is 120,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued Shares or
treasury Shares. The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon the exercise
of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available under the Plan, as
applicable. Shares which are subject to Awards which terminate or lapse may be
granted again under the Plan.

                  4. Administration.

                  The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may
delegate its duties and powers in whole or in part as it determines; provided,
however, that the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, take any
action designated to the Committee under this Plan as it may deem necessary.
Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be made under the Plan in
assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by
the Company or its Affiliates or a company acquired by the Company or with which
the Company combines. The number of Shares underlying such substitute awards
shall be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards
under the Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish,
amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make
any other determinations that it deems necessary or desirable for the
administration of the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the
extent the Committee deems necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee
in the interpretation and administration of the Plan, as described herein, 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 successors). The Committee shall have the full power
and authority to establish the terms and conditions of any Award consistent with
the provisions of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any
time (including, without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting
conditions or payment dates). The Committee shall require payment of any amount
it may determine to be necessary to withhold for federal, state, local or other
taxes as a result of the exercise of an Award. Unless the Committee specifies
otherwise, the Participant may elect to pay a portion or all of such withholding
taxes by (a) delivery in Shares; provided, that such Shares have been held by
the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period as established
from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting
treatment applying generally accepted accounting principles) (b) having Shares
with a Fair Market Value

                                                                               4

equal to the statutory minimum withholding liability withheld by the Company
from any Shares that would have otherwise been received by the Participant, (c)
if there is a public market for the Shares at such time, subject to such rules
as may be established by the Committee, through delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the
exercise of the Option and deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to
the statutory minimum withholding liability, or (d) such other method as
approved by the Committee.

                  5. Limitations.

                  No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend
beyond that date.

                  6. Options.

                  Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the
Committee, non-qualified stock options or ISOs for federal income tax purposes,
as evidenced by the related Award Agreements, and shall be subject to the
foregoing and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and
conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine:

                  (a) Option Price. The Option Price shall be determined by the
Committee, but, with respect to ISOs, shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date an Option is granted.

                  (b) Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined
by the Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten
years after the date it is granted.

                  (c) Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan or in an Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time
to time any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. No Shares
shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full
of the aggregate Option Price and any withholding amount required therefor is
received by the Company. Payment of the aggregate Option Price may be made (i)
in cash, or its equivalent, (ii) to the extent permitted by the Committee, by
transferring Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option
Price for the Shares being purchased to the Company and satisfying such other
requirements as may be imposed by the Committee; provided that such Shares have
been held by the Participant for no less than six months (or such other period
as established from time to time by the Committee or generally accepted
accounting principles), (iii) if there is a public market for the Shares at such
time, subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through
delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise
deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and deliver promptly to the Company
an amount equal to the aggregate Option Price, or (iv) such other method as
approved by the Committee. No Participant shall have any rights to dividends or
other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until
the Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in full
for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions imposed
by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.

                                                                               5

                  (d) ISOs. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that
are intended to be ISOs. Such ISOs shall comply with the requirements of Section
422 of the Code. No ISO may be granted to any Participant who at the time of
such grant is not an employee of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries. In
addition, no ISO may be granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant
owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries, unless (i) the Option Price for such
ISO is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is
granted and (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than
the day preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted.
Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO
either (I) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (II) within
one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the
Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition.
All Options granted under the Plan are intended to be non-qualified stock
options, unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option
is intended to be an ISO. If an Option is intended to be an ISO, and if for any
reason such Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to
the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be
regarded as a non-qualified stock option granted under the Plan; provided that
such Option (or portion thereof) otherwise complies with the Plan's requirements
relating to non-qualified stock options. In no event shall any member of the
Committee, the Company or any of its Affiliates (or their respective employees,
officers or directors) have any liability to any Participant (or any other
Person) due to the failure of an Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

                  (e) Attestation. Wherever in this Plan or any Award Agreement
a Participant is permitted to pay the Option Price or taxes relating to the
exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant may, subject to
procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery requirement by
presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the
Company shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall
withhold such number of Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the
Option.

                  7. Stock Appreciation Rights.

                  (a) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Committee shall have the sole and complete authority to determine the
Participants to whom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of
Shares to be covered by each Stock Appreciation Right, the grant price thereof
and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise thereof. Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with another Award, in addition to
another Award, or freestanding and unrelated to another Award. Stock
Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with or in addition to an Award may be
granted either at the same time as the Award or at a later time.

                  (b) Exercise and Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall
entitle the Participant to receive an amount equal to the product of (i) the
excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the
Stock Appreciation Right over (B) the grant price per Share, times (ii) the
number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee shall
determine whether a Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled in cash, Shares or
a combination of cash and Shares.

                                                                               6

                  (c) Other Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the
Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine, at or
after the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the term, methods of exercise,
methods and form of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of the Stock
Appreciation Right. Any such determination by the Committee may be changed by
the Committee from time to time and may govern the exercise of Stock
Appreciation Rights granted or exercised prior to such determination as well as
Stock Appreciation Rights granted or exercised thereafter. The Committee may
impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation
Right as it shall deem appropriate.

                  8. Other Stock-Based Awards.

                  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of
Shares, rights to purchase Shares, Awards of restricted Shares, Awards of
phantom stock units and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares ("OTHER
STOCK-BASED AWARDS"). Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and
dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent
cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of service,
the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives.
Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards
granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee
shall determine: (a) to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; (b)
the number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other
Stock-Based Awards; (c) whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled
in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and (d) all other terms and
conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the
vesting provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded
and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

                  9. Adjustments Upon Certain Events.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the
contrary, the following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the
Plan:

                  (a) Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding
Shares after the Effective Date by reason of any Share dividend or split,
reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination
or transaction or exchange of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any
distribution to shareholders of Shares other than regular cash dividends or any
transaction similar to the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion and
without liability to any person may make such substitution or adjustment, if
any, as it deems to be equitable, as to (i) the number or kind of Shares or
other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan or
pursuant to outstanding Awards, (ii) the Option Price and/or (iii) any other
affected terms of such Awards.

                  (b) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control
after the Effective Date, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for
the (i) termination of an Award upon the consummation of the Change of Control,
but only if such Award has vested and been paid out or the Participant has been
permitted to exercise the Option in full for a period of not less

                                                                               7

than 30 days prior to the Change of Control, (ii) acceleration of all or any
portion of an Award, (iii) payment of an amount (in cash or, in the discretion
of the Committee, in the form of consideration paid to shareholders of the
Company in connection with such Change of Control) in exchange for the
cancellation of an Award, which, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights, may equal the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights over the aggregate Option
Price or grant price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Rights, and/or (iv)
issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise
applicable terms of any affected Awards previously granted hereunder.

                  10. No Right to Employment or Awards.

                  The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no
obligation on the Company or any of its Affiliates to continue the employment of
a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company's or its Affiliates'
rights to terminate the employment of such Participant. No Participant or other
Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation
for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of
Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee's determinations
and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to
each Participant (whether or not such Participants are similarly situated).

                  11. Successors and Assigns.

                  The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the
Company and a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such
Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any
receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant's
creditors.

                  12. Nontransferability of Awards.

                  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award shall
not be transferable or assignable by the Participant other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution. An Award exercisable after the death of a
Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or
distributees of the Participant.

                  13. Awards Subject to the Plan.

                  In the event of a conflict between any term or provision
contained in the Plan and a term or provision in any Award Agreement, the
applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail.

                  14. Severability.

                  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, becomes or is
deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any
Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended
to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the
intent

                                                                               8

of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such
jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
shall remain in full force and effect.

                  15. Amendments or Termination.

                  (a) Amendments or Termination of the Plan. The Committee may
