Optionee regarding the determination of Fair Market Value, then such
determination shall be made, according to the methodology described above, by an

                  2.19 RELATED ENTITY means with respect to the Company, any

                  2.20 STOCK means the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,

                  3. TERM OF THE PLAN.

                  Options may be granted hereunder at any time in the period
commencing on the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors and ending
immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the earlier of the adoption of the
Plan by the Board of Directors or approval of the Plan by the Company's
stockholders. Options granted prior to stockholder approval of the Plan are
hereby expressly conditioned upon such approval, and shall be void ab initio in
the event the stockholders of the Company shall fail to approve the Plan within
twelve (12) months of the Board of Directors' approval of the Plan.

                  4. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

                  At no time shall the number of shares of Stock then
outstanding which are attributable to the exercise of Options granted under the
Plan, plus the number of shares then issuable upon exercise of outstanding
Options granted under the Plan, exceed 1,105 shares, subject, however, to the
provisions of Section 17. Shares to be issued upon the exercise of Options
granted under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or shares
held by the Company in its treasury. If any Option expires, terminates, or is
cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the shares not
purchased thereunder shall again be available for Options thereafter to be
granted.

                  5. ADMINISTRATION.

                  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. Subject to
the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have complete authority, in its
discretion, to make or to select the manner of

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

making the following determinations with respect to each Option to be granted by
the Company in addition to any other determination allowed the Committee under
the Plan: (a) the employee to receive the Option; (b) the time of granting the
Option; (c) the number of shares subject to the Option; (d) the Option Price;
(e) the Option period; (f) the Option exercise date or dates and any terms of
vesting; (g) the effect of termination of employment or other association with
the Company and its Affiliates on the subsequent exercisability of the Option;
and (h) any other terms not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. In making
such determination, the Committee may take into account the nature of the
services rendered by the respective employees, their present and potential
contributions to the success of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such other
factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. Subject to the
provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall also have complete authority to
interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to it, to determine the terms and provisions of the respective Option
Agreements (which need not be identical), and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee's
determinations made in good faith on matters referred to in this Plan shall be
conclusive.

                  6. ELIGIBILITY.

                  An Option shall be granted only to an employee of one or more
of the Company or any Related Entity. A director of one or more of the Company
or any Related Entity who is not also an employee of one or more of the Company
or a Related Entity shall not be eligible to receive an Option.

                  7. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS.

                  The granting of an Option shall take place at the time
specified in the Option Agreement. Only if expressly so provided in the Option
Agreement shall the Grant Date be the date on which an Option Agreement shall
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Optionee.

                  8. OPTION PRICE.

                  The Option Price shall be set by the Committee and may be less
than, equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of Stock on the Grant Date.

                  9. OPTION PERIOD.

                  The period of time during which each Option may be exercised
shall be determined by the Committee. An Option may be immediately exercisable
or become exercisable in such installments, cumulative or non-cumulative, as the
Committee may determine. In the case of an Option not otherwise immediately
exercisable in full, the Committee may accelerate the exercisability of such
Option in whole or in part at any time.

                  10. GRANT OF OPTIONS IN REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING OPTIONS.

                  The Committee may in its discretion grant options in exchange
for outstanding options of the Company or any Related Entity, or other entity
that in connection with any such grant will

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

become a Related Entity. The Committee may condition any such grant on the
termination of the existing option.

                  11. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  An Option may be exercised by the Optionee giving written
notice, in the manner provided in Section 23, specifying the number of shares
with respect to which the Option is then being exercised. The notice shall be
accompanied by payment in the form of (a) cash, or certified or bank check
payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the aggregate Option
Price (and the amount of any required taxes) of the shares to be purchased, or
(b) delivery of shares of Stock having a Market Value Per Share or Options in an
amount whose aggregate Market Value per Share underlying such Options minus the
exercise price is equal to the aggregate Option Price (and the amount of any
required taxes) to be purchased (a "Cashless Exercise"); provided, that if an
Optionee elects to pay for his shares by means of a Cashless Exercise, the
Optionee or other person exercising the Option and each other party involved in
any such exercise shall comply with such procedures, and enter into such
agreements, of indemnity or otherwise, as the Company shall specify. Receipt by
the Company of such notice and payment shall constitute the exercise of the
Option. Within 30 days thereafter but subject to the remaining provisions of the
Plan, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Optionee or his
agent a certificate or certificates for the number of shares then being
purchased. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

                  12. RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUES OF SHARES.

                  12.1 VIOLATION OF LAW. Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan, if, at any time, in the reasonable opinion of the Company the issuance
of shares of Stock covered by the exercise of any Option may constitute a
violation of law, then the Company may delay such issuance and the delivery of a
certificate for such shares until (i) approval shall have been obtained from
such governmental agencies, other than the Securities and Exchange Commission,
as may be required under any applicable law, rule, or regulation; and (ii) in
the case where such issuance would constitute a violation of a law administered
by or a regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission, one of the
following conditions shall have been satisfied:

                  (a)      the shares with respect to which such Option has been
                           exercised are at the time of the issue of such shares
                           effectively registered under the Act; or

                  (b)      the Company shall have received an opinion, in form
                           and substance satisfactory to the Company, from the
                           Company's legal counsel to the effect that the sale,
                           transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other
                           disposition of such shares or such beneficial
                           interest, as the case may be, does not require
                           registration under the Act or any applicable state
                           securities laws.

The Company shall make all reasonable efforts to bring about the occurrences of
said events.

                  12.2 EXECUTION OF BUY-SELL AGREEMENT; INTERPRETATION. Whenever
shares are to be issued pursuant to an Option, the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue such shares until such time, if ever, as the person who
exercises such Option, in whole or in part, shall have executed and delivered to
the Company the Buy-Sell Agreement as specified by

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

the Committee in connection with the grant of such Option. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Plan and provisions of any applicable
Buy-Sell Agreement, Option Agreement or Employment Agreement, the provisions of
such Buy-Sell Agreement, Option Agreement or Employment Agreement shall control,
but insofar as possible the provisions of the Plan and any such Agreement shall
be construed so as to give full force and effect to all such provisions.

                  12.3 PLACEMENT OF LEGENDS. Each certificate representing
shares issued upon the exercise of an Option will bear restrictive legends,
which may refer to applicable restrictions under the Buy-Sell Agreement and
Employment Agreement, if any.

                  13. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT; SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION.

                  13.1 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION. Unless the shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option granted under the Plan have been effectively
registered under the Act, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any
shares covered by any Option unless the person who exercises such Option, in
whole or in part, shall give written representations to the Company which are
satisfactory in form and substance to its counsel and upon which the Company may
reasonably rely, including a representation that he or she is acquiring the
shares issued pursuant to such exercise of the Option on his or her own account
for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection
with, the distribution of any such shares.

                  13.2 REGISTRATION. If the Company shall deem it necessary or
desirable to register under the Act or other applicable statutes any shares with
respect to which an Option shall have been granted, or to qualify any such
shares for exemption from the Act or other applicable statutes, then the Company
shall take such action at its own expense. The Company may require from each
Optionee, or each holder of shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan, such
information in writing for use in any registration statement, prospectus,
preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is reasonably necessary for such
purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its officers and
directors from such holder against all losses, claims, damage and liabilities
arising from such use of the information so furnished and caused by an untrue
statement of any material fact therein or caused by the omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they are
made. In addition, the Company may require of any such person that he or she
agree that, without the prior written consent of the Company or such managing
underwriter, he or she will not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any
option for the purchase of, pledge or otherwise encumber, or otherwise dispose
of, any shares of Stock during the 180 day period commencing on the effective
date of the registration statement relating to such underwritten public offering
of securities.

                  13.3 PLACEMENT OF LEGENDS; STOP ORDERS; ETC. Each share of
Stock issued pursuant to an Option granted under this Plan may bear a reference
to the investment representation made in accordance with Section 13.1 in
addition to any other applicable restriction under the Plan and the terms of the
Option and to the fact that no registration statement has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in respect to said Stock. All certificates
for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee
may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of any
stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal
or state securities

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

                  Upon the grant of any Option, the Optionee shall acknowledge
and agree that he or she has been provided by the Company with a copy of the
Plan and all other materials required to be provided to the Optionee under Rule
701 of the Securities Act and shall waive any further requirement on the part of
the Company to provide the Optionee with any additional information relating to
an investment in the Company's securities.

                  14. WITHHOLDING.

                  Whenever shares are to be issued in satisfaction of an Option
granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to require the Optionee to
remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local or
other withholding tax requirements if and to the extent required by law (whether
so required to secure for the Company an otherwise available tax deduction or
otherwise) prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such
shares. The Company may, in its discretion, effect such withholding by retaining
shares issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise which is equal to the amount to be withheld.

                  15. TERMINATION OF ASSOCIATION WITH THE COMPANY.

                  Unless the Committee shall provide otherwise in the grant of a
particular Option under the Plan, if the Optionee's employment or other
association with the Company is terminated, whether voluntarily or otherwise,
the Option shall immediately cease to be exercisable in any respect. Military or
sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other association,
provided that it does not exceed the longer of 90 days or the period during
which the absent Optionee's reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by
statute or by contract.

                  16. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

                  Options shall not be transferable, other than as set forth in
any Option Agreement and by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
may be exercised during the life of the Optionee only by the Optionee and such
permitted transferees. Any permitted transferee shall be subject to the terms
and provisions of this Plan and any applicable Option Agreement or Buy-Sell
Agreement, and if so requested by the Committee, shall execute a writing to such
effect.

                  17. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

                  17.1 ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. Unless otherwise expressly provided
in a particular Option, in the event that, by reason of any merger,
consolidation, combination, liquidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend, stock split, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other like change in capital structure of the Company other than a
Recapitalization Event as provided in a particular Option Agreement
(collectively, a "Reorganization"), the Stock is substituted, combined, or
changed into any cash, property, or other securities, or the shares of Stock are
changed into a greater or lesser number of shares of Stock, the number and/or
kind of shares and/or interests, subject to an Option and the per share price or
value thereof shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to give
appropriate effect to such Reorganization, such that the Option shall thereafter
be exercisable for such securities, cash, and/or

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

other property as would have been received in respect of the Stock subject to
the Option had the Option been exercised in full immediately prior to such
event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the per share price, as adjusted shall never be
less than the par value of such share of Stock. Any fractional shares or
interests resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.

                  In the event the Company is not the surviving entity of a
Reorganization and, following such Reorganization, any Optionee will hold
Options issued pursuant to this Plan which have not been exercised, canceled, or
terminated in connection therewith, the Company shall cause such Options to be
assumed (or canceled and replacement Options of equivalent value issued) by the
surviving entity or a Related Entity.

                  17.2 DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. Upon dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Option shall terminate, but the Optionee (if at
the time of the employ of or otherwise associated with the Company or any of its
Affiliates) shall have the right, immediately prior to such dissolution or
liquidation, to exercise the Option to the extent exercisable on the date of
such dissolution or liquidation.

                  17.3 RELATED MATTERS. Any adjustment required by this Section
17 shall be determined and made by the Committee. No fraction of a share shall
be purchasable or deliverable upon exercise, but in the event any adjustment
hereunder of the number of shares covered by the Option shall cause such number
to include a fraction of a share, such number of shares shall be adjusted to the
nearest smaller whole number of shares. In the event of changes in the
outstanding Stock by reason of any stock dividend, split-up, construction,
reclassification, or change of outstanding shares of Stock of the nature
contemplated by this Section 17, the number of shares of Stock available for the
purposes of the Plan as stated in Section 4 shall be correspondingly adjusted.

                  18. RESERVATION OF STOCK.

                  The Company shall at all times during the term of the Plan and
any outstanding Options granted hereunder reserve or otherwise keep available
such number of shares of Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements
of the Plan (if then in effect) and such Options and shall pay all fees and
expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

                  19. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS IN STOCK; NO SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT OR
OTHER RIGHTS.

                  The Optionee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the shares of Stock covered by
an Option, except to the extent that the Option shall have been exercised with
respect thereto and, in addition, a certificate shall have been issued therefor
and delivered to the Optionee or his agent. Any Stock issued pursuant to the
exercise of the Option shall be subject to all restrictions upon the transfer
thereof, which may be now, or hereafter imposed by the Certificate of
Incorporation, the By-Laws of the Company, and any applicable Buy-Sell
Agreement, Option Agreement and/or Employment Agreement. Nothing contained in
the Plan or in any Option shall confer upon any Optionee any right whatsoever
with respect to the continuation of his or her employment or other association
with the Company (or any Affiliate), or interfere in any way with the right of
the Company (or any Affiliate), subject to the terms of any separate employment
or consulting agreement or provision of law or corporate articles or by-laws to

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or consulting agreement
or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Optionee from the rate in
existence at the time of the grant of an Option.

                  20. UNDERWRITER LOCK-UP PERIOD.

                  If requested by the Company and the lead underwriter of any
public offering of the Common Stock (the "Lead Underwriter"), the Optionee shall
irrevocably agree not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase,
transfer the economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, any interest in any Common Stock or any
securities convertible into, derivative of, or exchangeable or exercisable for,
or any other rights to purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock
included in such public offering or acquired on the public market after such
offering) during such period of time following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act that the
Lead Underwriter shall specify (the "Lock-up Period"). The Optionee shall
further agree to sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter
to effect the foregoing and agree that the Company may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option until
the end of such Lock-up Period.

                  21. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN.

                  Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors nor
the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company shall be construed
as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors to adopt such
other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including without
limitation, the granting of stock options other than under the Plan, and such
arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

                  22. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

                  The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan or
make such modifications of the Plan as it shall deem advisable. No termination
or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Optionee to whom any
Option shall theretofore have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such
Optionee under such Option.

                  23. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS.

                  Any notice, demand, request or other communication given
hereunder to any party, shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a
written instrument delivered in person or duly sent by first class registered,
certified or overnight mail, postage prepaid, or telecopied with a confirmation

                               ATRIUM CORPORATION
                             2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN
                               (DECEMBER 10, 2003)

1.       PURPOSE.

         Atrium Corporation, a Delaware corporation (herein, together with its
successors, referred to as the "Company"), by means of this 2003 Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan"), desires to afford certain individuals and key employees of
the Company and any direct or indirect parent corporation or subsidiary
corporation thereof now existing or hereafter formed or acquired (such parent
and subsidiary corporations sometimes referred to herein as "Related Entities")
who are responsible for the continued growth of the Company an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company, and thus to create in such
persons an increased interest in and a greater concern for the welfare of the
Company and any Related Entities. As used in the Plan, the terms "parent
corporation" and "subsidiary corporation" shall mean, respectively, a
corporation within the definition of such terms contained in Sections 424(e) and
424(f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

         The stock options described in Sections 6 and 7 (the "Options"), and
the shares of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) acquired pursuant to the
exercise of such Options are a matter of separate inducement and are not in lieu
of any salary or other compensation for services. To the extent that, with
respect to any optionee hereunder, the terms and provisions set forth in this
Plan conflict with or are inconsistent with any terms or provisions set forth in
any applicable Option Agreement, Employment Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement
entered into by and between the Company and such optionee, then, unless
specifically stated otherwise in this Plan, the terms and provisions of such
Option Agreement, Employment Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement shall control.

2.       ADMINISTRATION.

         The Plan shall be administered by a committee, or any successor
thereto, of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"), or
by any other committee appointed by the Board of Directors to administer this
Plan (the "Committee"); PROVIDED, the entire Board of Directors may act as the
Committee if it chooses to do so. Unless otherwise directed by the Board of
Directors, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall serve as
the Committee. The number of individuals that shall constitute the Committee
shall be determined from time to time by a majority of all the members of the
Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Company's By-Laws
and the provisions of Section 5.9 of the LLC Agreement and/or the provisions of
the Stockholders Agreement.

         Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.9 of the LLC Agreement
and/or the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, the members of the
Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors, which shall
have the power, at any time and from time to time, to remove members from or add
members to the Committee. Removal from the Committee may be with or without
cause but may only be effected in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3
of the LLC Agreement and/or the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement. Any
individual serving as a member of the Committee shall have the right to resign

<PAGE>

from membership in the Committee by written notice to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors, and not the remaining members of the Committee, shall
have the power and authority to fill vacancies on the Committee, however caused,
subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.9 of the LLC Agreement and/or
the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement.

3.       SHARES AVAILABLE.

         Subject to the adjustments provided in Section 10, the maximum
aggregate number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company ("Common Stock") which may be issued or used for reference purposes
under this Plan or with respect to which awards may be granted under this Plan
shall not exceed 14,000 shares of Common Stock, which may be either authorized
and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or acquired for the treasury
of the Company or both. If any Option granted under this Plan expires,
terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full
or the Company repurchases any Option, the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying such unexercised or repurchased Option shall again be available for
the purposes of Options under this Plan. In addition, in determining the number
of shares of Common Stock available for awards, if the number of shares of
Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of a Option has been reduced
for payment of the exercise price or (to the extent consistent with treatment of
incentive stock options as such) withholding taxes, the number of shares
available for purposes of awards under this Plan shall be increased to the
extent of such reduction.

4.       ELIGIBILITY AND BASES OF PARTICIPATION.

         Grants of Incentive Options and Non-Qualified Options (as hereinafter
defined) may be made under the Plan, subject to and in accordance with Section 6
to Key Employees. As used herein, the term "Key Employee" shall mean any
employee of the Company or any Related Entity, including officers and directors
of the Company or any Related Entity who are also employees of the Company or
any Related Entity, who is regularly employed on a salaried basis and who is so
employed on the date of such grant, whom the Committee identifies as having a
direct and significant effect on the performance of the Company or any Related
Entity.

         Grants of Non-Qualified Options may be made, subject to and in
accordance with Section 7 to any Eligible Non-Employee. As used herein, the term
"Eligible Non-Employee" shall mean any person or entity of any nature
whatsoever, specifically including an individual, a firm, a company, a
corporation, a partnership, a trust, or other entity (collectively, a "Person"),
that the Committee designates as eligible for a grant of Options pursuant to
this Plan because such Person performs bona fide consulting, advisory, or other
services for the Company or any Related Entity (other than services in
connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction) and the Board of Directors or the Committee determines that the
Person has a direct and significant effect on the financial development of the
Company or any Related Entity.

         The adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Person a
right to be granted any Options.

5.       AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE.

         Subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of this
Plan and the LLC Agreement and Stockholders Agreement, the Committee shall have
plenary authority, in its sole discretion, to:

         (a)   determine the Key Employees and Eligible Non-Employees to whom
               Options shall be granted, the time when such Options shall be
               granted, the number of shares covered by such Options, the
               purchase price or exercise price under each such Option, the
               period(s) during which such Options shall be exercisable, the
               restrictions to be applicable to Options and all other terms and
               provisions thereof (which need not be identical);

         (b)   require, if determined necessary or appropriate by the Committee
               in order to comply with Rule 16b-3, as a condition to the
               granting of any Option, that the Person receiving such Option
               agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of such Option, any Common
               Stock acquired pursuant to such Option, or any other "derivative
               security" (as defined by Rule 16a-l(c) under the Exchange Act)
               for a period of six months following the later of the date of the
               grant of such Option or (ii) the date when the exercise price of
               such Option is fixed if such exercise price is not fixed at the
               date of grant of such Option, or for such other period as the
               Committee may determine;

         (c)   provide an arrangement through registered broker-dealers whereby
               temporary financing may be made available to an optionee by the
               broker-dealer, under the rules and regulations of the Board of
               Governors of the Federal Reserve, for the purpose of assisting
               the optionee in the exercise of an Option, such authority to
               include the payment by the Company of the commissions of the
               broker-dealer;

         (d)   establish procedures for an optionee (i) to have withheld from
               the total number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon
               the exercise of an Option that number of shares having a Fair
               Market Value which, together with such cash as shall be paid in
               respect of fractional shares, shall equal the aggregate exercise
               price under such Option for the number of shares then being
               acquired (including the shares to be so withheld), and (ii) to
               exercise a portion of an Option by delivering that number of
               shares of Common Stock already owned by such optionee having an
               aggregate Fair Market Value which shall equal the partial Option
               exercise price and to deliver the shares thus acquired by such
               optionee in payment of shares to be received pursuant to the
               exercise of additional portions of such Option, the effect of
               which shall be that such optionee can in sequence utilize such
               newly acquired shares in payment of the exercise price of the
               entire Option, together with such cash as shall be paid in
               respect of fractional shares;

         (e)   establish (in accordance with Section 15 or otherwise) a
               procedure whereby a number of shares of Common Stock or other
               securities may be withheld from the total number of shares of
               Common Stock or other securities to be issued upon exercise of an
               Option to meet the obligation of withholding for income, social

                                       3
<PAGE>

               security and other taxes incurred by an optionee upon such
               exercise or required to be withheld by the Company or a Related
               Entity in connection with such exercise;

         (f)   prescribe, amend, modify and rescind rules and regulations
               relating to the Plan; and

         (g)   make all determinations permitted or deemed necessary,
               appropriate or advisable for the administration of the Plan,
               interpret any Plan or Option provision, perform all other acts,
               exercise all other powers, and establish any other procedures
               determined by the Committee to be necessary, appropriate, or
               advisable in administering the Plan or for the conduct of the
               Committee's business. Any act of the Committee, including
               interpretations of the provisions of the Plan or any Option and
               determinations under the Plan or any Option shall be final,
               conclusive and binding on all parties.

         The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members, or to one or
more agents, such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the
Committee or any Person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ
one or more Persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the
Committee or such Person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ
attorneys, consultants, accountants, or other Persons and the Committee, the
Company, and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the
advice, opinions, or valuations of any such Persons. No member or agent of the
Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or
interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan and all members and
agents of the Committee shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of
any such action, determination or interpretation.

6.       STOCK OPTIONS FOR KEY EMPLOYEES.

         Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall
have the authority to grant incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of
the Code ("Incentive Options"), to grant non-qualified stock options (options
which do not qualify under Section 422 of the Code) ("Non-Qualified Options"),
and to grant both types of Options to Key Employees. No Incentive Option shall
be granted pursuant to this Plan after the earlier of ten years from the date of
adoption of the Plan or ten years from the date of approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, Incentive Options may be granted only to Key Employees. The terms and
conditions of the Options granted under this Section 6 shall be determined from
time to time by the Committee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Options granted under
this Section 6 shall be subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan (other
than Section 7), including the following:

         (a)   OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. Subject to Section 4, the Committee shall
               establish the Option exercise price at the time any Option is
               granted at such amount as the Committee shall determine;
               PROVIDED, that in the case of an Incentive Option, the exercise
               price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common
               Stock at the date the Option is granted; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that
               in the case of an Incentive Option granted to a person who, at
               the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns shares of the
               Company or any Related Entity which possess more

                                       4
<PAGE>

               than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
               shares of the Company or of any Related Entity, the option
               exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market
               Value per share of Common Stock, at the date the Option is
               granted. The Option exercise price shall be subject to adjustment
               in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan.

         (b)   PAYMENT. The price per share of Common Stock with respect to each
               Option exercise shall be payable at the time of such exercise.
               Such price shall be payable in cash or by any other means
               acceptable to the Committee, including delivery to the Company of
               shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee or by the delivery
               or withholding of shares pursuant to a procedure established
               pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Plan. Shares delivered to or
               withheld by the Company in payment of the Option exercise price
               shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as
               of the close of business on the day preceding the date of the
               exercise of the Option.

         (c)   EXERCISABILITY OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to Section 8, each Option
               shall be exercisable in one or more installments as the Committee
               may determine at the time of the grant. The Committee shall have
               the authority to set a schedule for vesting of each Option in its
               discretion and may condition vesting on such criteria as it shall
               deem appropriate. No Option by its terms shall be exercisable
               after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant of the
               Option, unless, as to any Non-Qualified Option, otherwise
               expressly provided in any applicable Option Agreement or Buy-Sell
               Agreement or earlier terminated, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no
               Incentive Option granted to a Person who, at the time such Option
               is granted, owns stock of the Company, or any Related Entity,
               possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
               all classes of stock of the Company, or any Related Entity, shall
               be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date
               such Option is granted. Any Option granted hereunder will be
               subject to a Buy-Sell Agreement only if expressly agreed to in
               writing by the Committee and the optionee.

         (d)   DEATH. If any optionee's employment with the Company or a Related
               Entity terminates due to the death of such optionee, the estate
               of such optionee, or a Person who acquired the right to exercise
               such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death
               of the optionee, shall have the right to exercise the vested
               portion of such Option (and, if directed by the Committee at the
               date of grant, all or any part of the unvested portion) in
               accordance with its terms at any time and from time to time
               within 180 days after the date of death (provided the option does
               not, by its terms, expire earlier) unless a longer period is
               expressly provided in any applicable Option Agreement, Employment
               Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement or a shorter period is
               established by the Committee pursuant to Section 8 (but in no
               event after the expiration date of such Option).

         (e)   DISABILITY. If the employment of any optionee terminates because
               of his Disability (as defined in Section 20), such optionee or
               his legal representative shall have the right to exercise the
               vested portion of such Option (and, if directed

                                       5
<PAGE>

               by the Committee at the date of grant, all or any part of the
               unvested portion) in accordance with its terms at any time and
               from time to time within 180 days after the date of such
               termination (provided the option does not, by its terms, expire
               earlier) unless a longer period is expressly provided in any
               applicable Option Agreement, Employment Agreement or Buy-Sell
               Agreement or a shorter period is established by the Committee
               pursuant to Section 8 (but not after the expiration date of the
               Option); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of an Incentive
               Option, the optionee or his legal representative shall in any
               event be required to exercise the Incentive Option within one
               year after termination of the optionee's employment due to his
               Disability.

         (f)   FORFEIT OF UNVESTED OPTIONS ON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR VOLUNTARY
               TERMINATION. Unless an optionee's Option Agreement, Employment
               Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement expressly provides otherwise,
               such optionee shall immediately forfeit all rights with respect
               to any unvested portion of his Option (i) if the employment of
               such optionee with the Company or a Related Entity is terminated
               by the Company or any Related Entity for Good Cause (as defined
               below) or (ii) if such optionee voluntarily terminates employment
               (including as a result of an Optionee Non-Renewal) other than (w)
               for Good Reason, (x) a Company Non-Renewal, (y) Retirement, or
               (z) for any reason specified in subsection 6(d) and (e) above.
               The determination that there exists Good Cause for termination
               shall be made by the Committee (unless otherwise agreed to in
               writing by the Company and the optionee). Any vested option will
               be exercisable for the period specified in Section 6(g) below.

         (g)   OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the employment of an optionee
               with the Company or a Related Entity terminates for any reason
               other than those specified in subsections 6(d), (e) or (f) above,
               including, without limitation, Retirement, termination by the
               Company without Good Cause or by the optionee with Good Reason or
               as a result of a Company Non-Renewal or Optionee Non-Renewal,
               such optionee shall have the right to exercise the vested portion
               of his Option (and, in case the of termination without Good Cause
               or with Good Reason, if directed by the Committee at the date of
               grant all or any part of the unvested portion) in accordance with
               its terms within 30 days after the date of such termination,
               unless a longer period is expressly provided in any applicable
               Option Agreement, Employment Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement or a
               shorter period is established by the Committee pursuant to
               Section 8 (but not after the expiration date of the Option).

7.       STOCK OPTION GRANTS TO ELIGIBLE NON-EMPLOYEES.

         Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall
have the authority to grant Non-Qualified Options to Eligible Non-Employees. The
terms and conditions of the Options granted under this Section 7 shall be
determined from time to time by the Committee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Options granted under this Section 7 shall be subject to all terms and
provisions of the Plan (other than Section 6), including the following:

                                       6
<PAGE>

         (a)   OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. Subject to Section 4, the Committee shall
               establish the Option exercise price at the time any Non-Qualified
               Option is granted at such amount, as the Committee shall
               determine. The Option exercise price shall be subject to
               adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 of the
               Plan.

         (b)   PAYMENT. The price per share of Common Stock with respect to each
               Option exercise shall be payable at the time of such exercise.
               Such price shall be payable in cash or by any other means
               acceptable to the Committee, including delivery to the Company of
               shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee or by the delivery
               or withholding of shares pursuant to a procedure established
               pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Plan. Shares delivered to or
               withheld by the Company in payment of the Option exercise price
               shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as
               of the close of business on the day preceding the date of the
               exercise of the Option.

         (c)   EXERCISABILITY OF STOCK OPTION. Subject to Section 8, each Option
               shall be exercisable in one or more installments as the Committee
               may determine at the time of the grant. The Committee shall have
               the authority to set a schedule for vesting of each Option in its
               discretion and may condition vesting on such criteria as it shall
               deem appropriate. No Option shall be exercisable after the
               expiration of ten years from the date of grant of the Option,
               unless otherwise expressly provided in any applicable Option
               Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement or earlier terminated. Any option
               granted hereunder will be subject to a Buy-Sell Agreement only if
               expressly agreed to in writing by the Committee and the Optionee.

         (d)   DEATH. If the retention by the Company or any Related Entity of
               the services of any Eligible Non-Employee terminates because of
               his death, the estate of such optionee, or a Person who acquired
               the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by
               reason of the death of the optionee, shall have the right to
               exercise the vested portion of such Option (and, if directed by
               the Committee at the date of grant, all or any part of the
               unvested portion) in accordance with its terms, at any time and
               from time to time within 180 days after the date of death
               (provided the option does not, by its terms, expire earlier)
               unless a longer period is expressly provided in any applicable
               Option Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement or a shorter period is
               established by the Committee pursuant to Section 8 (but in no
               event after the expiration date of such Option).

         (e)   DISABILITY. If the retention by the Company or any Related Entity
               of the services of any Eligible Non-Employee terminates because
               of his Disability, such optionee or his legal representative
               shall have the right to exercise the vested portion of such
               Option (and, if directed by the Committee at the date of grant,
               all or any part of the unvested portion) in accordance with its
               terms at any time and from time to time within 180 days after the
               date of the optionee's termination (provided the option does not,
               by its terms, expire earlier) unless a longer period is expressly
               provided in any applicable Option Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement

                                       7
<PAGE>

               or a shorter period is established by the Committee pursuant to
               Section 8 (but not after the expiration of the Option).

         (f)   FORFEIT OF UNVESTED OPTION ON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; VOLUNTARY
               TERMINATION. If the retention by the Company or any Related
               Entity of the services of any Eligible Non-Employee is terminated
               (i) for Good Cause, (ii) as a result of removal of the optionee
               from office as a director of the Company or of any Related Entity
               for Good Cause by action of the stockholders of the Company or
               such Related Entity in accordance with the by-laws of the Company
               or such Related Entity, as applicable, and the corporate law of
               the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or such Related
               Entity, or (iii) as a result of the voluntarily termination by
               optionee of optionee's service (including an Optionee
               Non-Renewal) other than (w) for Good Reason, (x) a Company
               Non-Renewal, (y) Retirement, or (z) for any reason specified in
               subsection 7(d) and (e) above, then such optionee shall
               immediately forfeit his rights under his Option with respect to
               any unvested portion. With respect to the determination that
               there exists Good Cause for termination shall be made by the
               Committee (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company
               and the optionee). Any vested option shall be exercisable for the
               period specified under Section 6(g) below.

         (g)   OTHER TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP. If the retention by the
               Company or any Related Entity of the services of any Eligible
               Non-Employee terminates for any reason other than those specified
               in subsections 7(d), (e) or (f) above, including, without
               limitation, Retirement, or termination by the Company or any
               Related Entity without Good Cause, termination by the Optionee
               for Good Reason, or as a result of a Company Non-Renewal or
               Optionee Non-Renewal, such optionee shall have the right to
               exercise the vested portion of his or its Option in accordance
               with its terms within 30 days after the date of such termination,
               unless a longer period is expressly provided in any applicable
               Option Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement or a shorter period is
               established by the Committee pursuant to Section 8 (but not after
               the expiration date of the Option).

         (h)   INELIGIBILITY FOR OTHER GRANTS. Any Eligible Non-Employee who
               receives an Option pursuant to this Section 7 shall, so long as
               such Eligible Non-Employee remains a Non-Employee, be ineligible
               to receive any Options under any other Section of the Plan. Any
               Eligible Non-Employee who subsequently becomes an employee of the
               Company or any Related Entity shall be eligible to be designated
               a Key Employee pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

8.       ACCELERATED VESTING.

         If a Change of Control or Sale of the Company shall occur, then all
Options outstanding under the Plan shall be automatically vested and be
exercisable in full notwithstanding the express provisions of such Options.

9.       PURCHASE OPTION.

         (a)   Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable Option
               Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement, if (i) any optionee's employment
               (or, in the case of any Option granted under Section 7, the
               optionee's relationship) with the Company or a Related Entity
               terminates for any reason at any time or (ii) a Sale of the
               Company occurs, the Company (and/or its designees) shall have the
               option (the "Purchase Option") to purchase, and the optionee (or
               the optionee's executor or the administrator of the optionee's
               estate, in the event of the optionee's death, or the optionee's
               legal representative in the event of the optionee's incapacity)
               (hereinafter, collectively with such optionee, the "Grantor")
               shall sell to the Company and/or its assignee(s), all or any
               portion of such optionee's vested Options (including, without
               limitation, any options that have vested as a result of such
               termination of employment or Sale of the Company), and if any
               such Option has been exercised, shares of Common Stock issued
               upon such exercise, held by the Grantor (such shares of Common
               Stock and vested Options collectively being referred to as the
               "Purchasable Shares"), subject to the Company's compliance with
               the conditions hereinafter set forth.

         (b)   The Company shall give notice in writing to the Grantor of the
               exercise of the Purchase Option within one (1) year following the
               date of the termination of the optionee's employment or
               engagement or within thirty (30) days prior to or one (1) year
               following such Sale of the Company. Such notice shall state the
               number of Purchasable Shares to be purchased and the
               determination of the Board of Directors of the Fair Market Value
               per share of such Purchasable Shares. The Company's Purchase
               Option shall lapse if not exercised by the Company within the
               time period specified above in accordance with the provisions
               hereof, except as otherwise provided in paragraph "e" below.

         (c)   If the Optionee's employment (or, in the case of any Option
               granted under Section 7, the Optionee's relationship) with the
               Company or any Related Entity is terminated (A) by the Company
               for any reason other than Good Cause, (B) by the Optionee for
               Good Reason, or (C) as a result of death, Disability, Retirement,
               or (D) a Company Non-Renewal, the purchase price to be paid for
               the Purchasable Shares purchased pursuant to the Purchase Option
               shall be the greater of (1)(x) in the case of any Common Stock,
               the Fair Market Value per share as of the date of the notice of
               exercise of the Purchase Option times the number of shares being
               purchased, or (y) in the case of any vested portion of any
               Option, the Fair Market Value per share times the number of
               vested shares subject to such Option, less the applicable per
               share Option exercise price, and (2)(x) in the case of any Common
               Stock, the purchase price per share paid by Optionee for such
               Common Stock times the number of shares being purchased and (y)
               in the case of any vested portion of any Option, the exercise
               price per share of the vested shares subject to such Option, less
               the applicable per share option exercise price.

               (i) If the Optionee's employment (or in the case of any Option
               granted under Section 7, the Optionee's relationship) with the
               Company or any Related Entity is

                                       9
<PAGE>

               terminated (A) by the Company for Good Cause or (B) by the
               Optionee for any reason (including an Optionee Non-Renewal) other
               than (x) for Good Reason (y) as a result of death, Disability, or
               Retirement, or (z) as a result of a Company Non-Renewal, the
               purchase price to be paid for the Purchase Option shall be the
               lesser of (1)(x) in the case of any Common Stock, the Fair Market
               Value per share as of the date of notice of exercise of the
               Purchase Option times the number of shares being purchased, or
               (y) in the case of any vested portion of any Option, the Fair
               Market Value per share times the number of vested shares subject
               to such Option less the applicable per share Option exercise
               price, and (2)(x) in the case of any Common Stock, the purchase
               price per share paid by the Optionee for such Common Stock times
               the number of shares being purchased, and (y) in the case of any
               vested portion of any Option, the exercise price per share of the
               vested shares subject to such Option, less the applicable per
               share option exercise price.

               (ii) If the Purchase Option is being exercised by the Company in
               connection with a Sale of the Company, the Optionee shall receive
               the same consideration per share (and in the same form and at the
               same time) in respect of the Common Stock and/or vested shares
               subject to the Option as received by each other holder of Common
               Stock in connection with such Sale of the Company, less, in the
               case of any Option, the applicable per share Option exercise
               price.

         (d)   The Company shall pay the purchase price payable pursuant to
               paragraph (c) by the tender of a check in the amount of the
               purchase price to be paid for the Purchasable Shares or by the
               delivery of a promissory note as provided in paragraph "(f)"
               below (except in the case of a repurchase pursuant to paragraph
               (C)(iii) above, in which case the purchase price shall be paid in
               accordance with the terms thereof). The closing of such purchase
               shall take place at the Company's principal executive offices
               within ten days after the purchase price has been determined. At
               such closing, the Grantor shall deliver or shall cause to be
               delivered to the purchasers the certificates or instruments
               evidencing the Purchasable Shares being purchased, duly endorsed
               (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers) and otherwise in
               good form for delivery, against payment of the purchase price by
               check of the purchasers. In the event that, notwithstanding the
               foregoing, the Grantor shall have failed to obtain the release of
               any pledge or other encumbrance on any Purchasable Shares by or
               upon the scheduled closing date (at the option of the
               purchasers), the closing shall nevertheless occur on such
               scheduled closing date, with the cash purchase price being
               reduced to the extent of all unpaid indebtedness for which such
               Purchasable Shares are then pledged or encumbered. Upon tender by
               the Company of a check in the amount of the purchase price for
               the Purchasable Shares or a promissory note as provided in
               paragraph "(f)" below, (y) the shares of Common Stock comprising
               a portion of the Purchasable Shares, or the portion thereof so
               purchased, shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (z)
               the Options comprising a portion of the Purchasable Shares, or
               the portion thereof so purchased, shall no longer be deemed to be
               outstanding and all of the Grantor's rights with respect to such
               Purchasable Shares shall terminate, with the exception

                                       10
<PAGE>

               of the right of the Grantor to receive the purchase price in
               exchange therefore pursuant to this paragraph "(d)".

         (e)   To assure the enforceability of the Company's rights under this
               Section 9, each certificate or instrument representing Common
               Stock or an Option held by an optionee shall bear a conspicuous
               legend in substantially the following form:

               THE SHARES [REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE] [ISSUABLE PURSUANT
               TO THIS AGREEMENT] ARE SUBJECT TO AN OPTION TO REPURCHASE
               PROVIDED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S 2003 STOCK OPTION
               PLAN AND A STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT THERETO.
               A COPY OF SUCH OPTION PLAN AND OPTION AGREEMENT ARE AVAILABLE
               UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE
               OFFICES.

         (f)   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in paragraph "d"
               above, in the event that any payment by the Company of any
               portion of the purchase price (or any remaining portion thereof
               for any portion of the Purchasable Shares that the Company is
               obligated to purchase) is, at the time such payment would
               otherwise be due hereunder, prohibited by the terms of any of the
               Company's or any of its Subsidiaries' financing arrangements with
               their lenders to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is
               bound, the Company shall be entitled to complete the exercise of
               the Purchase Option by tendering to the Grantor (a) a check for
               that portion of the purchase price the payment of which is not so
               prohibited, and/or (b) a promissory note (a "Note") for the
               entirety or balance of the purchase price, as applicable. Each
               such Note shall (i) bear interest at the Prime Rate, (ii) provide
               for the payment of the principal evidenced thereby in annual
               installments commencing one (1) year after such termination in
               such amounts as are satisfactory to the Company's and its
               Subsidiaries' lenders, and (iii) be subordinated in right of
               payment to the Company's and its Subsidiaries' indebtedness to
               its lenders on terms satisfactory to such lenders.

               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
               Agreement, the entire principal balance of the Note and any
               accrued and unpaid interest under the Note shall be due and
               payable upon: (i) the Sale of the Company or (ii) when the
               payment of such is no longer prohibited under the Company's
               financing agreements or indentures. Once all accrued but unpaid
               interest has been paid, the Company shall also periodically pay
               as much of the outstanding principal balance of the Note when the
               payment of such is no longer prohibited under the Company's
               financing agreements or indentures. While the Note will provide
               for annual payments, the Company shall test on a quarterly basis
               (using the Company's compliance certificates delivered under its
               financing agreements and indentures for the following periods:
               March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year the
               Note is outstanding) to determine whether the Company will be
               permitted to make the interest and principal payments required by
               this paragraph. Each test shall be performed within ten (10) days
               of the

                                       11
<PAGE>

               availability of the financial data required. Once it has been
               determined that any payment of interest or principal is
               permitted, such payment(s) shall be made within ten (10) days of
               the completion of the test.

         (g)   If, after giving effect to the provisions of paragraph "f" above,
               the Company is prohibited by law from purchasing any Purchasable
               Shares which it is obligated or has elected to repurchase
               hereunder due to any existing or prospective impairment of its
               capital, the closing of such purchase shall be delayed until the
               first date on which the Company has sufficient capital to
               lawfully repurchase such Purchasable Shares (the "Delayed Closing
               Date"). In the event of any such delay, the Company will be
               obligated to pay, on the Delayed Closing Date, interest on the
               purchase price for such Purchasable Shares, at the Prime Rate
               from the date on which the closing of the purchase of such
               Purchasable Shares was originally scheduled to occur to the
               Delayed Closing Date.

         The Company's rights under this Section 9 shall terminate upon the
consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

10.      ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

         Unless otherwise expressly provided in a particular Option, in the
event that, by reason of any merger, consolidation, combination, liquidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, split-up,
split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other like
change in capital structure of the Company other than a Recapitalization Event
(collectively, a "Reorganization"), the Common Stock is substituted, combined,
or changed into any cash, property, or other securities, or the shares of Common
Stock are changed into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the
number and/or kind of shares and/or interests subject to an Option and the per
share price or value thereof shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee to
give appropriate effect to such Reorganization, such that the Option shall
thereafter be exercisable for such securities, cash, and/or other property as
would have been received in respect of the Common Stock subject to the Option
had the Option been exercised in full immediately prior to such event. Any
fractional shares or interests resulting from such adjustment shall be
eliminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each such adjustment with respect
to an Incentive Option shall comply with the rules of Section 424(a) of the
Code, and (ii) in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any
Incentive Option granted hereunder to be other than an "incentive stock option"
for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

         In the event the Company is not the surviving entity of a
Reorganization and, following such Reorganization, any optionee will hold
Options issued pursuant to this Plan which have not been exercised, cancelled,
or terminated in connection therewith, the Company shall cause such Options to
be assumed (or cancelled and replacement Options of equivalent value issued) by
the surviving entity or a Related Entity.

11.      ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER.

         (a)   Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Non-Qualified
               Option, no Option granted under the Plan or any rights or
               interests therein shall be assignable or transferable by an
               optionee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution,

                                       12
<PAGE>

               and during the lifetime of an optionee, Options granted to him or
               her hereunder shall be exercisable only by the optionee or, in
               the event that a legal representative has been appointed in
               connection with the Disability of an optionee, such legal
               representative. In the event of any permitted transfer of
               Options, the transferees thereof must agree in writing to be
               bound by the terms and provisions of this Plan and any applicable
               Option Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement, as each may be amended
               from time to time.

         (b)   Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Company Agreement
               (as defined in Section 12) (which may provide for an absolute
               limitation on transferability), at least ninety (90) days prior
               to selling, pledging, hypothecating, transferring or otherwise
               disposing ("Transfer") of any shares of interest in Common Stock
               issued upon exercise of an Option (or any interest therein), the
               optionee proposing such Transfer shall deliver a written notice
               (the "Sale Notice") to the Company. The Sale Notice will disclose
               in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective
               transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the proposed
               transfer. Such optionee (and such optionee's transferees) shall
               not consummate any such Transfer until ninety (90) days after the
               Sale Notice has been delivered to the Company, unless the Company
               has notified such optionee in writing that it will not exercise
               its rights under this Section 11(b) (the date of the first to
               occur of such events is referred to herein as the "Authorization
               Date"). The Company or its designee may elect to purchase all
               (but not less than all) of the shares of Common Stock to be
               Transferred at the same price and upon the same terms and
               conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice ("Right of First
               Refusal") by delivering a written notice of such election to such
               optionee within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Sale
               Notice by the Company (the "Election Notice"). If the Company or
               its designee has not elected to purchase all of the shares of
               Common Stock specified in the Sale Notice, such optionee may
               Transfer the shares of Common Stock to the prospective
               transferee(s) as specified in the Sale Notice, at a price and on
               terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than
               specified in the Sale Notice, during the 90-day period
               immediately following the Authorization Date and in the event of
               any such Transfer of shares the provisions of the Plan
               (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section
               11) shall no longer apply to the shares thus transferred. Any
               shares of Common Stock not so transferred within such 90-day
               period must be reoffered to the Company in accordance with the
               provisions of this Section 11(b). The Right of First Refusal will
               not apply with respect to Transfers of such shares of Common
               Stock (i) by will or pursuant to applicable laws of descent and
               distribution or (ii) among the optionee's family group; provided
               that the restrictions contained in this Section 11(b) will
               continue to be applicable to the shares of Common Stock after any
               such Transfer and provided further that the transferees of such
               shares of Common Stock have agreed in writing to be bound by the
               terms and provisions of this Plan and the applicable Option
               Agreement as each may be amended from time to time. In addition,
               upon any transfer to a member of the optionee's family group
               (other than pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence),
               the optionee shall be required to give notice to the Company and
               as a condition to such Transfer to a member of the optionee's
               family group, and the optionee will maintain all voting

                                       13
<PAGE>

               control over all of the shares of Common Stock. The optionee's
               "family group" means the optionee's spouse and lineal descendants
               (whether natural or adopted) and any trust solely for the benefit
               of the optionee and/or the optionee's spouse and/or lineal
               descendants. In addition, with the prior approval of the
               Committee, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(b),
               an optionee may pledge such shares of Common Stock creating a
               security interest therein; provided, that the pledgee agrees in
               writing to be bound, and that such shares of Common Stock remain
               bound, by the terms and provisions of this Plan and any
               applicable Option Agreement or Buy-Sell Agreement, as each may be
               amended from time to time. The rights and obligations pursuant to
               this Section 11(b) hereof will terminate upon the consummation of
               a Qualified Public Offering.

         To assure the enforceability of the Company's rights under this Section
11(b), each certificate or instrument representing Common Stock or an Option
held by an optionee shall bear a conspicuous legend in substantially the
following form:

               THE SHARES [REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE] [ISSUABLE PURSUANT
               TO THIS AGREEMENT] ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
               PROVIDED UNDER THE COMPANY'S 2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND A STOCK
               OPTION AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT THERETO. A COPY OF SUCH
               OPTION PLAN AND OPTION AGREEMENT ARE AVAILABLE UPON WRITTEN
               REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES.

12.      COMPANY AGREEMENTS.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as a condition to the
receipt of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Option award under this Plan,
solely to the extent required by the Committee and at its sole discretion, the
optionee shall execute and deliver a Buy-Sell Agreement or other stockholder's
agreement or documentation which shall set forth certain restrictions on
transferability of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise or
purchase, which may include a right of first refusal of the Company with respect
to shares, and such other terms as the Board or Committee shall from time to
time establish (the "Company Agreements"). Such Company Agreements shall apply
to the Common Stock acquired under the Plan and covered by Company Agreements.
The Company may require, as a condition of exercise, the optionee to become a
party to any other existing stockholder agreement.

13.      COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS.

         The Company shall not in any event be obligated to file any
registration statement under the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law to permit exercise of any option or to issue any Common Stock in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Each
optionee (or, in the event of his death or, in the event a legal representative
has been appointed in connection with his Disability, the Person exercising the
Option) shall, as a condition to his right to exercise any Option, deliver to
the Company an agreement or certificate containing such representations,
warranties and covenants as the Company may deem necessary

                                       14
<PAGE>

or appropriate to ensure that the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to
such exercise is not required to be registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities law.

         Certificates for shares of Common Stock, when issued, may have
substantially the following legend, or statements of other applicable
restrictions, endorsed thereon, and may not be immediately transferable:

               THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY
               STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
               SOLD, PLEDGED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL THE
               HOLDER HEREOF PROVIDES EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER
               (WHICH, IN THE DISCRETION OF THE ISSUER, MAY INCLUDE AN OPINION
               OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER) THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE,
               PLEDGE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION WILL NOT VIOLATE APPLICABLE
               FEDERAL OR STATE LAWS.

         This legend shall not be required for shares of Common Stock issued
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in
accordance with applicable state securities laws.

         The Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that he or she has been
provided by the Company with a copy of the Plan and all other materials required
to be provided to the Optionee under Rule 701 of the Securities Act and waives
any further requirement on the part of the Company to provide the Optionee with
any additional information relating to an investment in the Company's
securities.

14.      WITHHOLDING TAXES.

         By acceptance of the Option, the optionee will be deemed to (i) agree
to reimburse the Company or Related Entity by which the optionee is employed for
any federal, state, or local taxes required by any government to be withheld or
otherwise deducted by such corporation in respect of the optionee's exercise of
all or a portion of the Option; (ii) authorize the Company or any Related Entity
by which the optionee is employed to withhold from any cash compensation paid to
the optionee or in the optionee's behalf, an amount sufficient to discharge any
federal, state, and local taxes imposed on the Company or the Related Entity by
which the optionee is employed, and which otherwise has not been reimbursed by
the optionee, in respect of the optionee's exercise of all or a portion of the
Option; and (iii) agree that the Company may, in its discretion, hold the stock
certificate to which the optionee is entitled upon exercise of the Option as
security for the payment of the aforementioned withholding tax liability, until
cash sufficient to pay that liability has been accumulated, and may, in its
discretion, effect such withholding by retaining shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise which
is equal to the amount to be withheld.

                                       15

15.      COSTS AND EXPENSES.

         The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Company and shall not be charged against any Option nor to any employee
receiving an Option.

16.      FUNDING OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to make
any segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Option under the Plan.

17.      OTHER INCENTIVE PLANS.

         The adoption of the Plan does not preclude the adoption by appropriate
means of any other incentive plan for employees.

18.      EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT.

         Nothing contained in the Plan or any agreement related hereto or
referred to herein shall affect, or be construed as affecting, the terms of
employment of any Key Employee except to the extent specifically provided herein
or therein. Nothing contained in the Plan or any agreement related hereto or
referred to herein shall impose, or be construed as imposing, an obligation on

Employee, and (ii) any Key Employee to remain in the employ of the Company or
