            stock be issued upon exercise of an Option and no fractional share
            of Restricted Stock may be issued.

5.    ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES.

      Awards may be granted by the Board to any employee or agent of the
Company, including any such employee who is also an officer of the Company.

6.    AWARDS

      6.1 GENERALLY.Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitation set forth
in this Plan, the Company, by action of the Board, may from time to time grant
Awards to those eligible employees as may be selected by the Board, in such
amounts and on such other terms as the Board in its sole discretion shall
determine. The date on which the Board approves the granting of Awards shall be
the date on which such Award is granted.

<PAGE>

      6.2 OPTIONS. The Board has the authority to grant Awards of Options to
      Participants with the following terms and condition and with such
      additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of
      the Plan as the Board shall determine:

      (a)   Exercise Price. The purchase price for a share of Stock subject to
            an Option granted hereunder shall be not less that 100% of the Fair
            Market Value of the Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
            case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any participant then
            owning more than 10% of the voting power of all classed of the
            Company's stock, the purchase price per share of the Stock subject
            to such Option shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value
            of the Stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option,
            determined as provided above.

      (b)   Option Term. An Incentive Stock Option Award shall be exercisable
            for a period of 10 years from the date of the grant thereof and NQSQ
            Awards shall be exercisable for a period of 10 years and 1 day from
            the date of the grant thereof.

      (c)   Time and Method of Exercise. An Option may be exercise, in whole or
            in part, and shall be exercised by the Participant delivering a
            written notice of exercise to the Board and paying to the company
            the full purchase price of the shares acquired upon exercise of the
            Option or any portion thereof. No Option shall be exercisable until
            the Plan is approved by the Shareholders of the Company, and as
            provided in Section 14 hereof.

            The full purchase price of each share of Stock purchased upon the
            exercise of an Option shall be paid:

            (i)   in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or
                  money order payable to the order of the Company; or

            (ii)  at the discretion of the Board, through the delivery of shares
                  of Stock, having initially or as a result of successive
                  exchanges of shares, an aggregate fair market value (as
                  determined in the manner provided under this Plan) equal to
                  the Option price;

            (iii) by a combination of both (a) and (b) above;

      provided, however, that the benefit received by a Participant upon
      exercise of an Option for which payment has been made in whole or in part
      by delivery of shares of Stock shall not exceed the spread inherent in
      such Option. For purposes of this Paragraph 7, the "spread inherent" in
      such Option shall equal the difference between the aggregate exercise
      price of the Option and the fair market value of the shares of Stock
      acquired upon the exercise of such Option.

<PAGE>

            The Board shall determine acceptable methods for tendering Stock as
            payment upon exercise of an Option and may impose such additional
            limitations and prohibitions on the use of Stock as a payment upon
            the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate.

      (d)   Limits. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date
            of the Option grant) of all Incentive Stock Options granted under
            the Plan to any Optionee in any calendar year shall not exceed
            $100,000, except to the extent of any unused carryover amount as
            permitted under Section 422A(b) (8) and Section 422A(c) (4) of the
            Code.

            In addition to any other limitations or conditions that may be
            established by the Board with respect to an Incentive Stock Option
            granted under the Plan, no Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant
            to the Plan, no Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan
            to any employee then owning more than 10% of the voting power of all
            classes of the Company's stock may be exercised by its terms after
            the expiration of five years from the date of the grant thereof, nor
            may an Incentive Stock Option that may be granted to an Optionee be
            the Company under this Plan or any other stock option plan of the
            Company ( or of any corporation that is a parent or subsidiary of
            the Company or a predecessor corporation of any of the foregoing) is
            "outstanding" within the meaning of Section 422A(c) (7) of the Code.
            Until certificates for the shares acquired upon the exercise of an
            Option are issued to a Participant, such Participant shall not have
            any rights of a shareholder.

6.3 RESTRICTED STOCK. The Board has the authority to grant Awards of Restricted
Stock to Participants with the following terms and conditions and with such
additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan
as the Board shall determine:

      (a)   Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to such
            restrictions as the Board may impose, including and without
            limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a share of
            Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right
            or property with respect thereto, which restrictions may lapse
            separately or in combination at such time or times, in such
            installments or otherwise as the Board may deem appropriate.

      (b)   Stock Certificates. Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan
            shall be evidenced by issuance of a stock certificate or
            certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the
            Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the
            name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend
            referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to
            such Restricted Stock.

<PAGE>

      (c)   Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, upon
            termination of employment during the applicable restriction period,
            all shares of Restricted Stock at such time subject to restrictions
            shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company. However, the Board
            may, when it determines a waiver of the restrictions may be in the
            best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all
            of the remaining restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock, at
            the sole discretion of the Board.

      (d)   Delivery of Shares. Any share representing Restricted Stock that is
            no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the holder
            promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived.

7.    AWARD AGREEMENTS

      Upon the grant of an Award under the Plan, the Participant shall enter
into an agreement with the Company setting forth the terms and conditions under
which the Award is so granted pursuant to the Plan and containing such other
terms with respect to the Award as the Board in its sole discretion may
determine.

8.    INVESTMENT PURPOSES

      Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is in
effect with respect to Stock to be purchased or Awards to be granted under the
Plan, the Company shall require that a Participant agree with and represent to
the Company in writing that he or she is acquiring such shares of Stock for the
purpose of investment and with no present intention to transfer, sell or
otherwise dispose of such shares of stock other than by transfers which may
occur by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No shares of Stock may be
transferred unless, in the opinion of counsel to Company, such transfer shall at
such time be in compliance with applicable securities laws. In addition, unless
a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is in effect with
respect to the Stock to be purchased under the Plan, each certificate
representing any shares of Stock issued to a Participant hereunder shall have
the endorsed thereon legends in substantially the following form:

      "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED (THE "ACT) AND WITHOUT
REGISTRATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, IN RELIANCE UPON
EXEMPTION(S) CONTAINED THEREIN. NO TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES OR ANY INTEREST
THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS UNDER
SAID LAWS UNLESS THE CORPORATION HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL
SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION DOES NOT REQUIRE
REGISTRATION UNDER SAID LAWS AND, FOR ANY SALES UNDER RULE 144 OR THE ACT, SUCH
EVIDENCE AS IT SHALL REQUEST FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THAT RULE, OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS."

<PAGE>

9.    TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

      No Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant
      (whether by sale, assignment, hypothecation or otherwise) other than by
      will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any Option granted under the
      Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the
      Participant.

10.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

      10.1 GENERALLY.Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, if the
employment of a Participant with the Company should be terminated (hereinafter
"Termination of Employment"), other than by death or Disability (as hereinafter
defined) the Participant may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date of
the Participant's Termination of Employment, exercise an Option granted under
the Plan, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the
Option at the Date of Termination of Employment and only if the term of the
Option has not expired. The exercise of an Option under this Section shall
deemed to have occurred one (1) day prior to the date of Termination of
Employment. All shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Participant in which any
restrictions have not lapsed at the Date of Termination shall be forfeited.

      10.2 DEATH OR DISABILITY OF PARTICIPANT. In the event of death or
Disability of a Participant prior to the expiration of an Option held by him or
her:

      10.2.1 If the Participant is at the time of his or her death or Disability
      employed by the Company and has been in continuous employment (as
      determined by the Board in its sole discretion) since the date of the
      Grant of the Option, then the Option may be exercised: (i) in the case of
      Disability, by the Participant within ninety (90) days following the date
      of such Disability, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to
      exercise such Option at the time of his or her Disability; or (ii) in the
      case of death, by the Participant's estate, or by a person who acquired
      the right to exercise the Option by will or the laws of descent or
      distribution within ninety (90) days from the date of the Participant's
      death, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the
      Option at the time of death. For the purpose of this Section, the term
      "Disability" shall have meaning given to it in Section 105 (d) (4) of the
      Code. The Disability of a Participant within the meaning of Section 105(d)
      (4) shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion.

            10.2.2 If the Participant dies within ninety (90) days after the
      Termination of Employment, the option may be exercised at any time within
      six months following the date of death, by the Participant's estate or by
      a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by will or the laws
      of descent or distribution but only to the extent the Participant was
      entitled to exercise the Option at the time of Termination of Employment.

<PAGE>

      10.3 CANCELLATION OF AWARDS. If the employment of a Participant is
terminated by the Company for cause, or if a Participant enters into competition
with or becomes employed by a competitor of the Company, or if the Participant
otherwise conducts himself or herself in a manner which the Board determines
detrimental to the Company, then the Board shall have the right to cancel any
Option granted or other Award not fully vested under the Plan.

      10.4 AGREEMENT NOT TO INDUCE. If a Participant enters into competition
with or becomes employed by a competitor of the company, the Participant agrees
not to induce or attempt to induce, either directly or indirectly, any present
Company employee to discontinue such employee's employment with the Company. The
Participant further agrees not to induce or attempt to induce, either directly
or indirectly, any present Company customer to discontinue the purchase of
product or service from the Company.

      10.5 COMPROMISE OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The Board, without approval by
the Shareholders of the Company, reserves the right at any time to enact terms
and conditions to the Award covenants which would protect proprietary company
information and prohibit Participants from obtaining employment with competing
or conflicting organizations.

11.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

      11.1 The Board, without approval by the shareholders of the Company, may
at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in
part or amend it from time to time in such respects as may be in the best
interests of the Company, provided, however, that no such amendment shall be
made without approval of the shareholders which would: a) materially modify the
eligibility requirements for Awards; (b) increase the total number of shares of
Stock which may be issued pursuant to Awards, except in accordance with Section
4.2 of the Plan; (c) reduce the minimum option price per share; (4) extend the
period of granting awards; or (e) materially increase in any other way the
benefits accruing to Participants.

      11.2 No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall, without
the Participant's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations
under any Award theretofore granted to him or her under the Plan.

      11.3 The board may amend the Plan, subject to the limitation cited above,
in such manner an Award under the Plan, and the grant of an Award under the Plan
shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued
employment with the Company. The Company further expressly reserves the right at
any time to dismiss a Participant with or without cause, free from any
liability, or claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award
agreement.

<PAGE>

12.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

      12.1 RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT: No person shall have any claim or
right to be granted an Award under the Plan, and the grant of an Award under the
Plan shall not be construed as giving the Participant the right to continued
employment with the Company. The Company further expressly reserves the right at
any time to dismiss a Participant with or without cause, free from any
liability, or claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award
agreement.

      12.2 WITHHOLDING TAXES: The Company shall have the right to require a
payment from a Participant to cover applicable withholding for income and
employment taxes in the event of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Upon the exercise of a NQSQ requiring tax withholding, a Participant may make a
written election to have shares of Stock withheld by the Company from the shares
otherwise to be received. The number of shares so withheld shall have an
aggregate fair market value on the date of the exercise sufficient to satisfy
the applicable withholding taxes. The acceptance of any such election by a
Participant shall be at the sole discretion of the Board.

      12.3 GOVERNING LAW: The Plan shall be administered in the State of
Minnesota, and the validity, construction, interpretation, and administration
and all rights relating to the Plan shall be determined soled in accordance with
the laws of such state.

13.   SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATES

      The effective date of the Plan shall be December 31, 1998. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Plan and any Award granted hereunder are contingent upon the
approval of this Plan by the shareholders of the Company not later than July 31,
1999. No award may be granted after December 31, 2008, provided, however, that
the Plan and all outstanding Awards shall remain in effect until such awards
have expired or are canceled. If the shareholders of the Company shall not so
approve the Plan, the Plan and all Awards hereunder shall not be effective, and
any and all actions taken by the Board prior thereto shall be null and void or
shall, if necessary, be deemed to have been fully rescinded.EXHIBIT 10.3
