                              W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Sellers are the owners by assignment of U.S. Patent 4,576,170, "Heart
Monitor and Defibrillator Device," issued March 18, 1986, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Patent");

WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell the Patent to Cardiac, and Cardiac desires to
purchase the Patent from the Sellers, in consideration for an aggregate of
165,000 shares (the "Shares") of Cardiac's common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the "Common Stock");

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration as described herein, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:

1.   PURCHASE OF PATENT. Sellers hereby sell, assign, and transfer to Cardiac,
     and Cardiac hereby purchases from Sellers, all of the right, title, and
     interest in and to the Patent and any continuations, continuations in part,
     divisional, reexaminations, reissues, or foreign counterparts or
     equivalents thereof.

2.   CONSIDERATION; DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE. As full consideration for the
     purchase of the Patent, Cardiac hereby sells, transfers, and assigns the
     Shares to Bradley. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
     Agreement, Cardiac is delivering to Bradley a stock certificate evidencing
     the Shares, which certificate shall be in definitive form and registered in
     the name of Bradley.

3.   REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Bradley represents, warrants, and covenants
     to Cardiac as follows:

          a. BRADLEY'S INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION. Bradley, in acquiring the
Shares hereunder, has relied solely upon an independent investigation made by
him and his representatives, if any. Prior to the date hereof, Bradley has been
given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from,
representatives of Cardiac. He also has been given access to and the opportunity
to examine all books and records of Cardiac, and all material contracts and
documents of Cardiac which have been filed as exhibits to Cardiac's filings made
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In making his investment
decision to purchase the Shares, Bradley is not relying on any oral or written
representations or assurances from Cardiac or any

<PAGE>

other person other than as set forth in this Agreement. Bradley has received and
reviewed Cardiac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999 and Cardiac's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

          b. ACCREDITED INVESTOR; INVESTMENT KNOWLEDGE. Bradley is an accredited
investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. He
has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as
to be capable of evaluating the risks, merits, and suitability of his investment
in Cardiac. He is knowledgeable about the affairs of Cardiac.

          c. SELLER'S ECONOMIC RISK. Bradley understands and acknowledges that
the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk. He acknowledges that
there are limitations on the liquidity of the Shares. Bradley is able to bear
the economic risk of his investment, including a possible total loss of
investment. He has adequate means of providing for his current needs and
contingencies, and he is able to afford to hold the Shares for an indefinite
period. Further, Bradley has no present need for liquidity in the Shares and he
is willing to accept such investment risks.

          d. NO GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATION OR APPROVAL. Bradley understands that
no United States federal or state agency, or similar agency of any other
country, has reviewed, approved, passed upon, or made any recommendation or
endorsement of Cardiac or the purchase of the Shares.

          e. COMPANY'S RELIANCE ON REPRESENTATIONS OF SELLERS. Bradley
understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to him in reliance on
specific exemptions from the registration requirements of U.S. securities laws,
and that Cardiac is relying upon the truth and accuracy of his representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings set forth herein in
order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and his suitability to
acquire the Shares.

          f. SHARES NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR STATE ACTS. Bradley
understands that (i) the offer and sale of the Shares have not been registered
under the Act or applicable state securities laws ("State Acts"), and are being
offered and sold pursuant to Regulation D based in part upon the representations
of Bradley contained herein, (ii) the Shares must be held indefinitely unless a
subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act and State Acts, or is
made pursuant an exemption from such registration; (iii) the certificate
evidencing the Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, and (iv) Cardiac will
make a notation on its transfer books to such effect.

          g. INVESTMENT INTENT. Bradley is acquiring the Shares for his own
account for investment, not as a nominee and not with a view to the distribution
thereof. Bradley has no present plan or intention to sell the Shares at any
predetermined time, and has made no predetermined arrangements to sell the
Shares.

          h. POWER AND AUTHORITY. Each Seller has the full power and authority
to execute, deliver, and perform this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed
and delivered by each Seller, will constitute a valid and legally binding
obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          i. NO TAX ADVICE FROM COMPANY OR ITS AGENTS. Bradley has had an
opportunity to review with his own tax advisors the foreign, federal, state and
local tax consequences of this investment,

<PAGE>

and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Bradley is relying solely
on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Cardiac or any
of its agents and understands that Bradley (and not Cardiac) shall be
responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          j. NO LEGAL ADVICE FROM COMPANY OR ITS AGENTS. Bradley acknowledges
that he has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement with his own legal counsel. Bradley is relying
solely on such counsel and not on any statements or representations of Cardiac
or any of its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for representations,
warranties and covenants set forth herein.

          k. NO SCHEME TO EVADE REGISTRATION. Bradley's acquisition of Shares is
not a transaction (or any element of a series of transactions) that is part of a
plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Act.

     4.   RESALES OF SHARES; LEGENDS.

          a. RESALES OF SHARES. Bradley acknowledges, covenants, and agrees that
he may not and will not resell the Shares unless such resale is made pursuant to
an exemption from registration under the Act and State Acts, or pursuant to an
effective and current registration statement under the Act and State Acts.
Bradley shall cause any transferee of the Shares to execute, prior to any such
transfer, an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to Sections
4, 5, and 6 hereof.

          b. LEGEND. To insure compliance with the provisions of the Act and
State Acts, the Shares shall bear a legend (the "Restrictive Legend")
substantially as follows:

          "THE ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
          "ACT"), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS ("STATE ACTS"). THE
          SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS
          SUCH OFFERS, SALES, AND TRANSFERS ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND
          STATE ACTS, OR ARE MADE PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE
          REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS."

          c. REMOVAL OF LEGEND.

               (i) The Restrictive Legend may be removed (and the restrictions
on the transferability of the Shares shall terminate) when (1) the sale of the
Shares has been registered under the Act and State Acts, and the Shares have
been sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration, (2) a
written opinion to the effect that such restrictions are no longer required or
necessary under any federal or state securities law or regulation has been
received from counsel for the holder thereof (provided that such counsel, and
the form and substance of such opinion, are reasonably satisfactory to Cardiac)
or counsel for Cardiac, (3) the Shares have been sold without registration under
the Act in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Act, (4)
Cardiac is reasonably satisfied that

<PAGE>

the holder of the Shares, in accordance with the terms of Subsection (k) of Rule
144 or of Rule 144A promulgated under the Act, shall be entitled to sell the
Shares pursuant to such Subsection, or (5) a letter or an order has been issued
to the holder thereof by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") stating that no enforcement action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by the Commission if the Shares are transferred without
registration under the Act in accordance with the conditions set forth in such
letter or order and such letter or order specifies that no subsequent
restrictions on transfer are required.

               (ii) Whenever the restrictions imposed by this Section 5 shall
terminate as hereinabove provided, the holder of a certificate representing any
of the Shares then outstanding as to which such restrictions shall have
terminated shall be entitled to receive from Cardiac, without expense to such
holder, one or more new certificates for Shares not bearing the restrictive
legend set forth in Section 4b.

     5. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. Bradley hereby covenants and agrees that for a period
of 27 months from the date hereof, he will not, without the prior written
consent of Cardiac, directly or indirectly offer, sell (including any short
sale), assign, grant any option for the sale of, acquire any option to dispose
of, or otherwise dispose of, any of the Shares.

     6. MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement cannot be altered, amended, or modified in
any way, except by a writing signed by the parties hereto.

     7. BINDING EFFECT; GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, and assigns. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws, notwithstanding any conflict of laws provisions, of the State of
California.

     8. NOTICES. Any notice, demand, or request required or permitted to be
given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given when delivered personally, by overnight courier, or by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile or other standard
form of telecommunication, to the parties at their respective addresses set
forth above (or at such other address as a party may specify by notice to the
others).

     9. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS PERMITTED. This Agreement may be executed by
facsimile in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be enforceable
against the parties actually executing such counterparts, and all of which
together shall constitute one instrument.

     10. SURVIVAL; SEVERABILITY. The representations and warranties contained
herein shall survive the closing of the sale of the Patent. If any provision of
this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law,
shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that no
such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic
benefit of this Agreement to any party.

EXHIBIT 10.1

                               GOSS HOLDINGS, INC.

                         MANAGEMENT STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

                          (EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 1, 2000)

         1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to further the best
interests of Goss Holdings, Inc. (including any successor thereto, the
"Corporation") and its subsidiaries by encouraging its key employees, as is
more fully set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of this Plan, to continue
association with the Corporation and by providing additional incentive for
unusual industry and efficiency through offering an opportunity to acquire a
proprietary stake in the Corporation and its future growth. The Corporation
believes that this goal may best be achieved by granting stock options (as
defined in Section 7 hereof), Non-Vested Stock and/or Non-Vested Units (as
defined in Section 12 hereof) to Participants (as defined in Section 6
hereof).

         2. TAX STATUS OF OPTIONS. The stock options to be granted pursuant
to this Plan (hereinafter called "Options") will not be Incentive Stock
Options as provided for in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").

         3. OPTION SHARES, NON-VESTED STOCK/UNITS; CLASSES OF OPTIONS. The
maximum number of shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Shares") that may be issued pursuant to this Plan shall be
1,350,000 consisting of a maximum of 1,000,000 Option Shares and a maximum of
350,000 Non-Vested Shares/Units, in each case subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 17 hereof. Three (3) classes of Options may be granted
under this Plan: Incentive Options, Performance Options and Discretionary
Options. Each Share and each Unit issued pursuant to this Plan will be
subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreements substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

         4. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. This Plan has been adopted by the Board
of Directors as of the date written on the first page hereof (the "Effective
Date").

<PAGE>

         5. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") or by a
committee designated by the Board of Directors to administer the Plan (herein
called the "Compensation Committee") or by its designee (herein called the
"Designee"). The Board of Directors may authorize the Compensation Committee
or the Designee to exercise any and all of the powers and functions of the
Board of Directors pursuant to the Plan. The interpretation and construction
by the Compensation Committee, the Designee or the Board of Directors of any
provisions of the Plan or of any Options or Non-Vested Stock/Units granted
under it shall be final and conclusive. No member of the Compensation
Committee or of the Board of Directors or the Designee shall be liable for
any action or determination made with respect to the Plan or any Options or
Non-Vested Stock/Units granted under it. No shareholder of the Corporation
nor any Participant, former Participant, or any beneficiary, shall have any
claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any member of the Board
of Directors or the Compensation Committee or the Designee on account of, or
by reason of, or arising out of the exercise of such discretionary power. As
used in this Plan, the term "Administrator" refers to the Board of Directors
or the Compensation Committee or the Designee acting in its capacity, or (in
the case of the Compensation Committee and/or Designee) acting pursuant to
its authorization to administer the Plan under this Section 5.

         6. ELIGIBILITY. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan as
recipients of Options and/or Non-Vested Stock/Units shall be all key
employees, consultants and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
("Participants"). Subject to Sections 7 and 12 below, the Administrator will,
from time to time, select the eligible persons to whom Options or Non-Vested
Stock/Units will be granted. Each eligible person who holds an outstanding
award of Options or Non-Vested Stock/Units will be a "Participant".

         7. GRANT OF OPTIONS.

                  (a) INCENTIVE OPTIONS: Options to purchase shares of
Restricted Stock (the "Incentive Options"), subject to adjustment as provided
for in Section 17 hereof, shall be granted immediately upon the Effective
Date to the Participants and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3 hereto,
pursuant to Incentive Option Agreements substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. The Incentive Options shall vest upon the terms set
forth in such Incentive Option Agreements.

                                    Page 2
<PAGE>

                  (b) PERFORMANCE OPTIONS: Options to purchase shares of
Restricted Stock (the "Performance Options"), subject to adjustment as
provided for in Section 17 hereof, shall be granted immediately upon the
Effective Date to the Participants and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3
hereto, pursuant to Performance Option Agreements substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C. Subject to the Yearly Vesting Schedule set
forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the "YVS"), the Performance Options
shall vest in specified increments as of the end of each fiscal year of the
Corporation commencing with calendar year 2000 and continuing through and
including calendar year 2003, and shall vest only if and to the extent the
Corporation attains certain operating performance objectives, all in
accordance with the provisions set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto. The
YVS sets forth the maximum amount of Performance Options which may vest as of
the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation commencing with fiscal year
2000 and continuing through and including fiscal year 2003.

                  (c) DISCRETIONARY OPTIONS: Options to purchase shares of
Restricted Stock (the "Discretionary Options"), subject to adjustment as
provided for in Section 17 hereof, shall be granted immediately upon the
Effective Date to the Participants and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3
hereto, pursuant to Discretionary Option Agreements substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D.

                  (d) Additional Options may be granted from time to time in
the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee or the
Designee on terms and conditions set forth in agreements entered into in
connection with such grants. Such terms and conditions may (but shall not be
required to) be identical to the terms and conditions of Incentive Options,
Performance Options, and/or Discretionary Options.

         8. OPTION PRICE. The purchase price for each Share covered by any
Incentive Option or Performance Option shall be $7.41, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 17 hereof. The purchase price for each Share covered
by a Discretionary Option shall be as set forth in the related Discretionary

                                    Page 3
<PAGE>

         9. DURATION OF OPTIONS. (a) Each Option shall remain in effect from
the date of the grant of the Option until it is terminated according to its
terms or as hereinafter provided, but in no event beyond the tenth
anniversary of the date of grant of the Option (the period when an Option is
in effect is hereinafter referred to as the "Option Period").

                  (b) Except as otherwise set forth in the Option Agreement,
the Option Period of an Option shall terminate upon the date upon which the
Participant holding such Option ceases to be an employee, consultant or
director of the Corporation or its subsidiaries for any reason including, but
not limited to, retirement, death, disability, involuntary termination or
termination for cause.

                  (c) The expiration of a consulting arrangement without the
prior termination thereof shall not be deemed a termination of such
arrangement (or cessation of being a consultant) for purposes of this Plan.
The employment, consultancy or directorship of a Participant who has been
granted Options shall not be deemed to have terminated if the Participant is
absent from such employment, consultancy or directorship by reason of an
approved leave of absence (in accordance with the applicable policy of the
Corporation or the applicable subsidiary) or is transferred from the
Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation (each a "Group Member") to
another Group Member. If a Group Member of the Corporation ceases to be such
a Group Member, the employment, consultancy or directorship, as applicable,
of each employee, consultant and director of that company who is not an
employee, consultant or director of another remaining Group Member
immediately thereafter shall be deemed to have ceased on the date the company
ceases to be a Group Member unless proper provision is made for the
conversion of such Participant's Options into options of the surviving or
acquiring company on terms intended to preserve substantially the economic
value thereof as of the date such subsidiary ceases to be a Group Member.

         10. EXERCISABILITY OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall be exercisable
during the period of time from the date it vests until the end of the Option
Period and may be exercised only in accordance with the terms of this Plan
and the applicable Option Agreement.

         11. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE AND PAYMENT FOR SHARES. (a) A Participant
shall exercise an Option by giving notice to the Corporation in the form
attached hereto as Schedule 2. Such

                                    Page 4
<PAGE>

notice shall be deemed sufficient for this purpose only if delivered to the
Corporation at its principal office and only if it states (i) the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and (ii) the
date, not more than ninety (90) days after the date of such notice, upon
which the Shares shall be purchased and payment therefor shall be made (the
"Exercise Date"). The exercise of an Option shall be effective only if, on or
before the Exercise Date, the Participant pays the aggregate Option Price of
the Shares being purchased in cash or by certified or bank cashier's check,
delivered to the principal office of the Corporation. The Corporation shall,
as soon as practicable after the Exercise Date, deliver or cause to be
delivered to the Participant a certificate or certificates for the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is so exercised and payment is so
made, registered in the name of the exercising Participant. Until such
certificates have been issued, the exercising Participant shall not have any
of the rights of a shareholder of the Corporation including, without
limitation, the right to vote with respect to the underlying Shares. As
mentioned in Section 3 above, all Shares issued under this Plan will be
subject to the terms of a Restricted Stock Agreement substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as of the Exercise
Date for an Option (i) the Corporation may not issue Shares with respect to
such Option by reason of any law or contract or (ii) any law or any
regulation of any commission or agency having jurisdiction shall require the
Corporation or the exercising Participant to take any action with respect to
the Shares acquired by the exercise of an Option, then the date upon which
the Corporation shall issue or cause to be issued the certificate or
certificates for the Shares shall be postponed until such issuance is
permitted or full compliance has been made with all such requirements of law
or regulation, as applicable; provided, that the Corporation shall use its
reasonable efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such
requirements of law or regulation. Further, if requested by the Corporation,
at or before the time of the issuance of the Shares with respect to which
exercise of an Option has been made, the exercising Participant shall deliver
to the Corporation his or her written statements satisfactory in form and
content of the Corporation, that he or she intends to hold the Shares so
acquired by him or her on exercise of his or her Option, for investment
purposes only and not with a view to resale or other distribution thereof to
the public in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Moreover, in the event that the Corporation shall
determine that, in compliance with the Securities Act or other applicable
statutes or regulations, it is necessary to register any of the Shares with
respect to which an

                                    Page 5
<PAGE>

exercise of an Option has been made, or to qualify any such Shares for
exemption from any of the requirements of the Securities Act or any other
applicable statute or regulation, no Options may be exercised and no Shares
shall be issued to the exercising Participant until the required action has
been completed; provided, that the Corporation shall use its reasonable
efforts to take all necessary action to comply with such requirements of law
or regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
neither the Board of Directors nor the members of the Compensation Committee
owe a fiduciary duty to any Participant in his or her capacity as such.

         12. GRANT OF NON-VESTED STOCK/UNITS. (a) Non-Vested Units
("Non-Vested Units"), subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 17
hereof, shall be granted immediately upon the Effective Date to the
Participants and in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, pursuant to
Non-Vested Unit Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit E. The Non-Vested Units shall vest upon the terms set forth in such
Non-Vested Units Agreements.

                  (b) Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and the
Non-Vested Unit Agreement, Participants may defer the grant of any portion of
the Non-Vested Units pursuant to the Non-Vested Unit Agreement until a
Deferral Date Designated by the Participant.

                  (c) A Participant may change the Deferral Date by giving
notice to the Corporation in the form attached hereto as Schedule 4. The
notice will suffice to change the Deferral Date only if it is delivered to
the Corporation at its principal office at least one year before the original
Deferral Date or the amended Deferral Date, whichever is earlier. If the
Grantee defers payment of his or her Non-Vested Units, they will be paid in
the form of Restricted Stock as soon as administratively feasible after the
Deferral Date.

                  (d) Each grant of Non-Vested Stock/Units pursuant to this
Plan shall be made in writing and upon such terms and conditions as may be
determined by the Board of Directors or by the Compensation Committee at the
time of grant, subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in this
Plan. The Non-Vested Stock/Unit Agreement for each grant of Non-Vested Stock
or Non-Vested Units shall be executed by the Chief Executive Officer, except
that, in the event that the Chief Executive Officer is the recipient of any
Non-Vested Stock or Non-Vested Units, the Non-Vested Stock/Unit Agreement for
such Non-Vested Stock or Non-Vested Units shall be

                                    Page 6
<PAGE>

executed by the Secretary of the Corporation. Shares of Non-Vested Stock and
Non-Vested Units shall also be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (i) Except as provided in this paragraph (i) and the
                  Non-Vested Stock/Unit Agreement, the Participant shall have,
                  with respect to the shares of Non-Vested Stock and/or
                  Non-Vested Units, all of the rights of a stockholder of the
                  Corporation holding the Shares that are the subject of the
                  Non-Vested Stock or Non-Vested Units, including, if
                  applicable, the right to receive any cash dividends. If so
                  determined by the Compensation Committee in the applicable
                  Non-Vested Stock/Unit Agreement and subject to the
                  availability of sufficient Shares under Section 3 hereof, (A)
                  cash dividends on the Shares that are the subject of the
                  Non-Vested Stock and/or Non-Vested Units shall be
                  automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Non-Vested
                  Stock or Non-Vested Units (as the case may be), held subject
                  to the vesting of the underlying Non-Vested Stock or
                  Non-Vested Units, and (B) dividends payable in Shares shall be
                  paid in the form of Non-Vested Stock and/or Non-Vested Units
                  (as the case may be), held subject to the vesting of the
                  underlying Non-Vested Stock or Non-Vested Units.

                  (ii) Except as otherwise set forth in the Non-Vested
                  Stock/Unit Agreement and subject to Section 12(b)(iii) hereof,
                  shares of Non-Vested Stock and Non-Vested Units which have not
                  vested shall be forfeited by the Participant on the date upon
                  which the Participant holding such Non-Vested Stock or
                  Non-Vested Units ceases to be an employee, consultant or
                  director of the Corporation or its subsidiaries for any reason
                  including, but not limited to, retirement, disability,
                  involuntary termination or termination for cause; provided
                  that, if the Participant holding such Non-Vested Stock or
                  Non-Vested Units ceases to be an employee, consultant or
                  director of the Corporation or its subsidiaries due to such
                  Participant's death or disability (as that term is defined in
                  the Company's Salaried Long Term Disability Plan), shares of
                  Non-Vested Stock and Non-Vested Units which have not vested
                  shall immediately vest upon such Participant's death or
                  disability and shall not be forfeited.

                  (iii) The expiration of a consulting arrangement without the
                  prior termination thereof shall not be deemed a termination of
                  such arrangement (or cessation of being a consultant) for
                  purposes of this Plan. The employment, consultancy or
                  directorship of a Participant who has been granted Non-Vested
                  Stock and/or Non-Vested Units shall not be deemed to have
                  terminated if the Participant is absent from such employment,
                  consultancy or directorship by reason of an approved leave of
                  absence (in accordance with the applicable policy of the
                  Corporation or the applicable subsidiary) or is transferred
                  from the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation (each
                  a "Group Member") to another Group Member. If a Group Member
                  of the Corporation ceases to be such a Group Member, the
                  employment, consultancy or directorship, as applicable, of
                  each employee, consultant and director of that company who is
                  not an employee, consultant or director of another remaining
                  Group Member immediately thereafter shall be deemed to have
                  ceased on the date the company ceases to be a Group Member
                  unless proper provision is made for the conversion of such
                  Participant's Units into stock units (or some other type of
                  stock-based award) of the surviving or acquiring company on
                  terms intended to preserve substantially the economic value
                  thereof.

                  (iv) If and when shares of Non-Vested Stock vest in Restricted
                  Stock without a prior forfeiture of such Non-Vested Stock,
                  certificates for such Shares shall be delivered to the
                  Participant upon surrender of the Non-Vested Stock
                  certificates. As mentioned in Section 3 above, all Shares
                  issued under this Plan will be subject to the terms of a
                  Restricted Stock Agreement substantially in the form attached
                  hereto as Exhibit A.

                  (v) If and when Non-Vested Units vest in Units, such Units
                  shall be paid out to the Participant in Restricted Stock on
                  such date as provided in the Non-Vested Unit Agreement.

         13. EVIDENCE OF SHARES. Shares of Non-Vested Stock shall be
evidenced in such manner as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate,
including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock
certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of Non-Vested Stock
shall be registered in the name of the Participant to whom such

                                    Page 8
<PAGE>

shares are granted and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the
terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such shares of Non-Vested
Stock, substantially in the following form:

                  "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of
                  stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and
                  conditions (including forfeiture) of the Goss Holdings, Inc.
                  Management Stock Incentive Plan and a Non-Vested Stock/Unit
                  Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at
                  the offices of Goss Holdings, Inc., c/o Goss Graphic Systems,
                  Inc., 700 Oakmont Lane, Westmont, Illinois 60559-5546."

The Compensation Committee may require that the certificates evidencing
shares of Non-Vested Stock be held in custody by the Corporation until such
shares have vested and that, as a condition of any grant of Non-Vested
Stock/Unit, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in
blank, relating to the Shares covered by such grant of Non-Vested Stock/Unit.

         14. CASH-OUT OF CERTAIN OPTIONS. (a) The Compensation Committee or
the Board of Directors may cancel any outstanding Options in exchange for a
cash payment, or in the discretion of the Compensation Committee or the Board
of Directors payment of other property, to the Participant equal to the
excess of (x) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation) of the consideration received per Stonington
Share by Stonington in any Extraordinary Transaction (as defined below), over
(y) the Option Price for such Options, multiplied by the number of Shares
subject to such cancelled Options, in each case effective upon the
consummation of the Extraordinary Transaction.

                  (b) For purposes of this Agreement, an "Extraordinary
Transaction" means an event as a result of which Stonington Partners, Inc.
and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Stonington") cease to be the beneficial
owners of at least 50% of the common equity of the Corporation on a fully
diluted basis, or any other event as a result of which: (i) the Corporation
consolidates, enters into a plan of reorganization with, or merges with or
into another corporation or conveys, transfers or leases all or substantially
all of its assets to any person, or any corporation consolidates with or
merges with or into the Corporation, in any such event pursuant to a
transaction in which the outstanding voting common stock of the Corporation
is changed

                                    Page 9
<PAGE>

into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where (A) the outstanding voting common stock of the Corporation
is changed into or exchanged for, in whole or in part, voting stock of the
surviving corporation which is not redeemable capital stock and (B) the
holders of the voting common stock of the Corporation immediately prior to
such transaction own, directly or indirectly, not less than 50% of the voting
stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction; (ii)
at any time, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation then in office does not consist of (A) individuals who two years
prior to such date were members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation,
(B) new directors whose election to such Board of Directors or whose
nomination for election by the shareholders of the Corporation was approved
by a vote of 66-2/3% of the directors when still in office who were either
directors at the beginning of such two-year period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously approved by directors elected or
nominated in accordance with this clause (B) and (C) such other directors as
have been nominated or approved by Stonington; or (iii) the Corporation is
liquidated, dissolved or wound-up, or adopts a plan of liquidation.

         15. TRANSFERABILITY. Incentive Options, Performance Options,
Discretionary Options, Non-Vested Stock and Non-Vested Units (i) may not be
assigned, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in any way, (ii) shall not be
assignable by operation of law (except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution) and (iii) shall not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Participant only by such Participant. Any attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition contrary to the provisions hereof
shall be null and void and without effect.

         16. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. This Plan shall terminate upon the
close of business on February 1, 2006 (other than with respect to Options
that have not by their terms terminated at such time or with respect to
Non-Vested Stock/Units which has not yet vested or been forfeited in
accordance with its terms at such time, with respect to which this Plan shall
continue, in the case of Options, through the end of the Option Period
thereof, or in the case of Non-Vested Stock/Units, until the Non-Vested
Stock/Units vests or is forfeited) unless it shall have sooner terminated by
there having been granted and fully exercised Options covering the entire
number of Shares (subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 17 hereof)
available for Options under Section 3, and by there having been granted and
either vested or forfeited Non-Vested

                                    Page 10
<PAGE>

Stock/Units covering the entire number of Shares (subject to adjustment as
provided for in Section 17 hereof) available for Non-Vested Stock/Units under
Section 3.

         17. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of the declaration of any stock
dividend on the Shares of the Corporation or in the event of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, acquisition, separation,
recapitalization, spin-off, split-up, extraordinary dividend, combination or
exchange of the Shares or like adjustment, the number and type of securities
or other property available pursuant to this Plan and the number and type of
securities or other property subject to any Option or Non-Vested Stock/Unit,
as the case may be, granted or to be granted pursuant to this Plan, and the
Option Prices, shall be adjusted by appropriate changes in this Plan and in
any outstanding Option or Non-Vested Stock/Unit (including the substitution
of cash or other property for Shares, as applicable). Any such adjustment to
the Plan or to Non-Vested Stock/Unit, Options or Option Prices shall be made
by action of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, whose
determination shall be conclusive.

         18. AMENDMENT OR DISCONTINUANCE OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors
or the Compensation Committee may amend or terminate this Plan and may amend
any Option, or Non-Vested Stock/Unit granted pursuant to this Plan at any
time; provided that no amendment or termination may adversely affect a
Participant's rights to or interest in any Option, Non-Vested Stock/Unit
previously granted under this Plan unless such Participant shall have agreed
thereto in writing.

         19. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS. (a) Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if the Corporation proposes to effect an Initial
Public Offering (defined below) and if the appropriate securities regulatory
authority or stock exchange determines that in order for the Initial Public
Offering to proceed, it would be necessary to reduce the number of issued
options or the term of such issued options, then the Board of Directors or
the Compensation Committee may: (i) require the holders of Options to either
exercise Options or agree to the cancellation of such Options so that after
such exercise or cancellation the number of issued Options is no more than
the maximum number permitted by such appropriate regulatory authorities or
stock exchange; or (ii) shorten the Option Period of any Option to the extent
necessary to comply with applicable law or stock exchange requirements, as
the case may be. For the purposes of effecting such amendment, the Option to
be affected and the order that they shall be affected shall be as

                                    Page 11
<PAGE>

follows: first, Discretionary Options granted to Participants who have been
granted Incentive Options or Performance Options; second, Incentive Options;
third, Performance Options; and fourth, Discretionary Options not covered in
first above. The extent that any such Options shall be required to be
exercised or cancelled, the determination as to whether to exercise or cancel
such Options shall be made by the holder thereof in his or her sole
discretion. In addition, the allocation of Options that are required to be
exercised or cancelled among the holders of each category of Options shall be
pro rata among such holders, except to the extent a holder agrees in writing
to the exercise or cancellation of a disproportionately large number of his
or her Options in that category.

         (b) For purposes of this Agreement, Initial Public Offering shall
mean a sale of Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act (other than a registration statement relating to the
public offering of Shares representing less than 15% of the then outstanding
Shares).

         20. WITHHOLDING. No later than the date as of which an amount first
becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for federal income
tax purposes with respect to any Option, or Non-Vested Stock/Unit hereunder,
such Participant shall pay to the Corporation any federal, state, local or
foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such
amount. The obligations of the Corporation hereunder shall be conditional on
such payment, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have
the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due the
Participant.

      Re:  Exercise of Stock Option

To Whom It May Concern:

      Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement between us dated
_________________, in which you have granted to me a __________________________
[INSERT INCENTIVE OPTION, PERFORMANCE OPTION, OR DISCRETIONARY OPTION, AS THE
CASE MAY BE] to purchase a certain number of the shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Goss Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), on certain terms and conditions, I hereby
give notice that I elect to exercise such options to the extent of ________
Shares at $________________ [INSERT PURCHASE PRICE OF OPTIONS AS ADJUSTED AT
THE TIME OF EXERCISE] per Share (the "Purchased Shares"). In full payment of
the option price for the Purchased Shares provided in the Option Agreement, I
agree to deliver on ___________________ (the "Closing Date") [NOT TO EXCEED
90 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE] a certified or bank cashier's check
to the order of the Corporation or cash in the amount of $____________ for
such exercise. I also agree to pay on the Closing Date an additional amount
equal to any withholding obligation the Corporation may have as a result of
this exercise or with respect to the Purchased Shares.

      I hereby covenant and agree that I am acquiring the Purchased Shares
for investment purposes only and not with a view to resale or other
distribution thereof to the public in violation of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). I further covenant and agree that I shall
not dispose of any of the Purchased Shares in any transaction or transactions
which, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, may violate the
Securities Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder or any applicable
state securities, or "blue sky", laws.

      I further covenant and agree that, if any of the Purchased Shares are
registered under the Securities Act, no public offering (otherwise than on a
national securities exchange, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended) of any of the

defined in the Securities Act.

      I agree with respect to the Purchased Shares I receive as a result of

applicable of the Restricted Stock Agreement.

      I understand that the Corporation may endorse upon the certificate or

foregoing restrictions, or any other applicable restrictions, as it may deem
appropriate.

      Re:  Amendment of Deferral Date

To Whom It May Concern:

      Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Vested Unit Agreement between us dated
_________________, by which I have been granted a certain number of
Non-Vested Units payable in the form of restricted shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of Goss Holdings, Inc., on certain terms and
conditions, I hereby give notice that I elect to amend the Deferral Date for
the payment of my Non-Vested Units from _____________________ (the current

      I understand that this notice will not be effective unless both the
current Deferral Date and the amended Deferral Date are at least one year
later than the date I deliver this letter to Goss Holdings, Inc., at the
above address, or deposit it at a United States Post Office as registered
