocable election (the "Withholding Election") made
by  the  Employee  at  least six months in advance of the withholding of Options
Shares  or  Award  Shares,  or  (ii)  on  a  day within a 10-day "window period"
beginning  on  the  third  business  day  following  the  date of release of the
Company's  quarterly  or  annual  summary  statement  of  sales  and  earnings.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Withholding Election may
be  disapproved  by  the  Committee  at  any  time.

     4.3     Relationship  to  Other  Employee Benefit Plans.  Stock Options and
             -----------------------------------------------

purchase  or any other employee benefit plan now maintained or hereafter adopted
by  the  Company.

     4.4     Amendments and Termination.  The Board of Directors may at any time

suspend,  amend  or  terminate  this  Plan.  No amendment, except as provided in
Paragraph  2.8,  or  modification of this Plan may be adopted, except subject to
stockholder  approval, which would (1) materially increase the benefits accruing
to  the  Employees  under  this  Plan,  (2)  materially  increase  the number of
securities  which may be issued under this Plan (except for adjustments pursuant
to  Paragraph  4.1  hereof),  or  (3)  materially  modify the requirements as to
eligibility  for  participation  in  this  Plan.

     4.5     Successors  in  Interest.  The  provisions  of  this  Plan  and the
             ------------------------
actions of the Committee shall be binding upon all heirs, successors and assigns
of  the  Company  and  of  the  Employees.

     4.6     Other  Documents.  All documents prepared, executed or delivered in
             ----------------
connection  with this Plan (including, without limitation, Option Agreements and
Incentive  Agreements)  shall  be,  in  substance  and  form, as established and
modified  by  the Committee; provided, however, that all such documents shall be
subject in every respect to the provisions of this Plan, and in the event of any
conflict between the terms of any such document and this Plan, the provisions of
this  Plan  shall  prevail.

     4.7     No  Obligation  to  Continue  Employment.  This Plan and the grants
             ----------------------------------------
which  might be made hereunder shall not impose any obligation on the Company to
continue  to  employ  any  Employee.  Moreover, no provision of this Plan or any
document executed or delivered pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed modified in
any  way  by any employment contract between an Employee (or other employee) and
the  Company.

wrongfully  uses  or  discloses  any  trade  secret,  confidential data or other
information  proprietary to the Company, or intentionally takes any other action
materially  inimical  to the best interests of the Company, as determined by the
Committee,  in  its sole and absolute discretion, the Employee shall forfeit all
rights  and  benefits  under  this  Plan.

unless  and  until  the Directors of the Company have approved this Plan and all
other  legal  requirements  have  been  met.

     4.12     Assumption  Agreements.  The  Company will require each successor,
              ----------------------
(direct  or  indirect, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise),
to  all  or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, prior to
the  consummation  of  each such transaction, to assume and agree to perform the
terms  and  provisions  remaining  to  be  performed  by  the Company under each
Incentive  Agreement  and  Stock  Option  and  to  preserve  the benefits to the
Employees  thereunder.  Such  assumption  and  agreement shall be set forth in a
written  agreement  in  form  and  substance  satisfactory  to the Committee (an
"Assumption  Agreement"),  and  shall  include  such adjustments, if any, in the
application  of the provisions of the Incentive Agreements and Stock Options and
such  additional provisions, if any, as the Committee shall require and approve,
in  order  to  preserve  such  benefits  to the Employees.  Without limiting the
generality  of  the foregoing, the Committee may require an Assumption Agreement
to  include  satisfactory  undertakings  by  a  successor:

               (a)     To  provide  liquidity to the Employees at the end of the
Restriction  Period  applicable  to  the Common Stock awarded to them under this
Plan,  or  on  the  exercise  of  Stock  Options;

               (b)     If  the  succession  occurs  before the expiration of any
period  specified  in  the  Incentive Agreements for satisfaction of performance
criteria  applicable  to  the  Common  Stock awarded thereunder, to refrain from
interfering  with  the Company's ability to satisfy such performance criteria or
to  agree  to  modify  such  performance criteria and/or waive any criteria that
cannot  be  satisfied  as  a  result  of  the  succession;

               (c)     To  require  any  future  successor  to  enter  into  an
Assumption  Agreement;  and

               (d)     To  take or refrain from taking such other actions as the
Committee  may  require  and  approve,  in  its  discretion.

     The Committee referred to in this Paragraph 4.12 is the Committee appointed
by  a  Board  of  Directors  in  office  prior  to  the  succession  then  under
consideration.

     4.13     Compliance  with  Rule  16b-3.  Transactions  under  this Plan are
              -----------------------------
intended  to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3.  To the extent
that  any  provision of this Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply,
it  shall  be  deemed  null  and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable  by  the  Committee.

     7.     Deferred  Stock  Accounts.  The  Company  shall  maintain a Deferred

Stock  Account shall be credited as of the payment date for any dividend paid or
other  distribution  made  with  respect  to  the Common Stock, with a number of

distribution.

     8.     Delivery  of  Shares.
            --------------------

          (a)     The  shares  of  the  Common Stock in a Participant's Deferred
Stock  Account  with respect to any Stock Retainer for which a Deferral Election
has  been  made (together with dividends attributable to such shares credited to
such  Deferred  Stock  Account)  shall  be  delivered  in  accordance  with this
Paragraph  8  as soon as practicable after the applicable Delivery Date.  Except
with  respect to a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) hereof, or other
agreement  between  the  parties,  such  shares  shall be delivered at one time;
provided that, if the number of shares so delivered includes a fractional share,
such  number  shall  be  rounded  to  the nearest whole number of shares. If the
Participant has in effect a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c) hereof,
then  such shares shall be delivered in five equal annual installments (together
with  dividends  attributable  to  such  shares  credited to such Deferred Stock
Account),  with  the  first  such  installment  being  delivered  on  the  first
anniversary  of  the  Delivery Date; provided that, if in order to equalize such
installments,  fractional  shares  would have to be delivered, such installments
shall  be  adjusted  by rounding to the nearest whole share.  If any such shares
are  to  be  delivered  after  the  Participant  has  died  or  become  legally
incompetent,  they  shall  be  delivered  to  the  Participant's estate or legal
guardian,  as  the case may be, in accordance with the foregoing; provided that,
if  the  Participant  dies  with  a Deferral Election pursuant to Paragraph 6(c)
hereof  in  effect, the Committee shall deliver all remaining undelivered shares
to  the  Participant's  estate immediately.  References to a Participant in this
Plan  shall  be  deemed  to refer to the Participant's estate or legal guardian,
where  appropriate.

     (b)     The  Company  may,  but  shall not be required to, create a grantor
trust  or  utilize an existing grantor trust (in either case, "Trust") to assist
it  in  accumulating  the  shares  of  the  Common  Stock  needed to fulfill its
obligations  under  this  Paragraph  8.  However,  Participants  shall  have  no
beneficial  or  other  interest  in  the Trust and the assets thereof, and their
rights  under this Plan shall be as general creditors of the Company, unaffected
by  the  existence or nonexistence of the Trust, except that deliveries of Stock
Retainers  to  Participants  from  the  Trust  shall,  to the extent thereof, be
treated  as  satisfying  the  Company's  obligations  under  this  Paragraph  8.

     9.     Share  Certificates;  Voting and Other Rights.  The certificates for
            ---------------------------------------------
shares  delivered to a Participant pursuant to Paragraph 8 above shall be issued
in the name of the Participant, and from and after the date of such issuance the
Participant shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Common Stock for all such shares issued in his name, including the right to vote
the  shares,  and  the  Participant  shall  receive  all  dividends  and  other
distributions  paid  or  made  with  respect  thereto.

     10.     General  Restrictions.
             ---------------------

          (a)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements
made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate or certificates for shares of the Common Stock under this Plan prior
to  fulfillment  of  all  of  the  following  conditions:

               (i)     Listing  or  approval for listing upon official notice of
issuance  of  such  shares  on  the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other
securities  exchange  as  may  at  the  time  be  a market for the Common Stock;

               (ii)     Any  registration  or other qualification of such shares
under  any  state  or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of
any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, upon the
advice  of  counsel,  deem  necessary  or  advisable;  and

               (iii)     Obtaining  any  other consent, approval, or permit from
any  state  or  federal  governmental  agency  which  the Committee shall, after
receiving  the  advice  of  counsel,  determine  to  be  necessary or advisable.

          (b)     Nothing  contained in this Plan shall prevent the Company from
adopting  other  or  additional  compensation arrangements for the Participants.

purchase  the  Common  Stock  at  a  price  below  its  Fair  Market  Value,
reclassification,  or  recapitalization, or a corporate transaction, such as any
merger,  consolidation,  separation,  including  a  spin-off, stock dividend, or
other  extraordinary  distribution  of  stock  or  property  of the Company, any
reorganization  (whether  or not such reorganization comes within the definition
of  such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation

(i)  the  Deferred  Stock Accounts shall be credited with the amount and kind of
shares  or  other  property  which  would  have been received by a holder of the
number  of  shares  of  the Common Stock held in such Deferred Stock Account had
such  shares of the Common Stock been outstanding as of the effectiveness of any
such  Transaction,  (ii) the number and kind of shares or other property subject
to  this  Plan  shall  likewise  be  appropriately  adjusted  to  reflect  the
