     2. LINE OF CREDIT

     2.1 Advances.  With respect to all Advances  under the Line of Credit Loan,
the  Borrower  shall  give an  authorized  commercial  loan  officer of the Bank
written notice  deliverable by telecopier of each Advance it requests  hereunder
at least one (1)  Business  Day prior to the date on which it desires the funds,
specifying the amount (which amount shall be in even multiples of $10,000.00 and
up to a maximum of the Borrowing Limit in aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding) and date of such proposed Advance, and the Bank shall be authorized
to make  Advances  hereunder  upon such  instructions  from the Chief  Executive
Officer,  Chief Financial Officer, or President of Borrower. The Bank shall make
the Advance by crediting the amount thereof on the date requested in immediately
available funds to any of the regular deposit  accounts of the Borrower with the
Bank or in such other manner as the Borrower shall request in writing.

     2.2 Interest.  Interest on the  principal  balance of Advances from time to
time outstanding hereunder shall be calculated with respect to each Advance made
to the  Borrower  by the Bank at an annual  rate  equal to the Prime  Rate as in
effect on each day (the "Line of Credit  Loan Rate") and such  interest  will be
due and  payable to the Bank on the first  Business  Day of each month after the
date hereof in  accordance  with Section 2.4 hereof.  Unless waived by the Bank,
any amount of principal  (and interest to the extent  permitted by law) which is
not paid  within  fifteen  (15) days after the same  becomes  due shall,  to the
extent  permitted by law, be subject to a late charge of five percent (5.00%) of
the monthly  payment.  The unpaid  principal  balance shall bear interest  after
maturity  (including  any  accelerated  maturity  date) at a rate  equal to five
percent  (5.00%) in excess of the Line of Credit  Loan Rate as in effect on each
day.  Interest  hereunder  shall be computed daily by multiplying the product of
the principal balance outstanding  hereunder and the interest rate in effect for
the period in question by a fraction,  the  numerator  of which is the number of
days during such period and the denominator of which is 360.

     2.3. Line of Credit Note.  The obligation of Borrower to repay all Advances
made by the Bank under the Line of Credit Note pursuant to this Agreement shall,
except for any amounts in excess of the  Borrowing  Limit,  be  evidenced by the

                                       5
<PAGE>

Line of Credit Note of Borrower in the maximum principal amount of $6,000,000.00
payable  to  the  order  of  the  Bank   including  all  renewals,   extensions,
modifications,  consolidations  and amendments thereto in substantially the form
of Exhibit 1.19.

     The Line of Credit Note shall  evidence the  obligations of Borrower to pay
the  Advances  owed to the Bank from time to time  evidenced by the Loan Account
plus interest thereon as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof.  Prior to any transfer
of the Line of Credit Note, the Bank shall make a notation thereon of the amount
of  principal  outstanding  thereunder  and the date to which  interest has been
paid.  The  Borrower  may from time to time borrow,  repay  without  penalty and
reborrow,  subject to the terms and  conditions  hereof,  all  amounts  borrowed
hereunder as evidenced by the Line of Credit Note.

     2.4  Payments.  (a) The Bank will  maintain a Loan Account  (which  account
shall  be  established  in  conformity  with  the  Bank's  usual  and  customary
practices)  showing the date and amount of each Advance under the Line of Credit
Loan,  as well as the date and amount of each payment of principal  and interest
by the Borrower with respect  thereto.  Prior to the end of each month, the Bank
will render to the Borrower a statement of the Borrower's  Loan Account with the
Bank hereunder, which shall constitute an account stated, showing the debits, if
any,  and credits to the Loan Account and the balance in the Loan  Account.  The
Borrower  agrees to promptly  review each such  statement and notify the Bank in
writing of any discrepancy  contained therein.  The statement will also show the
interest  payment due on the next payment date,  calculated by assuming that the
applicable rate will not change through the end of such month.

          (b) Absent an earlier  demand as a result of the  acceleration  of the
Obligations  pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof,  on the first  Business Day of each
month,  the Bank shall debit one or more of the regular deposit  accounts of the
Borrower  with the Bank in an  aggregate  amount equal to the amount of interest
payable  on such  date as  shown  on the  statement  prepared  by the  Bank  and
delivered to the Borrower.  In the event that the aggregate  amount of all funds
in such  accounts  of the  Borrower  is  insufficient  to pay the amount of such
interest,  the Bank will  notify  Borrower  of such  deficiency  after which the
Borrower  will  forthwith  pay to the Bank in  immediately  available  funds the
amount of the deficiency.

          (c) In the event  that  amounts  outstanding  under the Line of Credit
Loan shall exceed the Borrowing Limit, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to
the Bank the difference between the Borrowing Limit and such outstanding amount.
The Bank  shall  have the  right to  debit  one or more of the  regular  deposit
accounts of the  Borrower  with the Bank in an  aggregate  amount  equal to such
difference. In the event that the aggregate amount of all funds in such accounts
of the  Borrower  is  insufficient  to pay the  amount of such  difference,  the
Borrower  will  forthwith  pay to the Bank in  immediately  available  funds the
amount of the deficiency.

          (d) All payments  and/or  proceeds of Collateral  received by the Bank
shall be applied  first to the payment of  interest,  fees,  expenses  and other
charges  then due and unpaid (in such order as the Bank may  determine)  and the
balance,  if any,  to the  unpaid  principal  of the Line of  Credit  Loan.  The
Borrower  hereby  authorizes  the Bank to charge to the Loan  Account  or to any
deposit  account  maintained  by the Borrower with the Bank (i) any taxes (other
than regular income taxes) and filing fees and expenses  incurred by the Bank in
connection with the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement,  (ii) accrued
interest payable under Section 2.2 hereof, (iii) reasonable  attorneys' fees and

                                       6
<PAGE>
expenses under Section 11.9 hereof,  which are properly payable  hereunder,  and
(iv) any amount necessary to reduce the Loan Account to the Borrowing Limit.

          (e) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time prepay,  without
premium or penalty,  all or any part of the outstanding  principal amount of the
Line of Credit Loan evidenced by the Loan Account.  The principal  amount of the
Line of Credit  Loan  evidenced  by the Loan  Account  prepaid  pursuant  to the
provisions  of this Section  2.4(e) may be  reborrowed  from time to time by the
Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

     2.5.  Termination.  The termination date (the  "Termination  Date") of this
Line of  Credit  facility  shall be the  earliest  of (i) the date on which  the
Obligations have been accelerated, at the Bank's option, pursuant to Section 9.2
hereof,  or (ii) July 10, 2001,  unless the Bank shall, in its sole  discretion,
extend the term during which the  Borrower  may request and receive  Advances by
notice  mailed by  registered or certified or first class mail to the address of
the Borrower as specified herein, in which event Borrower's right to request and
receive  Advances  shall so terminate on the date as  extended,  unless  further
extended as herein provided,  which said written extensions and terminations may
continue in like fashion as herein  provided.  The Borrower shall have the right
to terminate the financing  arrangements  hereunder at any time upon thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the Bank. On the Termination Date, all Advances and
other sums charged or to be charged to the Loan Account shall become immediately
due and payable without notice or demand. Notwithstanding termination, until all
Obligations  have been  fully  satisfied,  the Bank shall  retain  its  security
interest in all then existing and thereafter arising Collateral,  and except for
those specific covenants and conditions dealing with the making of Advances, all
terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

     2.6. Facility Fee. Upon execution of this Agreement,  Borrower shall pay to
the Bank a  facility  fee of  $30,000.00  representing  one half of one  percent
(.50%) of the total aggregate amount available under the Line of Credit Loan.

Obligations,  whether hereunder or otherwise,  shall immediately  become due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which
are  hereby  expressly  waived by the  Borrower  and the  Guarantor.  The Bank's
failure to exercise  such option  shall not  constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise it at any other time.

     10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

     10.1. Remedies.  Upon an Event of Default and at any time thereafter during
the  continuance  of such Event of  Default,  the Bank shall have the right,  in
addition to its remedies  under the Uniform  Commercial  Code as in force in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Bank and any officer or agent of the Bank
is hereby constituted and appointed as true and lawful  attorney-in-fact  of the
Borrower with power, exercisable only after an Event of Default has occurred and
is  continuing,  to: (i) notify or require  the  Borrower  to notify any and all
account debtors that the Receivables  have been assigned to the Bank and/or that
the Bank has a security  interest in the  Receivables;  (ii) endorse the name of
the Borrower upon any notes, checks, acceptances,  drafts, money orders or other
instruments of payment (including  payments to Borrower made under any policy of
insurance or any tax refund) or Receivables that may come into possession of the
Bank in full or part  payment  of any amount  owing to the Bank;  (iii) sign and
endorse the name of the Borrower upon any invoice, freight or express bill, bill
of lading,  storage  or  warehouse  receipt,  draft  against an account  debtor,
assignment,  verification  and notice in connection  with any Collateral and any
instrument or document  relating  thereto or to rights of the Borrower  therein;
(iv) send requests for verifications of Receivables to account debtors;  and (v)
sell,  assign,  sue for, collect or compromise payment of all or any part of the
Collateral  in the name of the  Borrower  or in its own name,  or make any other
disposition of Collateral,  or any part thereof,  which  disposition  may be for
cash,  credit or any combination  thereof,  and the Bank may purchase all or any
part of the  Collateral at public or, if permitted by law,  private sale, and in
lieu of actual  payment of such purchase  price,  may set-off the amount of such
price  against  the  Obligations;  the  Borrower  granting  to the Bank,  as the
attorney-in-fact  of the Borrower,  full power of substitution and full power to
do any and all things  necessary  to be done in and about the  premises as fully
and effectually as the Borrower might or could do but for this appointment,  and
hereby ratifying all that said attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof and  consistent  with the provisions  hereof.  Neither the
Bank nor its agents  shall be liable for any acts or  omissions or for any error
of judgment or mistake of fact or law in its  capacity as such  attorney-in-fact
other than for acts of willful  misconduct  or gross  negligence.  This power of
attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable during the term of
this Agreement and so long as any Obligations shall remain outstanding.

     10.2.  Set-off.  The Bank shall have a right to set-off,  without notice to
the Borrower,  any and all deposits or other sums at any time or times  credited
by or due from the Bank to the Borrower.

     10.3.  Remedies  Cumulative.  The  Bank  shall  have  with  respect  to the
Collateral,  in  addition to any other  rights and  remedies  contained  in this
Agreement,  and  any  other  agreements,   guarantees,  notes,  instruments  and
documents,  now or at any time or times  hereafter  executed by the Borrower and
delivered to the Bank,  all of the rights and remedies of a secured  party under
the Uniform  Commercial Code in force in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,  all

                                       20
<PAGE>

of which rights and remedies shall be  cumulative,  and none  exclusive,  to the
extent permitted by law.

     10.4. The Borrower's Waiver. In the event the Bank seeks to take possession
of  any or  all  of  the  Collateral  by  court  process,  the  Borrower  hereby
irrevocably  waives  any  bonds  and any  surety or  security  relating  thereto
required  by any  statute,  court  rule  or  otherwise  as an  incident  to such
possession,  and waives any demand for possession  prior to the  commencement of
any suit or action to recover with respect thereto.

     10.5. Miscellaneous.  Any notice required to be given by the Bank of a sale
or other  disposition or other  intended  action by the Bank with respect to any
disposition  of any of the  Collateral,  or  otherwise,  made to the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement at least ten (10) days prior to such
proposed action,  shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to the Borrower of
any such  action.  The net  proceeds  realized by the Bank upon any such sale or
other  disposition,  after  deduction  of the  expenses  of  retaking,  holding,
preparing for sale,  selling or the like and reasonable  attorneys' fees and any
other expenses incurred by the Bank, shall be applied toward satisfaction of the
Obligations  hereunder.  The Bank shall  account to the Borrower for any surplus
realized  upon such sale or other  disposition  and the  Borrower  shall  remain
liable for any deficiency.  The commencement of any action,  legal or equitable,
shall not affect the security  interest of the Bank in the Collateral  until the
Obligations hereunder or any judgment therefor are fully paid.

     10.6. Insurance.  If the Borrower shall at any time or times hereafter fail
to obtain and maintain any of the policies of insurance  required  under Section
8.3 hereof,  or fail to pay any premium in whole or in part relating to any such
policies,  the Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and/or cause such
insurance  to be  maintained,  including,  at the Bank's  option,  the  coverage
provided by all or any of the  policies of the  Borrower and pay all or any part
of the premium thereunder, without waiving any Event of Default by the Borrower,
and any sums so disbursed  by the Bank shall be  additional  Obligations  of the
Borrower to the Bank payable on demand. Upon the occurrence and the continuation
of an Event of Default,  the Bank shall have the right to settle and  compromise
any and all  claims  affecting  the  Collateral  and  arising  under  any of the
policies required to be maintained by the Borrower hereunder, to demand, receive
and receipt for all monies payable thereunder, and to execute in the name of the
Borrower or the Bank or both any proof of loss,  notice or other  instruments in
connection with such policies or any loss thereunder.

     11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     11.l. No Waiver.  The failure of the Bank at any time or times hereunder to
require strict performance by the Borrower of any of the provisions, warranties,
terms and  conditions  contained in this  Agreement  or in any other  agreement,
guaranty,  note,  instrument  or document now or at any time or times  hereafter
executed by the  Borrower and  delivered to the Bank shall not waive,  affect or
diminish any right of the Bank at any time or times  hereafter to demand  strict
performance thereof; and no rights of the Bank hereunder shall be deemed to have
been  waived  by any act or  knowledge  of the Bank,  its  agents,  officers  or
employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by
an officer of the Bank and  directed to the  Borrower  specifying  such  waiver.
Except to extent expressly set forth in writing, no waiver by the Bank of any of
its  rights  shall  operate as a waiver of any other of its rights or any of its
rights on a future occasion.

mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (ii) within one (1) business
day after delivery to a nationally  recognized  courier service,  in either case
addressed to the Bank at the Bank's Address or to the Borrower at the Borrower's
Address (and if to the Borrower  with a copy to Sherman A. Cohen,  Esq.,  Arnall

Line of Credit  Note  notwithstanding,  in no event shall the amount of interest
payable with respect to the outstanding  principal  balance of the  Obligations,
together  with all other  charges  which are  required to be treated as interest
under  applicable  usury Laws,  exceed the amount of interest  allowable by such
Laws. Any change in the applicable Laws or the maximum rate thereunder  shall be
effective as to the determination of the amount of allowable  interest as of the
effective date of such change.  In the event that any sum is collected in excess
of the applicable  allowable rate, the excess amount  collected shall be applied
to reduce the principal debt.

     11.5. Construction of Agreement.  Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable  Laws;  should any portion of this Agreement be declared  invalid for
any reason in any  jurisdiction,  such declaration shall have no effect upon the
remaining  portions  of  this  Agreement,  furthermore,  the  entirety  of  this
Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in all other jurisdictions and
said  remaining  portions  of this  Agreement  shall  continue in full force and
effect in the subject  jurisdiction  as if this Agreement had been executed with
the invalid portions thereof deleted.

     11.6.  Assignment.  The provisions of this Agreement  shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Bank and the
Borrower,  provided,  however,  the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or
delegate any of its obligations  hereunder  without the prior written consent to
the Bank. The Bank, may from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, sell,
assign,  transfer  or  otherwise  dispose of all or any part of the  Obligations
and/or the  security  therefor.  In such  event,  each and every  immediate  and
successive purchaser,  assignee,  transferee or holder of all or any part of the
Obligations and/or such security shall have the right to enforce this Agreement,
by legal action or otherwise, for its own benefit as fully as if such purchaser,
assignee,  transferee  or holder  were  herein by name  specifically  given such
right.

     11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement is and shall be deemed to be a contract
entered into and made pursuant to the laws of the  Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and shall in all  respects  be  governed,  construed,  applied  and  enforced in
accordance  with  the  Laws of said  State  applicable  to  contracts  executed,
delivered and to be performed therein.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Simione Central Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation,

Central Consulting,  Inc., a Georgia corporation,  each having a principal place
of business  at 6600 Powers  Ferry Road,  Atlanta,  Georgia  30339  (hereinafter

WAINWRIGHT BANK & TRUST COMPANY, a Massachusetts  banking corporation  (together
with any  subsequent  holders of this  Note,  the  "Bank"),  at its office at 63
Franklin  Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts,  02110, or at such other place as the

Loan and Security  Agreement of even date herewith,  together with interest,  in

and Security Agreement, except in the Event of Default (as set forth in the Loan
and Security  Agreement),  in which event all outstanding  principal and accrued
and unpaid  interest  thereon  shall be  immediately  due and payable  after the
expirations of any  applicable  grace periods set forth in the Loan and Security
Agreement.

and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the
Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the granting of ISOs,
Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants, Deferred Shares and Appreciation Rights.

3.    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

      The number of Shares which may be issued from time to time pursuant to
this Plan shall be 15,000,000, or the equivalent of such number of Shares after
the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any
stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar
transaction in accordance with Paragraph 24 of the Plan.

      If an Option ceases to be "outstanding", in whole or in part, or if the
Company shall reacquire any Shares issued pursuant to a Stock Grant or Deferred
Shares, the Shares which were subject to such Option and any Shares so
reacquired by the Company shall be available for the granting of other Stock
Rights under the Plan. Any Option shall be treated as "outstanding" until such
Option is exercised in full, or terminates or expires under the provisions of
the Plan, or by agreement of the parties to the pertinent Agreement. Upon
payment in cash of the benefit provided by any award granted under the Plan, any
Shares that were covered by that award shall again be available for the granting
of Stock Rights under the Plan.

4.    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

      The Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to
the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to the Committee, in
which case the Committee shall be the Administrator. Subject to the provisions
of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:

      a.    Interpret the provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Rights and to
            make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or
            advisable for the administration of the Plan;

      b.    Determine which employees of the Company or of an Affiliate shall
            be designated as Key Employees and which of the Key Employees,
            directors and consultants shall be granted Stock Rights;

      c.    Determine the number of Shares for which a Stock Right or Stock
            Rights shall be granted, provided, however, that in no event shall
            Stock Rights with respect to more than 5,000,000 shares be granted
            to any Participant in any fiscal year; and

      d.    Specify the terms and conditions upon which a Stock Right or Stock
            Rights may be granted;

provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms
and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of preserving the tax
status under Section 422 of the Code of those Options which are designated as
ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the
Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Stock Right granted under
it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the
Administrator is the Committee. The Administrator may correct any defect or
supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any
Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to effectuate
the purposes of the Plan. No member of the Board of Directors, and no officer or
employee of the Company, shall be liable for any act or failure to act
hereunder, by any other member of the Board of Directors or any officer or
employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection with the administration of
the Plan have been delegated or, except in circumstances involving his bad
faith, gross negligence or fraud, for any act or failure to act by the member of
the Board of Directors or any officer or employee.

5.    ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.

      The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in
the Plan, provided, however, that each Participant must be a Key Employee,
director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time a Stock
Right is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may authorize
the grant of a Stock Right to a person not then an employee, director or
consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate; provided, however, that the actual
grant of such Stock Right shall be conditioned upon such person becoming
eligible to become a Participant at or prior to the time of the delivery of the
Agreement evidencing such Stock Right. ISOs may be granted only to Key
Employees. Non-Qualified Options, Stock Grants, Deferred Shares and Appreciation
Rights may be granted to any Key Employee, director or consultant of the Company
or an Affiliate. The granting of any Stock Right to any individual shall neither
entitle that individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any
other grant of Stock Rights.

6.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

      Each Option shall be set forth in writing in an Option Agreement, duly
executed by the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the
Company, by the Participant. The Administrator may provide that Options be
granted subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the terms and
conditions specifically required under this Plan, as the Administrator may deem
appropriate including, without limitation, subsequent approval by the
shareholders of the Company of this Plan or any amendments thereto.

      A.    Non-Qualified Options: Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified
            Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions which the
            Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest
            of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards for any
            such Non-Qualified Option:

            a.    Option Price: Each Option Agreement shall state the option
                  price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option, which
                  option price shall be determined by the Administrator but
                  shall not be less than the par value per share of Common
                  Stock;

            b.    Each Option Agreement shall state the number of Shares to
                  which it pertains;

            c.    Each Option Agreement shall state the date or dates on which
                  it first is exercisable and the date after which it may no
                  longer be exercised, and may provide that the Option rights
                  accrue or become exercisable in installments over a period of
                  months or years, or upon the occurrence of certain conditions
                  or the attainment of stated goals or events; and

            d.    Exercise of any Option may be conditioned upon the
                  Participant's execution of a Share purchase agreement in form
                  satisfactory to the Administrator providing for certain
                  protections for the Company and its other shareholders,
                  including requirements that:

                  i.    The Participant's or the Participant's Survivors' right
                        to sell or transfer the Shares may be restricted; and

                  ii.   The Participant or the Participant's Survivors may be
                        required to execute letters of investment intent and
                        must also acknowledge that the Shares will bear legends
                        noting any applicable restrictions.

      B.    ISOs: Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to a
            Key Employee and be subject to the following terms and conditions,
            with such additional restrictions or changes as the Administrator
            determines are appropriate but not in conflict with Section 422 of
            the Code and relevant regulations and rulings of the Internal
            Revenue Service:

            a.    Minimum standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards
                  required of Non-Qualified Options, as described in Paragraph
                  6(A) above, except clause (a) thereunder.

            b.    Option Price:  Immediately before the Option is granted, if
                  the Participant owns, directly or by reason of the applicable
                  attribution rules in Section 424(d) of the Code:

                  i.    Ten percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting
                        power of all classes of stock of the Company or an
                        Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares
                        covered by each Option shall not be less than one
                        hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per
                        share of the Shares on the date of the grant of the
                        Option.

                  ii.   More than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
                        power of all classes of stock of the Company or an
                        Affiliate, the Option price per share of the Shares
                        covered by each Option shall not be less than one
                        hundred ten percent (110%) of the said Fair Market Value
                        on the date of grant.

            c.    Term of Option:  For Participants who own

                  i.    Ten percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting
                        power of all classes of stock of the Company or an
                        Affiliate, each Option shall terminate not more than ten
                        (10) years from the date of the grant or at such earlier
                        time as the Option Agreement may provide.

                  ii.   More than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
                        power of all classes of stock of the Company or an
                        Affiliate, each Option shall terminate not more than
                        five (5) years from the date of the grant or at such
                        earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide.

            d.    Limitation on Yearly Exercise:  The Option Agreements shall
                  restrict the amount of Options which may be exercisable in
                  any calendar year (under this or any other ISO plan of the
                  Company or an Affiliate) so that the aggregate Fair Market
                  Value (determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the
                  stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the
                  first time by the Participant in any calendar year does not
                  exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), provided that
                  this subparagraph (d) shall have no force or effect if its
                  inclusion in the Plan is not necessary for Options issued as
                  ISOs to qualify as ISOs pursuant to Section 422(d) of the
                  Code.

7.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK GRANTS.

      Each offer of a Stock Grant to a Participant shall state the date prior to
which the Stock Grant must be accepted by the Participant, and the principal
terms of each Stock Grant shall be set forth in an Agreement, duly executed by
the Company and, to the extent required by law or requested by the Company, by
the Participant. The Stock Grant Agreement shall be in a form approved by the
Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator
determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to
the following minimum standards:

      (a)   Each Stock Grant Agreement shall state the purchase price (per
            share), if any, of the Shares covered by each Stock Grant, which
            purchase price shall be determined by the Administrator but shall
            not be less than the minimum consideration required by the Delaware
            General Corporation Law on the date of the grant of the Stock Grant.

      (b)   Each Stock Grant Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which
            the Stock Grant pertains.

      (c)   Each Stock Grant Agreement shall include the terms of any right of
            the Company to restrict or reacquire the Shares subject to the Stock
            Grant, including the time and events upon which such reacquisition
            rights shall accrue and the purchase price therefor, if any.

8.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

      The Administrator may authorize grants to Participants of Appreciation
Rights. An Appreciation Right shall be a right of the Participant to receive
from the Company an amount, which shall be determined by the Administrator and
shall be expressed as a percentage (not exceeding 100%) of the Spread at the
time of the exercise of an Appreciation Right. Each grant shall be evidenced by
an Agreement, duly executed by the Company and to the extent required by law or
requested by the Company, by the Participant which shall be in a form approved
by the Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the
Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the
Company, in accordance with the following provisions:

      (a)   Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of
            an Appreciation Right may be paid by the Company in cash, Shares or
            any combination thereof and may (i) either grant to the Participant
            or reserve to the Administrator the right to elect among those
            alternatives or (ii) preclude the right of the Participant to
            receive and the Company to issue Shares or other equity securities
            in lieu of cash.

      (b)   Any grant may specify that the amount payable upon the exercise of
            an Appreciation Right shall not exceed a maximum specified by the
            Administrator on the date of the grant.

      (c)   Each grant shall specify (i) the period or periods of continuous
            employment, or continuous engagement of the consulting services, of
            the Participant by the Company or any Affiliate that are necessary
            and/or the individual or aggregate performance criteria that must be
            satisfied before the Appreciation Rights or installments thereof
            shall become exercisable and (ii) permissible dates or periods on or
            during which Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable.

      (d)   Any grant may specify that an Appreciation Right may be exercised
            only in the event of a change in control of the Company or other
            similar transaction or event.

      (e)   Any grant may provide for the payment to the Participant of dividend
            equivalents thereon in cash or Shares on a current, deferred or
            contingent basis.

      (f)   Regarding Tandem Appreciation Rights only: Each grant shall provide
            that a Tandem Appreciation Right may be exercised only (i) at a time
            when the related Option (or any similar right granted under any
            other plan of the Company) is also exercisable and the Spread is
            positive and (ii) by surrender of the related Option (or such other
            right) for cancellation.

      (g)   Regarding Free-standing Appreciation Rights only:

                  (i) Each grant shall specify in respect of each Free-standing
            Appreciation Right a Base Price per Share, which shall be equal to
            or greater than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the
            grant;

                  (ii) Successive grants may be made to the same Participant
            regardless of whether any Free-standing Appreciation Rights
            previously granted to the Participant remain unexercised; and

                  (iii) No Free-standing Appreciation Right granted under the
            Plan may be exercised more than 10 years from the date of the grant.

9.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DEFERRED SHARES.

      The Administrator may authorize grants or sales of Deferred Shares to
Participants which grants or sales shall be evidenced by an Agreement, duly
executed by the Company and to the extent required by law or requested by the
Company, by the Participant which shall be in a form approved by the
Administrator and shall contain terms and conditions which the Administrator
determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, in
accordance with the following provisions:

      (a)   Each grant or sale shall constitute the agreement by the Company to
            issue or transfer Shares to the Participant in the future in
            consideration of the performance of services, subject to the
            fulfillment during the Deferral Period of such conditions as the
            Administrator may specify.

      (b)   Each Deferred Share Agreement shall state the number of Shares to
            which the Deferred Share grant or sale pertains.

      (c)   Each grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from
            the Participant or in consideration of a payment by the Participant
            that may be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
            the grant.

      (d)   Each grant or sale shall provide that the Deferred Shares covered
            thereby shall be subject to a Deferral Period, which shall be fixed
            by the Administrator on the date of the grant, and any grant or sale
            may provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period in
            the event of a change in control of the Company or other similar
            transaction or event.

      (e)   During the Deferral Period, unless otherwise determined by the
            Administrator, the Participant shall not have any right to transfer
            any rights under the subject award, shall not have any rights of
            ownership in the Deferred Shares and shall not have any right to
            vote the Deferred Shares, but the Administrator may on or after the
            date of the grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on
            the Deferred Shares in cash or additional Shares on a current,
            deferred or contingent basis.

10.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND ISSUE OF SHARES.

      An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by
giving written notice to the Company at its principal executive office address,
together with provision for payment of the full purchase price in accordance
with this Paragraph for the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised,
and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth in the Option
Agreement. Such written notice shall be signed by the person exercising the
Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is
being exercised and shall contain any representation required by the Plan or the
Option Agreement. Payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such
Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or
by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of
shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as of the date of the
exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, or (c) at the discretion of
the Administrator, by having the Company retain from the shares otherwise
issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of shares having a Fair Market
Value equal as of the date of exercise to the exercise price of the Option, or
(d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee's
personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no
less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of
the Code, or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a
cashless exercise program established with a securities brokerage firm, and
approved by the Administrator, or (f) at the discretion of the Administrator, by
any combination of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment on exercise of an
ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.

      The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which
such Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant's Survivors,
as the case may be). In determining what constitutes "reasonably promptly," it
is expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be
delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including,
without limitation, state securities or "blue sky" laws) which requires the
Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance.
The Shares shall, upon delivery, be evidenced by an appropriate certificate or
certificates for fully paid, non-assessable Shares.

      The Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise
of any installment of any Option; provided that the Administrator shall not
accelerate the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to any Key
Employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option
pursuant to Paragraph 27) if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting
limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Paragraph
6.B.d.

The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of an
outstanding Option provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted
by the Plan, (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of the
Participant to whom the Option was granted, or in the event of the death of the
Participant, the Participant's Survivors, if the amendment is adverse to the
Participant, and (iii) any such amendment of any ISO shall be made only after
the Administrator, after consulting the counsel for the Company, determines
whether such amendment would constitute a "modification" of any Option which is
an ISO (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause
any adverse tax consequences for the holder of such ISO.

11.   ACCEPTANCE OF STOCK GRANTS, APPRECIATION RIGHTS, DEFERRED SHARES AND
      ISSUE OF SHARES.

      A Stock Grant, Appreciation Right, or Deferred Share grant (or any part or
installment thereof) shall be accepted by executing the applicable Agreement and
delivering it to the Company at its principal office address, together with
provision for payment of the full purchase price, if any, in accordance with
this Paragraph for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant, Appreciation Right
or Deferred Share grant is being accepted, and upon compliance with any other
conditions set forth in the applicable Agreement. Payment of the purchase price
for the Shares as to which such Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or Deferred
Share grant, if any, is being accepted shall be made (a) in United States
dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator,
through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal as
of the date of acceptance of the Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or Deferred
Share grant to the purchase price of the Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or
Deferred Share grant or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery
of the grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than
annually at no less than 100% of the applicable Federal rate, as defined in
Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, by
any combination of (a), (b) and (c) above.

      The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares, if
applicable, as to which such Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or Deferred Share
grant was accepted to the Participant (or to the Participant's Survivors, as the
case may be), subject to any escrow provision set forth in the applicable
Agreement. In determining what constitutes "reasonably promptly," it is
expressly understood that the issuance and delivery of the Shares may be delayed
by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation (including, without
limitation, state securities or "blue sky" laws) which requires the Company to
take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance.

      The Administrator may, in its discretion, amend any term or condition of
an outstanding Stock Grant, Appreciation Right, Deferred Share grant or
applicable Agreement provided (i) such term or condition as amended is permitted
by the Plan, and (ii) any such amendment shall be made only with the consent of
the Participant to whom the Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or Deferred Share
grant was made, if the amendment is adverse to the Participant.

12.   RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.

      No Participant to whom a Stock Right has been granted shall have rights as
a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Stock Right, except
after due exercise of the Option or acceptance of the Stock Grant or Deferred
Share grant and tender of the full purchase price, if any, for the Shares being
purchased pursuant to such exercise or acceptance and registration of the Shares
in the Company's share register in the name of the Participant.

13.   ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK RIGHTS.

      By its terms, a Stock Right granted to a Participant shall not be
transferable by the Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Administrator and set
forth in the applicable Agreement. The designation of a beneficiary of a Stock
Right by a Participant, with the prior approval of the Administrator and in such
form as the Administrator shall prescribe, shall not be deemed a transfer
prohibited by this Paragraph. Except as provided above, a Stock Right shall only
be exercisable or may only be accepted, during the Participant's lifetime, by
such Participant (or by his or her legal representative) and shall not be
assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition
of any Stock Right or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the
provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon a
Stock Right, shall be null and void.

14.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN "FOR CAUSE" OR
      DEATH OR DISABILITY.

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement in the
event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or
consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has
exercised an Option, the following rules apply:

      a.    A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant
            of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than
            termination "for cause", Disability, or death for which events
            there are special rules in Paragraphs 15, 16, and 17,
            respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the
            extent that the Option is exercisable on the date of such
            termination of service, but only within the period ending sixty
            (60) days after the termination of employment, directorship or
            consultancy, as the case may be, unless otherwise determined by
            the Administrator or set forth  in the pertinent Option Agreement.

      b.    Except as provided in Subparagraph (c) below, or Paragraph 16 or 17,
            in no event may an Option Agreement provide, if an Option is
            intended to be an ISO, that the time for exercise be later than
            three (3) months after the Participant's termination of employment.

      c.    The provisions of this Paragraph, and not the provisions of
            Paragraph 16 or 17, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently
            becomes Disabled or dies after the termination of employment,
            director status or consultancy.

      d.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a
            Participant's termination of employment, termination of director
            status or termination of consultancy, but prior to the exercise of
            an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or
            subsequent to the Participant's termination, the Participant
            engaged in conduct which would constitute "cause", then such
            Participant shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any
            Option.

      e.    A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who
            is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because
            of temporary disability (any disability other than a permanent and
            total Disability as defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on
            leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of
            any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to
            have terminated such Participant's employment, director status or
            consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the
            Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.

      f.    Except as required by law or as set forth in the pertinent Option
            Agreement, Options granted under the Plan shall not be affected by
            any change of a Participant's status within or among the Company and
            any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues to be an
            employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.

15.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE "FOR CAUSE".

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, the
following rules apply if the Participant's service (whether as an employee,
director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated "for
cause" prior to the time that all his or her outstanding Options have been
exercised:

      a.    All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the time the
            Participant is notified his or her service is terminated "for cause"
            will immediately be forfeited.

      b.    For purposes of this Plan, "cause" shall include (and is not
            limited to) dishonesty with respect to the Company or any
            Affiliate, insubordination, substantial malfeasance or non-feasance
            of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and
            conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or
            any Affiliate.  The determination of the Administrator as to the
            existence of "cause" will be conclusive on the Participant and the
            Company.

      c.    "Cause" is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a
            Participant's termination of service, nor is it necessary that the
            Administrator's finding of "cause" occur prior to termination.  If
            the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant's
            termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that
            either prior or subsequent to the Participant's termination the
            Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute "cause", then
            the right to exercise any Option is forfeited.

      d.    Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the
            Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of
            "cause" for termination and which is in effect at the time of such
            termination, shall not supersede the definition in this Plan with
            respect to such Participant, and the definition in this Plan shall
            apply except as otherwise determined by the Administrator.

16.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement or as
determined by the Administrator, a Participant who ceases to be an employee,
director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability
may exercise any Option granted to such Participant to the extent exercisable
but not exercised on the date of Disability and without any proration for
vesting periods during which the Disability occurs.

            Unless otherwise set forth in the pertinent Option Agreement or
determined by the Administrator, a Disabled Participant may exercise such rights
only within the period ending sixty (60) days after the date of the
Participant's termination of employment, directorship or consultancy, as the
case may be, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to
exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if the
Participant had not become disabled and had continued to be an employee,
director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of
the Option. In no event may an Option Agreement provide, if an Option is
intended to be an ISO, that the time for exercise be later than one year after
the date of the Disability.

      The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability
has occurred and the date of its occurrence (regardless of any procedure for
such determination set forth in another agreement between the Company and such
Participant). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician
selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall
be paid for by the Company.

17.   EFFECT ON OPTIONS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, or as
determined by the Administrator, in the event of the death of a Participant
while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or
of an Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant's Survivors to
the extent exercisable but not exercised on the date of death and without any
proration for vesting periods during which the death occurs.

      Unless otherwise set forth in the pertinent Option Agreement or determined
by the Administrator, if the Participant's Survivors wish to exercise the
Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within sixty
(60) days after the date of death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the
decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the
Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an
employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally
prescribed term of the Option.

18.   EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE ON STOCK GRANTS, APPRECIATION RIGHTS AND
      DEFERRED SHARES.

      In the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director
or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason before the
Participant has accepted a Stock Grant, Appreciation Right or Deferred Shares
such offer shall terminate.

      For purposes of this Paragraph 18, a Participant to whom a Stock Grant,
Appreciation Right or Deferred Shares has been offered under the Plan who is
absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary
disability (any disability other than a permanent and total Disability as
defined in Paragraph 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose,
shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such
absence alone, to have terminated such Participant's employment, director status
or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the
Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.

      In addition, for purposes of this Paragraph 18, any change of employment
or other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates shall not be
treated as a termination of employment, director status or consultancy so long
as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the
Company or any Affiliate.

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Stock Grant Agreement, in
the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or
consultant), other than termination "for cause," Disability, or death for which
events there are special rules in Paragraphs 19, 20, and 21, respectively,
before all Company rights of repurchase shall have lapsed, then the Company
shall have the right to repurchase that number of Shares subject to a Stock
Grant as to which the Company's repurchase rights have not lapsed.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provisions in the Agreement
evidencing a grant of Appreciation Rights consistent with Paragraph 8 hereof
with respect to the termination of a grant of Appreciation Rights, in the event
of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant),
other than termination "for cause," Disability, or death for which events there
are special rules in Paragraphs 19, 20, and 21.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provisions in the Agreement
evidencing a grant or sale of Deferred Shares consistent with Paragraph 9 hereof
with respect to the termination of such grant or offer to purchase Deferred
Shares, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee,
director or consultant), other than termination "for cause," Disability, or
death for which events there are special rules in Paragraphs 19, 20, and 21.

19.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS, APPRECIATION RIGHTS AND DEFERRED SHARES OF
      TERMINATION OF SERVICE "FOR CAUSE".

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Agreement, the following
rules apply if the Participant's service (whether as an employee, director or
consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated "for cause":

      a.    All Shares subject to any Stock Grant or Deferred Share grant which
            have been issued to the participant shall be immediately subject to
            repurchase by the Company at the purchase price, if any, thereof.
            Any outstanding Stock Grant Agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights
            Agreement or Deferred Shares Agreement shall immediately expire.

      b.    For purposes of this Plan, "cause" shall include (and is not
            limited to) dishonesty with respect to the employer,
            insubordination, substantial malfeasance or non-feasance of duty,
            unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and conduct
            substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any
            Affiliate.  The determination of the Administrator as to the
            existence of "cause" will be conclusive on the Participant and the
            Company.

      c.    "Cause" is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a
            Participant's termination of service, nor is it necessary that the
            Administrator's finding of "cause" occur prior to termination.  If
            the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant's
            termination of service, that either prior or subsequent to the
            Participant's termination the Participant engaged in conduct which
            would constitute "cause," then the Company's right to repurchase
            all of such Participant's Shares shall apply.

      d.    Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the
            Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of
            "cause" for termination and which is in effect at the time of such
            termination, shall not supersede the definition in this Plan with
            respect to such Participant, and the definition in this Plan shall
            apply unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

20.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY.

Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Stock Grant Agreement, the
following rules apply if a Participant ceases to be an employee, director or
consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability: to the
extent the Company's rights of repurchase have not lapsed on the date of
Disability, they shall be exercisable without any proration for any vesting
during the period in which the Disability occurs

      The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability
has occurred and the date of its occurrence (provided that any procedure for
such determination set forth in another agreement between the Company and such
Participant shall not be used for such determination). If requested, the
Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the
Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provision in the Agreement
evidencing a grant of Appreciation Rights consistent with Paragraph 8 hereof
with respect to the termination of a grant of Appreciation Rights in the event
of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) by
reason of a Disability.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provision in the Agreement
evidencing a grant or sale of Deferred Shares consistent with Paragraph 9 hereof
with respect to the termination of such grant or offer to purchase Deferred
Shares in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee,
director or consultant) by reason of a Disability.

21.   EFFECT ON STOCK GRANTS OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.

      Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Stock Grant Agreement, the
following rules apply in the event of the death of a Participant while the
Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an
Affiliate: to the extent the Company's rights of repurchase have not lapsed on
the date of death, they shall be exercisable without any proration for any
vesting during the period in which the death occurs.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provision in the Agreement
evidencing a grant of Appreciation Rights consistent with Paragraph 8 hereof in
the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee,
director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate.

      The Administrator shall make appropriate provision in the Agreement
evidencing a grant or sale of Deferred Shares consistent with Paragraph 9 hereof
in the event of the death of a Participant while the Participant is an employee,
director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate.

22.   PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.

      Unless the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the
particular exercise or acceptance of a Stock Right shall have been effectively
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter
amended (the "1933 Act"), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the
Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the following conditions have
been fulfilled:

      a.    The person(s) who exercise(s) or accept(s) such Stock Right shall
            warrant to the Company, prior to the receipt of such Shares, that
            such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective
            accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in
            connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which
            event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the
            provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the
            certificate(s) evidencing their Shares issued pursuant to such
            exercise or such grant:

                  "The shares represented by this certificate have been taken
                  for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise
                  transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1)
                  either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such
                  shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as
                  amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of
                  counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration
                  under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have
                  been compliance with all applicable state securities laws."

      b.    At the discretion of the Administrator, the Company shall have
            received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued
            upon such particular exercise or acceptance in compliance with the
            1933 Act without registration thereunder.

23.   DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.

      Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted
under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been exercised and all
Stock Grants, Appreciation Rights and Deferred Shares which have not been
accepted will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the
rights of a Participant or a Participant's Survivors have not otherwise
terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant's Survivors will have
the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise or
accept any Stock Right to the extent that the Stock Right is exercisable or
subject to acceptance as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any outstanding
Appreciation Rights or grant or offer to purchase Deferred Shares shall
immediately lapse unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

24.   ADJUSTMENTS.

      Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant's rights
with respect to any Stock Right granted to him or her hereunder shall be
adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the
pertinent Agreement:

      A. Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the shares of Common Stock
shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if
the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its
outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares
or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with
respect to such shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon the exercise or acceptance of such Stock Right may be
appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate
adjustments may be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such events.
The number of Shares subject to the limitation in Paragraph 4(c) shall also be
proportionately adjusted upon the occurrence of such events.

      B. Consolidations or Mergers. If the Company is to be consolidated with or
acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or otherwise (an "Acquisition"), the Administrator, or the
board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company
hereunder (the "Successor Board"), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i)
make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting
on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the
consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in
connection with the Acquisition or securities of any successor or acquiring
entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all
Options must be exercised (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the
discretion of the Administrator, all Options being made fully exercisable for
purposes of this Subparagraph) at the end of which period the Options shall
terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal
to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Options
(either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the
Administrator, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this
Subparagraph) over the exercise price thereof.

      With respect to outstanding Stock Grants, the Administrator or the
Successor Board, shall either (i) make appropriate provisions for the
continuation of such Stock Grants by substituting on an equitable basis for the
Shares then subject to such Stock Grants either the consideration payable with
respect to the outstanding Shares of Common Stock in connection with the
Acquisition or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon
written notice to the Participants, provide that all Stock Grants must be
accepted (to the extent then subject to acceptance) within a specified number of
days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the offer of the
Stock Grants shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Stock Grants in exchange
for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to such Stock Grants over the purchase price thereof, if any. In
addition, in the event of an Acquisition, the Administrator may waive any or all
Company repurchase rights with respect to outstanding Stock Grants.

      C. Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization
or reorganization of the Company (other than a transaction described in
Subparagraph B above) pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another
corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a
Participant upon exercising or accepting a Stock Right shall be entitled to
receive for the purchase price, if any, paid upon such exercise or acceptance
the securities which would have been received if such Stock Right had been
exercised or accepted prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.

      D. Modification of ISOs. Any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph A,
B or C with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the Administrator, after
consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments
would constitute a "modification" of such ISOs (as that term is defined in
Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the
holders of such ISOs. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made
with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification of such ISOs, it may
refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an ISO specifically
requests in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that
the holder has full knowledge of the consequences of such "modification" on his
or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO.

      E. Adjustments to Appreciation Rights and Deferred Shares. Upon the
happening of any of the events described in Subparagraphs A, B or C above, the
Appreciation Rights and Deferred Shares may be appropriately adjusted to reflect
the events described in such Subparagraphs. The Administrator or the Successor
Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this Paragraph
24 and, subject to Paragraph 4, its determination shall be conclusive.

25.   ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES.

      Except as expressly provided herein, 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 or price of shares subject to Stock Rights. Except as
expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in
cash or in property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company
prior to any issuance of Shares pursuant to a Stock Right.

26.   FRACTIONAL SHARES.

      No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the person
exercising a Stock Right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such
fractional shares equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.

27.   CONVERSION OF ISOs INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS; TERMINATION OF ISOs.

      The Administrator, at the written request of any Participant, may in its
discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant's
ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of
conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the expiration of
such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an employee of the Company
or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. Such actions may include, but
not be limited to, extending the exercise period or reducing the exercise price
of the appropriate installments of such Options. At the time of such conversion,
the Administrator (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such
conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the
Administrator in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions
shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to
give any Participant the right to have such Participant's ISOs converted into
Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the
Administrator takes appropriate action. The Administrator, with the consent of
the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been
exercised at the time of such conversion.

28.   WITHHOLDING.

      In the event that any federal, state, or local income taxes, employment
taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("F.I.C.A.") withholdings or other
amounts are required by applicable law or governmental regulation to be withheld
from the Participant's salary, wages or other remuneration in connection with
the exercise or acceptance of a Stock Right or in connection with a
Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Paragraph 29) or upon the lapsing of
any right of repurchase, the Company may withhold from the Participant's
compensation, if any, or may require that the Participant advance in cash to the
Company, or to any Affiliate of the Company which employs or employed the
Participant, the statutory minimum amount of such withholdings unless a
different withholding arrangement, including the use of shares of the Company's
Common Stock or a promissory note, is authorized by the Administrator (and
permitted by law). For purposes hereof, the fair market value of the shares
withheld for purposes of payroll withholding shall be determined in the manner
provided in Paragraph 1 above, as of the most recent practicable date prior to
the date of exercise. If the fair market value of the shares withheld is less
than the amount of payroll withholdings required, the Participant may be
required to advance the difference in cash to the Company or the Affiliate
employer. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an
Option for less than the then Fair Market Value on the Participant's payment of
such additional withholding.

29.   NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION.

      Each Key Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in
writing immediately after the Key Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of
any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying
Disposition is any disposition (including any sale) of such shares before the
later of (a) two years after the date the Key Employee was granted the ISO, or
(b) one year after the date the Key Employee acquired Shares by exercising the
ISO. If the Key Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding
period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur
thereafter.

30.   TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

      The Plan will terminate on October __, 2010, the date which is ten (10)
years from the earlier of the date of its adoption and the date of its approval
by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier
date by vote of the shareholders of the Company; provided, however, that any
such earlier termination shall not affect any Agreements executed prior to the
effective date of such termination.

31.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENTS.

      The Plan may be amended by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan may
also be amended by the Administrator, including, without limitation, to the
extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Stock Rights granted under
the Plan or Stock Rights to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal
income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon exercise) as may be
afforded incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, and to the
extent necessary to qualify the shares issuable upon exercise or acceptance of
any outstanding Stock Rights granted, or Stock Rights to be granted, under the
Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or quotation in any
national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Any amendment
approved by the Administrator which the Administrator determines is of a scope
that requires shareholder approval shall be subject to obtaining such
shareholder approval. Any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not,
without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under a
Stock Right previously granted to him or her. With the consent of the
Participant affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding Agreements in a
manner which may be adverse to the Participant but which is not inconsistent
with the Plan. In the discretion of the Administrator, outstanding Agreements
may be amended by the Administrator in a manner which is not adverse to the
Participant.

32.   EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP.

      NOTHING IN THIS PLAN OR ANY AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO PREVENT THE
COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE FROM TERMINATING THE EMPLOYMENT, CONSULTANCY OR DIRECTOR
STATUS OF A PARTICIPANT, NOR TO PREVENT A PARTICIPANT FROM TERMINATING HIS OR
HER OWN EMPLOYMENT, CONSULTANCY OR DIRECTOR STATUS OR TO GIVE ANY PARTICIPANT A
RIGHT TO BE RETAINED IN EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE BY THE COMPANY OR ANY
AFFILIATE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME.

33.   GOVERNING LAW.

      This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of
the State of Delaware.
