received, with such withheld shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the
date of exercise equal to the Purchase Price;

                  (e) to the extent authorized by the Board, or the Committee,

promissory note made by the Optionee in favor of the Company, upon the terms and
conditions as determined by the Board or the Committee, and secured by the
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option, or

                  (f) by any combination of the above methods of payment.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                 WITHHOLDING TAX
                                 ---------------

         The Company may, in its discretion, require an Optionee to pay to the
Company at the time of exercise, an amount that the Company deems necessary to
satisfy its obligations to withhold Federal, state or local income or other
taxes (which for purposes of this Article includes an Optionees FICA
obligation), incurred by reason of such exercise. When the exercise of an Option
does not give rise to an obligation to withhold Federal income taxes on the date
of exercise, the Company may, in its discretion, require an Optionee to place
shares of Common Stock purchased under the Option in escrow for the benefit of
the Company until such time as Federal income tax withholding is required on
amounts included in the gross income of the Optionee as a result of the exercise
of an Option. At such time, the Company in its discretion may require an
Optionee to pay to the Company the amount that the Company deems necessary to
satisfy its obligation to withhold Federal, state or local taxes incurred by
reason of the exercise of the Option, in which case the shares of Common Stock
will be released from escrow upon such payment by Optionee.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               NON-TRANSFERABILITY
                               -------------------

         No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by the Optionee,
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules thereunder. Options shall
be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee, regardless
of any community property interest therein of the Optionee's spouse, or such
spouse's successors in interest. If the Optionee's spouse shall have acquired a
community property interest in such Option, the Optionee, or the Optionee's
permitted successors in interest, may exercise the Option on behalf of the
Optionee's spouse or such spouse's successors in interest.

                                    ARTICLE X

                            TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                            -------------------------

         10.1     RESIGNATION OF EMPLOYEE. Subject to the provisions of Sections
10.4 and 10.5 herein, and as otherwise may be provided in the Option agreement,
if an Optionee ceases to be employed by the

<PAGE>

Company for any reason other than the Optionee's death or Permanent Disability,
the Optionee's Incentive Stock Options shall immediately become void and of no
further force or effect; provided, however, that if such cessation of Employment
shall be due to the Optionee's voluntary resignation with the consent of the
Board, or the Committee, or to the Optionee's retirement under the provisions of
any pension or retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary then in effect,
such Incentive Stock Option may be exercised to the extent exercisable on the
date of such cessation of Employment within three (3) months after the date the
Optionee ceases to be an Employee of the Company; provided, however that in no
event shall the exercise period extend beyond the term of the Option.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at the time of such termination
of employment, the Committee may elect to treat such Incentive Stock Options as
NSO's and in such event, the Options would not expire on termination of
Employment.

         10.2     LEAVES OF ABSENCE. For the purpose contained herein, the
employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Optionee
is on military leave, approved sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence to
be approved in writing by the Board or Committee. However, no Option may be
exercised during any such leave of absence, except during the first three (3)
months thereof; provided, however that in no event shall the exercise period
extend beyond the term of the Option.

         10.3     TERMINATION BY REASON OF DEATH OR PERMANENT DISABILITY. If the
holder of an Option dies or suffers a Permanent Disability while the Optionee is
employed by the Company, the Optionee's Option shall expire one (1) year after
the date of such death or Permanent Disability; provided, however that in no
event shall the exercise period extend beyond the term of the Option. During
such period after death, such Option may, to the extent that it remains
unexercised (but exercisable by the Optionee according to such Option's term) on
the date of such death, be exercised by the person or persons to whom the
Optionee's rights under the Option shall pass by the Optionee's will or by the
laws of descent and distribution.

         10.4     Extension of Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to
the contrary, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the
discretion to extend the term of any Options granted to an Employee which would
have otherwise expired in connection with the termination of such employment for
such period as the Board or the Committee so determines; provided however, that
upon any such extension (beyond the three month period provided in Section 10.1
herein), any Options which were previously treated as Incentive Stock Options
shall, upon such extension, be treated as NSO's upon exercise thereof.

         10.5     Change of Control Extension. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, any Options granted to an Employee whose employment is
terminated following a Change of Control which have not become exercisable
pursuant to Section 6.7 shall have their expiration date extended as follows:

                  (a) If such options are Incentive Stock Options, the
expiration date shall be automatically extended to such date which is nine
months following the grant date of such option, such that the options will be
exercisable for a three month period prior to the extended expiration date; and

                  (b) If such Options are NSO's, the expiration date shall be
the original date in the Option Agreement;

provided however, the Optionee shall have the option to convert such Incentive
Stock Options into NSO's and automatically extend the expiration date to the
original date specified in the Option Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                 LIMITATION ON GRANTS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
                 -----------------------------------------------

         No one individual may be granted Incentive Stock Options under this
Plan or any other plan of the Company in any calendar year for Common Stock
having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined at the time the Option is
granted, in excess of $100,000.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                   ADJUSTMENTS
                                   -----------

         12.1     PROPORTIONATE ADJUSTMENTS. If the outstanding shares of Common
Stock are increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares or securities of the Company through reorganization,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split or other similar transaction, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment
shall be made in the maximum number and kind of shares as to which Options may
be granted under this Plan. A corresponding adjustment changing the number of
kind or shares allocated to unexercised Options or portions thereof, which shall
have been granted prior to any such change, shall likewise be made. Any such
adjustment in the outstanding Options shall be made without change in the
aggregate Purchase Price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but
with a corresponding adjustment in the Exercise Price for the Common Stock
covered by the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no
adjustment for the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of notes, preferred
stock or exercise of warrants or Common Stock issued by the Board for such
consideration as the Board deems appropriate.

         12.2     DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. Upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of
the Company with one (1) or more corporations as a result of which the Company
is not the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all the
property or more than eighty (80%) percent of the then outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company to another corporation, the Board or Committee may
provide in writing in connection with such transaction for any or all of the
following choices (separately or in combinations): (i) for the Options
theretofore granted to become immediately exercisable; (ii) for the assumption
by the successor corporation of the Options theretofore granted or the
substitution by such corporation for such Options of new Options covering the
stock of the successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iii)
for the continuance of the Plan by each successor corporation in which event the
Plan and the Options theretofore granted shall continue in the manner and under
the terms so provided; or (iv) for termination of the Plan and any Option
theretofore granted hereunder.

         12.3     BOARD DETERMINATION. Adjustments under this Article 12 shall
be made by the Board or Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments
shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan on any such
adjustment.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                        AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
                        ---------------------------------

         13.1     Amendments. The Board or the Committee may at any time suspend
or terminate the Plan. The Board or the Committee may also at any time amend or
revise the terms of the Plan, provided that no such amendment or revision shall,
unless appropriate stockholder approval of such amendment or revision is
obtained:

                  (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants
under the Plan;

                  (b) materially increase the number of securities which may be
issued under Plan; or

                  (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan.

         13.2     OPTIONEE CONSENT. No amendment, suspension or termination of
the Plan shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights
or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
                            ------------------------

         14.1     PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. No person entitled to exercise
any Option granted under the Plan shall have any of the rights or privileges of
a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of such Option until certificates representing such shares shall
have been issued and delivered. No shares shall be issued and delivered upon
exercise of any Option unless and until, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, there shall have been full compliance with any applicable registration
requirements of the Act, any applicable listing requirements of any national
securities exchange on which stock of the same class is then listed, and any
other requirements of law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over
such issuance and delivery.

         14.2     PLAN EXPENSES. Any expenses incurred in the administration of
the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

         14.3     USE OF EXERCISE PROCEEDS. Payments received from an Optionee
upon the exercise of Options shall be used for the general corporate purposes of
the Company, except that any Common Stock received in payment may be retired or
retained in the Company's treasury and reissued.

         14.4     NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Neither the Plan, nor any action taken
under the Plan shall be construed as giving any Employee the right to become a
participant, nor shall any Option under the Plan be construed as giving a
participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company.
The Company expressly reserves the right to terminate, whether by dismissal,
discharge or otherwise a participant's employment at any time, with or without
cause, except as may otherwise be provided in any written agreement between the
Company and the Employee.

         14.5     INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board, or the Committee, the
members of the Committee and the Board shall be indemnified by the Company
against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
any action, suit or proceeding to which they or any of them may be party by
reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the
Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal
counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment
in any such action suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of
bad faith; provided that upon the institution of any such action, suit or
proceeding, such indemnified party shall in writing give the Company notice
thereof and an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same
before such indemnified party undertakes to handle and defend it on such
member's behalf.

         14.6     NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTIONS. The granting of an Option
shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Option.

         14.7     GOVERNING LAW. The Plan has been adopted under the laws of the
State of Delaware. The Plan, all Options which may be granted hereunder, and all
matters related thereto, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as it then exists.

         14.8     GENDER AND NUMBER. Except as otherwise indicated by the
context, reference to the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender,
the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

         14.9     SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                     STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE
                     ---------------------------------------

         The Plan shall be submitted for approval by the holders of the
outstanding voting stock of the

<PAGE>

Company within twelve (12) months from the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board; provided, however, that if such vote was not solicited substantially in
accordance with the rules and regulations, if any, in effect under ss. 14(a) of
the Exchange Act, at the time of such vote, the Company will furnish in writing
to the holders of record of the securities entitled to vote for the Plan
substantially the same information concerning the Plan which would be required
by the rules and regulations in effect under ss. 14(a) of the Exchange Act, as
if proxies to be voted with respect to the approval or disapproval of the Plan
were then being solicited, on or prior to the date of the first annual meeting
of security holders held subsequent to the later of (i) the first registration
of an equity security under ss. 12 of the Exchange Act; or (ii) the acquisition
of an equity security for which an exemption is claimed. The Plan shall be
deemed approved by the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Company by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting shares of the
Company represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is
present. Any Options granted under the Plan prior to obtaining such stockholder
approval shall be granted under the conditions that the Options so granted (i)
shall not be exercisable prior to such approval, and (ii) shall become null and
void if such stockholder approval is not obtained.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                                 RELOAD OPTIONS
                                 --------------

         16.1     RELOAD OPTION. Whenever the Optionee holding any Option
outstanding under the Plan (including Reload Options granted under this Article
XVI) exercises the Option and makes payment of the Exercise Price by tendering
Common Stock previously held by the Optionee pursuant to Section 6.5(b), then
the Company shall grant a Reload Option for the number of shares of Common Stock
that is equal to the number of shares tendered by the Optionee on payment of the
Exercise Price of the Option being exercised.

         16.2     RELOAD OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The Reload Option Exercise Price
per share shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the
Company's Common Stock determined as of the date of receipt by the Company of
the notice by Optionee to exercise the Option.

         16.3     TERM OF RELOAD OPTION. The exercise period of the Reload
Option shall expire, and the Reload Option shall no longer be exercisable, on
the later of (i) the expiration date of the original surrendered Option, or (ii)
one year from the date of granting, unless otherwise determined by the Board or
the Committee, which shall have the discretion to extend the expiration date of
the Reload Options.

         16.4     RESTRICTION ON EXERCISE. Any Reload Option granted under this
Article XVI shall vest immediately, but shall not be exercisable until the end
of six months after the date of its issuance, except in the case of the death or
permanent disability of the Optionee, upon which event the Reload Option will
become immediately exercisable.

         16.5     OTHER TERMS OF RELOAD OPTIONS. All other terms of the Reload
Options granted hereunder shall be identical to the terms and conditions of the
original Option, the exercise of which gives rise to the grant of the Reload
Option.
