1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND RESTRICTED ACTIONS.

      1.1 Election of Directors.

            (a) Board Composition. The Stockholders, and the Company to the
fullest extent permitted by law, agree to take all necessary action, including
the voting or shares or the taking of action by written consent, to implement
the following composition of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"). The Board shall be comprised initially of seven individuals who shall
be natural persons. One such individual shall be the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, who shall initially be Michael J, Quillen. The FRC Parties shall be
entitled to nominate two individuals to serve on the Board, who shall initially
be William E. Macaulay and Alex T. Krueger. The AMCI Parties shall be entitled
to nominate two individuals to serve on the Board, who shall initially be Fritz
R. Kundrun and Hans J. Mende. Two individuals, who shall be "independent" as
such term is defined in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and
reasonably acceptable to the FRC Parties and the AMCI Parties, shall be
appointed to the Board, who shall initially be E. Linn Draper, Jr. and John W.
Fox, Jr. The FRC Parties, on the one hand, and the AMCI Parties, on the other
hand, shall, when acting in this capacity, each be referred to as a "Board
Group." The Board may adjust from time to time by resolution the number of
directors comprising the Board.

            (b) Qualifying Board Group. At such time as either the FRC Parties
and their Affiliates (as defined below), on the one hand, or the AMCI Parties
and their Affiliates, on the other hand, no longer own at least 5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, such Board Group shall no longer be entitled
to designate individuals to serve on the Board, and such Board Group shall use
its best efforts to cause its designated directors to resign or to be removed
from the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Affiliate" is any Person
that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries controls or is
controlled by or is under common control with the specified Person. As used in
this definition of "Affiliate," the term "control" means the possession,
directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting
securities, by contract, or otherwise, and the term "Person" means any
individual, corporation, association, partnership, limited liability company,
joint venture, trust, estate or other entity or organization.

            (c) Reduction of Board. To the extent that either Board Group loses
the right to designate Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1(b),
the Board will take such action so as to reduce the size of the Board.

            (d) Expanded Board. As promptly as practicable after an Initial
Public Offering (as defined below) or as otherwise required by applicable
federal and state securities laws, the Board shall be expanded to include such
additional "independent" directors as may be required by the rules of any
exchange on which the shares of the Company's capital stock are traded. Such
independent directors shall be selected by the Board and shall be reasonably
acceptable to both the FRC Parties' Board Group (so long as such Board Group is
entitled to designate individuals to serve on the Board pursuant to Section
1.1(b) above (a "Qualifying Board Group")) and the AMCI Parties' Board Group (so
long as it is a Qualifying Board Group). An "Initial Public Offering" means the
Company's first underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as

                                       2
<PAGE>

amended, other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form
S-8 or other limited purpose form.

            (e) Chairman. A Chairman of the Board (the "Chairman") may, from
time to time, be appointed by the Directors from among themselves. The Chairman
of the initial Board shall be Hans J. Mende. The Chairman, if appointed, will
preside over meetings of the Board.

            (f) Voting. Each Director, including the Chairman, shall have a
single vote. Any vote, consent or other action of the Board may be undertaken
with the unanimous written consent (in lieu of meeting) of the Directors, in
each case who have been appointed and who are then in office.

            (g) Removal and Replacement. Each Board Group shall be entitled at
any time (with or without cause) to cause any or all of the Directors designated
by such Board Group pursuant to Section 1.1(a) to be removed from the Board.
Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, a Director may be removed only
by a Board Group that designated such Director to the Board. In the event that a
vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation
or removal (with or without cause) of any Director, or, if prior to his or her
appointment to the Board, any Director-designee of a Board Group indicates that
he or she is unwilling or unable to serve as a Director, then (i) the Board
Group that had appointed such Director (or designee) shall cause the vacancy
created thereby to be filled by an appropriate individual as soon as reasonably
practicable and (ii) the Board shall not take any material action over the
objection of such Board Group with a pending vacancy on the Board without such
Board Group's consent until a replacement Director has been appointed by the
appropriate Board Group pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence and elected to
the Board.

            (h) Board Committees. The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole Board of Directors, designate one or more
committees, including but not limited to an audit committee, a compensation
committee, and a nominating and governance committee, each such committee to
consist of one or more of the directors of the Company. As long each Board Group
constitutes a Qualifying Board Group and except as may be required by applicable
Law or any exchange or over the counter market on which the securities of the
Company are listed or quoted, as the case may be, each Board Group shall have
representation on all committees of the Board that is as nearly proportionate to
such Board Group's representation on the Board as possible.

      1.2 VCOC. In the event that the Company ceases to qualify as an "operating
company" (as defined in the first sentence of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(c)),
then the Company and each Stockholder will cooperate in good faith to take all
reasonable action necessary to provide that the investment (or at least 51% of
the investment valued at cost) of each Stockholder that qualifies as a "venture
capital operating company" (as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)) (a
"VCOC Stockholder") shall continue to qualify as a "venture capital investment"
(as defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)).

      1.3 Stockholder Action. For as long as either the FRC Parties' Board Group
or the AMCI Parties' Board Group constitutes a Qualifying Board Group, then
except as required by law, the AMCI Parties shall be obligated to vote all of
the Common Stock held by such Persons

                                       3
<PAGE>

in favor of any individual designated to serve as Director pursuant to Section
1.1(a). For so long as the AMCI Parties' Board Group constitutes a Qualifying
Board Group, then except as required by law, the FRC Parties shall be obligated
to vote all of the Common Stock held by such Person in favor of any individual
designated to serve as Director pursuant to Section 1.1(a).

2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

      2.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2:

            (a) Demand Right Holder. The term "Demand Right Holder" means the
FRC Parties as a group and the AMCI Parties as a group; provided that a Demand
Right Holder shall cease to be a Demand Right Holder at such time as it holds in
the aggregate less than 10% of the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding.

            (b) Holder. The term "Holder" means any Stockholder owning of record
Registrable Securities or any permitted assignee of record of such Registrable
Securities to whom rights under this Section 2 have been duly assigned in
accordance with this Agreement.

            (c) Majority Holder(s). The term "Majority Holder(s)" means Holders
holding a majority of Registrable Securities held by all Holders requesting
inclusion in a registration.

            (d) Registration. The terms "register," "registered," and
"registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such
registration statement.

            (e) Registrable Securities. The term "Registrable Securities" means
all shares of Common Stock now owned or hereinafter acquired by a Stockholder
and any equity of the Company or other entity acquired in exchange for shares of
Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Registrable Securities" shall
exclude any Registrable Securities sold by a Person in a transaction in which
rights under this Section 2 are not assigned in accordance with this Agreement
and any Registrable Securities sold in a public offering, whether sold pursuant
to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or in a registered offering,
or otherwise.

            (f) Registrable Securities Then Outstanding. The "Registrable
Securities Then Outstanding" shall mean the shares of Common Stock that are
Registrable Securities and (i) are then issued and outstanding or (ii) are then
issuable pursuant to an exercise or conversion of securities exercisable for, or
convertible into, Common Stock.

            (g) SEC. The term "SEC" means the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.

      2.2 Demand Registration.

            (a) Request by Demand Right Holder. If the Company has previously
effected the registration of a class of its equity securities under the
Securities Act and shall receive a written request (a "Demand Notice") from a
Demand Right Holder that the Company

                                       4
<PAGE>

file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration
of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), then the Company
shall, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of a Demand Notice, give
written notice of such request (the "Request Notice") to all Holders and, in
addition to complying with its obligations under Section 2.3, shall use its best
efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities
Act of all Registrable Securities that the Demand Right Holder requests to be
registered in the Demand Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section
2.2 and the rights of other Holders pursuant to Section 2.3; provided that the
Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company
has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already
effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to (i) this Section
2.2(a) or (ii) Section 2.3 in which the Demand Right Holder participated, other
than a registration from which all or a portion of the Registrable Securities of
the Demand Right Holder were excluded pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.3(b).

            (b) Underwriting. If a Demand Right Holder intends to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwritten
offering, then it shall so advise the Company as a part of the Demand Notice,
and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice. In such
event, the right of any Holder to include his, her or its Registrable Securities
in such registration pursuant to the rights set forth in Section 2.3 shall be
conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting as
provided in this Agreement (unless otherwise mutually agreed by such Holder and
the Majority Holder(s)). The Company and all Holders proposing to distribute
their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Majority Holder(s). All Holders, whether
or not they are participating in such offering, and the Company agree not to
effect any sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or conveyance of (including,
without limitation, taking any short position in) Registrable Securities (or any
securities of the Company exchangeable or convertible into Registrable
Securities) during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of a
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.2, except
as part of that Registration, (or for such (i) shorter period as the sole or
lead managing underwriter shall request or (ii) longer period as the sole
underwriter or lead managing underwriter(s) may request in connection with New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
("NASD") rules restricting the timing of the underwriters publishing or
distributing research reports on the Company) (the "Lock-up Period"); provided,
however, that, with respect to offerings other than the Company's Initial Public
Offering, Holders who beneficially own less than 1% of the Registrable
Securities Then Outstanding shall not be subject to the Lock-up Period unless so
required by the managing underwriter and, in such case, the Lock-up Period shall
be reduced to a 90-day period beginning on the effective date of such
registration statement (or such longer period as the sole underwriter or lead
managing underwriter(s) may request in connection with the requirements of
applicable NYSE or NASD rules). Each Holder agrees to enter into customary
lock-up agreements with an underwriter consistent with the terms of the
preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2 or
Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s) determine in good faith that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be
underwritten, the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities
that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the
managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares of the Registrable Securities as
necessary from

                                       5
<PAGE>

the registration and the underwriting, with the number of shares to be included
in the registration and the underwriting allocated in the following manner:
first, to the Investors requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in
such registration statement (whether pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 2.2(b) or
2.3), on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities
then held by each such Investor; second, to the Company; and third, to each of
the Employee Stockholders requesting inclusion of Registrable Securities in such
registration statement pursuant to Section 2.3, on a pro rata basis, based on
the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Employee
Stockholder. No other Registrable Securities may be included (other than by the
Company or by the Holders pursuant to Section 2.3) without the consent of the
Majority Holder(s). If, as a result of any reduction or limitation at the
request of an underwriter, a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2
does not include at least 80% of the Registrable Securities that the Holders
requested to be registered in the Demand Notice, such registration shall not
constitute a demand for purposes of Section 2.2(d). For any Holder that is a
partnership, the Holder and the partners and retired partners of such Holder, or
the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any
trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, and for any Holder that
is a corporation, the Holder and all corporations that are Affiliates of such
Holder, shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with
respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable
Securities owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as
defined in this sentence.

            (c) Shelf Registration. If the Company is eligible to register the
resale of Registrable Securities by Holders on Form S-3, then any registration
under Section 2.2(a) shall, if requested in the Demand Notice, be effected on
Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (or its successor) on a continuous
basis for the period requested (a "Shelf Registration"). In the event of such a
Shelf Registration, the Company shall be entitled to require that a Holder or
Holders refrain from effecting any public sales or distributions of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a registration statement, if the Board reasonably
determines that such public sales or distributions would interfere in any
material respect with any transaction involving the Company that the Board
reasonably determines to be material to the Company. The Board shall, as
promptly as practicable, give the Holders written notice of any such
development. In the event of a request by the Board that Holders refrain from
effecting any public sales or distributions of Registrable Securities, the
Company shall be required to lift such restrictions regarding effecting public
sales or distributions of Registrable Securities as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Board shall reasonably determine public sales or
distributions by Holders shall not interfere with such transaction, provided,
that in no event shall any requirement that Holders refrain from effecting
public sales or distributions of Registrable Securities extend for more than 90
days in any twelve month period.

            (d) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall be
obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(a)
on behalf of each Demand Right Holder, both of which may be a Shelf
Registration; provided that each of such registrations shall involve the offer
and sale of Registrable Securities in an amount estimated by the Demand Right
Holder in good faith to result in net proceeds to such Demand Right Holder of
not less than $75,000,000. A Registration shall be effected for purposes of this
Section 2.2(d) when and if a registration statement is declared effective by the
SEC and the distribution of

                                       6
<PAGE>

securities thereunder has been completed without the occurrence of any stop
order or proceeding relating thereto suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration.

            (e) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall
furnish to the requesting Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the
Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders
for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the
right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after
receipt of the request of the Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or 2.2(b), as
the case may be; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right
more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

            (f) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with any
registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, including without limitation all
federal and "blue sky" registration, filing and qualification fees, printer's
and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and fees
and expenses of one counsel for the Holders (selected by the Majority Holder(s))
shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based
on the total number of Registrable Securities sold in such registration other
than for the account of the Company) of all discounts, commissions or other
amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering by
the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to
pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this
Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request
of the Majority Holder(s), unless the Majority Holder(s) agrees that such
registration constitutes the use by it of one (1) demand registration pursuant
to this Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(b), respectively; provided, however, that
if at the time of such withdrawal, such Majority Holder(s) has learned of a
material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company
not known to such Majority Holder(s) at the time of its request for such
registration and has withdrawn its request for registration with reasonable
promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Company
shall be required to pay all such expenses and such registration shall not
constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.

      2.3 Piggyback Registrations.

            (a) The Company shall promptly notify all Holders in writing (a
"Piggyback Notice") prior to filing any registration statement under the
Securities Act for purposes of effecting an offering of securities of the
Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to the
initial or secondary public offerings of securities of the Company, whether
pursuant to Section 2.2 or otherwise, but excluding registration statements
relating to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and subject
to Section 2.3(b), the Company will afford each such Holder an opportunity to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder shall within ten (10) days after receipt of the Piggyback Notice so
notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of
the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such
registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its
Registrable Securities in any such registration statement, such Holder shall

                                       7
<PAGE>

nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in
any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed
by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

            (b) Underwriting. If a registration statement referred to in the
Piggyback Notice is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so
advise the Holders. In such event, the right of any such Holder to include
Registrable Securities in such a Registration shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting as provided in this Agreement. All
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company for such
underwriting. With respect to the Company's Initial Public Offering or any other
offering in which the Company, the AMCI Parties, and/or the FRC Parties are
selling securities pursuant to a registration statement requiring notice to
Holders of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.3, all Holders, whether
or not they are participating in such offering, hereby agree not to effect any
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or conveyance of (including, without
limitation, taking any short position in) Registrable Securities (or any
securities of the Company exchangeable or convertible into Registrable
Securities) during the Lock-up Period beginning on the effective date of such
registration statement filed by the Company, except as part of that
registration; provided, however, that, with respect to offerings other than the
Company's Initial Public Offering, Holders who beneficially own less than 1% of
the Registrable Securities Then Outstanding shall not be subject to the Lock-up
Period unless so required by the managing underwriter and, in such case, the
Lock-up Period shall be reduced to a 90-day period beginning on the effective
date of such registration statement (or such longer period as the sole
underwriter or lead managing underwriter(s) may request in connection with the
requirements of applicable NYSE or NASD rules). Each Holder agrees to enter into
customary lock-up agreements with an underwriter consistent with the terms of
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the
Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would
otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the managing
underwriter(s) may exclude shares of the Registrable Securities from the
registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that will be
included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated as set
forth in Section 2.2, or, if the underwriting is not pursuant to Section 2.2,
first to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of
their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis
based on the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such
Holder. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such
Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration. The defined term "Holder" shall be construed for purposes of this
Section 2.3(b) in the same manner as set forth in the last sentence of Section
2.2(b).

            (c) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a
registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (excluding underwriters' and brokers'
discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders), including,
without limitation all federal and "blue sky"

                                       8
<PAGE>

registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees
and disbursements of counsel for Holders (selected by the Majority Holder(s)),
and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the
Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section
2.3 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the total number of
shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of
all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers
in connection with such offering by the Holders.

            (d) Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Section
2.3 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.2,
unless the participating Holders holding a majority of Registrable Securities
being registered specifically elect otherwise in writing. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, there shall be no limit on the number of times the
Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section
2.3.

            (e) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to terminate
or withdraw any registration statement initiated by it (other than in response
to a Demand Notice under Section 2.2) prior to the effectiveness of such
registration statement whether or not any Holder has elected to include his, her
or its Registrable Securities in such registration statement.

            (f) Shelf Registrations. In the event the registration pursuant to
this Section 2.3 is a Shelf Registration, the Holders requesting inclusion in
such registration pursuant to Section 2.3(a) shall comply with the provisions of
Section 2.2(c).

      2.4 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

            (a) Registration Statement. Subject to the requirements of Section
2.2(e), prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to
such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become effective and to keep any such registration statement
effective for so long as required by the Securities Act to complete the
distribution.

            (b) Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such registration statement.

            (c) Prospectuses. Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

            (d) Blue Sky. Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Majority Holder(s); provided that the Company shall not be required in

file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions.

            (e) Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual
and customary form (including indemnification provisions), with the managing
underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting
shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

            (f) Notification. Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of
any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration
statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated in such registration
statement or necessary to make the statements in such registration statement not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. In addition, the
Company shall promptly notify each Holder and each underwriter, broker, dealer
and placement agent participating in any offering or sale or other distribution
of securities covered by such registration statement of the issuance or
threatened issuance of any order suspending the registration or qualification of
any Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement for
disposition in any jurisdiction; use its commercially reasonable efforts to
prevent the issuance of any such threatened order and, if any such order is
issued, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting or
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and promptly notify
each Holder and each such underwriter, broker, dealer and placement agent of any
lifting or withdrawal.

            (g) Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of any
Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities or of any underwriter
in connection herewith, on the date or dates requested by such Holder, (i) an
opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to
the Majority Holder(s), addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "comfort"
letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants
of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent
certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering
and reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holder(s), addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable
Securities.

            (h) Road Shows. To the extent reasonably requested by the Majority
Holder(s), cause the appropriate members of the management and employees of the
Company to participate in meetings, diligence sessions, and road shows.

            (i) Maintenance of Listed Status. Following its Initial Public
Offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to (i) cause all Registrable
Securities to be listed on the securities exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Company's Common Stock is

                                       10
<PAGE>

initially listed; and (ii) to maintain its status as a listed company on such
exchange or quotation system. In the event the Company should be de-listed from
such exchange or quotation system, the Company shall use its best efforts to
regain its status as a listed company on such exchange or quotation system as
promptly as is reasonably possible.

            (j) Additional Actions. Take all other actions which are reasonably
necessary or which may be reasonably requested by the Holders, or any
underwriter, broker, dealer or placement agent participating in any offering or
sale or other distribution of securities covered by such registration statement
to effect the registration and qualification of the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and to facilitate the disposition thereof
in accordance with the respective plans of distribution of the selling Holders.

      2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3
that the participating Holders shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended
method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably requested by the
Company or otherwise required to timely effect the registration of their
Registrable Securities.

      2.6 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included
in a registration statement under Sections 2.2 or 2.3:

            (a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each participating Holder, the partners, officers
and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities
Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements,
omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"):

                  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
            material fact contained in such registration statement, including
            any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or
            any amendments or supplements thereto;

                  (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the
            registration statement a material fact required to be stated in the
            registration statement, or necessary to make the statements in the
            registration statement not misleading, or

                  (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
            Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any federal or state securities law or
            any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the
            1934 Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with
            the offering covered by such registration statement;

and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, officer or director,
underwriter or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them, as incurred, in

                                       11
<PAGE>

connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this subsection 2.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is
based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by such Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter or
controlling Person of any such Person.

            (b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration
statement or any of such other Holder's partners, directors or officers or any
Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or
several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling Person,
underwriter or other such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling
Person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based
upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that
such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder concerning such Holder expressly for use in
connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director,
officer, controlling Person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, officer,
director or controlling Person of such other Holder in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action:
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection
2.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided,
further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this
Section 2.6(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds
received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation
arises.

            (c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section 2.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.6, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other
party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall relieve such

                                       12
<PAGE>

indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.6
to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result thereof, but the
omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnified party will not relieve
it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
under this Section 2.6.

            (d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity
agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar
as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated
or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the
registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus
filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Person if a copy of
the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party, was not
furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or
prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act, and the
furnishing of such Final Prospectus as so required would have eliminated
liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

            (e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which
either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling
Person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 2.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.6 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act
may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling
Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section
2.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to
the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be
subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such Holder
is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under the
registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by and sold under such registration statement, and the Company and other
selling Holders are responsible for the remaining portion; provided, however,
that, in any such case: (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities
offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; (B) no
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person or
entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (C) in
determining relative fault, due consideration shall be given to the source of
any written information furnished by a Holder concerning such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration

            (f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 2.6 shall survive until the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of
the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation or extensions of such
statutes or (ii) the termination of First Reserve Fund IX, L.P.

      2.7 Rule 144 Reporting; S-3 Eligibility. With a view to making available
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time
permit the sale of "restricted

                                       13
<PAGE>

securities" (used in this Agreement as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
Act) to the public without registration, and to be eligible to use Form S-3, the
Company agrees to:

documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
(at all times during which the Company is subject to such reporting
requirements); and

            (c) so long as any Holder owns any Restricted Securities, to furnish
to such Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 and with regard
to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at all times during which the
Company is subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents
of the Company and other information in the possession of or reasonably
obtainable by the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing
itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such Holder to sell any
such securities without registration.

      2.8 Impact of Merger. In the event the Company merges with or into another
entity, the terms of this Section 2 shall apply to any equity received by the
Holders in connection with the merger in exchange for the Common Stock or other
Registrable Securities held by such Holders immediately prior to the
consummation of the merger.

      2.9 Termination of the Company's Obligations. The Company shall have no
obligations pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3 with respect to any Registrable
Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section
2.2 or 2.3 if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company, addressed to
such Holder, all such Registrable Securities held by such Holder could be sold
under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act in a single transaction.

      3. TRANSFERS, ASSIGNMENT, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

      3.1 Limitation on Transfers. Each Stockholder's right to directly or
indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of any economic, voting
or other rights in or to any equity interest in shares of the capital stock of

be bound

                                       14
<PAGE>

Holder under Section 2.2 of this Agreement may be assigned in connection with
any Transfers of not less than 10% of the Registrable Securities Then

the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular
instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of
Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock held by Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if a particular Stockholder
(or discrete group of Stockholders) would be materially and disproportionately
(vis a vis other Stockholders) prejudiced thereby, unless such stockholder (or a
majority of shares of such group of Stockholders) consents in writing to such
amendment or waiver and (ii) no amendment shall be made to Sections 1.1(a),
1.1(b), 1.1(f), 1.1(g), 1.1(h), 1.2, 1.3, 3.3(a) and 3.3(b), unless both the FRC
Parties and the AMCI Parties consent to the amendment. The consent of the FRC
Parties or the AMCI Parties, as the case may be, required by clause (ii) of the

shares of Common Stock or the if FRC Parties and the their Affiliates and the
AMCI Parties and their Affiliates no longer hold 30% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock in the aggregate. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 3.3 shall be binding upon the Stockholders, each Holder, each
permitted successor or assignee of such Stockholder or Holder and the Company;
provided that the rights under Section 2 shall terminate only as set forth in
Section 2.

            (b) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with the written
consent of Stockholders holding not less than a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock held

                                       15
<PAGE>

by Stockholders; provided that if such termination is in connection with any
transaction which would have resulted in a Stockholder having rights under
Sections 2.3 of the Agreement, such Stockholder, notwithstanding the
termination, shall be entitled to exercise any rights provided to him, her or it
under such Section(s).

4. RESTRICTED EMPLOYEE SHARES.

      4.1 General. Each Employee Stockholder agrees that (a) none of his
Restricted Employee Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of until they have vested in accordance with
this Section 4 and (b) any Restricted Employee Shares that are not vested in

Stockholder's employment with the Company and all of its subsidiaries and
Affiliates shall be forfeited to the Company immediately upon such termination.

      4.2 Vesting. (a) Restricted Employee Shares shall vest in accordance with

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                PERCENTAGE OF

December 31, 2006                   100%
</TABLE>

Any percentage of vested shares shall be applied to the number of Restricted
Employee Shares initially held by an Employee Stockholder (as such number is
equitably adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions) and shall be applied by rounding up to the nearest whole share.

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, (1) the
percentage of Restricted Employee Shares that shall be deemed to be vested for

as a result of the voluntarily resignation of such Employee Stockholder within
one year of the date an Employment Agreement with such Employee Stockholder

(2) if a Change of Control occurs, then the percentage of Restricted Employee

<PAGE>

agreement, cause as defined by the Company's employment policies in effect at
the time of termination. Termination of employment as a result of death shall
not constitute Cause.

            (b) The term "Change of Control" shall mean (i) any merger,
consolidation or business combination in which the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or business combination do not
own at least a majority of the outstanding equity interests of the surviving
parent entity, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's
assets, (iii) the acquisition of beneficial ownership or control of (including,

Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other than a group consisting of one or
more of the Stockholders), (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
(v) a contested election of directors, as a result of which or in connection
with which the persons who were directors of the Company before such election or
their nominees cease to constitute a majority of the Board, or (vi) any other
event specified by the Board or a committee designated by the Board.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, no transaction shall be considered to have
effected a Change of Control if (i) a majority of the equity interests of the
surviving parent entity is owned directly or indirectly by the AMCI Parties
and/or by one or more private equity funds controlled by First Reserve
Corporation or its Affiliates or (ii) entities controlled by the AMCI Parties
and/or by one or more private equity funds controlled by First Reserve
Corporation or its Affiliates have the right to appoint a majority of the board

            (c) The term "Permanent Disability" shall mean shall mean Employee's

Company.

            (d) The term "Retirement" shall mean either (a) the Employee
Stockholder's retirement at or after normal retirement age (either voluntarily
or pursuant to the Company's retirement policy) or (b) the voluntary termination
of Employee Stockholder's employment by the Employee Stockholder in accordance
with the Company's early retirement policy.

            (e) The term "Restricted Employee Shares" shall mean those shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company to the Employee Stockholders that are

            (f) The term "Vesting Percentage" shall mean a number expressed as

months (rounded to the nearest whole number) from December 31, 2004 until the
date of the Employee Stockholder's termination of employment with the Company
and its subsidiaries and Affiliates, by (ii) 24. For example, if the date of
termination occurs between March 16, 2006 and April 14, 2006, then the Vesting
Percentage will be approximately 63% (15 full months from December 31, 2004
until the termination date, divided by 24).

      4.4 Section 83(b) Election. Each Employee Stockholder agrees that, within
30 days after the Effective Date, he will make an effective election with
respect to his Restricted Employee Shares with the Internal Revenue Service
under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue

                                       17
<PAGE>

Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D.

      4.5 Rights as Stockholder. No Employee Stockholder shall have rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Restricted Employee Shares until a stock
certificate for the shares is issued in Employee Stockholder's name, except that
any cash dividends paid on Restricted Employee Shares shall be paid to the
Employee Stockholder and shall not be subject to forfeiture. The Company shall
hold all stock certificates evidencing, in whole or in part, any Restricted
Employee Shares that have not vested and, upon any forfeiture of Restricted
Employee Shares pursuant to this Section 4, the Company may take appropriate
action to cancel such stock certificate (and, if appropriate, reissue a stock
certificate to Employee Stockholder evidencing only the vested shares). Once any
such stock certificate is issued in Employee Stockholder's name, the Employee
Stockholder shall be entitled to all rights associated with ownership of the
Restricted Employee Shares, except that the Restricted Employee Shares will
remain subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and if any
additional shares of Common Stock become issuable on the basis of such
Restricted Employee Shares (e.g., a stock split or dividend), any such
additional shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of
Restricted Employee Shares to which they relate.

5. LEGEND.

            Each certificate representing shares of capital stock of the Company
now or hereafter owned by a Stockholder shall be endorsed with the following

                         ALPHA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC.

                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                         2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

                              ___________ __, 2005

      On ___________ __, 2005, Alpha Natural Resources, LLC and certain related
entities effected a reorganization in connection with an initial public offering
of equity of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. As a result, all Awards granted under
the 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Alpha Coal Management, LLC (the "Original
Plan") are automatically converted into Awards issued by Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc., pursuant to and in accordance with Section 13 of the Original
Plan. Pursuant to such conversion, each Award outstanding as of the date of this
Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Alpha Natural Resources,
Inc. (the "Revised Plan") and exercisable for one Unit (as defined in the
Original Plan) is being converted into a Stock Option (as defined below) under
the Revised Plan exercisable for _____ Common Shares. This Revised Plan amends
and restates the Original Plan to reflect the necessary changes in the Original
Plan reasonably required in order to evidence such conversion and
reorganization.

      SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to advance the interests
of Alpha and its stockholders by providing incentives to certain Eligible
Persons who contribute significantly to the strategic and long-term performance
objectives and growth of the Company.

      SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. Certain capitalized terms applicable to this Plan
are set forth in Appendix A.

      SECTION 3. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of
this Plan, such powers to include exclusive authority to select the Eligible
Persons to be granted Awards under this Plan, to determine the type, size, terms
and conditions of the Award to be made to each Eligible Person selected, to
modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award that has been granted, to
determine the time when Awards will be granted, to establish performance
objectives, to make any adjustments necessary or desirable as a result of the
granting of Awards to Eligible Persons located outside the United States and to
prescribe the form of the agreements evidencing Awards made under this Plan.
Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under this Plan in
assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding Awards previously granted by
(i) the Company, (ii) any predecessor of the Company, or (iii) a company
acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines. The number of Common
Shares underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the aggregate
number of Common Shares available for Awards under this Plan.

      The Committee is authorized to interpret this Plan and the Awards granted
under this Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations
relating to this Plan, and to make any other determinations that it deems
necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan. The Committee may
correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in
any Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems necessary or
desirable to carry it into effect. Any decision of the Committee in the
interpretation and administration of this Plan, as described in this Plan, shall
lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all parties concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants
and their Beneficiaries or Permitted Transferees). The Committee may act only by
a majority of its members in office, except that the members thereof may
authorize any one or more of their members or any officer of the Company to
execute and deliver

<PAGE>

documents or to take any other ministerial action on behalf of the Committee
with respect to Awards made or to be made to Participants.

      No member of the Committee and no officer of the Company shall be liable
for anything done or omitted to be done by such member or officer, by any other
member of the Committee or by any other officer of the Company in connection
with the performance of duties under this Plan, except for his or her own
willful misconduct or as expressly provided by statute. In addition to all other
rights of indemnification and reimbursement to which a member of the Committee
and an officer of the Company may be entitled, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless each such member or officer who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding or suit in
connection with the performance of duties under this Plan against expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, liabilities, losses
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such proceeding or suit, except for his or her own willful
misconduct or as expressly provided otherwise by statute. Expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by such a member or officer in defending
any such proceeding or suit shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of such proceeding or suit upon receipt of a written affirmation by
such member or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking
by or on behalf of such member or officer to repay such amount if it shall
ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the
Company as authorized in this Section.

      SECTION 4. PARTICIPATION. Consistent with the purposes of this Plan, the
Committee shall have exclusive power to select the Eligible Persons who may
participate in this Plan and be granted Awards under this Plan. Eligible Persons
may be selected individually or by groups or categories, as determined by the
Committee in its discretion.

      SECTION 5. AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN.

            (a) Types of Awards. Awards under this Plan may include, but need
      not be limited to, one or more of the following types, either alone or in
      any combination thereof: (i) Stock Options, (ii) Stock Appreciation
      Rights, (iii) Restricted Stock, (iv) Restricted Stock Units, (v)
      Performance Grants and (vi) any other type of Award deemed by the
      Committee in its discretion to be consistent with the purposes of this
      Plan (including, but not limited to, Associated Awards, Awards of or
      options or similar rights granted with respect to unbundled stock units or
      components thereof, and Awards to be made to Participants who are foreign
      nationals or are employed or performing services outside the United
      States). In the case of an Award granted in conjunction with an Associated
      Award, the Award may be reduced on an appropriate basis to the extent that
      the Associated Award has been exercised, paid to or otherwise received by
      the Participant, as determined by the Committee.

            (b) Maximum Number of Common Shares that May be Issued. There may be
      issued under this Plan (as Restricted Stock, as Restricted Stock Units, in
      payment of Performance Grants, pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options
      or Stock Appreciation Rights or in payment of or pursuant to the exercise
      of such other Awards as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine)
      an aggregate of not more than ____________ Common Shares, subject to
      adjustment as provided in Section 15. No Eligible Person may receive
      Awards under this Plan for more than _______ Common Shares in any one
      fiscal year of Alpha, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.
      Common Shares issued pursuant to this Plan may be either authorized but
      unissued shares, treasury shares, reacquired shares or any combination
      thereof. If any Common Shares issued as Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock
      Units or otherwise subject to repurchase or forfeiture rights are
      reacquired by the Company pursuant to such rights or, if any Award is
      canceled,

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

      terminates or expires unexercised, any Common Shares that would otherwise
      have been issuable pursuant to such Award will be available for issuance
      under new Awards.

            (c) Rights with Respect to Common Shares and Other Securities.
      Except as provided in subsection 8(c) with respect to Awards of Restricted
      Stock and unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion,
      a Participant to whom an Award is made (and any Person succeeding to such
      a Participant's rights pursuant to this Plan) shall have no rights as a
      stockholder with respect to any Common Shares or as a holder with respect
      to other securities, if any, issuable pursuant to any such Award until the
      date a stock certificate evidencing such Common Shares or other instrument
      of ownership is issued to such Participant. Except as provided in Section
      8 or Section 15, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions
      or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash,
      securities, other property or other forms of consideration, or any
      combination thereof) for which the record date is prior to the date such
      stock certificate or other instrument of ownership, if any, is issued. A
      Participant holding an Award providing for the issuance of Common Shares
      in the future shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to such
      Common Shares until a stock certificate representing such Common Shares is
      issued to such Participant.

      SECTION 6. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Stock Options or sell
Purchased Options; provided that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only
to Eligible Persons who are employees of Alpha or any parent or subsidiary of
Alpha and provided further that Participants who have Associated Awards may not
receive Incentive Stock Options if such Associated Awards disqualify the
Incentive Stock Option's status as such under the Code. Each Stock Option
granted or sold under this Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form
as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in accordance with this Plan
and shall comply with the applicable terms and conditions of this Section and
this Plan, and with such other terms and conditions, including, but not limited
to, restrictions upon the Stock Option or the Common Shares issuable upon
exercise thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish.

            (a) The exercise price of a Stock Option may be less than, equal to,
      or greater than, the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to
      such Stock Option at the time the Stock Option is granted, as determined
      by the Committee; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive
      Stock Option granted to an employee of Alpha or any parent or subsidiary
      of Alpha, the exercise price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value
      of the Common Shares subject to such Stock Option at the time the Stock
      Option is granted, or if granted to a Ten Percent Employee, such exercise
      price shall not be less than 110% of such Fair Market Value at the time
      the Stock Option is granted. In no event, however, will the exercise price
      per share of a Stock Option be less than the par value per share of a
      Common Share.

            (b) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares to be
      subject to each Stock Option.

            (c) Any Stock Option may be exercised during its term only at such
      time or times and in such installments as the Committee may establish.

            (d) A Stock Option shall not be exercisable:

                  (i) in the case of any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
            Percent Employee, after the expiration of five years from the date
            it is granted, and, in the case of any other Stock Option, after the
            expiration of ten years from the date it is granted; and

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) unless payment in full is made for the shares being
            acquired under such Stock Option at the time of exercise as provided
            in subsection 6(i).

            (e) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in
      each agreement evidencing a Stock Option the effect, if any, the
      termination of the Participant's employment with or performance of
      services for the Company shall have on the exercisability of the Stock
      Option; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option that is
      exercised at a time that is beyond the time an Incentive Stock Option may
      be exercised in order to qualify as such under the Code shall cease to be
      an Incentive Stock Option.

            (f) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the amount of the
      aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Shares (determined at the time of
      grant of the Stock Option) with respect to which incentive stock options
      are exercisable for the first time by an employee of the Company during
      any calendar year (under all such plans of his or her employer corporation
      and its parent and subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000 or
      such other amount as is specified in the Code.

            (g) It is the intent of Alpha that Nonqualified Stock Options
      granted under this Plan not be classified as Incentive Stock Options, that
      the Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan be consistent with and
      contain or be deemed to contain all provisions required under Section 422
      and the other appropriate provisions of the Code and any implementing
      regulations (and any successor provisions thereof), and that any
      ambiguities in construction shall be interpreted in order to effectuate
      such intent. If a Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock
      Option, and if for any reason such Stock Option (or portion thereof) shall
      not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such
      nonqualification, such Stock Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded
      as a Nonqualified Stock Option granted under this Plan; provided that such
      Stock Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with this Plan's
      requirements relating to Nonqualified Stock Options. In no event shall any
      member of the Committee or the Company (or its employees, officers or
      directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other Person) due
      to the failure of a Stock Option to qualify for any reason as an Incentive
      Stock Option.

            (h) A Purchased Option may contain such additional terms not
      inconsistent with this Plan, including but not limited to the
      circumstances under which the purchase price of such Purchased Option may
      be returned to the holder of the Purchased Option, as the Committee may
      determine in its sole discretion.

            (i) For purposes of payments made to exercise Stock Options, such
      payment shall be made in such form (including, but not limited to, cash,
      Common Shares, the surrender of another outstanding Award under this Plan
      or any combination thereof) as the Committee may determine in its
      discretion; provided, however, that, for purposes of making such payment
      in Common Shares, such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value
      on the day of exercise and unless the Committee determines otherwise shall
      have been held by the Participant for a period of at least six (6) months.

      SECTION 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may grant Stock
Appreciation Rights. Each Award of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this
Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the Committee shall
prescribe from time to time in accordance with this Plan and shall comply with
the applicable terms and conditions of this Section and this Plan, and with such
other terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, restrictions upon the
Award of Stock Appreciation Rights or the Common Shares issuable upon exercise
thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

            (a) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares to be
      subject to each Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.

            (b) Any Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised during its term
      only at such time or times and in such installments as the Committee may
      establish.

            (c) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in
      each agreement evidencing an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights the
      effect, if any, the termination of the Participant's employment with or
      performance of services for the Company shall have on the exercisability
      of the Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.

            (d) An Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the holder
      to exercise such Award or to surrender unexercised an Associated Award (or
      any portion of such Associated Award) to Alpha and to receive from Alpha
      in exchange thereof, without payment to Alpha, that number of Common
      Shares having an aggregate value equal to (or, in the discretion of the
      Committee, less than) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Common
      Share, at the time of such exercise, over the exercise price, times the
      number of Common Shares subject to the Award or the Associated Award, or
      portion thereof, that is so exercised or surrendered, as the case may be.
      The Committee shall be entitled in its discretion to elect to settle the
      obligation arising out of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right by
      the payment of cash or Other Alpha Securities or property, or other forms
      of payment or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee,
      equal to the aggregate value of the Common Shares it would otherwise be
      obligated to deliver. Any such election by the Committee shall be made as
      soon as practicable after the receipt by the Committee of written notice
      of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

            (e) A Stock Appreciation Right may provide that it shall be deemed
      to have been exercised at the close of business on the business day
      preceding the expiration date of the Stock Appreciation Right or of the
      related Stock Option (or other Award), or such other date as specified by
      the Committee, if at such time such Stock Appreciation Right has a
      positive value. Such deemed exercise shall be settled or paid in the same
      manner as a regular exercise thereof as provided in subsection 7(d) of
      this Agreement.

      SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS. The Committee may
grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Each Award of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under this Plan shall be evidenced by
an agreement in such form as the Committee shall prescribe from time to time in
accordance with this Plan and shall comply with the applicable terms and
conditions of this Section and this Plan, and with such other terms and
conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish.

            (a) The Committee shall determine the number of Common Shares to be
      issued to a Participant pursuant to the Award of Restricted Stock or
      Restricted Stock Units, and the extent, if any, to which they shall be
      issued in exchange for cash, other consideration, or both.

            (b) Until the expiration of such period as the Committee shall
      determine from the date on which the Award is granted and subject to such
      other terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion shall
      establish (the "RESTRICTED PERIOD"), a Participant to whom an Award of
      Restricted Stock is made shall be issued, but shall not be entitled to the
      delivery of, a stock certificate representing the Common Shares subject to
      such Award.

            (c) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its discretion,
      a Participant to whom an Award of Restricted Stock has been made (and any
      Person succeeding to such a Participant's rights pursuant to this Plan)
      shall have, after issuance of a certificate for the number

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

      of Common Shares awarded and prior to the expiration of the Restricted
      Period, ownership of such Common Shares, including the right to vote such
      Common Shares and to receive dividends or other distributions made or paid
      with respect to such Common Shares (provided that such Common Shares, and
      any new, additional or different shares, or Other Alpha Securities or
      property, or other forms of consideration that the Participant may be
      entitled to receive with respect to such Common Shares as a result of a
      stock split, stock dividend or any other change in the corporation or
      capital structure of Alpha, shall be subject to the restrictions set forth
      in this Plan as determined by the Committee in its discretion), subject,
      however, to the options, restrictions and limitations imposed thereon
      pursuant to this Plan.

            (d) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in
      each agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
      Units the effect, if any, the termination of the Participant's employment
      with or performance of services for the Company during the Restricted
      Period shall have on such Award.

            (e) The Committee may grant Associated Awards of Dividend
      Equivalents to Participants in connection with Awards of Restricted Stock
      Units. The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that
      Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be
      deemed to have been reinvested in additional Common Shares, or other
      investment vehicles as the Committee may specify; provided that, unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee, Dividend Equivalents shall be
      subject to all conditions and restrictions of the underlying Restricted
      Stock Units to which they relate.

      SECTION 9. PERFORMANCE GRANTS. The Committee may grant Awards of
Performance Grants. The Award of a Performance Grant to a Participant will
entitle him or her to receive a specified amount determined by the Committee
(the "ACTUAL VALUE"), if the terms and conditions specified in this Plan and in
the Award are satisfied. Each Award of a Performance Grant shall be subject to
the applicable terms and conditions of this Section and this Plan, and to such
other terms and conditions, including but not limited to, restrictions upon any
cash, Common Shares, Other Alpha Securities or property, or other forms of
payment, or any combination thereof, issued with respect to the Performance
Grant, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish, and shall be
evidenced in an agreement in such form and substance as is determined by the
Committee.

            (a) The Committee shall determine the value or range of values of a
      Performance Grant to be awarded to each Participant selected for an Award
      and whether or not such a Performance Grant is granted in conjunction with
      an Associated Award. As determined by the Committee, the maximum value of
      each Performance Grant (the "MAXIMUM VALUE") shall be: (i) an amount fixed
      by the Committee at the time the Award is made or amended thereafter, (ii)
      an amount that varies from time to time based in whole or in part on the
      then current value of the Common Shares, Other Alpha Securities or
      property, or other securities or property, or any combination thereof or
      (iii) an amount that is determinable from criteria specified by the
      Committee. Performance Grants may be issued in different classes or series
      having different names, terms and conditions.

            (b) The award period ("AWARD PERIOD") related to any Performance
      Grant shall be a period determined by the Committee. At the time each
      Award is made or within the first 90 days of any performance period, the
      Committee shall establish performance objectives to be attained within the
      Award Period as the means of determining the Actual Value of such a
      Performance Grant. The performance objectives shall be based on such
      measure or measures of performance, which may include, but need not be
      limited to, the performance of the Participant, the Company or one or more
      of its divisions or units, or any combination of the foregoing, as the
      Committee shall determine, and may be applied on an absolute basis or be
      relative to industry or other indices

                                      -6-

      or any combination thereof. The Actual Value of a Performance Grant shall
      be equal to its Maximum Value only if the performance objectives are
      attained in full, but the Committee shall specify the manner in which the
      Actual Value of Performance Grants shall be determined if the performance
      objectives are met in part. Such performance measures, the Actual Value or
      the Maximum Value, or any combination thereof, may be adjusted in any
      manner by the Committee in its discretion at any time and from time to
      time during or as soon as practicable after the Award Period, if it
      determines that such performance measures, the Actual Value or the Maximum
      Value, or any combination thereof, are not appropriate under the
      circumstances.

            (c) The Committee shall determine in its discretion and specify in
      each agreement evidencing a Performance Grant the effect, if any, the
      termination of the Participant's employment with or performance of
      services for the Company during the Award Period shall have on such
      Performance Grant.

            (d) The Committee shall determine whether the conditions of a
      Performance Grant have been met and, if so, shall ascertain the Actual
      Value of the Performance Grant. If the Performance Grant has no Actual
      Value, the Award and such Performance Grant shall be deemed to have been
      canceled and the Associated Award, if any, may be canceled or permitted to
      continue in effect in accordance with its terms. If the Performance Grant
      has any Actual Value and:

                  (i) was not awarded in conjunction with an Associated Award,
            the Committee shall cause an amount equal to the Actual Value of the
            Performance Grant earned by the Participant to be paid to him or her
            or such Participant's Permitted Transferee or Beneficiary; or

                  (ii) was awarded in conjunction with an Associated Award, the
            Committee shall determine, in accordance with criteria specified by
            the Committee (A) to cancel the Performance Grant, in which event no
            amount with respect to such Performance Grant shall be paid to the
            Participant or his or her Permitted Transferee or Beneficiary, and
            the Associated Award may be permitted to continue in effect in
            accordance with its terms, (B) to pay the Actual Value of the
            Performance Grant to the Participant or his or her Permitted
            Transferee or Beneficiary as provided below, in which event the
            Associated Award may be canceled or (C) to pay to the Participant or
            his or her Beneficiary, the Actual Value of only a portion of the
            Performance Grants, in which event all or a portion of the
            Associated Award may be permitted to continue in effect in
            accordance with its terms or be canceled, as determined by the
            Committee.

            Such determination by the Committee shall be made as promptly as
      practicable following the end of the Award Period or upon the earlier
      termination of employment or performance of services, or at such other
      time or times as the Committee shall determine, and shall be made pursuant
      to criteria specified by the Committee.

            (e) Payment of any amount with respect to the Performance Grants
      that the Committee determines to pay as provided above shall be made by
      Alpha as promptly as practicable after the end of the Award Period or at
      such other time or times as the Committee shall determine, and may be made
      in cash, Common Shares, Other Alpha Securities or property, or other forms
      of payment, or any combination thereof or in such other manner, as
      determined by the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding anything in
      this Section to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion,
      determine and pay out the Actual Value of any Performance Grant at any
      time during the Award Period, provided that such authority or action does
      not result

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

      in an adverse tax impact on the Participant holding such Performance Grant
      or on any other Participant.

      SECTION 10. DEFERRAL OF COMPENSATION. The Committee shall determine
whether or not an Award shall be made in conjunction with the deferral of the
Participant's salary, bonus or other compensation, or any combination thereof,
and whether or not such deferred amounts may be:

            (a) forfeited to the Company or to other Participants or any
      combination thereof, under certain circumstances (which may include, but
      need not be limited to, certain types of termination of employment or
      performance of services for the Company);

            (b) subject to increase or decrease in value based upon the
      attainment of or failure to attain, respectively, certain performance
      measures; and/or

            (c) credited with income equivalents (which may include, but need
      not be limited to, interest, dividends or other rates of return) until the
      date or dates of payment of the Award, if any.

      SECTION 11. DEFERRED PAYMENT OF AWARDS. The Committee may specify that the
payment of all or any portion of cash, Common Shares, Other Alpha Securities or
property, or any other form of payment, or any combination thereof, under an
Award shall be deferred until a later date. Deferrals shall be for such periods
or until the occurrence of such events, and upon such terms, as the Committee
shall determine in its discretion. Deferred payments of Awards may be made by
undertaking to make payment in the future based upon the performance of certain
investment equivalents (which may include, but need not be limited to,
government securities, Common Shares, other securities, property or
consideration, or any combination thereof), together with such additional
amounts of income equivalents (which may be compounded and may include, but need
not be limited to, interest, dividends or other rates of return or any
combination thereof) as may accrue thereon until the date or dates of payment,
such investment equivalents and such additional amounts of income equivalents to
be determined by the Committee in its discretion.

      SECTION 12. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. A Participant's rights and interest
under this Plan or any Award may not be assigned or transferred, hypothecated or
encumbered in whole or in part either directly or by operation of law or
otherwise, including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy,
garnishment, attachment, pledge, bankruptcy or in any other manner; provided,
however, the Committee may permit such transfer to a Permitted Transferee; and
provided, further, that, unless otherwise permitted by the Code, any Incentive
Stock Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not be transferable other than
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable
during the Participant's lifetime only by Participant or by such Permitted
Transferee.

      SECTION 13. AMENDMENT OR SUBSTITUTION OF AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN. The terms
of any outstanding Award under this Plan may be amended or modified from time to
time by the Committee in its discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate
(including, but not limited to, acceleration of the date of exercise of any
Award and/or payments under any Award) if the Committee could grant such amended
or modified Award under the terms of this Plan at the time of such amendment or
modification; provided that no such amendment or modification shall adversely
affect in a material manner any right of a Participant under the Award without
his or her written consent. The Committee may, in its discretion, permit holders
of Awards under this Plan to surrender outstanding Awards in order to exercise
or realize the rights under other Awards, or in exchange for the grant of new
Awards, or require holders of Awards to surrender outstanding Awards as a
condition precedent to the grant of new Awards under this Plan.

      SECTION 14. TERMINATION OF A PARTICIPANT. For all purposes under this
Plan, the Committee shall determine whether a Participant has terminated
employment with, or the performance of services for, the

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Company; provided, however, an absence or leave approved by the Company, to the
extent permitted by applicable provisions of the Code, shall not be considered
an interruption of employment or performance of services for any purpose under
this Plan.

      SECTION 15. DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. If any change in the
outstanding Common Shares occurs by reason of any stock split of or stock
dividend on the Common Shares, then, except as otherwise determined by the
Committee without liability to any Person, the terms of any outstanding Awards
shall be equitably adjusted in the manner determined by the Committee without
liability to any Person. If any change in the outstanding Common Shares occurs
by reason of any split-up, split-off, spin-off, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, rights offering, reorganization, combination or exchange of
shares, sale by the Company of all of its assets, distribution to stockholders
(other than a stock split or stock dividend as provided above or a normal cash
dividend on the Common Shares), or other extraordinary or unusual event, then
the Committee may determine, in its discretion and without liability to any
Person, to terminate all outstanding Awards immediately prior to the
consummation of any such event, to make an equitable adjustment in the terms of
any outstanding Award and/or the number of Common Shares available for Awards,
or to make no adjustments. Any such determination by the Committee may be set
forth in any agreement evidencing an Award. Any such termination or adjustment
made by the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes of
this Plan. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, all outstanding Awards
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of any dissolution or
liquidation of the Company.

      SECTION 16. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY BY PARTICIPANT. A Participant may
name a beneficiary to receive any payment to which such Participant may be
entitled with respect to any Award under this Plan in the event of his or her
death, on a written form to be provided by and filed with the Committee, and in
a manner determined by the Committee in its discretion (a "BENEFICIARY"). The
Committee reserves the right to review and approve Beneficiary designations. A
Participant may change his or her Beneficiary from time to time in the same
manner, unless such Participant has made an irrevocable designation. Any
designation of a Beneficiary under this Plan (to the extent it is valid and
enforceable under applicable law) shall be controlling over any other
disposition, testamentary or otherwise, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion. If no designated Beneficiary survives the Participant and is living
on the date on which any amount becomes payable to such a Participant's
Beneficiary, such payment will be made to the legal representatives of the
Participant's estate, and the term "BENEFICIARY" as used in this Plan shall be
deemed to include such Person or Persons. If there are any questions as to the
legal right of any Beneficiary to receive a distribution under this Plan, the
Committee in its discretion may determine that the amount in question be paid to
the legal representatives of the estate of the Participant, in which event the
Company, the Board, the Committee, the Designated Administrator (if any), and
the members thereof, will have no further liability to anyone with respect to
such amount.

      SECTION 17. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. If the Committee determines that such
action is advisable, the Company may assist any Participant in obtaining
financing from the Company (or under any program of the Company approved
pursuant to applicable law), or from a bank or other third party, on such terms
as are determined by the Committee, and in such amount as is required to
accomplish the purposes of this Plan, including, but not limited to, to permit
the exercise or receipt of an Award and/or the payment of any taxes with respect
to such Award. Such assistance may take any form that the Committee deems
appropriate, including, but not limited to, a direct loan from the Company, a
guarantee of the obligation by the Company or the maintenance by the Company of
deposits with such bank or third party.

      SECTION 18. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

            (a) Any proceeds from Awards shall constitute general funds of
      Alpha.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

            (b) No fractional shares may be delivered under an Award, but in
      lieu thereof a cash or other adjustment may be made as determined by the
      Committee in its discretion.

            (c) No Eligible Person or other Person shall have any claim or right
      to be granted an Award under this Plan. Determinations made by the
      Committee under this Plan need not be uniform and may be made selectively
      among Eligible Persons under this Plan, whether or not such Eligible
      Persons are similarly situated. Neither this Plan nor any action taken
      under this Plan shall be construed as giving any Eligible Person any right
      to continue to be employed by or perform services for the Company, and the
      right to terminate the employment of or performance of services by
      Eligible Persons at any time and for any reason is specifically reserved.

            (d) No Participant or other Person shall have any right with respect
      to this Plan, the Common Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan or
      in any Award, contingent or otherwise, until written evidence of the Award
      shall have been delivered to the Participant and all the terms, conditions
      and provisions of this Plan and the Award applicable to such Participant
      (and each Person claiming under or through such him or her) have been met.

            (e) No Common Shares, Other Alpha Securities or property, other
      securities or property or other forms of payment shall be issued under
      this Plan with respect to any Award unless counsel for Alpha shall be
      satisfied that such issuance will be in compliance with applicable law and
      any applicable rules of any stock exchange or other market quotation
      system on which Common Shares are listed.

            (f) It is the intent of Alpha that this Plan comply in all respects
      with Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m), that any ambiguities or
      inconsistencies in construction of this Plan be interpreted to give effect
      to such intention and that if any provision of this Plan is found not to
      be in compliance with Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m), such provision shall
      be deemed null and void. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee,
      with respect to Awards granted to executive officers of Alpha, such Awards
      shall be deemed to be automatically modified to the minimum extent
      required to permit such Awards to comply with Rule 16b-3 and Section
      162(m). It is also the intent of Alpha that this Plan comply in all
      respects with the provisions of the Code providing favorable treatment to
      Incentive Stock Options, that any ambiguities or inconsistencies in
      construction of this Plan be interpreted to give effect to such intention
      and that if any provision of this Plan is found not to be in compliance
      with the Incentive Stock Option provisions of the Code, such provision
      shall be deemed null and void with respect to Incentive Stock Options
      granted to employees of the Company to the extent required to permit such
      Incentive Stock Options to receive favorable treatment under the Code.

            (g) The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment made
      under this Plan any federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes
      required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. It shall be a
      condition to the obligation of Alpha to issue Common Shares, Other Alpha
      Securities or property, other securities or property, or other forms of
      payment, or any combination thereof, upon exercise, settlement or payment
      of any Award under this Plan, that the Participant (or any Beneficiary or
      Person entitled to act) pay to Alpha, upon its demand, such amount as may
      be required by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any liability to
      withhold federal, state, local or foreign income or other taxes. If the
      amount requested is not paid, Alpha may refuse to issue Common Shares,
      Other Alpha Securities or property, other securities or property, or other
      forms of payment, or any combination thereof. Notwithstanding anything in
      this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit an
      Eligible Person (or any Beneficiary or Person entitled to act) to elect to
      pay a portion or all of the amount requested by the Company for such taxes
      with respect to such Award, at such time and in such manner as the
      Committee shall deem to be appropriate (including, but not limited to, by

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

      authorizing Alpha to withhold, or agreeing to surrender to Alpha on or
      about the date such tax liability is determinable, Common Shares, Other
      Alpha Securities or property, other securities or property, or other forms
      of payment, or any combination thereof, owned by such Person or a portion
      of such forms of payment that would otherwise be distributed, or have been
      distributed, as the case may be, pursuant to such Award to such Person,
      having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes).

            (h) The expenses of this Plan shall be borne by the Company;
      provided, however, the Company may recover from a Participant or his or
      her Beneficiary, heirs or assigns any and all damages, fees, expenses and
      costs incurred by the Company arising out of any actions taken by a
      Participant in breach of this Plan or any agreement evidencing such
      Participant's Award.

            (i) This Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required
      to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation
      of assets to assure the payment of any Award under this Plan, and rights
      to the payment of Awards shall be no greater than the rights of the
      Company's general creditors.

            (j) By accepting any Award or other benefit under this Plan, each
      Participant (and each Person claiming under or through him or her) shall
      be conclusively deemed to have indicated his or her acceptance and
      ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under this Plan by the
      Company, the Board, the Committee or the Designated Administrator (if
      applicable).

            (k) The appropriate officers of the Company shall cause to be filed
      any reports, returns or other information regarding Awards under this Plan
      or any Common Shares issued pursuant to this Plan as may be required by
      applicable law and any applicable rules of any stock exchange or other
      market quotation system on which Common Shares are listed.

            (l) The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and
      effect of this Plan, and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating
      to this Plan and to Awards granted under this Plan, shall be governed by
      the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of
      Delaware.

            (m) Records of the Company shall be conclusive for all purposes
      under this Plan or any Award, unless determined by the Committee to be
      incorrect.

            (n) If any provision of this Plan or any Award is held to be illegal
      or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect
      the remaining provisions of this Plan or any Award, but such provision
      shall be fully severable, and this Plan or Award, as applicable, shall be
      construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had never
      been included in this Plan or Award, as applicable.

            (o) The terms of this Plan shall govern all Awards under this Plan
      and in no event shall the Committee have the power to grant any Award
      under this Plan that is contrary to any of the provisions of this Plan. In
      the event of a conflict between any term or provision of this Plan and any
      term or provision of the Stockholders Agreement dated ____________ __,
      2005 among Alpha and certain of its stockholders, the applicable terms and
      provisions of such Stockholders Agreement will govern and prevail.

            (p) For purposes of interpretation of this Plan, the masculine
      pronoun includes the feminine and the singular includes the plural
      wherever appropriate.

      SECTION 19. PLAN AMENDMENT OR SUSPENSION. This Plan may be amended or
suspended in whole or in part at any time from time to time by the Committee. No
amendment of this Plan shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of
any Participant with respect to any Award previously granted without such
Participant's written consent, except as permitted under Section 13; provided,
however, that the Committee may amend this Plan in such manner as it deems
necessary to permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements of the Code
or other applicable laws.

      SECTION 20. PLAN TERMINATION. This Plan shall terminate upon the earlier
of the following dates or events to occur:

            (a) upon the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating this
      Plan; or

            (b) November 10, 2104; provided, however, that the Board may, prior
      to such date, extend the term of this Plan for an additional period of up
      to five years for the grant of Awards other than Incentive Stock Options.

      No termination of this Plan shall materially alter or impair any of the
rights or obligations of any Participant, without his or her consent, under any
Award previously granted under this Plan, except that subsequent to termination
of this Plan, the Committee may make amendments or modifications permitted under
Section 13.

      SECTION 21. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Plan shall be effective, and Awards may
be granted under this Plan, on or after November 10, 2004.
