amended (the "Code").

     The Board shall have all the powers  vested in it by the terms of the Plan,
such powers to include  exclusive  authority  (within the limitations  described
herein) to select the Eligible Participants to be granted awards under the Plan,
to  determine  the type,  size and  terms of awards to be made to each  Eligible
Participant  selected,  to determine the time when awards will be granted,  when
they will vest,  when they may be exercised and when they will be paid, to amend
awards previously  granted and to establish  objectives and conditions,  if any,
for earning  awards and  whether  awards will be paid after the end of the award
period.  The  Board  shall  have full  power and  authority  to  administer  and
interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations,  agreements, guidelines
and  instruments for the  administration  of the Plan and for the conduct of its

combination  thereof shall be deferred.  Deferrals shall be for such periods and
upon such terms as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

stock or a  combination  thereof,  shall be vested  at such  times and upon such
terms as may be selected by it in its sole discretion.

without  limitation,  any successor of Meridian ),  adjustments in the exercise,
purchase  or base  price of an  outstanding  award  and any  adjustments  in the
maximum numbers of shares referred to in Section 4 or Section 5 of the Plan. All
such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for ail purposes of the Plan.

9.   Miscellaneous Provisions.

     (a)  Rights as  Stockholder.  A  participant  under the Plan  shall have no
rights as a holder of Meridian  common stock with  respect to awards  hereunder,
unless  and  until  certificates  for  shares of such  stock  are  issued to the
participant.

     (b) Assignment to Transfer. No award under this Plan shall be transferrable
by the  participant  or shall be  subject  to any  manner of  alienation,  sale,
transfer,  assignment,  pledge,  encumbrance  or  charge  (other  than  by or to
Meridian),  except (i) by will or the laws of the descent and distribution (with
all references  herein to the rights or duties of holders or  participants to be
deemed to include such beneficiaries or legal  representatives of the holders or
participant unless the context otherwise  expressly  requires);  (ii) subject to
the prior approval of the Board,  for transfers to members of the  participant's
immediate  family,  charitable  institutions,  trusts  whose  beneficiaries  are
members of the participant's  immediate family and/or  charitable  institutions,
trusts whose  beneficiaries  are members of the  participant's  immediate family
and/or charitable  institutions,  or to such other persons or entities as may be
approved by the Board in each case  subject to the  condition  that the Board be
satisfied  that such  transfer is being made for the estate  and/or tax planning
purposes on a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration (other than
nominal consideration) being received therefor. Except as provided above, during
the lifetime of a participant,  awards  hereunder are  exercisable  only by, and
payable  only to, the  participant.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary
contained  herein,  until the  expiration of the phase-in  period under new Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act (as generally effective May 1, 1991, and amendments
thereto),  any  derivative  security the grant of which is intended to be exempt
from  Section  16(b)  under  the  Exchange  Act  shall  not be  transferable  or
exercisable  other than as  permitted by former Rule  16b-3(d)(1)(ii)  under the
Exchange Act.

     (c)  Agreements.  All awards  granted  under the Plan shall be evidenced by
agreements  in  such  form  and  containing   such  terms  and  conditions  (not
inconsistent with the Plan) as the Board shall adopt.

     (d) Compliance with Legal Regulations.  During the term of the Plan and the
term of any awards  granted  under the Plan,  Meridian will at all times reserve
and keep  available such number of shares as may be issuable under the Plan, and
will seek to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,  any requisite
authority  required  in the  opinion of counsel  for  Meridian in order to grant
shares of Meridian  common  stock,  or options to  purchase  such stock or other
awards  hereunder,  and transfer,  issue or sell such number of shares of common
stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of any options or other
awards. If in the opinion of counsel for Meridian the transfer, issue or sale of
any  shares of its  stock  under the Plan  shall  not be lawful  for any  reason
including  the inability of Meridian to obtain from any  regulatory  body having
jurisdiction  authority deemed by such counsel to be necessary to such transfer,
issuance or sale, Meridian shall not be obligated to transfer, issue or sell any
such shares. In any event, Meridian shall not be obligated to transfer, issue or
sell any  shares  to any  participant  unless  a  registration  statement  which
complies  with the  provisions  of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), is in effect at the time with respect to such shares or other
appropriate action has been taken under and pursuant to the terms and provisions
of the  Securities  Act and any other  applicable  securities  laws, or Meridian
receives evidence satisfactory to the Board that the transfer,  issuance or sale
of such shares, in the absence of an effective  registration  statement or other
appropriate action, would not constitute a violation of the terms and provisions
of the Securities Act.  Meridian's  obligation to issue shares upon the exercise
of any award  granted  under the Plan shall in any case be  subject to  Meridian
being satisfied that the shares purchased are being purchased for investment and
not with a view to the distribution  thereof,  if at the time of such exercise a
resale of such shares would otherwise  violate the Securities Act in the absence
of an effective registration statement relating to such shares.

     (e)  Withholding  Taxes.  Meridian  shall have the right to deduct from all
awards  hereunder  paid in cash  any  federal,  state,  local or  foreign  taxes
required by law to be withheld  with respect to such awards and, with respect to
awards  paid in stock,  to require  the payment  (through  withholding  from the
participant's salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. The obligation of Meridian
to make delivery of awards in cash or Meridian  common stock shall be subject to
currency or other restrictions imposed by any government.

     (f) No Rights to Award. No Eligible  Participant or other person shall have
any right to be granted an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action
taken  hereunder  shall be  construed  as giving  any  employee  any right to be
retained in the employ of Meridian or any of its subsidiaries or shall interfere
with or restrict in any way the rights of  Meridian or its  subsidiaries,  which
are  hereby  reserved,  to  discharge  the  employee  at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without good cause.

     (g) Costs and Expenses.  The costs and expenses of  administering  the Plan
shall be borne by  Meridian  and not  charged  to any award nor to any  Eligible
Participant receiving an award.

     (h)  Funding of Plan.  The Plan shall be  unfunded.  Meridian  shall not be
required  to  establish  any  special  or  separate  fund or to make  any  other
segregation of assets to assure the payment of any award under the Plan.

10.  Amendments and Termination.

     (a)  Amendments.  The Board may at any time  terminate or from time to time
amend the Plan in whole or in part,  but no such action shall  adversely  affect
any rights or obligations with respect to any awards  theretofore made under the
Plan.

     Unless  the  holders of at least a majority  of the  outstanding  shares of
Meridian common stock present, or represented, and entitled to vote at a meeting
of  stockholders  shall have first  approved  thereof,  no amendment of the Plan
shall be  effective  which  would  (i)  increase  the  maximum  number of shares
referred to in section 5 of the Plan or the  maximum  awards that may be granted
pursuant to section  4(d) of the Plan to any one  individual  or (ii) extend the
maximum  period during which awards may be granted under the Plan.  For purposes
of this section 10 (a), any (A)  cancellation and reissuance or (B) repricing of
any awards  made under the Plan at a new option  price as  provided in Exhibit A
hereto shall not constitute an amendment of this Plan.

     With consent of the Eligible Participant adversely affected,  the Board may
amend  outstanding  agreements  evidencing awards under the Plan in a manner not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

     (b) Termination.  Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as
above provided, the Plan (but not the awards theretofore granted under the Plan)
shall terminate on and no awards shall be granted after July __, 2009.
