agreement evidencing  such  Option shall be returned to the  Participant
exercising  such  Option together with  the  delivery  of  the certificates

Participant and valued at their Fair Market Value on  the effective date of such
exercise, or (iii) partly in shares of Common  Stock  with the balance in cash,
by  certified  check, bank  cashier's check or wire transfer. Any payment in
shares of  Common  Stock  shall be effected by the delivery  of  such shares  to
the  Secretary of the Company,  duly  endorsed  in blank  or accompanied by
stock powers duly executed in  blank, together  with  any  other  documents  and
evidences  as  the Secretary of the Company shall require from time to time.

       (4)  Any  Option granted under the Plan may be exercised  by a

evidencing such Option  and instructions signed by the Participant requesting
the  Company to  deliver the shares of Common Stock subject to such  Option to

       (5)  Certificates  for  shares  of  Common  Stock  purchased upon the

                                       16
<PAGE>

exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the  Participant and
delivered to the Participant as  soon  as practicable following the effective
date on which  the  Option is  exercised; provided, however, that such delivery
shall  be effected for all purposes when a stock transfer agent  of  the Company
shall have deposited such certificates in the  United
States mail, addressed to the Participant.

       (6)  During  the  lifetime  of  a  Participant  each  Option granted  to
him shall be exercisable only by him.  No Option shall be assignable or
transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

   (d)  Limitations on Grant of Incentive Stock Options

       (1)  The  aggregate Fair Market Value of  shares  of  Common Stock  with
respect to which "incentive stock options" (within the  meaning of Section 422,
without regard to Section  422(d) of  the  Code)  are  exercisable  for  the
first  time  by  a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan  (and
any other  stock option plan of the Company, or any subsidiary  of the  Company
shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall  be  determined  as  of
the  date  on  which  each  such Incentive  Stock  Option is granted. If  such
aggregate  Fair Market  Value  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  underlying  such
Incentive  Stock  Options  exceeds  $100,000,  then  Incentive Stock Options
granted hereunder to such Participant shall, to the   extent   and  in  the
order  required  by   Regulations promulgated under the Code (or any other
authority having  the force  of  Regulations), automatically be deemed  to  be
Non-Qualified  Stock Options, but all other terms  and  provisions of  such
Incentive Stock Options shall remain  unchanged.  In the  absence of such
Regulations (and authority), or  if  such Regulations (or authority) require or
permit a designation of the  options  which shall cease to constitute Incentive
Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options shall, to the extent of  such excess
and  in  the  order  in  which  they  were   granted, automatically  be  deemed
to be Non-Qualified  Stock  Options, but  all  other  terms and provisions of
such Incentive  Stock Options shall remain unchanged.

        (2)  No  Incentive  Stock  Option  may  be  granted  to  an individual
if,  at  the  time of  the  proposed  grant,  such individual  owns,  directly
or  indirectly  (based   on   the attribution  rules  in  Section  424(d)  of
the  Code)  stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined  voting
power  of  all classes of stock of the Company or any  of  its subsidiaries,
unless (i) the exercise price of such  Incentive Stock  Option is at least 110%
of the Fair Market Value  of  a share  of Common Stock at the time such
Incentive Stock Option is  granted  and  (ii)  such Incentive  Stock  Option  is
not exercisable after the expiration of five years from  the  date such
Incentive Stock Option is granted.

   (e)  Acceleration of Exercise Date Upon Change in Control

Upon  the  occurrence  of a Change in  Control,  each  Option granted under the
Plan and outstanding at such time shall  become fully  and  immediately
exercisable and shall remain  exercisable until its expiration, termination or
cancellation pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

shares issued from the PEC PLAN will subject to a leak out provision as defined
herein, and in the employment agreement or consultant contract of each
Professional, Employee or Consultant.  The Plan Administrator, at its sole
discretion, can increase the maximum number of shares to be released into the
marketplace by each recipient, but cannot go below the threshold amount of the
lower of 2,500 shares per recipient per month, or 25% of the recipient's total
holdings.  The discretional increase can be made by the Plan Administrator to up

PLAN shall be earned out, and placed in Escrow to be released to recipients in
accordance with their contracts or agreements with the company and at the
direction of the Plan Administrator.

to recognize income for
federal  income  tax purposes in connection with such  Restricted  Stock  or
Stock  Bonus, in such amounts as the  Board  shall determine from time to time;

Fair Market Value  of the  related  shares of Restricted Stock or Stock
compensation  on  such date.  A  Cash Bonus shall be subject to such conditions
as the Board shall determine at the time of the grant of such Cash Bonus.

   (a)  Outstanding Restricted Stock and Phantom Stock

Participant receives any securities  or  other property  (including dividends
paid in cash) with  respect  to  a share  of Restricted Stock, the Issue Date

of  the date  of  such  event, as a result of any dividend,  stock  split

otherwise, such securities or other property will  not vest  until  such share
of Restricted Stock vests, and  shall  be held by the Company pursuant to
Paragraph 7 (d)(2) hereof.

The Board  may, in its absolute discretion,  adjust  any grant  of shares of
Restricted Stock, the Issue Date with respect to which has not occurred as of
the date of the occurrence of any of the following events, or any grant of
shares of Phantom Stock, to  reflect any dividend, stock split,
recapitalization,  merger, consolidation,  combination,  exchange  of  shares
or   similar corporate change as the Board may deem appropriate to prevent the
enlargement or dilution of rights of Participants under  the grant.

any  other increase  or  decrease  in  the number of  such  shares  effected
without  receipt of consideration by the Company,  the  Board shall
proportionally adjust the number of shares and the exercise price  per  share
of  Common Stock subject to  each  outstanding Option.

   (c)  Outstanding Options, Certain Mergers

Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger  or consolidation
(except a merger of consolidation  as  a result  of  which the holders of shares
of Common  Stock  receive securities  of  another corporation), each Option
outstanding on the  date  of  such  merger or consolidation  shall  entitle  the

                                       19
<PAGE>
Participant  to  acquire  upon exercise the  securities  which  a holder  of the

In  the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a  sale  of  all
or substantially all of the Company's assets,  a merger  or  consolidation
involving the  Company  in  which  the Company  is  not  the  surviving
corporation  or  a  merger  or consolidation involving the Company in which the
Company is the surviving corporation but the holders of shares of Common Stock
receive securities of another corporation and/or other property, including cash,
the Board shall, in its absolute discretion, have the power to:

   (1)  cancel,  effective immediately prior to the  occurrence  of such  event,
each Option outstanding immediately prior to such    event  (whether  or  not
then  exercisable),  and,  in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to
the Participant to whom  such  Option  was granted an amount in  cash, for each
share of  Common Stock subject to such Option  equal to  the excess  of  (A) the
value, as determined by the  Board  in its  absolute  discretion,  of the
property  (including  cash) received  by  the  holder of a. share of  Common
Stock  as  a result  of  such  event over (B) the exercise  price  of  such
Option; or

   (2)  provide   for  the  exchange  of  each  Option  outstanding immediately
prior  to  such  event  (whether  or   not   then exercisable) for an option on
some or all of the property  for which such Option is exchanged and, incident
thereto, make  an equitable  adjustment as determined by the  Board  in  its
absolute  discretion in the exercise price of the  option,  or the  number  of
shares or amount of property subject  to  the
option  or, if appropriate, provide for a cash payment to  the Participant  to
whom  such  Option  was  granted  in  partial consideration for the exchange of
the Option.

   (e)  Outstanding Options. Other Changes

    In  the  event  of  any change in the capitalization of  the Company   or
corporate  change  other  than  those  specifically referred  to in Sections
11(b), (c) or (d) hereof, the  Board may,  in  its absolute discretion, make
such adjustments  in  the number and class of shares subject to Options
outstanding on  the date  on  which such change occurs and in the per share
exercise price   of  each  such  Option  as  the  Board  may  consider
appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

   (f)  No Other Rights

    Except  as  expressly  provided in the Plan,  no  Participant shall   have
any  rights  by  reason  of  any  subdivision or consolidation of shares of
stock of any class, the payment of any dividend,  any increase or decrease in
the number  of  shares  of  stock  of  any class or any dissolution,
liquidation,  merger  or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation.
Except as expressly  provided in the Plan, no issuance by  the  Company  of
shares  of  stock  of any class, or securities  convertible  into shares of
stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment  by reason  thereof  shall
be made with respect  to,  the  number  of shares  of  Common  Stock subject to

                                       20

an Incentive  Award  or  the exercise price of any Option.

12.  Rights as a Shareholder

    No person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares
of Common Stock covered by or relating to any Incentive Award granted pursuant
to this Plan until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate with respect
to such shares. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 11 hereof, no
adjustment to any Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights
for which the record date occurs prior to the date such stock certificate is
issued.

13.  No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Incentive Award

    Nothing  contained in the Plan or any Incentive  Award  shall confer  upon
any  Participant any  right  with  respect  to  the continuation of his
employment by the Company or interfere in any way  with the right of the
Company, subject to the terms  of  any separate  employment agreement to the
contrary, at  any  time to terminate  such  employment  or  to  increase  or
decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the
time of the grant of an Incentive Award.

    No person shall have any claim or right to receive an Incentive Award
hereunder.  The  Board's  granting  of   an Incentive  Award  to  a  Participant
at any  time  shall  neither require  the  Board  to  grant an  Incentive  Award
to  such Participant or any other Participant or other person at any  time nor
preclude the Board from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any
other Participant or other person.

14.  Securities Matters

    (a)  The  Company shall be under no obligation  to  effect  the registration
pursuant to the Securities Act  of  any  shares  of Common  Stock  to  be
issued  hereunder  or  to  effect  similar compliance under any state laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to  the contrary, the Company shall not be
obligated to cause  to be  issued  or  delivered any certificates evidencing
shares  of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until the Company is
advised  by  its counsel that the issuance and delivery of  such certificates is
in  compliance  with  all  applicable laws, regulations of governmental
authority and the requirements of any securities  exchange on which shares of
Common Stock are  traded.  The  Board  may require, as a condition of the
issuance  and delivery  of  certificates  evidencing  shares  of  Common  Stock
pursuant  to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such  shares make  such
covenants, agreements and representations,  and  that such  certificates  bear
such legends, as the Board,  in  its sole discretion, deems necessary or
desirable.

    (b)  The  exercise of any Option granted hereunder  shall only be  effective
at such time as counsel to the Company  shall  have determined  that  the
issuance and delivery of shares  of  Common Stock  pursuant  to  such  exercise
is  in  compliance  with  all
applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and the requirements of
any securities exchange on which shares of Common Stock are traded. The Company
may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any exercise of an
Option granted hereunder
in order to allow the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto to be

                                       21
<PAGE>

made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods
for compliance available under federal or state securities laws. The Company
shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the
effectiveness of the exercise of an Option granted hereunder. During the period
that the effectiveness of the exercise of an Option has been deferred, the
Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such
exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

15.  Withholding Taxes

    Whenever  shares of Common Stock are to be  issued  upon  the exercise  of
an  Option, the occurrence of  the  Issue  Date  or Vesting Date with respect to
a share of Restricted Stock  or  the payment  of  a Stock compensation, the
Company shall have the  right  to require the Participant to remit to the
Company in cash an amount sufficient  to  satisfy federal, state and local
withholding  tax requirements,  if any, attributable to such exercise,
occurrence or   payment  prior  to  the  delivery  of  any  certificate or
certificates for such shares. In addition, upon the grant of a Cash Bonus or the
making of a payment with respect to a share of Phantom Stock, the Company shall
have the right to withhold from any cash payment required to be made pursuant
thereto an amount
sufficient to satisfy the federal, state and local withholding tax requirements,
if any, attributable to such exercise or grant.

16.  Amendment of the Plan

    The Board of Directors may at any time suspend or discontinue the  Plan  or
revise  or  amend it in  any  respect  whatsoever, provided,  however, that
without approval of the shareholders  no revision or amendment shall (i) except
as provided in Section  11
hereof, increase the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued  under
the  Plan, (ii) materially increase  the  benefits accruing to individuals
holding Incentive Awards granted pursuant to  the  Plan or (iii) materially
modify the requirements  as  to
eligibility for participation in the Plan.

17.  No Obligation to Exercise

    The grant to a Participant of an Option shall impose no obligation upon such
Participant to exercise such Option.

18.  Transfers Upon Death

    Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Incentive Awards granted  to
such  Participant  may  be  exercised  only  by  the executors or administrators
of the Participant's estate or by any person  or persons who shall have acquired
such right to exercise by  will  or by the laws of descent and distribution. No
transfer by  will or the laws of descent and distribution of any Incentive
Award,  or  the right to exercise any Incentive Award,  shall  be effective  to
bind the Company unless the Board  shall  have been furnished with (a) written
notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Board may
deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by
the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Incentive
Award  that are or would have been applicable  to  the
Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgments made by the Participant in

                                       22
<PAGE>

connection with the grant of the Incentive Award.

19.  Expenses and Receipts

    The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company.  Any proceeds
received by the Company in connection with any Incentive Award will be used for
general corporate purposes.

20.  Failure to Comply

    In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein,
failure by a Participant to comply with any  of  the terms  and  conditions of
the Plan or the agreement  executed  by such  Participant  evidencing  an
Incentive  Award,  unless  such
failure  is  remedied by such Participant within ten days after having  been
notified of such failure by the Board, shall  be grounds  for  the cancellation
and forfeiture of  such  Incentive Award,  in  whole  or in part as the Board,
in  its  absolute discretion, may determine.
