7. Patents, Copyrights and Intellectual Property

     A) The Executive shall promptly disclose to the Company all Inventions.
Inventions shall mean, for purposes of this paragraph, inventions, discoveries,
developments, methods and processes (whether or not patenable or copyrightable
or constituting trade secrets) conceived, made or discovered by the Executive

directly or indirectly, to the past, present, or future business activities,
research, product design or development, personnel, and business opportunities
of the Company, or result from tasks assigned to the Executive by the Company or

<PAGE>

(or as otherwise directed by the Company) his full right, title and interest in
and to all Inventions. The Executive agrees to execute any and all applications
for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights and to
do such other acts (including, among others, the execution and delivery of
instruments of further assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to
assign the Inventions to the Company and to permit the Company to file, obtain
and enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights in the
Inventions. The Executive agrees to make and maintain adequate and current
records of all Inventions, in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, or reports
relating thereto, which records shall be and remain the property of and
available to the Company at all times.

or owned by the Executive before becoming an employee of the Company and which
the Executive desires to exempt from this Agreement are listed on Attachment A
hereof and authorized for exclusion by the signature of an Officer of the
Company. (If the Executive does not have any such designs, ideas, inventions,
improvements, or other creations write "none" on this line: NONE.)

     C) The Executive agrees to notify the Company in writing before the
Executive makes any disclosure or performs or causes to be performed any work
for or on behalf of the Company, which appears to threaten or conflict with (a)
rights the Executive claims in any invention or idea conceived by the Executive
or others (i) prior to the Executive's employment, or (ii) otherwise outside the
scope of this Agreement; or (b) rights of others arising out of obligations
incurred by the Executive (i) prior to this Agreement, or (ii) otherwise outside
the scope of this Agreement. In the event of the Executive's failure to give
notice under the circumstances specified, the Company may assume that no such
conflicting invention or idea exists and the Executive agrees that the Executive
will make no claim against the Company with

                                       5

<PAGE>

respect to the use of any such invention or idea in any work which the Executive
performs or causes to be performed for or on behalf of the Company.

8. Proprietary and Trade Secret Information
   ----------------------------------------

     A) The Executive agrees that he will keep confidential and will not make
any unauthorized use or disclosure, or use for his own benefit or the benefit of
others, during or subsequent to his employment of any research, development,
engineering and manufacturing data, plans, designs, formulae, processes,
specifications, techniques, trade secrets, financial information, customer or
supplier lists or other information that becomes known to him as a result of his
employment with the Company which is the property of the Company or any of its
clients, customers, consultants, licensors, licensees, or affiliates, provided
nothing herein shall be construed to prevent the Executive from using his
general knowledge and skill after termination of his employment whether acquired
prior to or during his employment by the Company.

     B) Proprietary information subject to paragraph 8(A) does not include
information that: (i) is or later becomes available to the public through no
breach of this Agreement by the Employee; (ii) is obtained by the Executive from
a third party who had the legal right to disclose the information to the
Executive; or (iii) is required to be disclosed by law, government regulation,
or court order.

     C) During the course of his employment with the Company, the Executive will
not accept information from sources outside of the Company, which is designated
as "Confidential," or "Proprietary," or "Trade Secret" without prior written
permission from the Company or its attorneys. The Executive is not expected to
and is expressly forbidden by the Company policy from disclosing to the Company
a "Trade Secret" or "Confidential" or "Proprietary" information from a former
employer.

                                       6

<PAGE>

     D) During his employment, or upon leaving the employment of the Company,
the Executive will not remove from the Company premises, either directly or
indirectly, any drawings, writings, prints, any documents or anything
containing, embodying, or disclosing any confidential or proprietary information
or any of the Company's trade secrets unless express written permission is given
by the Company management. Upon termination of his employment, the Executive
shall return to the Company any and all documents and materials that are the
property of the Company or its customers, licensees, licensors or affiliates or
which contain information that is the property of the Company.

9. Covenant Not to Compete
   -----------------------

     A) While in the employ of the Company and for a period of one year or the
maximum period permitted by applicable law (whichever is shorter) following
termination of his employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without
the approval of the Company, alone or as a partner, officer, director,
consultant, employee, stockholder or otherwise, engage in any employment,
consulting or business activity or occupation that is or is intended to be
directly competitive with the business of the Company, as being considered,
researched, developed, marketed and/or sold at the time of termination;
provided, however, that the holding by the Executive of any investment in any
security shall not be deemed to be a violation of this section if such
investment does not constitute over one percent (1%) of the outstanding issue of
such security. The restriction shall run for a period of one year after said
termination, and if there shall be any violation hereof during said period, then
for a period of one year after cessation of such violation.

     B) While in the employ of the Company, the Executive shall promptly notify
the Company, if the Executive, alone or as a partner, officer, director,
consultant, employee,

                                       7

<PAGE>

stockholder or otherwise, engages in any employment, consulting or business
activity or occupation outside his employment by the Company.

     C) The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either during the term
of the Executive's employment under this Agreement or for a period of one (1)
year thereafter, solicit, directly or indirectly, the services of any person who
was a full-time employee of the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions or
affiliates, or solicit the business of any person who was a client or customer
of the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates, in each case at any
time during the last year of the term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement. The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, either during the
term of the Executive's employment under this Agreement or for a period of one
(1) year thereafter, employ, directly or indirectly, the services of any person
who was a full-time employee of the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions or
affiliates, or solicit the business of any person who was a client or customer
of the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates, in each case at any
time during the last year of the term of the Executive's employment under this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "person" shall include
natural persons, corporations, business trusts, associations, sole
proprietorships, unincorporated organizations, partnerships, joint ventures and
governments or any agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions
thereof.

     D) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in this section
are necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the
Company and that the covenants are reasonable in all respects. The Executive
further acknowledges and agrees that, if his employment by the Company is
terminated, his experience and capabilities are such that he is both qualified
and willing to seek and obtain employment involving business activities which

                                       8

<PAGE>

will not violate any covenant on his part to be observed hereunder and that a
court decree enjoining any such violation will not prevent him from earning a
reasonable livelihood.

     E) Just compensation for the duties under this paragraph is included in the
salary and benefits provided herein.

     F) If the Executive is terminated as a result of a Change of Control, as
defined in this Agreement, this Section, titled "Covenant Not to Compete," shall
not be applicable.

10. Termination
    -----------

     A) The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the
Executive's employment with the Company for performance reasons or cause. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "performance reasons" shall mean
termination of the Executive's employment upon the assessment of the Chief
Executive Officer, or the Board of Directors, or a Committee of the Board of
Directors that the Executive has failed to satisfactorily perform the essential
functions of the Executive's position. Such a determination shall be made using
acceptable business practices and sound management principles and shall not be
made in bad faith or arbitrarily.

     B) For purposes of this Agreement, the term "for cause" shall mean the
Executive's willfully engaging in conduct demonstrably and materially injurious
to the Company, monetarily or otherwise, provided that the Executive receives a
copy of a resolution duly adopted by the unanimous affirmative vote of the
entire membership of the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting of the
Board of the Company called and held for such purpose after the Executive has
been given reasonable notice of such meeting and has been given an opportunity,
together with his counsel, to be heard by the Board of the Company, finding that
in the good faith opinion

                                       9

<PAGE>

     of the Board of the Company the Executive was guilty of the conduct set
forth and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     C) The Executive's act, or failure to act, shall be deemed "willful" if the
Executive was not acting in good faith or acting without reasonable belief that
the Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act or failure to act based on authority given pursuant to a resolution duly
adopted by the Board of the Company, or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to have been done by the Executive in
good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

     D) If the Executive is terminated for cause, the Company shall not be
obligated to make any further payment to the Executive (other than accrued and
unpaid base salary and expenses to the date of termination), or continue to
provide any benefit (other than benefits which have accrued pursuant to any plan
or by law) to the Executive under this Agreement.

     E) If the Executive is terminated for performance reasons, the Executive
shall be entitled to certain benefits. The benefits shall consist of (i) salary
continuation at the salary the Executive was receiving at the time of
termination and (ii) the Executive's continued participation in any employee
health and welfare benefit plan to which the Executive was a participant prior
to his termination on the same basis as the Executive had participated as an
employee. The salary continuation and continued participation in any health and
welfare benefit plan shall be for twelve (12) months.

11. Change of Control
    -----------------

     A) "Change in Control" of CuraGen Corporation means the occurrence of any
one of the following events:

                                       10

<PAGE>

          (i) individuals who, on January 1, 2002, constituted the Board (the
     "Incumbent Directors") cease for any reason to constitute at least a
     majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director
     subsequent to January 1, 2002, whose election or nomination for election
     was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Incumbent Directors
     then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy
     statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for
     director, without objection to such nomination) shall be an Incumbent
     Director; provided, however, that no individual elected or nominated as a
     director of the Company initially as a result of an actual or threatened
     election contest with respect to directors or any other actual or
     threatened solicitation of proxies (or consents) by or on behalf of any
     person other than the Board shall be deemed an Incumbent Director;

          (ii) any "person" (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [the "Exchange Act"] and as used in Section
     13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes a "beneficial
     owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or
     indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the
     combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities eligible
     to vote for the election of the Board (the "Company Voting Securities");
     provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (ii) shall
     not be deemed to be a Change in Control by virtue of any of the following
     acquisitions: (A) by the Company or any Subsidiary; (B) by any employee
     benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Company or Subsidiary; or (C)
     by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering
     of such securities;

                                       11

<PAGE>

          (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share
     exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or
     any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company's
     stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in
     the transaction(a "Business Combination"), unless immediately following
     such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total voting power of
     (x) the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (the
     "Surviving Corporation"), or (y) if applicable, the ultimate parent
     corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of 100% of
     the voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving
     Corporation (the "Parent Corporation"), is represented by Company Voting
     Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business
     Combination (or, if applicable, shares into which such Company Voting
     Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such
     voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same
     proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the
     holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination; (B) no
     person (other than any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the
     Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation), is or becomes the
     beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the total
     voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect
     directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent Corporation,
     the Surviving Corporation); (C); at least a majority of the members of the
     board of directors of the Parent Corporation (or, if there is no Parent
     Corporation, the Surviving Corporation) were incumbent Directors at the
     time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement
     providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which
     satisfies all of the criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) above shall be
     deemed to be a "Non-Qualifying Transaction"); or

          (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete
     liquidation or dissolution of the Company or a sale or disposition of all
     or substantially all of the Company's assets.

     B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control of the Company shall
not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership
of more than 25% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition
of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company
Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after such acquisition by the
Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting
Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting
Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company
shall then occur.

12. Benefits Upon Termination
    -------------------------

     A) If the Executive is terminated by the Company for any reason other than
for cause, performance reasons, retirement, total disability or death, or if
this Agreement is not renewed by the Company, pursuant to Section 2.A., the
Executive shall be entitled certain benefits. The benefits shall consist of (i)
salary continuation at the salary the Executive was receiving at the time of
termination and (ii) the Executive's continued participation in any

                                       12

<PAGE>

participant prior to his termination on the same basis as the Executive had
participated as an employee. The salary continuation and continued participation
in any health and welfare benefit plan shall be for twelve (12) months.

     B) However, if the Executive is terminated by the Company within twelve
(12) months of a Change of Control as defined in this Agreement, the Executive
shall be entitled to an additional twelve (12) months of salary continuation and
continued participation in any health and welfare benefit plan for a total of
twenty-four (24) months salary continuation and participation in the health and
welfare benefit plan.

     C) Termination by the Executive of his employment for "good reason" shall
mean termination based on:

          (i) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, and without the
     Executive's express written consent, the assignment to Executive of any
     duties inconsistent with those duties prior to a Change in Control, or a
     change in the Executive's reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as
     in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, or any removal of the
     Executive from, or any failure to re-elect the Executive, to any of such
     positions, except in connection with the termination of the Executive's
     employment for Cause, Disability or Retirement or as a result of the
     Executive's death or by the Executive other than for good reason;

          (ii) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, a reduction by
     the Company in the Executive's base salary as in effect on the date hereof
     or as the same may be increased from time to time;

                                       13

<PAGE>

          (iii) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, a failure by
     the Company to continue any bonus plans in which the Executive is presently
     entitled to participate (the "Bonus Plans") as the same may be modified
     from time to time but substantially in the form currently in effect, or a
     failure by the Company to continue the Executive as a participant in the
     Bonus Plans on at least the same basis as the Executive presently
     participates in accordance with the Bonus Plans;

          (iv) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company and without the
     Executive's express written consent, the Company's requiring the Executive
     to be based anywhere other than within fifty (50) miles of the Executive's
     present office location, except for required travel on the Company's
     business to an extent substantially consistent with the Executive's present
     business travel obligations;

          (v) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, the failure by
     the Company to continue in effect any benefit or compensation plan, stock
     ownership plan, stock purchase plan, stock option plan, life insurance
     plan, health-and-accident plan or disability plan in which the Executive is
     participating at the time of a Change in Control of the Company (or plans
     providing the Executive with substantially similar benefits), the taking of
     any action by the Company which would adversely affect the Executive's
     participation in or materially reduce the Executive's benefits under any of
     such plans or deprive the Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed
     by the Executive at the time of the Change in Control, or the failure by
     the Company to provide the Executive with the number of paid vacation days
     to which the Executive is then entitled in

                                       14

<PAGE>

     accordance with the Company's normal vacation policy in effect on the date
     hereof;

          (vi) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, the failure by
     the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor; or

          (vii) subsequent to a Change in Control of the Company, any purported
     termination of the Executive's employment which is not effected pursuant to
     the terms of this Agreement. No such purported termination shall be
     effective.

     D) If the Executive terminates his employment for a "good reason," the
Executive shall be entitled to the same benefits as provided in paragraph B of
this section.

     E) Upon a Change of Control, notwithstanding any other agreement, all
stock, restricted stock, stock options or restricted stock options of the
Executive shall become fully vested to 100%.

13. Arbitration
    -----------

     A) Any dispute under this Agreement, including any dispute as to cause or
good reason for termination, shall be submitted to binding arbitration subject
to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. EACH OF THE PARTIES
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH
ACTIONS, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. The Company shall bear all costs associated with
the Arbitration, including filing fees and any stipend for the arbitrator. The
Company and the Executive shall each bear its own attorneys' fees. However, if
the Executive prevails in a challenge to the Company's determination for cause,
the Executive shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all attorney fees.

                                       15

<PAGE>

     B) Nothing in this section shall be read to preclude the Company seeking
injunctive relief for the Executive's breach of Section 8, Proprietary and Trade
Secret Information or Section 9, Covenant Not to Compete.

14. Injunctive Relief
    -----------------

     A) The Executive acknowledges that the services rendered by him under this
Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and, in
connection with such services, he will have access to confidential information
concerning the Company's business. By reason of this access to confidential
information, the Executive consents and agrees that if he violates any of the
provisions of this Agreement with respect to Proprietary and Trade Secret
Information or the Covenant Not to Compete, the Company would sustain
irreparable harm and, therefore, in addition to any other remedies which the
Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise, the Company shall be
entitled to an injunction to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction
restraining the Executive from committing or continuing to commit any such
violation of this Agreement.

15. Miscellaneous
    -------------

     A) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the

between the Company and the Executive with respect to its subject matter,

                                                                   Exhibit 10(f)

                            CYBEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                           1995 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

       1.   Purpose. The Cybex International, Inc. 1995 Omnibus Incentive Plan
(the "Plan") is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain
highly competent persons as officers and key employees of Lumex, Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries, by providing them opportunities to acquire
shares of the common stock, $.10 par value per share, of the Company ("Common
Stock") or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares
pursuant to the Benefits described herein. Furthermore, the Plan, together with
the Company's Stock Ownership Requirements Policy, is intended to assist in
aligning the interests of the Company's officers and key employees to those of
its shareholders.

       2.   Administration. (a) The Plan will be administered by a committee
(the "Committee") appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company from among
its members (which may be the Compensation Committee), which shall be comprised
of not less than two non-employee members of the Board; provided, however, that
each member of the Committee must qualify as a "disinterested person" within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Committee is
authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and
regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and
to make such determinations and interpretations and to take such action in
connection with the Plan and any Benefits (as defined below) granted hereunder
as it deems necessary or advisable. All determinations and interpretations made
by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on all participants and their
legal representatives. No member of the Board, no member of the Committee and no
employee of the Company shall be liable for any act or failure to act hereunder,
by any other member or employee or by any agent to whom duties in connection
with the administration of this Plan have been delegated or, except in
circumstances involving his or her bad faith, gross negligence or fraud, for any
act or failure to act by the member or employee.

       (b)  The Committee may delegate its powers and duties under the Plan to
one or more officers of the Company or to a committee of such officers, subject
to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish in its
sole discretion; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate its
powers and duties under the Plan with regard to officers and key employees of
the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

       3.   Participants. Participants will consist of such officers and key
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as the Committee in its sole
discretion determines to be significantly responsible for the success and future
growth and profitability of the Company and whom the Committee may designate
from time to time to receive Benefits under the Plan. Non-employee directors of
the Company shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan. Designation of a
participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person
to receive a Benefit in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same
type or amount of Benefit as granted to the participant in any other year. The
Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting
participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective
Benefits.

       4.   Type of Benefits. Benefits under the Plan may be granted in any one
or a combination of` (a) Stock Options, (b) Stock Appreciation Rights, (c) Stock
Awards, (d) Performance Awards and (e) Bonus Stock Purchase Awards (each as
described below, and collectively, the "Benefits"). Benefits shall be evidenced
by agreements (which need not be identical) in such forms as the Committee may
from time to time approve.

       5.   Common Stock Available under the Plan. The aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Benefits, including Stock Options,
granted under this Plan shall be 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock, which may be
authorized and unissued or treasury shares, subject to any adjustments made in
accordance with

                                      A-1

<PAGE>

Section 11 hereof. Any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option which
for any reason is cancelled (excluding shares subject to a Stock Option
cancelled upon the exercise of a related Stock Appreciation Right) or terminated
without having been exercised, or any Stock Awards or Performance Awards which
are forfeited, shall again be available for Benefits under the Plan, to the
extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act regarding the availability
of such shares.

     6.  Stock Options. Stock Options will consist of awards from the Company
that will enable the holder to purchase a specific number of shares of Common
Stock, at set terms and at a fixed purchase price. Stock Options may be
"incentive stock options" ("Incentive Stock Options") within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or
Stock Options which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options ("Nonqualified
Stock Options"). The Committee will have the authority to grant to any
participant one or more Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or
both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation
Rights). Each Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions
consistent with the Plan as the Committee may impose from time to time, subject
to the following limitations:

         (a)  Exercise Price. Each Stock Option granted hereunder shall have
     such per-share exercise price as the Committee may determine at the date of
     grant; provided, however, that the per-share exercise price for Incentive
     Stock Options shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as
     defined below) of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted.

         (b)  Payment of Exercise Price. The option exercise price may be paid
     in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee, by the delivery of shares
     of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the participant, by the
     withholding of shares of Common Stock for which a Stock Option is
     exercisable, or by a combination of these methods. In the discretion of the
     Committee, payment may also be made by delivering a properly executed
     exercise notice to the Company together with a copy of irrevocable
     instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of
     sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the
     foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures
     with one or more brokerage firms. The Committee may prescribe any other
     method of paying the exercise price that it determines to be consistent
     with applicable law and the purpose of the Plan, including, without
     limitation, in lieu of the exercise of a Stock Option by delivery of shares
     of Common Stock of the Company then owned by a participant, providing the
     Company with a notarized statement attesting to the number of shares owned,
     where upon verification by the Company, the Company would issue to the
     participant only the number of incremental shares to which the participant
     is entitled upon exercise of the Stock Option. In determining which methods
     a participant may utilize to pay the exercise price, the Committee may
     consider such factors as it determines are appropriate, including, without
     limitation, compliance of the participant with the Company's Stock
     Ownership Requirements Policy.

         (c)  Exercise Period. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be
     exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions
     as shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no Stock
     Option shall be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is
     granted. All Stock Options shall terminate at such earlier times and upon
     such conditions or circumstances as the Committee shall in its discretion
     set forth in such option at the date of grant.

         (d)  Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options
     may be granted only to participants who are employees of the Company or one
     of its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) at
     the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
     time the option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which
     Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant
     during any calendar year (under all option plans of the Company and of any
     parent corporation or subsidiary corporation (as defined in Sections 424(e)
     and (f) of the Code, respectively) shall not exceed $100,000. For purposes
     of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into
     account in the order in which they are granted. Incentive Stock Options may
     not be granted to any participant who, at the time of grant, owns stock
     possessing(after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d)
     of the Code)

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

     more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
     the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company, unless
     the option price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
     the Common Stock on the date of grant and the exercise of such option is
     prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date of
     grant of such option.

     7.  Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant
Stock Appreciation Rights to the holders of any Stock Options granted hereunder.
In addition, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted independently of, and
without relation to, options. A Stock Appreciation Right means a right to
receive a payment, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of (x) the Fair
Market Value, or other specified valuation, of a specified number of shares of
Common Stock on the date the right is exercised over (y) the Fair Market Value,
or other specified valuation, of such shares of Common Stock on the date the
right is granted, all as determined by the Committee. Each Stock Appreciation
Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
impose from time to time, including, without limitation, rights conditioned upon
the occurrence of certain events, such as a Change in Control (as defined below)
of the Company.

     8.  Stock Awards. Stock Awards (which includes mandatory stock bonus
incentive compensation) will consist of Common Stock transferred to participants
with or without other payments therefor as additional compensation for services
to the Company. Stock Awards shall be subject to such terms and conditions as
the Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation,
restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares, the right of the
Company to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the
participant's employment within specified periods, and conditions requiring that
the shares be earned in whole or in part upon the achievement of performance
goals established by the Committee over a designated period of time. The
Committee may require the participant to deliver a duly signed stock power,
endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such an Award. The
Committee may also require that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be
held in custody or bear restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall
have lapsed. The Stock Award shall specify whether the participant shall have,
with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award, all of the
rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including the right
to receive dividends and to vote the shares.

     9.  Performance Awards.

     (a) Performance Awards may be granted to participants at any time and from
time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have
complete discretion in determining the number, amount and timing of awards
granted to each participant. Such Performance Awards may take the form of, as
determined by the Committee, including, without limitation, cash, shares of
Common Stock, performance units and performance shares, or any combination
thereof. Performance Awards may be awarded as short-term or long-term
incentives. The Committee shall set performance goals at its discretion which,
depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or
value of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the participants, and may
attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions. Performance goals
may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional, project team,
and/or individual performance.

     (b) The Committee shall have the authority at any time to make adjustments
to performance goals for any outstanding Performance Awards which the Committee
deems necessary or desirable unless at the time of establishment of goals the
Committee shall have precluded its authority to make such adjustments.

     (c) Payment of earned Performance Awards shall be made in accordance with
terms and conditions prescribed or authorized by the Committee. The participant
may elect to defer, or the Committee may require the deferral of, the receipt of
Performance Awards upon such terms as the Committee deems appropriate.

     10. Bonus Stock Purchase Awards.

     (a) The Committee may by written notice permit a participant selected by
the Committee to elect to purchase shares of Common Stock with up to a maximum
percentage, as determined by the Committee, of funds

                                      A-3

<PAGE>

otherwise payable to such participant pursuant to the Company's annual bonus
incentive compensation program ("Bonus Stock Purchase Awards"). Only those
participants who make timely Bonus Conversion Elections (as defined below) shall
be eligible to receive a Bonus Stock Purchase Award. The amount purchased in
accordance with a Bonus Conversion Election shall be subject to reduction or to
such other limitations as are from time to time established by the Committee.

     (b)  Not later than on a participant's annual bonus payment date, each
participant selected by the Committee may make an irrevocable election ("Bonus
Conversion Election") to convert a fixed percentage of his or her annual
incentive bonus for that fiscal year by filing a conversion election form (as
may be prescribed by the Committee) with the Committee; provided, however, that
any participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must elect to
convert his or her annual incentive bonus at least six months prior to the day
the amount of such bonus is determined, or at such other time as the Committee
may establish.

     (c)  On a participant's annual incentive bonus payment date, an amount
equal to the portion of the participant's bonus that is validly converted shall
be used to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock at a per-share purchase
price fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that the per-share purchase
price shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the regular bonus payment date had it been paid in cash. On the same date or as
soon as practicable thereafter, such number of shares of Common Stock shall be
registered in the participant's name, and stock certificates shall be issued
therefor to the participant.

     (d)  Bonus Stock Purchase Awards shall be subject to such terms and
conditions as the Committee determines appropriate, including, without
limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares. The
Committee may also require that stock certificates evidencing such shares bear
restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed.

     11.  Adjustment Provisions; Change in Control.

     (a)  If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company,
through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spinoff, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure
or distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to shareholders of the
Company, an adjustment shall be made to each outstanding Stock Option and Stock
Appreciation Right such that each such Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Right
shall thereafter be exercisable for such securities, cash and/or other property
as would have been received in respect of the Common Stock subject to such Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right had such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation
Right been exercised in full immediately prior to such change, and such an
adjustment shall be made successively each time any such change shall occur. In
addition, in the event of any such change, in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of participants' rights under the Plan, the Committee will have
authority to adjust, in an equitable manner, the number and kind of shares that
may be issued under the Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to
outstanding Benefits, the exercise price applicable to outstanding Benefits, and
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock and other value determinations
applicable to outstanding Benefits. Appropriate adjustments may also be made by
the Committee in the terms of any Benefits under the Plan to reflect such
changes and to modify any other terms of outstanding Benefits on an equitable
basis, including modifications of performance targets and changes in the length
of performance periods. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make
adjustments to the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in,
Benefits in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company
or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (i) each such adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option
shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the Code, and (ii) in no event
shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option
granted hereunder other than an incentive stock option for purposes of Section
422 of the Code.

     (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if there is a Change
in Control of the Company, all then outstanding Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights shall immediately become exercisable. For purposes of this
Section 11(b), a "Change in Control" of the Company shall be deemed to have
occurred upon any of the

                                      A-4

<PAGE>

following events:

          (i)   A change in control of the direction and administration of the
     Company's business of a nature that would be required to be reported in
     response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under
     the Exchange Act; or

          (ii)  During any period of two (2) consecutive years, the individuals
     who at the beginning of such period constitute the Company's Board of
     Directors or any individuals who would be "Continuing Directors" (as
     hereinafter defined) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
     thereof; or

          (iii) The Company's Common Stock shall cease to be publicly traded; or

          (iv)  The Company's Board of Directors shall approve a sale of all or
     substantially all of the assets of the Company, and such transaction shall
     have been consummated; or

          (v)   The Company's Board of Directors shall approve any merger,
     consolidation, or like business combination or reorganization of the
     Company, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of any
     event described in Section 11(b)(ii) or (iii) above, and such transaction
     shall have been consummated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any spin-off of a division or subsidiary of the
Company to its shareholders shall not constitute a Change in Control of the
Company.

     For purposes of this Section 11(b), "Continuing Directors" shall mean the
directors of the Company in office on the Effective Date (as defined below) and
any successor to any such director and any additional director who after the
date of such effectiveness (i) was nominated or selected by a majority of the
Continuing Directors in office at the time of his nomination or selection and
(ii) is not an "affiliate" or 44 associate" (as defined in Regulation 12B under
the Exchange Act) at the time of his nomination or selection of any person who
is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities representing ten
percent (10%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding
securities then ordinarily entitled to vote for the election of directors.

     The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence
of a Change in Control of the Company, each Stock Option and Stock Appreciation
Right outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days
after notice to the holder, and such holder shall receive, with respect to each
share of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right,
in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares of
Common Stock immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over
the exercise price per share of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right;
such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including
the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof,
as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The provisions contained
in the preceding sentence shall be inapplicable to a Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted within six (6) months before the occurrence of a
Change in Control if the holder of such Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right
is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

     12.  Nontransferability. Each Benefit granted under the Plan to a
participant shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during the participant's
lifetime, only by the participant. In the event of the death of a participant
while the participant is rendering services to the Company, each Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right theretofore granted to him shall be exercisable during
such period after his death as the Committee shall in its discretion set forth
in such option or right at the date of grant (but not beyond the stated duration
of the option or right) and then only:

          (a)   By the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased
     participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased participant's
     rights under the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall pass by
     will or the laws of descent and distribution; and

                                      A-5

<PAGE>

          (b) To the extent that the deceased participant was entitled to do so
     at the date of his or her death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
     discretion of the Committee, an award of a Benefit other than an Incentive
     Stock Option may permit the transferability of a Benefit by a participant
     solely to members of the participant's immediate family or trusts or family
     partnerships for the benefit of such persons, subject to any restriction
     included in the award of the Benefit.

     13.  Other Provisions. The award of any Benefit under the Plan may also be
subject to such other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Benefit
awarded to any other participant) as the Committee determines appropriate,
including, without limitation, for the installment purchase of Common Stock
under Stock Options, for the installment exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights,
to assist the participant in financing the acquisition of Common Stock, for the
forfeiture of, or restrictions on resale or other disposition of, Common Stock
acquired under any form of Benefit, for the acceleration of exercisability or
vesting of Benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company, for the
payment of the value of Benefits to participants in the event of a change in
control of the Company, or to comply with federal and state securities laws, or
understandings or conditions as to the participant's employment in addition to
those specifically provided for under the Plan.

     14.  Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Plan and any Benefits awarded
hereunder, Fair Market Value shall be the closing price for the Company's Common
Stock on the date of calculation (or on the last preceding trading date if
Common Stock was not traded on such date) if the Company's Common Stock is
readily tradeable on a national securities exchange or other market system, and
if the Company's Common Stock is not readily tradeable, Fair Market Value shall
mean the amount determined in good faith by the Committee as the fair market
value of the Common Stock of the Company.

     15.  Withholding. All payments or distributions of Benefits made pursuant
to the Plan shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to
applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If the Company
proposes or is required to distribute Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, it may
require the recipient to remit to it or to the corporation that employs such
recipients art amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements
prior to the delivery of any certificates for such Common Stock. In lieu
thereof, the Company or the employing corporation shall have the right to
withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from
such corporation to the recipient as the Committee shall prescribe. The
Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt
(including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax
regulatory requirements), permit an optionee or award or right holder to pay all
or a portion of the federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in
connection with any Benefit consisting of shares of Common Stock by electing to
have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value
equal to the amount to be withheld.

     16.  Tenure. A participant's right, if any, to continue to serve the
Company as an officer, employee, or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or
otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the Plan.

     17.  Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest
whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in
meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no
action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create
a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the
extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company
under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured
general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid
from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be
established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such
amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to
be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     18.  No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Benefit. The Committee shall
determine whether cash, or Benefits, or other property shall be issued or paid
in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights
thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

     19.  Duration, Amendment and Termination. No Benefit shall be granted more
than ten years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that the terms and
conditions applicable to any Benefit granted prior to such date may thereafter
be amended or modified by mutual agreement between the Company and the
participant or such other persons as may then have an interest therein. Also, by
mutual agreement between the Company and a participant hereunder, under this
Plan or under any other present or future plan of the Company, Benefits may be
granted to such participant in substitution and exchange for, and in
cancellation of, any Benefits previously granted such participant under this
Plan, or any other present or future plan of the Company. The Board of Directors
may amend the Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time. However, no action authorized by this Section 19 shall reduce the amount
of any existing Benefit or change the terms and conditions thereof without the
participant's consent. No amendment of the Plan shall, without approval of the
stockholders of the Company, (i) materially increase the total number of shares
which may be issued under the Plan; (ii) materially increase the amount or type
of Benefits that may be granted under the Plan; or (iii) materially modify the
requirements as to eligibility for Benefits under the Plan.

     20.  Governing Law. This Plan, Benefits granted hereunder and actions taken
in connection herewith shall be governed and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York (regardless of the law that might otherwise govern
under applicable New York principles of conflict of laws).

     21.  Compliance with Rule 16b-3. With respect to persons subject to Section
16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with
all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 (or its successors) promulgated under
the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the
Committee fails to comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.

     22.  Effective Date. (a) The Plan shall become effective as of March 8,
1995, the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (the
"Effective Date"), provided that the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the
Company at an annual meeting or any special meeting of shareholders of the
Company, and such approval of shareholders shall be a condition to the right of
each participant to receive any Benefits hereunder. Any Benefits granted under
the Plan prior to such approval of shareholders shall be effective for purposes
of Section 16 of the Exchange Act as of the date such shareholder approval is
obtained and for all other purposes as of the date of grant (unless, with
respect to any Benefit, the Committee specifies otherwise at the time of grant),
but no such Benefit may be exercised or settled and no restrictions relating to
any Benefit may lapse prior to such shareholder approval, and if shareholders
fail to approve the Plan as specified hereunder, any such Benefit shall be
cancelled.

     (b)  This Plan shall terminate on March 7, 2005 (unless sooner terminated
by the Board of Directors).
