        Leased Property or Tenant's Personal Property, if any, for any unlawful
        purpose. Tenant shall not cause nor permit the Leased Property, or any
        portion thereof, to be used in such a manner as (i) might reasonably
        impair Landlord's title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (ii) may
        reasonably allow a claim or claims for adverse usage or adverse
        possession by the public, as such, or of implied dedication of the

        representatives with respect thereto (collectively, "Environmental
        Notice"), which Environmental Notice requires a written response or any
        action to be taken and/or if such Environmental Notice gives notice of
        and/or presents a material risk of any material violation of any

               If, at any time prior to the termination of this Agreement,
        Hazardous Substances (other than those maintained in accordance with
        Applicable Laws) are discovered on the Leased Property, subject to
        Tenant's right to contest the same in accordance with Article 8, Tenant
        and Landlord shall cooperate to take all actions as are required by any
        Government Agency and by applicable Law, (i) to clean up and remove from
        and about the Leased Property all Hazardous Substances thereon, (ii) to
        contain and prevent any further release or threat of release of
        Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property and (iii) to use
        good faith efforts to eliminate any further release or threat of release
        of Hazardous Substances on or about the Leased Property. If the
        Hazardous Substance is found to be related to activities of the

or install any Capital Additions, make certain routine repairs and maintenance

                                    ARTICLE 9

                          INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

        9.1 General Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall, at all times during
the Term and at any other time Tenant shall be in possession of the Leased
Property, keep in force insurance, premiums thereof to be prepaid by Tenant
(without notice or demand) against loss by fire, tornado and other hazards,
casualties and contingencies as Landlord may reasonably require on all buildings
and improvements, now or hereafter placed on said premises and any personal
property which may be subject to this Lease, in an amount of coverage which will
pay for the replacement costs of said building, improvements, and personal
property, at the time of the damage or loss thereto; and not merely pay the
value of said real and personal property at the time of said loss. Also, Tenant
shall secure insurance for that amount necessary to pay the costs of cleaning up
the refuse, debris or preventing against hazards resulting from the damage or
destruction of real estate, improvements, or personal property from the
casualties of and risks insured against. All of the aforesaid insurance shall be
payable to Landlord and Tenant as their interests appear. Tenant shall promptly
deposit such policy or policies with proper riders with Landlord for the further
security for the payment for the sums herein mentioned. In the event of any such
casualty loss, insurance proceeds may be used under the supervision of Landlord
to replace or repair the loss and the proceeds of said policies shall stand as
security for the payment of the obligations herein.

        9.2 Indemnity and Liability Insurance. Except for negligence of
Landlord, Tenant will protect, defend and indemnify Landlord from any and all
loss, costs, damages and expenses occasioned by, or arising out of, any accident
or other occurrence causing or inflicting injury or damage to any person or
property, happening or done in, upon or about the premises, or due directly or
indirectly to the tenancy, use or occupancy thereof, or any part thereof by
Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant. Tenant will procure and
maintain liability insurance in the amounts of not less than $500,000.00 for any
person injured, $1,000,000.00 for any one accident, and with limits of
$100,000.00 for property damage, which names Landlord is insured; and the policy
or policies for said indemnity and liability insurance will be deposited with
Landlord and said insurance proceeds shall stand as security for the Term of
Lease, all as stated in the preceding paragraph 9.1 above.

        9.3 Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Article 9, Tenant's obligation to maintain the insurance herein required
may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of
insurance carried and maintained by Tenant, provided, that (a) the coverage
thereby afforded will not be reduced or diminished from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, the amounts of insurance that are required to be
maintained pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall be on a Motel and Hospitality
Facility by Motel and Hospitality Facility basis.

                                   ARTICLE 10

                                    CASUALTY

        10.1 Insurance Proceeds. Except as provided in the last clause of this
sentence, all proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased
Property as incurred by Landlord, or any portion thereof, and insured under any
policy of insurance required by Article 9 (other than the proceeds of any
business interruption insurance) shall be paid directly to Landlord (subject to
the provisions of Section 10.2) and all loss adjustments with respect to losses
payable to Landlord shall require the prior written consent of Landlord;
provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, all such proceeds less than or equal to Seven Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($750,000)

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

shall be paid directly to Tenant and such losses may be adjusted without
Landlord's consent. Notwithstanding, if Tenant is required to reconstruct or
repair the Leased Property, such proceeds payable to the Landlord shall be paid
to Tenant. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion of
the restoration shall be paid to Tenant. All salvage resulting from any risk
covered by insurance shall belong to the party who had possession and duty to
maintain the property, provided, any rights to the same have been waived by the
insurer.

        10.2 Total Destruction of Business Use. In the event of the destruction
or damage of the Leased Properties, including the parking area, so that Tenant
is not able to conduct its business on the premises, for the then current legal
use for which the premises are being used and which are damages that cannot be
repaired within 60 days, this Lease may be terminated at the option of either
Landlord or Tenant. Such termination in such event shall be affected by written
notice of one party to the other party, within twenty (20) days after such
destruction. Tenant shall render possession within ten (10) days after such
notice issues; and, each party shall be released from all future obligations
hereunder, subject to the provision that in the event Tenant is able to use a
portion of the premises, Tenant shall pay prorated rental after destruction of a
portion of said leased premises. In the event of such termination of this Lease,
Landlord, at its option, may rebuild or not, according to its own wishes and
needs.

        10.3 Loss of Income Insurance. Tenant shall, upon the execution of this
Agreement, deliver to Landlord proof of coverage for loss of income insurance;
which insurance shall be kept and maintained by Tenant for the first 365 days of
this lease term in the same amount of coverage as is presently kept and
maintained by Landlord. Thereafter, Tenant shall keep and maintain that same
amount of coverage as stated herein for loss of income insurance during the
remainder of the lease term, including any extensions and renewals thereof.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                                  CONDEMNATION

        11.1 Total Condemnation. If either (i) the whole of the Leased Property
shall be taken by Condemnation or (ii) a Condemnation of less than the whole of
the Leased Property renders the Leased Property Unsuitable for Its Permitted
Use, this Agreement shall terminate, Tenant and Landlord shall seek the Award
for their interests in the Leased Property as provided in Section 11.3 and
Tenant shall thereafter have no obligation to pay Rent for periods arising after
the effective date of termination.

        11.2 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of any Temporary Condemnation
of the Leased Property, this Agreement and Tenant's obligations to make all
payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as required under this Agreement
shall be abated during the time of the Temporary Condemnation.

        11.3 Allocation of Award. The total Award from the above referenced
Condemnation of the Leased Property shall be distributed proportionally
according to the total amount of loss suffered by Landlord and Tenant. Any
portion of the Award made for the taking of Tenant's leasehold interest in the
Leased Property, loss of business during the remainder of the Term, the taking
of Tenant's Personal Property, or Tenant's removal and relocation expenses shall
be the sole property of and payable to Tenant. In any Condemnation proceedings,
Landlord and Tenant shall each seek its own Award at its own expense.

        11.4 Effect on Other Leases. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant
to this Article 11 shall not terminate or otherwise affect Other Leases or
Tenant's ability to extend Other Leases.

                                   ARTICLE 12

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

        12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an "Event of Default":

               (a) should Tenant fail to maintain the casualty insurance
        required under Article 9, Paragraph 9, this Lease shall be terminated by
        Landlord if Tenant fails to secure said casualty insurance within three
        (3) days after receipt of certified mail (or personal delivery to a
        managing employee on the leased premises) of notice of said default to
        Tenant;"

               (b) should Tenant or Landlord default in the due observance or
        performance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained
        herein to be performed or observed by it (other than as specified in (a)
        immediately preceding this subparagraph) and such default shall continue
        for a period of 30 Business Days after notice thereof from the
        non-defaulting party; provided, however, that if such default is
        susceptible of cure but such cure cannot be accomplished with due
        diligence within such period of time, and if, in addition, the
        defaulting party commences to cure such default within 5 Business Days
        after notice thereof from the non-defaulting party; and thereafter
        prosecutes the curing of such default with all due diligence, such
        period of time shall be extended, but not to exceed 10 days in the
        aggregate to cure such default;

               (c) should an event of default by Landlord or Tenant occur and be
        continuing beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period under any
        of any Other Leases; or

               (d) should there occur a final unappealable determination by
        applicable state authorities of the revocation or limitation of any
        material license, permit, certification or approval required for the
        lawful operation of the Motel and Hospitality Facility in accordance
        with its Permitted Use or the loss or material limitation of any
        material license, permit, certification or approval under any other
        circumstances under which Tenant is required to cease its operation of
        the Motel and Hospitality Facility in accordance with its Permitted Use
        at the time of such loss or limitation; or

               (e) should any material representation or warranty made by Tenant
        or Landlord under or in connection with this Agreement, any Other
        Leases, or in any document, certificate or agreement delivered in
        connection herewith or therewith prove to have been false or misleading
        in any material respect on the date when made or deemed made and the
        same shall continue for five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof from
        Landlord or Tenant; or

               (f) should any petition be filed by or against Tenant or Landlord
        under the Federal bankruptcy laws, or should any other proceeding be
        instituted by or against Tenant or Landlord seeking liquidation,
        reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of Tenant's or
        Landlord's debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or
        reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order
        for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
        similar official for Tenant or Landlord or for any substantial part of
        the property of Tenant or Landlord, and such proceeding is not dismissed
        within ninety (90) days after institution.

        12.2 Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 12.1,
Landlord or Tenant, in addition to all other remedies available to it, may

        13.1 In the event Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Agreement, such holding over shall be on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent applicable. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord all Rent due Landlord based upon the terms of this Agreement.

                 LANDLORD'S NOTICE OBLIGATIONS; LANDLORD DEFAULT

        14.1 Landlord Notice Obligation. Landlord shall give prompt Notice to
Tenant of any matters affecting the Leased Property of which Landlord receives
written Notice or actual knowledge and, to the extent Tenant otherwise has no
Notice or actual knowledge, Landlord shall be liable and indemnify Tenant for
any liabilities arising from the failure to deliver such Notice to Tenant.

        14.2 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in the performance or
observance of any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement or
any obligation of Landlord, if any, under any agreement affecting the Leased
Property, the performance of which is not Tenant's obligation pursuant to this
Agreement, and any such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof with respect to monetary defaults and sixty (60) days after
Notice thereof with respect to non-monetary defaults from Tenant to Landlord and
any applicable Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee, or such additional
period as may be reasonably required to correct the same, Tenant may declare the
occurrence of a "Landlord Default" by a second Notice to Landlord and to such
Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee. Thereafter, Tenant may forthwith cure
the same and, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, invoice
Landlord for costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in curing the same, together
with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) from the date Landlord
receives Tenant's First Notice, at the Overdue Rate. Tenant may at its election

counterclaim against any Rent or other charges due hereunder to Landlord.

                                   ARTICLE 15

                                 PURCHASE RIGHTS

        15.1 Option to Purchase. Tenant shall have an option to purchase the
Leased Property upon the following terms and conditions:

               (a) Option to Purchase. Landlord herein grants Tenant an option
to purchase the Leased Property for the total purchase price of $650,000. As
consideration for the option, Tenant's parent company, Country Maid Financial,
Inc., a Washington corporation ("Country Maid"), shall issue to Landlord 650
shares of its Class C Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") which shall be
convertible, twelve (12) months after the issuance of the Preferred Stock, into
common stock of Country Maid with a value of $130,000 at the time of conversion
as stated in the Certificate of Designation of Country Maid, a copy of which is
hereby acknowledged received by Landlord. The option is exercisable only during
the last sixty (60) days of the fourth five-year term of the Lease. If Tenant
elects not to lease the premises for the full twenty-year period, this option to
purchase shall become null and void.

        15.2 First Refusal Option to Purchase. In the event the Tenant does not
exercise its option to purchase the Leased Property as provided in Section 15.1,
Tenant shall have a first refusal option to purchase the Leased Property upon
the same price, terms and conditions as Landlord shall propose to sell the
Leased Property, or upon the same price, terms and conditions of any offer from
a third party to purchase the Leased Property which Landlord intends to accept
(or has accepted subject to Tenant's right of first refusal herein provided);
provided, however, that, if the proposed purchase price is for other than cash,
Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Leased Property on cash equivalent
terms determined by the agreement of the parties or, if they cannot agree within
twenty (20) Business Days, by arbitration by the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. If, during the Term, Landlord reaches such agreement
with a third party or proposes to offer the Leased Property for sale, Landlord
shall promptly give written notice to Tenant of the purchase price and all other
material terms and conditions of such agreement or proposed sale and Tenant
shall have sixty (60) days thereafter to exercise Tenant's option to purchase by
written notice to Landlord thereof. Failure of Tenant to respond within such
60-day period shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to purchase the Leased
Property with respect to such offer.

        15.3 If Tenant exercises its option under Section 15.2, the sale to
Tenant shall be consummated upon the same terms and conditions as contained in
such agreement or Landlord's notice of the proposed sale. If Tenant shall not
exercise its option to purchase within the time period and in the manner above
provided, Landlord shall be free to sell the Leased Property to such third party
at the price and upon terms substantially similar to those offered to Tenant;
provided however that the purchaser assumes the landlord's obligations of this
Lease. The provisions of Sections 15.1 and 15.2 shall inure to the benefit of
Tenant and any permitted successors and assigns of Tenant pursuant to this
Agreement. This First Refusal Option to Purchase is exercisable during the terms
of the Lease, as renewed if elected by Tenant pursuant to Article 2 of this
Lease, and within sixty (60) days after the termination of said Lease.

                                   ARTICLE 16

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

        16.1 Subletting and Assignment. Except as provided in Section 16.4 and

Agreement shall not include any direct or indirect transfer of any interest in
Tenant such that Tenant shall cease to be a wholly owned direct or partial
sublease or any indirect Subsidiary of TIM or CMFI or any transaction pursuant
to which Tenant is merged or consolidated with another Entity or pursuant to
which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets are transferred to any other
Entity, as if such change in control or transaction were an assignment of this
Agreement, and the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit collateral
assignments or pledges of the capital stock of Tenant to Lending Institutions
otherwise permitted by this Agreement.

        16.2 If the Leased Property or any part thereof are sublet all Rent and
payments from the sublessee shall be paid to the Tenant. Tenant shall remain
responsible for the full payment of Rent as provided in Article 3.

primary liability of Tenant hereunder (unless Landlord and Tenant expressly
otherwise agree that Tenant shall be released from all obligations hereunder).

Landlord, sublease space at the Leased Property for newsstand, gift shop,
parking garage, health club, restaurant, bar or commissary purposes or similar
concessions in furtherance of the Permitted Use, so long as such subleases do
not demise, in the aggregate, in excess of 50% of the square footage of the
Leased Property, will not violate or affect any Legal Requirement or Insurance
Requirement, and Tenant shall provide such additional insurance coverage
applicable to the activities to be conducted in such subleased space as Landlord
and any Motel and Hospitality Facility Mortgagee may reasonably require.

inspect the Leased Property during usual business hours without notice for the
purposes of checking the maintenance and repair of the premises as Tenant is
permitted or required to make pursuant to the terms of this Lease and also for

Property upon which the percentage rent payable to Landlord pursuant to Article

<PAGE>   18

of the premises or Tenant's financial records by Landlord or its representatives
will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and operation of the Leased
Property and further provided that in the event of an emergency, Landlord and
its representatives shall have the right to inspect at times other than during
usual business hours, and, without notice. Tenant will keep upon the leased
premises a record of its daily receipts and revenues from the operation of the
motel and hospitality facility which shall be at all times made available to
Landlord or its representatives to determine the accuracy of said receipts and
the percentage rent payable by Tenant to Landlord.

        18.2 Daily Income. Tenant shall each day deliver or fax to Landlord a

person, firm, or corporation, Tenant shall each day fax or deliver to Landlord a
written statement verified by the manager or assistant manager of said leased
premises accurately showing said daily results.

Leasehold Mortgagee shall promptly provide Notice of such new address, amendment
or assignment to Landlord, together with a copy of each such amendment or

right, at any time during the Term hereof, while this Agreement is in full force

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        21.1 No Waiver. No failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the
strict performance of any term contained in this Agreement or to exercise any
right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach, and no acceptance of full or
partial payment of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall
constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any such term. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, no waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this
Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any
other then existing or subsequent breach.

        21.2 Remedies Cumulative. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each
legal, equitable or contractual right, power and remedy of Landlord or Tenant,
now or hereafter provided either in this Agreement or by statute or otherwise,
shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other

Landlord or Tenant (as applicable) of any one or more of such rights, powers and
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by such
party of any or all of such other rights, powers and remedies.

        21.3 Severability. Any clause, sentence, paragraph, section or provision

        21.4 No Merger of Title. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that it
is the intent of the parties that there shall be no merger of this Agreement or
of the leasehold estate created hereby by reason of the fact that the same

leasehold estate created hereby and the fee estate or ground landlord's interest
in the Leased Property.

      4. Administration.

      (a) The Plan shall be administered by a Stock Option Committee or, if such
Committee not be appointed, by the Board. If the Board administers the Plan, all
of the directors acting in this regard must be Disinterested Persons. For
purposes of the Plan, the Board or its appointed Committee shall be referred to
as the "Committee". The Committee, if any, shall be appointed by the Board and
shall consist of not less than two members, each of whom is a Disinterested
Person. The Board shall fill all vacancies on the Committee and may remove any
member of the Committee at any time with or without cause, provided that the

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Board replaces such member with a Disinterested Person. The Committee shall
select its own chairman and shall adopt, alter or repeal such rules and
procedures as it may deem proper and shall hold its meetings at such times and
places as it may determine. The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings and
of actions taken by it without a meeting. A majority of the Committee present at
any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts approved in writing by all
members of the Committee without a meeting, shall be the acts of the Committee.

      (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall have
full and final authority in its discretion, but subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, to (i) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan; (ii) interpret the Plan and the respective
Stock Options; and (iii) make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for administering the Plan. All determinations and interpretations by the

      5. Terms and Exercise of Stock Option.

      (a) Each Stock Option shall terminate no later than ten years after the
date on which it shall have been granted.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

The date of termination pursuant to this paragraph is referred to hereinafter as
the "termination date of the option".

      (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Stock Options shall be
exercisable with respect to 20% of the shares subject to the Stock Option on the
date of grant and an additional 20% on each of the succeeding four anniversaries
of the date of grant. Any shares which may be purchased on any such date or
other period which are not purchased on such date or other period may be
purchased at any time or from time to time during any subsequent time period
during the term of the Stock Option.

      (c) A Stock Option shall be exercised by written notice to the Secretary
or Treasurer of the Company at its then principal office. The notice shall
specify the number of shares as to which the Stock Option is being exercised and
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price for such shares;
provided, however, that an optionee at his or her discretion may, in lieu of
cash payment, (i) deliver Common Stock already owed by him or her, valued at
fair market value on the date of delivery, as payment for the exercise of any
Stock Option or (ii) request that the Company withhold, from the number of
shares of Common Stock that may otherwise be obtained upon the exercise of the
Stock Option, that number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal
to the Stock Option exercise price. In the event a Stock Option is being
exercised, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 6(c) hereof by any person
other than the optionee, a notice of election shall be accompanied by

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

proof satisfactory to the Company of the rights of such person to exercise said
Stock Option. An optionee shall not, by virtue of the granting of a Stock
Option, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company and such
optionee shall not be considered a record holder of shares purchased by him or
her until the date on which he or she shall actually be recorded as the holder
of such shares upon the stock records of the Company. The Company shall not be
required to issue any fractional shares upon exercise of any Stock Option and
shall not be required to pay to the person exercising the Stock Option the cash
equivalent of any fractional share interest unless so determined by the
Committee.

      (d) In the event an optionee elects to deliver Common Stock already owned
by such optionee or to request that Common Stock be withheld in accordance with
subsection (c) above, upon exercise of a Stock Option granted hereunder, the
Company shall be entitled to require as a condition thereto that the optionee
remit an amount which the Company deems sufficient to satisfy all Federal, State
and other governmental withholding tax requirements related thereto. The Company
shall have the right, in lieu of or in addition to the foregoing to withhold
such sums from compensation otherwise due to the optionee.

      6. Other Stock Option Conditions.

      (a) No Stock Option shall be transferred by the optionee otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the
optionee the Stock

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

Option shall be exercisable only by such optionee or by his or her legal
representative.

      (b) In the event of the termination of an optionee's employment by the
Company at any time for any reason (excluding disability or death), his or her
option and all rights thereunder shall be exercisable by the optionee at any
time within thirty (30) days thereafter but in no event later than the
termination date of his or her Stock Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event an Optionee is permanently and totally disabled (within the meaning of
Section 105(d)(4), or any successor section, of the Code), his or her Stock
Option and all rights thereunder shall be exercisable by the optionee (or his or
her legal representative) at any time within six (6) months of termination of
employment, but in no event later than the termination date of his Stock Option.

      (c) If an Optionee shall die while in the employ of the Company, his or
her Stock Option may be exercised by his or her designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries (or if none have been effectively designated, by his or her
executor, administrator or the person to whom his or her rights under his or her
Stock Option shall pass by will or by the laws of descent and distribution) at
any time within six (6) months after the date of death, but not later than the
termination date of his or her Stock Option.

      (d) Each Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a
written Stock Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company and the optionee,
in such form and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

containing such provisions as the Committee may from time to time authorize or
approve.

      7. Adjustments. The Stock Option Agreements shall contain such provisions
as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate for the adjustment of the
kind and number of shares subject to each outstanding Stock Option, or the Stock
Option prices, or both, in the event of any changes in the outstanding Common
Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, stock splits,
recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or
exchanges of shares, and the like. In the event of any such change or changes in
the outstanding Common Stock, and as often as the same shall occur, the kind and
aggregate number of shares available under the Plan may be appropriately
adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be binding and conclusive.

      8. Amendment and Termination.

      (a) Unless the Plan shall have been otherwise terminated as provided
herein, it shall terminate on, and no option shall be granted thereunder, after
December 31, 2006. The Board may at any time prior to that date alter, suspend
or terminate the Plan as it may deem advisable. Except as otherwise hereinafter
provided, no alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the
consent of the optionee to whom any Stock Option shall have theretofore been
granted (or the person or persons entitled to exercise such Stock Option under
Section 6(c) of the Plan), terminate such optionee's Stock Option or adversely
affect such optionee's rights thereunder.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

      (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the
Board shall at any time declare it advisable to do so in connection with any
proposed sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and
assets of the Company or of any proposed consolidation or merger of the Company
(unless the Company shall be the surviving corporation in such merger), the
Company may give written notice to the holder of any Stock Option that his or
her Stock Option may be exercised only within thirty (30) days after the date of
such notice but not thereafter, and all rights under said Stock Option which
shall not have been so exercised shall terminate at the expiration of such
thirty (30) days, provided that the proposed sale, conveyance, consolidation or
merger to which such notice shall relate shall be consummated within six (6)
months after the date of such notice. If such proposed sale, conveyance,
consolidation or merger shall not be consummated within said time period, no
unexercised rights under any Stock Option shall be affected by such notice
except that such Stock Option may not be exercised between the date of
expiration of such thirty (30) days and the date of the expiration of such six
(6) months.

      9. Indemnification. Any member of the Committee or the Board who is made,
or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding, whether civil or
criminal, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a member of the
Committee or the Board insofar as it relates to the Plan shall be indemnified by
the Company, and the Company may advance such person's related

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

expenses, to the full extent permitted by law and/or the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company.

      10. Effective Date of the Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the
date of adoption by the Board.

      11. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein for the payment of
Federal, State and other governmental taxes, the Company shall pay all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the Plan.

      12. Government Regulations, Registrations and Listing of Stock.

      (a) The Plan, and the grant and exercise of Stock Options thereunder, and
the Company's obligation to sell and deliver stock under such Stock Options,
shall be subject to all applicable Federal and State laws, rules and regulations
and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be
required.

      (b) The Company may in its discretion require, whether or not a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the applicable rules
and regulations thereunder (collectively the "Act") is then in effect with
respect to shares issued upon exercise of any Stock Option, or the offer and
sale of such shares is exempt from the registration provisions of such Act, that
as a condition precedent to the exercise of any Stock Option, the person
exercising the Stock Option give to the Company a written representation and
undertaking, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, that such person
is acquiring the shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof and otherwise

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

establish to the Company's satisfaction that the offer or sale of the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option will not constitute or result in any
breach or violation of the Act or any similar act or statute or any rules or
regulations thereunder. In the event that a Registration Statement under the Act
is not then in effect with respect to the Common Shares issued upon the exercise
of such Stock Option, the Company may place upon any stock certificate an
appropriate legend referring to the restrictions on disposition under the Act.

      (c) In the event the class of shares issuable upon the exercise of any
Stock Option is listed on any national securities exchange or NASDAQ, the
Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares
upon the exercise of any Stock Option prior to the listing of the shares so
issuable on such national securities exchange or NASDAQ and prior to the
registration of the same under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any
similar act or statute.
