to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it
under the Plan or as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in the

the event of a change in control of the Company); and to determine whether, to
what extent, and under what circumstances an Option may be settled, cancelled,

conditions of, and the criteria and performance objectives (if any) included in,
Options in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company

<PAGE>   4

any then outstanding Option without the prior written consent of the holder
thereof.

              The Committee may appoint a chairperson and a secretary and may
make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem
advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings. All determinations of the
Committee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or
participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. The
Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents
such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any
person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more
persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or
such person may have under the Plan. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons,
including the Company, and any Subsidiary, affiliate thereof or Optionee (or any
person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Optionee) and any
stockholder.

              No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action
taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option
granted made hereunder.

              4.    Eligibility.

              On the Effective Date and subject to the approval of the
stockholders of the Company, each of the individuals listed on Schedule I hereto
(each such individual, an "Initial Optionee") shall be granted an Option (each,
an "Initial Option") to purchase the number of shares of Stock set forth
opposite his name on Schedule I hereto. Following the Effective Date, Options
may be granted to selected employees of or consultants to the Company and its
present or future Subsidiaries and affiliates, in the discretion of the
Committee. In determining the persons (other than the Initial Optionees) to whom
Options shall be granted, the Committee shall take into account such factors as
the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes
of the Plan; provided, however, that no person shall be granted an Incentive
Stock Option unless he or she is an employee of or consultant to the Company or
a Subsidiary at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

              5.    Stock Subject to the Plan.

              The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for the grant of
Options under the Plan shall be 3,500,000, subject to adjustment as provided
herein; provided, however, that the maximum number of allotted shares that any
Optionee may receive during the term of the Plan may not exceed 1,200,000,
subject to adjustment as provided herein. Such shares may, in whole or in part,
be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be
reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or
otherwise. If any shares subject to an Option are forfeited, cancelled,
exchanged or surrendered or if an Option otherwise terminates or expires without
a distribution of shares to the Optionee, the shares of Stock with respect to
such Option shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, cancellation, exchange,
surrender, termination or expiration, again be available for Options under the
Plan.

              In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in
the form of cash, Stock, or other property), recapitalization, Stock split,
reverse split, reorganization, merger,

                                       4

<PAGE>   5
consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or
other similar corporate transaction or event shall occur after the date hereof
which the Committee, in its reasonable discretion, determines affects the Stock
such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the rights of Optionees under the Plan, then the Committee shall
make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate
to any or all of (i) the number and kind of shares of capital stock which may
thereafter be issued upon exercise of Options, (ii) the number and kind of
shares of capital stock issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Options,
and (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any
Option; provided, that, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, such adjustment
shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 424(h) of the Code
(or any successor thereto); and further provided, that no such change or
adjustment shall be made in the event that (x) capital stock is issued by the
Company in exchange for cash or property or pursuant to any employee benefit
plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) of the Company and (y) no change or
adjustment is made for the benefit of holders of the outstanding Stock as a
result thereof.

              6.    Terms of Options.  Options may be granted on such terms as
may be determined by the Committee, provided that such terms and conditions are
consistent with the following:

             (a)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock
purchasable under an Initial Option shall be $16.00; provided, that, in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option, such exercise price shall be not less than the
Fair Market Value of a share on the date of grant of such Option. The exercise
price per share of Stock purchasable under an Option that is not an Initial
Option shall be determined by the Committee.

             (b)    Term of Options. An Option granted under the Plan shall
expire no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option.

              7.    General Provisions.

                    (a)   Compliance with Local and Exchange Requirements. The
Plan, the granting and exercising of Options thereunder, and the other
obligations of the Company under the Plan and any Option Agreement or other
agreement shall be subject to, and the Company shall take all reasonable steps
to comply with, all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be
required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery
of Stock under any Option until completion of such stock exchange listing or
registration or qualification of such Stock or other required action under any
state, federal or foreign law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider
appropriate, and may require any Optionee to make such representations and
furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the
issuance or delivery of Stock in compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations.

                    (b)   Nontransferability of Incentive Stock Options. Options
shall not be transferable by an Optionee except by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Optionee
only by such Optionee or his guardian or legal representative.

<PAGE>   6

                   (c)    No Right to Continued Employment, etc. Nothing in the
Plan or in any Option granted or any Option Agreement or other agreement entered
into pursuant hereto shall be construed as a contract of employment with any
Optionee or confer upon any Optionee the right to continue in the employ of, or
the affiliation with, the Company, any Subsidiary or any affiliate thereof or to
be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such
Option Agreement or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any such Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to terminate
such Optionee's employment or affiliation with the Company.

                   (d)    Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate
thereof is authorized to withhold from any payment relating to an Option under
the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other payment to a
Optionee, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any
transaction involving an Option, and to take such other action as the Committee
may deem advisable to enable the Company and Optionees to satisfy obligations
for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any
Option. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or
other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a
Optionee's tax obligations.

                   (e)    Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may
at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan
in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall affect
adversely any of the rights of any Optionee, without such Optionee's consent,
under any Option previously granted under the Plan.

                   (f)    No Rights to Options; No Stockholder Rights. Except
for the Initial Optionees with respect to the Initial Options, no Optionee shall
have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of Optionees. Except as provided
specifically herein, a Optionee or a transferee of an Option shall have no
rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until
the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares.

                   (g)    No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock
shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Option. The Committee
shall determine whether cash, other Options, or other property shall be issued
or paid in lieu of such fractional shares.

                   (h)    Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made
and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

                   (i)    Effective Date; Plan Termination. The Plan shall take
effect upon the Effective Date, but the Plan shall be subject to the approval of
the holder(s) of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting
securities of the Company entitled to vote, which the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain as soon as practicable after the Effective
Date and which approval must occur within twelve months of the date the Plan is
adopted by the Board. In the absence of such approval, such Options shall be
null and void.

sold pursuant to Options granted under this Plan is 950,000, subject to
adjustment as provided in this Section. In computing the number of Shares
available for grant, any Shares relating to Options which are granted, but which
subsequently lapse, are cancelled or are otherwise not exercised by the final
date for exercise, shall be available for future grants of Options.

         In the event of any stock dividend, split-up, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, combination or exchange of shares of Stock, or the like, as a
result of which shares shall be issued in respect of the outstanding Shares, or
the Shares shall be changed into the same or a different number of the same or
another class of stock, the total number of shares of Stock authorized to be
committed to this Plan, the number of Shares subject to each outstanding Option,
the Option Price applicable to each Option, and/or the consideration to be
received upon exercise of each Option shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Committee. In addition, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, have
authority to provide, in appropriate cases, for (a) acceleration of the Exercise
Date of outstanding Options or (b) the conversion of outstanding Options into
cash or other property to be received in certain of the transactions specified
in this paragraph above upon the completion of the transaction.

         1.3 INTENT. It is the intention of the Company to have the Plan qualify
as an "employee stock purchase plan" under section 423 of the Code. Therefore,
the provisions of the Plan are to be construed to govern participation in a
manner consistent with the requirements of section 423 of the Code.

         1.4 SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. To be effective, this Plan must be approved
by the stockholders of each of the Employers within 12 months after the Plan is
adopted. The approval of stockholders must comply with all applicable provisions
of the corporate charter, bylaws and applicable laws of the jurisdiction
prescribing the method and degree of stockholder approval required for the
issuance of corporate stock or options.

all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in the chain. The term
"subsidiary corporation" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of the
granting of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last corporation
in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined

                                  ARTICLE III

                                   ELIGIBILITY

         3.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Subject to Section 3.2, each Employee of each
Employer is eligible to participate in the Plan for a given Offering Period if,
prior to the Grant Date, he has completed three months of employment for the
Company and/or its Affiliates, he is in the employ of an Employer on the Grant
Date and he completes a subscription form authorizing payroll deductions and
files it with the Employer's benefit office prior to the Grant Date. For
purposes of this Plan, an Employee's employment service with TMWI Texas Retail
L.P. shall be treated as employment service for the Company.

         3.2 LIMITATIONS UPON PARTICIPATION. No Employee shall be granted an
Option to the extent that the Option would:

             (a) cause the Employee to be a Five Percent Owner immediately after
         the grant;

             (b) permit the Employee to purchase Stock under all employee stock
         purchase plans, as defined in section 423 of the Code, of the Company
         and all Affiliates at a rate which exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value
         of the Stock (determined at the time the Option is granted) for each

         of Shares determined under Section 4.1.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                  PARTICIPATION

         4.1 GRANT OF OPTION. Effective as of the Grant Date of each Offering
Period, the Committee shall grant an Option to each Participant which shall be
exercisable on the Exercise Date only through funds accumulated by the Employee
through payroll deductions made during the Offering Period together with any
funds remaining in the Participant's payroll deduction account at the beginning
of the Offering Period. The Option shall be for that number of whole Shares that
may be purchased by the amount in the Participant's payroll deduction account on
the Exercise Date at the Option Price. Except as may be otherwise determined by
the Committee and announced to Employees prior to an Offering Period, the
maximum number of Shares that a Participant may buy under the Plan during an
Offering Period is that number of Shares that could be purchased with $2,500,
assuming that the purchase price of the Shares is equal to 85% of the FMV of the
Shares on the Grant Date.

         4.2 PAYROLL DEDUCTION. For an Employee to participate during a given
Offering Period, he must complete a payroll deduction form and file it with his
Employer no earlier than 60 days prior to the beginning of the Offering Period
and he must be employed by an Employer on the day before the start of the
Offering Period. The payroll deduction form shall permit a Participant to elect
to have withheld from his cash compensation a specified dollar amount each pay
period during the Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall normally begin with
the first pay date of the Offering Period. However, if a Participant files his
subscription agreement with the Employer less than ten calendar days before the
Grant Date, his payroll deductions shall begin with the second pay date during
the Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall continue through the last pay date
prior to the Exercise Date. A Participant may not make additional payments to
his Plan account.

         4.3 PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS CONTINUING. A Participant's payroll deduction
election shall remain in effect for all ensuing Offering Periods until changed
by him by filing an appropriate amended payroll deduction form no earlier than
60 days prior to the commencement of the Offering Period for which it is to be
effective.

         4.4 RIGHT TO STOP PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. A Participant shall have the
right to discontinue payroll deductions by filing a subscription cancellation
form with the Company. The payroll deduction cancellation shall become effective
with the first full payroll period following ten business days after the
Company's receipt of the subscription cancellation agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given cancellation in participation more quickly. With the
exception of a complete discontinuance of payroll deductions, a Participant may
not change his participation rate during an Offering Period.

         4.5 ACCOUNTING FOR FUNDS. As of each payroll deduction period, the
Employer shall cause to be credited to the Participant's payroll deduction
account in a ledger established for that purpose the funds withheld from and
attributable to the Employee's cash compensation for that period. No interest
shall be credited to the Participant's payroll deduction account at any time.

                                      IV-1
<PAGE>   9

The obligation of the Employer to the Participant for this account shall be a
general corporate obligation and shall not be funded through a trust nor secured
by any assets which would cause the Participant to be other than a general
creditor of the Employer.

         4.6 EMPLOYER'S USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by
an Employer may be used by the Employer for any corporate purpose, and the
Employer shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

                                   ARTICLE V

                   IN SERVICE WITHDRAWAL, TERMINATION OR DEATH

         5.1 IN SERVICE WITHDRAWAL. A Participant may, at any time on or before
15 days prior to the Exercise Date, or such other date as shall be selected by
the Committee from time to time, elect to withdraw all or a portion of the funds
and Stock then credited to his Plan account by giving notice in accordance with
the rules established by the Committee. The amount elected to be withdrawn by
the Participant shall be paid to him as soon as administratively feasible. Any
election by a Participant to withdraw all or a portion of his cash balance under
the Plan terminates his right to exercise his Option on the Exercise Date and
his entitlement to elect any further payroll deductions for the then-current
Offering Period. If the Participant wishes to participate in any future Offering
Period, he must file a new payroll deduction election within the time frame
required by the Committee for participation for that Offering Period.

         5.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN DEATH. If a
Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than death prior to
the Exercise Date, the Option granted to the Participant for that Offering
Period shall lapse. The Participant's funds and Stock then credited to his Plan
Account shall be returned to him as soon as administratively feasible.

         5.3 DEATH. If a Participant dies before the Exercise Date, the Option
granted to the Participant for that Offering Period shall lapse. The
Participant's Shares and funds then credited to his Plan account shall be
delivered to his Beneficiary (or to his estate if he has no Beneficiary) as soon
as administratively feasible. If the Participant dies after the Exercise Date
but prior to the delivery of his certificate, the Stock and funds credited to
the Participant's account shall be delivered to his Beneficiary (or to his
estate if he has no Beneficiary). If there is no Beneficiary, the Stock and
funds credited to a Participant's account may be held in the Participant's Plan
account until the representative of the estate has been appointed and provides
such evidence as may be required by the Committee.

                               EXERCISE OF OPTION

         6.1 PURCHASE OF STOCK. Subject to Section 3.2, on the Exercise Date of
each Offering Period, each Participant's payroll deduction account shall be used
to purchase the maximum number of whole shares of Stock that can be purchased at
the Option Price for that Offering Period. Any funds remaining in a
Participant's payroll deduction account after the exercise of his Option for the
Offering Period shall remain in the Participant's account to be used in the
ensuing Offering Period, together with new payroll deductions, if any, for that
Offering Period to exercise the next succeeding Option which is to be exercised.
If in any Offering Period the total number of shares of Stock to be purchased by
all Participants exceeds the number of shares of Stock committed to the Plan,
then each Participant shall be entitled to purchase only his pro rata portion of
the shares of Stock remaining available under the Plan based on the balances in
each Participant's payroll deduction account as of the Exercise Date. No
fractional shares of Stock shall be purchased under this Plan. After the
purchase of all shares of Stock available on the Exercise Date, all Options
granted for the Offering Period to the extent not used are terminated because no
Option shall remain exercisable after one calendar quarter from the date of
Grant.

         6.2 ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK. After the Exercise Date of each Offering
Period, a report shall be given to each Participant stating the amount of his
payroll deduction account, the number of shares of Stock purchased and the
Option Price.

         6.3 ISSUANCE OF SHARES. As soon as administratively feasible after the
end of the Offering Period, the Committee shall advise the appropriate officer
of the Company that the terms of the Plan have been complied with and that it is
appropriate for the officer to cause to be issued the shares of Stock upon which
Options have been exercised under the Plan. The Committee may determine in its
discretion the manner of delivery of the shares of Stock purchased under the
Plan, which may be by electronic account entry into new or existing accounts,
delivery of Stock certificates or any other means as the Committee, in its
discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee may, in its discretion, hold the
Stock certificate for any shares of Stock or cause it to be legended in order to
comply with the securities laws of the applicable jurisdiction.

filled by the Board of Directors from time to time.

         7.2 POWERS. The Committee has the exclusive responsibility for the
general administration of the Plan, and has all powers necessary to accomplish
that purpose, including but not limited to the following rights, powers, and

             (b) to construe all provisions of the Plan;

             (c) to correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
         inconsistency which may appear in the Plan;

             (d) to select, employ, and compensate at any time any consultants,
         accountants, attorneys, and other agents the Committee believes
         necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the Plan;

             (e) to determine all questions relating to eligibility, Fair Market
         Value, Option Price and all other matters relating to benefits or
         Participants' entitlement to benefits;

             (f) to determine all controversies relating to the administration
         of the Plan, including but not limited to any differences of opinion
         arising between an Employer and a Participant, and any questions it
         believes advisable for the proper administration of the Plan; and

             (g) to delegate any clerical or recordation duties of the Committee
         as the Committee believes is advisable to properly administer the Plan.

         7.3 QUORUM AND MAJORITY ACTION. A majority of the Committee constitutes
a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the members
present at any meeting shall decide any question brought before that meeting. In

meeting, of a majority of its members via telephone, computer, fax or any other
media of communication.

<PAGE>   13

Committee in the exercise of any of its powers and authorities under the Plan
shall be final and conclusive as to all parties other than the Company,
including without limitation all Participants and their beneficiaries,
regardless of whether the Committee or one or more of its members may have an
actual or potential conflict of interest with respect to the subject matter of
the action, ruling, or decision. No final action, ruling, or decision of the
Committee shall be subject to de novo review in any judicial proceeding; and no
final action, ruling, or decision of the Committee may be set aside unless it is
held to have been arbitrary and capricious by a final judgment of a court having
jurisdiction with respect to the issue.

of the Plan by an Affiliate shall become a part of this Plan. However, neither
the adoption of this Plan by an Affiliate nor any act performed by it in
relation to this Plan shall create a joint venture or partnership relation
between it and the Company or any other Affiliate.

                      TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         9.1 TERMINATION. The Company may, by action of the Board of Directors,
terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. The Plan shall automatically
terminate upon the purchase by Participants of all shares of Stock committed to
the Plan, unless the number of Shares committed to the Plan is increased by the
Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders of the Company. Upon
termination of the Plan, as soon as administratively feasible there shall be
refunded to each Participant the remaining funds in his payroll deduction
account, and there shall be forwarded to the Participants certificates for all
shares of Stock held under the Plan for the account of Participants. The
termination of this Plan shall not affect the current Options already
outstanding under the Plan to the extent there are Shares committed, unless the
Participants agree.

         9.2 AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors reserves the right to modify,
alter or amend the Plan at any time and from time to time to any extent that it
deems advisable, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
any amendment deemed necessary to ensure compliance of the Plan with section 423
of the Code. The Board of Directors may suspend the operation of the Plan for
any period as it may deem advisable. However, no amendment or suspension shall
operate to reduce any amounts previously allocated to a Participant's payroll
deduction account, to reduce a Participant's rights with respect to shares of
Stock previously purchased and held on his behalf under the Plan nor to affect
the current Option a Participant already has outstanding under the Plan without
the Participant's agreement. Any amendment changing the aggregate number of
shares to be committed to the Plan, the class of employees eligible to receive
Options under the Plan or the description of the group of corporations eligible
to adopt this Plan must have stockholder approval as set forth in Section 1.4.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         10.1 DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

              (a) A Participant may file a written designation of a Beneficiary
         who is to receive any cash and Shares credited to the Participant's
         account under the Plan. If a Participant is married and the designated
         Beneficiary is not the Participant's spouse, written spousal consent
         shall be required for the designation to be effective.

              (b) A Participant may change his designation of a Beneficiary at
         any time by written notice. If a Participant dies when he has not
         validly designated a Beneficiary under the Plan, the Company shall
         deliver such Shares and cash to the executor or administrator of the
         estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has
         been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its
         discretion, may deliver such Shares and cash to the spouse or to any
         one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no
         spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such
         other person as the Company may designate.

         10.2 PLAN NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. The adoption and maintenance of
this Plan is not a contract between any Employer and its Employees which gives
any Employee the right to be retained in its employment. Likewise, it is not
intended to interfere with the rights of any Employer to discharge any Employee
at any time or to interfere with the Employee's right to terminate his
employment at any time.

         10.3 ALL PARTICIPANTS' RIGHTS ARE EQUAL. All Participants will have the
same rights and privileges under this Plan as required by section 423 of the
Code and Department of Treasury Regulation section 1.423-2(f).

         10.4 OPTIONS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE. No Option granted a Participant
under this Plan is transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and must be exercisable, during his lifetime,
only by him. In the event any Participant attempts to violate the terms of this
Section, any Option held by the Participant shall be terminated by the Company
and, upon return to the Participant of the remaining funds in his payroll
deduction account, all of his rights under the Plan will terminate.

         10.5 VOTING OF STOCK. Shares of Stock held under the Plan for the
account of each Participant shall be voted by the holder of record of those
Shares in accordance with the Participant's instructions.

         10.6 NO RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDER. No eligible Employee or Participant
shall by reason of participation in the Plan have any rights of a stockholder of
the Company until he acquires Shares of Stock as provided in this Plan.

shares of Stock under this Plan is subject to the approval of all governmental
authorities required in connection with the authorization, purchase, issuance or
sale of that Stock.

         10.8 NOTICES. All notices and other communication in connection with
the Plan shall be in the form specified by the Committee and shall be deemed to
have been duly given when sent to the Participant at his last known address or
to his designated personal representative or beneficiary, or to the Employer or
its designated representative, as the case may be.

         10.9 INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE. In addition to all other rights of
indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the Committee,
