9.   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as Stockholder. A participant under the Plan shall have no rights as
a holder of Roanoke common stock with respect to awards hereunder, unless and
until certificates for shares of such stock are issued to the participant.

(b) Assignment to Transfer. No award under this Plan shall be transferrable by
the participant or shall be subject to any manner of alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge (other than by or to Roanoke), except
(i) by will or the laws of the descent and distribution (with all references
herein to the rights or duties of holders or participants to be deemed to
include such beneficiaries or legal representatives of the holders or
participant unless the context otherwise expressly requires); (ii) subject to
the prior approval of the Board, for transfers to members of the participant's
immediate family, charitable institutions, trusts whose beneficiaries are
members of the participant's immediate family and/or charitable institutions,
trusts whose beneficiaries are members of the participant's immediate family
and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be
approved by the Board in each case subject to the condition that the Board be
satisfied that such transfer is being made for the estate and/or tax planning
purposes on a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration (other than
nominal consideration) being received therefor. Except as provided above, during
the lifetime of a participant, awards hereunder are exercisable only by, and
payable only to, the participant.

(c) Agreements. All awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by
agreements in such form and containing such terms and conditions (not
inconsistent with the Plan) as the Board shall adopt.

<PAGE>

(d) Compliance with Legal Regulations. During the term of the Plan and the term
of any awards granted under the Plan, Roanoke will at all times reserve and keep
available such number of shares as may be issuable under the Plan, and will seek
to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, any requisite authority
required in the opinion of counsel for Roanoke in order to grant shares of
Roanoke common stock, or options to purchase such stock or other awards
hereunder, and transfer, issue or sell such number of shares of common stock as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of any options or other awards.
If in the opinion of counsel for Roanoke the transfer, issue or sale of any
shares of its stock under the Plan shall not be lawful for any reason including
the inability of Roanoke to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
authority deemed by such counsel to be necessary to such transfer, issuance or
sale, Roanoke shall not be obligated to transfer, issue or sell any such shares.
In any event, Roanoke shall not be obligated to transfer, issue or sell any
shares to any participant unless a registration statement which complies with
the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
is in effect at the time with respect to such shares or other appropriate action
has been taken under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Securities
Act and any other applicable securities laws, or Roanoke receives evidence
satisfactory to the Board that the transfer, issuance or sale of such shares, in
the absence of an effective registration statement or other appropriate action,
would not constitute a violation of the terms and provisions of the Securities
Act. Roanoke's obligation to issue shares upon the exercise of any award granted
under the Plan shall in any case be subject to Roanoke being satisfied that the
shares purchased are being purchased for investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof, if at the time of such exercise a resale of such shares
would otherwise violate the Securities Act in the absence of an effective
registration statement relating to such shares.

(e) Withholding Taxes. Roanoke shall have the right to deduct from all awards
hereunder paid in cash any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by
law to be withheld with respect to such awards and, with respect to awards paid
in stock, to require the payment (through withholding from the participant's
salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. The obligation of Roanoke to make
delivery of awards in cash or Roanoke common stock shall be subject to currency
or other restrictions imposed by any government.

(f) No Rights to Award. No Eligible Participant or other person shall have any
right to be granted an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action
taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be
retained in the employ of Roanoke or any of its subsidiaries or shall interfere
with or restrict in any way the rights of Roanoke or its subsidiaries, which are
hereby reserved, to discharge the employee at any time for any reason
whatsoever, with or without good cause.
(g) Costs and Expenses. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall
be borne by Roanoke and not charged to any award nor to any Eligible Participant
receiving an award.

(h) Funding of Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Roanoke 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 the Plan.

<PAGE>

10.  AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION.

(a) Amendments. The Board may at any time terminate or from time to time amend
the Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely affect any
rights or obligations with respect to any awards theretofore made under the
Plan.

Unless the majority of the directors of Roanoke present, or represented, and
entitled to vote at a meeting of directors shall have first approved thereof, no
amendment of the Plan shall be effective which would (i) increase the maximum
number of shares referred to in section 5 of the Plan or the maximum awards that
may be granted pursuant to section 4 of the Plan to any one individual or (ii)
extend the maximum period during which awards may be granted under the Plan. For
purposes of this section 10 (a), any (A) cancellation and reissuance or (B)
repricing of any awards made under the Plan at a new option price as provided in
Exhibit A hereto shall not constitute an amendment of this Plan.

With consent of the Eligible Participant adversely affected, the Board may amend
outstanding agreements evidencing awards under the Plan in a manner not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

(b) Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as above
provided, the Plan (but not the awards theretofore granted under the Plan) shall
terminate on and no awards shall be granted after August 25, 2013.
