and regulations for the administration of the Plan, including, but not limited
to, correcting any defect or supplying any omission, or reconciling any

or in any
Agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or advisable
to make the Plan fully effective, and all decisions and determinations by the
Committee in the exercise of this power shall be final and binding upon the
Company or a Subsidiary, and the Optionees, as the case may be;

 

(iii)          generally, to
exercise such powers and to perform such acts as are deemed necessary or
advisable to promote the best interests of the Company with respect to the
Plan.

 

4.           Shares Subject to
Plan; Limitation on Grants.

 

(a)          The
maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Options shall be
550,000 Shares (or the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities
that are substituted for those Shares or to which those Shares are adjusted
upon a Change in Capitalization), and the Company shall reserve for the
purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized but unissued Shares or out of
Shares held in the Company’s treasury, or partly out of each, such number of
Shares.

 

(b)         Whenever
any outstanding Option or portion thereof expires, is cancelled or is otherwise
terminated (other than by exercise of an Option), the Shares allocable to the
unexercised portion of such Option may again be the subject of grants of
Options hereunder.

 

(c)          The
aggregate number of Shares with respect to which an Option or Options may be
granted to any individual Optionee during any fiscal year shall not exceed
18,000.

 

5.           Eligibility.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have full and final authority to select those Eligible
Employees, nonemployee directors and consultants who will receive Options
hereunder.

 

6.           Options.  The Committee may grant Options in
accordance with the Plan, the terms and conditions of which shall be set forth
in an Agreement.  Each Option and
Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(a)          Purchase
Price.  The purchase price or the
manner in which the purchase price is to be determined for Shares under each
Option shall be set forth in the Agreement; provided,  however,
that the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time prior to the expiration
of an Option, provided that the purchase

 

5

 

price per Share of an Option
may be lowered if the Board determines that such an adjustment is necessary to
preserve the incentive purpose of such Option.

 

(b)         Duration.  Options granted hereunder shall be for such
term as the Committee shall determine, provided that no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it is
granted.  The Committee may, subsequent
to the granting of any Option, extend the term thereof but in no event shall
the term as so extended exceed the maximum term provided for in the preceding
sentence.

 

(c)          Nontransferability.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement,
no Option granted hereunder shall be transferable by an Optionee otherwise than
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option may be exercised
during the lifetime of such Optionee only by the Optionee or such Optionee’s
guardian or legal representative.  The
terms of such Option shall be binding upon the beneficiaries, executors,
administrators, heirs and successors of the Optionee.

 

(d)         Vesting.  Each Option shall become exercisable as
determined by the Board or Committee as set forth in the Agreement.

 

(e)          Termination
of Employment or Service.  Unless
otherwise set forth in the Agreement, any outstanding Options held by an
Optionee on the date that an Optionee ceases to be employed by the Company or
any Subsidiary (or ceases to serve as a nonemployee director of, or a
consultant to the Company or any Subsidiary) shall terminate as of such
date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Committee may provide, either at the time an Option is granted or
thereafter, that the Option may be exercised beyond such date, but in no event
beyond the term of the Option.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless determined otherwise by the Committee
and reflected in the applicable Agreement, service by an Optionee as a
consultant to the Company which commences immediately upon the termination of
such Optionee’s employment by the Company (or, if applicable, termination of
such Optionee’s service as a nonemployee director) shall be treated as
continuous service by such Optionee with the Company for purposes of this Plan,
and Options held by such Optionee shall remain outstanding during such service
as a consultant, subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Plan.

 

(f)          Method
of Exercise.  The exercise of an
Option shall be made only by a written notice delivered to the Secretary of the
Company at the Company’s principal executive office, specifying the number of
Shares to be purchased 

 

6

 

and accompanied by payment
therefor and otherwise in accordance with the Agreement pursuant to which the
Option was granted.  The purchase price
for any Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid in
full upon such exercise either (i) in cash, by certified check or by cashier’s
check or (ii) through the delivery of Shares owned by the Optionee for at least
six months prior to the date of exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to the
Option purchase price.  If requested by
the Committee, the Optionee shall deliver the Agreement evidencing the Option
to the Secretary of the Company who shall endorse thereon a notation of such
exercise and return such Agreement to the Optionee.  Not less than 50 Shares may be purchased at any time upon the
exercise of an Option unless the number of Shares so purchased constitutes the
total number of Shares then purchasable under the Option.

 

(i)           Rights
of Optionees.  No Optionee shall be
deemed for any purpose to be the owner of any Shares subject to any Option
unless and until (i) the Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms
thereof, (ii) the Company shall have issued and delivered the Shares to the
Optionee, and (iii) the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as a
stockholder of record on the books of the Company.  Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and
other ownership rights with respect to such Shares.

 

7.           Adjustment Upon
Changes in Capitalization.

 

(a)          In
the event of a Change in Capitalization, the Committee shall conclusively
determine the appropriate adjustments, if any, to the maximum number and class
of shares of stock with respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan,
the number and class of shares of stock as to which Options have been granted
under the Plan, and the purchase price therefor, if applicable.

 

(b)         In
the event the outstanding Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for any
other class or series of capital stock or cash, securities or other property
pursuant to a recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation,
combination or similar transaction, then each Option shall thereafter become
exercisable for the number and/or kind of capital stock, and/or the amount of
cash, securities or other property so distributed, into which the Shares
subject to the Option would have been changed or exchanged had the Option been
exercised in full prior to such transaction, provided that, if the kind or
amount of capital stock or cash, securities or other property received in such
transaction is not the same for each outstanding Share, then the kind or amount
of capital stock or cash, securities or other property for which the Option
shall thereafter become exercisable shall be the kind and amount so receivable
per Share by a plurality of the Shares, and provided further that,

 

7

 

if necessary, the provisions of
the Option shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as
may reasonably be, to any shares of capital stock, cash, securities or other
property thereafter issuable or deliverable upon exercise of the Option.

 

8.           Termination and
Amendment of the Plan.  The Plan
shall terminate on the day preceding the tenth anniversary of its effective
date, except with respect to Options outstanding on such date, and no Options
may be granted thereafter, but then-outstanding Options shall be
unaffected.  The Board may sooner
terminate or amend the Plan at any time, and from time to time; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 7 hereof, no amendment shall be
effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company if and to the
extent that the Board determines such approval is appropriate for purposes of
satisfying Section 162(m) of the Code or any other law, regulation or stock
exchange rule.  Except as provided in
Section 7 hereof, rights and obligations under any Option granted before any
amendment of the Plan shall not be adversely altered or impaired by such
amendment, except with the consent of the Optionee.

 

9.           Nonexclusivity of
the Plan.  The adoption of the Plan
by the Board shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any
previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the
power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem
desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options
otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable
generally or only in specific cases.

 

10.         Limitation of
Liability.  As illustrative of the
limitations of liability of the Company, but not intended to be exhaustive
thereof, nothing in the Plan shall be construed to:

 

(a)          give
any person any right to be granted an Option other than at the sole discretion
of the Board or the Committee;

 

(b)         give
any person any rights whatsoever with respect to Shares except as specifically
provided in the Plan;

 

(c)          limit
in any way the right of the Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment
of any person at any time; or

 

(d)         be
evidence of any agreement or understanding, expressed or implied, that the
Company or its Subsidiaries will employ any person in 

 

8

 

any particular position, at any particular rate of compensation or for
any particular period of time.

 

11.         Regulations and
Other Approvals; Governing Law.

 

(a)          The Plan and the
rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be construed and determined in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the
choice of law principles thereof.

 

(b)         The obligation of the
Company to sell or deliver Shares with respect to Options granted under the
Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including
all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such
approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by
the Committee.

 

(c)          Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8, the Board may make such changes as may be necessary or
appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government
authority.

 

(d)         Each Option is subject
to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its
absolute discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares
issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under
any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the grant of an Option, or the issuance of Shares, no Options, shall be
granted or payment made or Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing,
registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained
free of any conditions as acceptable to the Committee.

 

12.         Multiple Agreements.  The terms of each Option may differ from
other Options granted under the Plan at the same time, or at any other
time.  The Committee may also grant more
than one Option, to a given Optionee during the term of the Plan, either in

13          Withholding of
Taxes.  Whenever Shares are to be
delivered pursuant to an Option, the Company shall have the right to require
the Optionee to remit to the Company in cash an amount equal to the amount of
any federal, state and local tax required to be withheld.  With the approval of the Committee, an
Optionee may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company
withhold from delivery Shares having a value equal to the amount of tax to
required to be withheld.  Such shares
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of
tax required to be withheld is determined (the “Tax Date”).  Fractional share amounts shall be settled in
cash.  Such a withholding election may
be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered
pursuant to an Option.

 

14          Notification of
Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. 
If any Optionee shall, in connection with the acquisition of Shares
under the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code,
such Optionee shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of
filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service.

 

15          No Fractional
shares.  No fractional Shares shall
be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. 
The Board shall determine whether cash, other Options, or other property
shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such
fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise
eliminated.

 

16          Beneficiary.  An Optionee may file with the Committee a
written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the
Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation.  If no designated beneficiary survives the
Optionee, the executor or administrator of the Optionee’s estate shall be
deemed to be the Optionee’s beneficiary.

 

17          Effective Date.  The effective date of the Plan is January 4,
2000 (the date on which the Board adopted the Plan), subject to the approval of
the Company’s shareholders, which must occur within twelve months of the date
the Plan is adopted by the Board.
