              including officers, whether or not directors, of the Company with
              awards and incentives for high levels of individual performance
              and improved financial performance of the Company and to attract,
              motivate and retain experienced and knowledgeable independent
              directors. "Corporation" means Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. and
              "Company" means the Corporation and its Subsidiaries,
              collectively. These terms and other capitalized terms are defined
              in Article 7.

       1.2    Administration and Authorization; Power and Procedure.

              1.2.1  Committee. This Plan shall be administered by and all
                     Awards to Eligible Employees shall be authorized by the
                     Committee. Action of the Committee with respect to the
                     administration of this Plan shall be taken pursuant to a
                     majority vote or by written consent of its members.

              1.2.2  Plan Awards; Interpretation; Powers of Committee. Subject
                     to the express provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall
                     have the authority:

                     (a)    to determine eligibility and, from among those
                            persons determined to be eligible, the particular
                            Eligible Persons who will receive an Award;

                     (b)    to grant Awards to Eligible Persons, determine the
                            price at which securities will be offered or awarded
                            and the amount of securities to be offered or
                            awarded to any of such persons, and determine the
                            other specific terms and conditions of such Awards
                            consistent with the express limits of this Plan, and
                            establish the installments (if any) in which such
                            Awards shall become exercisable or shall vest, or
                            determine that no delayed exercisability or vesting
                            is required, and establish the events of termination
                            or reversion of such Awards;

                     (c)    to approve the forms of Award Agreements (which need
                            not be identical either as to type of award or among
                            Participants);

                     (d)    to construe and interpret this Plan and any
                            agreements defining the rights and obligations of
                            the Company and Participants under this Plan,

                            terminate any or all outstanding Awards held by
                            Eligible Employees, subject to any required consent

<PAGE>

                     (f)    to accelerate or extend the exercisability or extend
                            the term of any or all such outstanding Awards
                            within the maximum ten-year term of Awards under
                            Section 1.6; and

                     (g)    to make all other determinations and take such other
                            action as contemplated by this Plan or as may be
                            necessary or advisable for the administration of
                            this Plan and the effectuation of its purposes.

                     The provisions of Article 8 relating to Non-Employee
                     Director Awards shall be automatic and, to the maximum
                     extent possible, self-effectuating. Although the discretion
                     of the Committee extends to those Awards, Board approval or
                     ratification shall be required for any material amendments
                     to any such Award.

              1.2.3  Binding Determinations/Liability Limitation. Any action
                     taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Subsidiary,
                     the Board or the Committee relating or pursuant to this
                     Plan and within its authority hereunder or under applicable
                     law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity
                     or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all
                     persons. Neither the Board nor any Committee, nor any
                     member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof.
                     shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation,
                     construction or determination made in good faith in
                     connection with this Plan (or any Award made under this
                     Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to
                     indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect
                     of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without
                     limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom
                     to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any
                     directors and officers liability insurance coverage that
                     may be in effect from time to time.

              1.2.4  Reliance on Experts. In making any determination or in
                     taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the
                     Committee or the Board, as the case may be, may obtain and
                     may rely upon the advice of experts, including professional
                     advisors to the Corporation. No director, officer or agent
                     of the Company shall be liable for any such action or
                     determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.

              1.2.5  Delegation. The Committee may delegate ministerial,
                     non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers
                     or employees of the Company. Subject to Section 6.4 and
                     6.10, the Committee may also delegate, to the extent
                     permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware General
                     Corporation Law, to one or more officers of the
                     Corporation, its powers under this Plan (a) to designate
                     the officers and employees of the Corporation or any of its
                     Subsidiaries who will receive grants of rights or options
                     to purchase shares of Common Stock, and (b) to determine
                     the number of rights or options to be received by them,
                     pursuant to a resolution that specifies the total number of
                     rights or options that may be granted under the delegation,
                     provided that no officer may be delegated the power to
                     designate himself or herself as a recipient of such options
                     or rights.

       1.3    Participation. Awards may be granted by the Committee only to
              those persons that the Committee determines to be Eligible
              Persons. An Eligible Person who has been granted an Award may, if
              otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards if the Committee
              shall so determine.

                     shall be limited to 170,000* and the maximum individual
                     limit on the number of shares in the aggregate subject to
                     all Awards that during any calendar year are granted under
                     this Plan shall be 170,000.* Each of the foregoing
                     numerical limits shall be subject to adjustment as
                     contemplated by this Section 1.4 and Section 6.2.

              1.4.3  Share Reservation; Replenishment and Reissue of Unvested
                     Awards. No Award may be granted under this Plan unless, on
                     the date of grant, the sum of (a) the maximum number of
                     shares issuable at any time pursuant to such Award, plus
                     (b) the number of shares that have previously been issued
                     pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan, other than
                     reacquired shares available for reissue consistent with any
                     applicable legal limitations, plus (c) the maximum number
                     of shares that may be issued at any time after such date of
                     grant pursuant to Awards that are outstanding on such date,
                     does not exceed the Share Limit. Shares that are subject to
                     or underlie Awards which expire or for any reason are
                     cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or
                     for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this
                     Plan, as well as reacquired shares, shall again, except to
                     the extent prohibited by law, be available for subsequent
                     Awards under this Plan. Except as limited by law, if an
                     Award is or may be settled only in cash, such Award need
                     not be counted against any of the limits under this Section
                     1.4.

       1.5    Grant of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan,
              the Committee shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock
              subject to each Award, the price (if any) to be paid for the
              shares or the Award and, in the case of performance share awards,
              in addition to matters addressed in Section 1.2.2, the specific
              objectives, goals and performance criteria (such as an increase in
              sales, market value, earnings or book value over a base period,
              the years of service before vesting, the relevant job
              classification or level of responsibility or other factors) that
              further define the terms of the performance share award. Each
              Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement signed by the
              Corporation and, if required by the Committee, by the Participant.
              The Award Agreement shall set forth the material terms and
              conditions of the Award established by the Committee consistent
              with the specific provisions of this Plan.

       1.6    Award Period. Each Award and all executory rights or obligations
              under the related Award Agreement shall expire on such date (if
              any) as shall be determined by the Committee, but in the case of
              Options or other rights to acquire Common Stock (other than Stock
              Units credited pursuant to Section 4.1.2 in respect of deferred
              compensation or the deferred payment of an Award) not later than
              ten (10) years after the Award Date.

       1.7    Limitations on Exercise and Vesting of Awards.

              1.7.1  Provisions for Exercise. Unless the Committee otherwise
                     expressly provides, no Award shall be exercisable or shall
                     vest until at least one year after the initial Award Date,
                     and once exercisable an Award shall remain exercisable
                     until the expiration or earlier termination of the Award.

              1.7.2  Procedure. Any exercisable Award shall be deemed to be
                     exercised when the Secretary of the Corporation receives
                     written notice of such exercise from the Participant,
                     together with any required payment made in accordance with
                     Section 2.2 or 8.4, as the case may be.

              1.7.3  Fractional Shares/Minimum Issue. Fractional share interests
                     shall be disregarded, but may be accumulated. The
                     Committee, however, may determine in the case of Eligible
                     Persons that cash, other securities, or other property will
                     be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional share
                     interests. No fewer than 100 shares may be purchased on
                     exercise of any Award at one time unless the number
                     purchased is the total number at the time available for
                     purchase under the Award.

       1.8    Acceptance of Notes to Finance Exercise. The Corporation may, with
              the Committee's approval, accept one or more notes from any
              Eligible Person in connection with the exercise or receipt of any
              outstanding Award; provided that any such note shall be subject to
              the following terms and conditions:

              (a)    The principal of the note shall not exceed the amount
                     required to be paid to the Corporation upon the exercise or
                     receipt of one or more Awards under this Plan and the note
                     shall be delivered directly to the Corporation in
                     consideration of such exercise or receipt.

              (b)    The initial term of the note shall be determined by the
                     Committee; provided that the term of the note, including
                     extensions, shall not exceed a period of five years.

              (c)    The note shall provide for full recourse to the Participant
                     and shall bear interest at a rate determined by the
                     Committee but not less than the interest rate necessary to
                     avoid the imputation of interest under the Code.

              (d)    If the employment of the Participant terminates, the unpaid
                     principal balance of the note shall become due and payable
                     on the date of such termination; provided, however, that if
                     a sale of such shares would cause such Participant to incur
                     liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the
                     unpaid balance shall become due and payable on the 10th
                     business day after the first day on which a sale of such
                     shares could have been made without incurring such
                     liability

                                       4

                     assuming for these purposes that there are no other
                     transactions (or deemed transactions in securities of this
                     Corporation) by the Participant subsequent to such
                     termination.

              (e)    If required by the Committee or by applicable law, the note
                     shall be secured by a pledge of any shares or rights
                     financed thereby in compliance with applicable law.

              (f)    If required by the Committee and consistent with applicable
                     law, the note shall include a right of offset in favor of
                     the Corporation.

              (g)    The terms, repayment provisions, and collateral release
                     provisions of the note and the pledge securing the note
                     shall conform with applicable rules and regulations of the
                     Federal Reserve Board as then in effect.

       1.9    No Transferability; Limited Exception to Transfer Restrictions.

              1.9.1  Limit On Exercise and Transfer. Unless otherwise expressly
                     provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 1.9, by
                     applicable law and by the Award Agreement, as the same may
                     be amended, (a) Awards are non-transferable and shall not
                     be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation,
                     alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (b)
                     Awards shall be exercised only by the Participant; and (c)
                     amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any Award
                     shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the
                     Participant.

              1.9.2  Exceptions. The Committee may permit Awards to be exercised
                     by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the
                     Participant, including but not limited to members of the
                     Participant's immediate family, trusts or other entities
                     controlled by or whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners
                     are the Participant and/or members of the Participant's
                     immediate family, pursuant to such conditions and
                     procedures, including limitations on subsequent transfers,
                     as the Committee may establish. Consistent with Section
                     6.4, any permitted transfer shall be subject to the
                     condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory
                     to it that the transfer (a) is being made for essentially
                     donative, estate and/or tax planning purposes on a
                     gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration
                     (other than nominal consideration or in exchange for an
                     interest in a qualified transferee), and (b) will not
                     compromise the Corporation's ability to register shares
                     issuable under this Plan on SEC Form S-8 under the
                     Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
                     in Section 1.9.3, Incentive Stock Options and Restricted
                     Stock Awards shall be subject to any and all additional
                     transfer restrictions under the Code to the extent
                     necessary to maintain the intended favorable tax
                     consequences of such Awards.

              1.9.3  Further Exceptions to Limits On Transfer. The exercise and
                     transfer restrictions in Section 1.9.1 shall not apply to:

                     (a)    transfers to the Corporation,

                     (b)    the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits
                            in the event of the Participant's death or, if the
                            Participant has died, transfers to or exercise

                                       5

                            by the Participant's beneficiary, or, in the absence
                            of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by
                            will or the laws of descent and distribution,

                     (c)    subject to any applicable Incentive Stock Option
                            limitations, transfers to a family member (or former
                            family member) pursuant to a domestic relations
                            order if approved or ratified by the Committee,

                     (d)    if the Participant has suffered a disability,
                            permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the
                            Participant by his or her legal representative, or

                     (e)    the authorization by the Committee of "cashless
                            exercise" procedures with third parties who provide
                            financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise
                            facilitate) the exercise of Awards consistent with
                            applicable laws and the express authorization of the
                            Committee.

2.     OPTIONS

       2.1    Grants. One or more Options may be granted under this Article 2 to
              any Eligible Person. Each Option granted shall be designated in
              the applicable Award Agreement, by the Committee as either an
              Incentive Stock Option, subject to Section 2.3, or a Non-Qualified
              Stock Option.

       2.2    Option Price.

              2.2.1  Pricing Limits. The purchase price per share of the Common
                     Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the
                     Committee at the time of the Award, but in the case of
                     Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than 100% (110%
                     in the case of a Participant described in Section 2.3.4) of
                     the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of
                     grant and in all cases shall not be less than the par value
                     thereof.

              2.2.2  Payment Provisions. The purchase price of any shares
                     purchased on exercise of an Option granted under this
                     Article 2 shall be paid in full at the time of each
                     purchase in one or a combination of the following methods:

                     .      in cash or by electronic funds transfer;

                     .      by check payable to the order of the Corporation;

                     .      if authorized by the Committee or specified in the
                            applicable Award Agreement, by a promissory note of
                            the Participant consistent with the requirements of
                            Section 1.8;

                     .      by notice and third party payment in such manner as
                            may be authorized by the Committee; or

                     .      by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the
                            Corporation already owned by the Participant;

                                       6

<PAGE>

                            provided, however, that the Committee may in its
                            absolute discretion limit the Participant's ability
                            to exercise an Award by delivering such shares, and
                            provided further that any shares delivered which
                            were initially acquired upon exercise of a stock
                            option must have been owned by the Participant at
                            least six months as of the date of delivery. Shares
                            of Common Stock used to satisfy the exercise price
                            of an Option shall be valued at their Fair Market
                            Value on the date of exercise. Without limiting the
                            generality of the foregoing, the Committee may
                            provide that an Option can be exercised and payment
                            made by delivering a properly executed exercise
                            notice together with irrevocable instructions to a
                            broker to promptly deliver to the Corporation the
                            amount of sale proceeds necessary to pay the
                            exercise price and, unless otherwise prohibited by
                            the Committee or applicable law, any applicable tax
                            withholding under Section 6.5. The Corporation will
                            not be obligated to deliver certificates for any
                            shares unless and until it receives full payment of
                            the exercise price therefor and any related
                            withholding obligations under Section 6.5 and any
                            other conditions to exercise have been satisfied

       2.3    Limitations on Grant and Terms of Incentive Stock Options.

              2.3.1  $100,000 Limit. To the extent that the aggregate "Fair
                     Market Value" of stock with respect to which incentive
                     stock options first become exercisable by a Participant in
                     any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account
                     both Common Stock subject to Incentive Stock Options under
                     this Plan and stock subject to incentive stock options
                     under all other plans of the Company or any parent
                     corporation of the Corporation, such options shall be
                     treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For this purpose,
                     the "Fair Market Value" of the stock subject to options
                     shall be determined as of the date the options were
                     awarded. In reducing the number of options treated as
                     incentive stock options to meet the $100,000 limit, the
                     most recently granted options shall be reduced first. To
                     the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is
                     necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Committee may, in
                     the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate
                     which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares
                     acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock
                     Option.

              2.3.2  Option Period. Each Option and all rights thereunder shall
                     expire no later than 10 years after the Award Date.

              2.3.3  Other Code Limits. Incentive Stock Options may only be
                     granted to Eligible Employees of the Corporation or a
                     Subsidiary that satisfies the other eligibility
                     requirements of the Code. There shall be imposed in any
                     Award Agreement relating to Incentive Stock Options such
                     other terms and conditions as from time to time are
                     required in order that the Option be an "incentive stock
                     option" as that term is defined in Section 422 of the Code.

              2.3.4  Limits on 10% Holders. No Incentive Stock Option may be
                     granted to any person who, at the time the Option is
                     granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of
                     the Code) shares of outstanding Common Stock possessing
                     more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
                     classes of stock of the Corporation, unless the exercise
                     price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market
                     Value of the stock subject to the Option and such Option by
                     its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five
                     years from the date such Option is granted.

       2.4    Option Repricing/Cancellation and Regrant/Waiver of Restrictions.
              Subject to Section 1.4 and Section 6.6 and the specific
              limitations on Awards contained in this Plan, the Committee from
              time to time may authorize, generally or in specific cases only,
              for the benefit of any Eligible Person any adjustment in the
              exercise or purchase price, the vesting schedule, the number of
              shares subject to, the restrictions upon or the term of, an Award
              granted under this Article 2 by cancellation of an outstanding
              Award and a subsequent regranting of an Award, by amendment, by
              substitution of an outstanding Award, by waiver or by other
              legally valid means. Such amendment or other action may result
              among other changes in an exercise or purchase price which is
              higher or lower than the exercise or purchase price of the
              original or prior Award, provide for a greater or lesser number of
              shares subject to the Award, or provide for a longer or shorter
              vesting or exercise period.

       2.5    Effects of Termination of Employment or Service.

              2.5.1  Dismissal for Cause. Unless otherwise provided in the Award
                     Agreement and subject to earlier termination pursuant to or
                     as contemplated by Section 1.6 or 6.2, if a Participant's
                     employment by or service to the Company is terminated by
                     the Company for Cause, the Participant's outstanding
                     Options will terminate immediately, whether or not the
                     Options are then vested and/or exercisable.

              2.5.2  Voluntary Terminations. Unless otherwise provided in the
                     Award Agreement and subject to earlier termination pursuant
                     to or as contemplated by Section 1.6 or 6.2, if a
                     Participant voluntarily terminates his or her employment by
                     or service to the Company (other than because of his or her
                     death or Total Disability), the Participant's outstanding
                     Options will terminate immediately, whether or not the

                     Agreement and subject to earlier termination pursuant to or
                     as contemplated by Section 1.6 or 6.2, if a Participant is
                     laid off by the Company or his or her employment or service
                     is otherwise terminated by the Company (in each case, other
                     than a termination by the Company for Cause or due to the
                     Participant's death or Total Disability):

                     .      the Participant will have until the date that is 90
                            days after the Participant's Severance Date to
                            exercise his or her Option (or portion thereof) to
                            the extent that it was vested and exercisable on the
                            Severance Date;

                                       8

<PAGE>

                     .      the Option, to the extent not vested and exercisable
                            on the Participant's Severance Date, shall terminate
                            on the Severance Date; and

                     .      the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 90-day
                            period following the Participant's Severance Date
                            and not exercised during such period, shall
                            terminate at the close of business on the last day
                            of the 90-day period.

              2.5.4  Death or Total Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the
                     Award Agreement and subject to earlier termination pursuant
                     to or as contemplated by Section 1.6 or 6.2, if a
                     Participant's employment by or service to the Company
                     terminates as a result of the Participant's Total
                     Disability or death:

                     .      the Participant (or his or her Personal
                            Representative or Beneficiary, in the case of the
                            Participant's Total Disability or death,
                            respectively), will have until the date that is 12
                            months after the Participant's Severance Date to
                            exercise the Participant's Option (or portion
                            thereof) to the extent that it was vested and
                            exercisable on the Severance Date;

                     .      the Option, to the extent not vested and exercisable
                            on the Participant's Severance Date, shall terminate
                            on the Severance Date; and

                     .      the Option, to the extent exercisable for the
                            12-month period following the Participant's
                            Severance Date and not exercised during such period,
                            shall terminate at the close of business on the last
                            day of the 12-month period.

              2.5.5  Certain SARs. Any SAR granted concurrently or in tandem
                     with an Option shall have the same post-termination
                     provisions and exercisability periods as the Option to
                     which it relates, unless the Committee otherwise provides.

              2.5.6  Committee Discretion; Determination of Continued Employment
                     or Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
                     this Section 2.5, in the event of, or in anticipation of, a
                     termination of employment or service with the Company for
                     any reason, other than discharge for Cause, the Committee
                     may, in its discretion, increase the portion of the
                     Participant's Award available to the Participant, or
                     Participant's Beneficiary or Personal Representative, as
                     the case may be, or, subject to the provisions of Section
                     1.6, extend the exercisability period, upon such terms as
                     the Committee shall determine and expressly set forth in or
                     by amendment to the Award Agreement. The provisions of this
                     Section 2.5 are subject to Section 6.3.

3.     STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

       3.1    Grants. In its discretion, the Committee may grant to any Eligible
              Person Stock Appreciation Rights either concurrently with the
              grant of another Award or in respect of an outstanding Award, in
              whole or in part, or independently of any other Award. Any Stock
              Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock
              Option shall contain such terms as may be required to comply with
              the provisions of Section 422 of

                                       9

<PAGE>

              the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the
              holder otherwise agrees.

       3.2    Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights.

              3.2.1  Exercisability. Unless the Award Agreement or the Committee
                     otherwise provides, a Stock Appreciation Right related to
                     another Award shall be exercisable at such time or times,
                     and to the extent, that the related Award shall be
                     exercisable.

              3.2.2  Effect on Available Shares. To the extent that a Stock
                     Appreciation Right is exercised, only the actual number of
                     delivered shares of Common Stock shall be charged against
                     the maximum amount of Common Stock that may be delivered
                     pursuant to Awards under this Plan. The number of shares
                     subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and the related
                     Option of the Participant shall, however, be reduced by the
                     number of underlying shares as to which the exercise
                     related, unless the Award Agreement otherwise provides.

              3.2.3  Stand-Alone SARs. A Stock Appreciation Right granted
                     independently of any other Award shall be exercisable
                     pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement.

       3.3    Payment.

              3.3.1  Amount. Unless the Committee otherwise provides, upon
                     exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right and the attendant
                     surrender of an exercisable portion of any related Award,
                     the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an
                     amount determined by multiplying:

                     (a)    the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise
                            price per share of Common Stock under the related
                            Award (if applicable) or the initial share value
                            specified in the Award from the Fair Market Value of
                            a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of
                            the Stock Appreciation Right, by

                     (b)    the number of shares with respect to which the Stock
                            Appreciation Right shall have been exercised.

              3.3.2  Form of Payment. The Committee, in its sole discretion,
                     shall determine the form in which payment shall be made of
                     the amount determined under Section 3.3.1 above, either
                     solely in cash, solely in shares of Common Stock (valued at
                     Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Stock
                     Appreciation Right), or partly in such shares and partly in
                     cash, provided that the Committee shall have determined
                     that such exercise and payment are consistent with
                     applicable law. If the Committee permits the Participant to
                     elect to receive cash or shares (or a combination thereof)
                     on such exercise, any such election shall be subject to
                     such conditions as the Committee may impose.

       3.4    Limited Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant to any
              Eligible Person Stock Appreciation Rights exercisable only upon or
              in respect of a change in control or any other specified event
              ("Limited SARs") and such Limited SARs may relate to or

                                       10

<PAGE>

              operate in tandem or combination with or substitution for Options,
              other SARs or other Awards (or any combination thereof), and may
              be payable in cash or shares based on the spread between the base
              price of the SAR and a price based upon the Fair Market Value of
              the Shares during a specified period or at a specified time within
              a specified period before, after or including the date of such
              event.

4.     RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNIT AWARDS

       Subject to any applicable limitations under applicable law and to such
       rules and procedures as the Committee may establish from time to time:

       4.1    Grants.

              4.1.1  Restricted Stock. The Committee may, in its discretion,
                     grant one or more Restricted Stock Awards to any Eligible
                     Person. Each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall specify
                     the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
                     Participant, the date of such issuance, the consideration
                     for such shares (but not less than the minimum lawful
                     consideration under applicable state law) by the
                     Participant, the extent (if any) to which and the time (if
                     ever) at which the Participant shall be entitled to
                     dividends, voting and other rights in respect of the shares
                     prior to vesting, and the restrictions (which may be based
                     on performance criteria, passage of time or other factors
                     or any combination thereof) imposed on such shares and the
                     conditions of release or lapse of such restrictions. Such
                     restrictions shall not lapse earlier than one year after
                     the Award Date, except to the extent the Committee may
                     otherwise provide, such as in the case of Awards
                     principally for services already rendered. Stock
                     certificates or book entries evidencing shares of
                     Restricted Stock pending the lapse of the restrictions
                     ("Restricted Shares") shall bear a legend or notation
                     making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed
                     hereunder and (if in certificate form) shall be held by the
                     Corporation or by a third party designated by the Committee
                     until the restrictions on such shares shall have lapsed and
                     the shares shall have vested in accordance with the
                     provisions of the Award and Section 1.7. Upon issuance of
                     the Restricted Stock Award, the Participant may be required
                     to provide such further assurance and documents as the
                     Committee may require to enforce the restrictions.

              4.1.2  Stock Units. The Committee may, in its discretion,
                     authorize and grant to any Eligible Person a Stock Unit
                     Award or the crediting of Stock Units for services rendered
                     or to be rendered or in lieu of other compensation,
                     consistent with other applicable terms of this Plan, may
                     permit an Eligible Person to irrevocably elect to defer by
                     means of Stock Units or receive in Stock Units all or a
                     portion of any Award hereunder, or may grant Stock Units in
                     lieu of, in exchange for, in respect of, or in addition to
                     any other Compensation or Award under this Plan. The
                     specific terms, conditions, and provisions relating to each
                     Stock Unit grant or election, including the applicable
                     vesting and payout provisions of the Stock Units and the
                     form of payment to be made at or following the vesting
                     thereof, shall be set forth in or pursuant to the
                     applicable agreement or Award and any relevant Company
                     deferred compensation plan, in form substantially as
                     approved by the Committee.

              4.1.3  Payouts. The Committee in the applicable Award Agreement or
                     the relevant Company deferred compensation plan may permit
                     the Participant to elect the form and time of payout of
                     vested Stock Units on such conditions or subject to such
                     procedures as the Committee may impose, and may permit
                     Restricted Stock or Stock Unit offsets or other provision
                     for payment of any applicable taxes that may be due on the
                     crediting, vesting or payment in respect of the Stock
                     Units.

       4.2    Restrictions.

              4.2.1  Pre-Vesting Restraints. Except as provided in Section 4.1
                     and 1.9, Restricted Shares comprising any Restricted Stock
                     Award and rights in respect of Stock Unit Awards may not be
                     sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed
                     of or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily,
                     until the restrictions on Restricted Shares have lapsed and
                     the shares issuable pursuant to the Stock Unit Award have
                     been issued.

              4.2.2  Dividend and Voting Rights. Unless otherwise provided in
                     the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant receiving a
                     Restricted Stock Award shall be entitled to vote such
                     shares but shall not be entitled to dividends on any of the
                     shares until the shares have vested. Such dividends shall
                     be retained in a restricted account until the shares have
                     vested and shall revert to the Corporation if they fail to
                     vest. Stock Unit Awards may include dividend equivalent
                     rights to the extent authorized by the Committee.

              4.2.3  Cash Payments. If the Participant shall have paid or
                     received cash (including any payments in respect of
                     dividends) in connection with the Restricted Stock Award or
                     Stock Unit Award, the Award Agreement shall specify the
                     extent (if any) to which such amounts shall be returned
                     (with or without an earnings factor) as to any Restricted
                     Shares or Stock Unit Awards which cease to be eligible for
                     vesting.

       4.3    Return to the Corporation. Unless the Committee otherwise
              expressly provides, Restricted Shares or Stock Units that remain
              subject to conditions to vesting upon restrictions at the time of
              termination of employment or service or are subject to other
              conditions to vesting that have not been satisfied by the time
              specified in the applicable Award Agreement shall not vest and
              shall be returned to the Corporation or cancelled, as the case may
              be, unless the Committee otherwise provides in the applicable
              terms of the Award.

5.     PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARDS AND OTHER STOCK AWARDS

       5.1    Grants of Performance Share Awards. Subject to Section 6.4, the
              Committee may, in its discretion, grant Performance Share Awards
              to Eligible Persons based upon such factors as the Committee shall
              deem relevant in light of the specific type and terms of the
              award. An Award Agreement shall specify the maximum number of
              shares of Common Stock (if any) subject to the Performance Share
              Award, the consideration (but not less than the minimum lawful
              consideration) to be paid for any such shares as may be issuable
              to the Participant, the duration of the Award and the conditions
              upon which

                                       12

<PAGE>

              delivery of any shares, cash or other property to the Participant
              shall be based. The amount of cash or shares or other property
              that may be deliverable pursuant to such Award shall be based upon
              the degree of attainment over a specified period of not more than
              10 years (a "performance cycle") as may be established by the
              Committee of such measure(s) of the performance of the Company (or
              any part thereof) or the Participant as may be established by the
              Committee. The Committee may provide for full or partial credit,
              prior to completion of such performance cycle or the attainment of
              the performance achievement specified in the Award, in the event
              of the Participant's death, Retirement, or Total Disability, a
              Change in Control Event or in such other circumstances as the
              Committee may determine.

       5.2    Grants of Stock Bonuses and Other Awards. Subject to Section 6.4,
              the Committee may grant a Stock Bonus to any Eligible Person to
              reward exceptional or special services, contributions or
              achievements, or issue Common Stock for past services in the
              ordinary course, the value of which shall be determined by the
              Committee, in the manner and on such terms and conditions
              (including any restrictions on such shares) as determined from
              time to time by the Committee. The number of shares so awarded
              shall be determined by the Committee. The Award may be granted
              independently or in lieu of a cash bonus.

       5.3    Deferred Payments. The Committee may authorize for the benefit of
              any Eligible Person the deferral of any payment of cash or shares
              or other property that may become due or of cash otherwise payable
              under this Plan, and provide for accredited benefits thereon based
              upon such deferment, at the election or at the request of such
              Participant, subject to the other terms of this Plan. Such
              deferral shall be subject to such further conditions, restrictions
              or requirements as the Committee may impose, subject to any then
              vested rights of Participants.

       5.4    Alternative Payments. The Committee may require or allow all or a
              portion of the Award to be paid or credited in the form of shares
              of Common Stock, Restricted Shares, Stock Units, an Option or
              other Award.

6.     OTHER PROVISIONS

       6.1    Rights of Eligible Persons, Participants and Beneficiaries.

              6.1.1  Employment Status. Status as an Eligible Person shall not
                     be construed as a commitment that any Award will be made
                     under this Plan to an Eligible Person or to Eligible
                     Persons generally.

              6.1.2  No Employment/Service Contract. Nothing contained in this
                     Plan (or in any other documents under this Plan or in any
                     Award) shall confer upon any Eligible Employee or other
                     Participant any right to continue in the employ or other
                     service of the Company, constitute any contract or
                     agreement of employment or other service or affect an
                     employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall
                     interfere in any way with the right of the Company to
                     change a person's compensation or other benefits, or to
                     terminate his or her employment or other service, with or
                     without cause. Nothing in this Section 6.1, however, is
                     intended

                                       13

<PAGE>

                     to adversely affect any express independent right of such
                     person under a separate employment or service contract
                     other than an Award Agreement.

              6.1.3  Plan Not Funded. Awards payable under this Plan shall be
                     payable in shares or from the general assets of the
                     Corporation, and (except as provided in Section 1.4.3) no
                     special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made
                     to assure payment of such Awards. No Participant,
                     Beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or
                     interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including
                     shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise
                     provided) of the Company by reason of any Award hereunder.
                     Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related
                     documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor
                     any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan
                     shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any
                     kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and
                     any Participant, Beneficiary or other person. To the extent
                     that a Participant, Beneficiary or other person acquires a
                     right to receive payment pursuant to any Award hereunder,
                     such right shall be no greater than the right of any
                     unsecured general creditor of the Company.

       6.2    Adjustments; Acceleration.

              6.2.1  Adjustments. Upon or in contemplation of any
                     reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including
                     a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse
                     stock split ("stock split"); any merger, combination,
                     consolidation, or other reorganization; any spin-off,
                     split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution
                     ("spin-off") in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the
                     form of securities or property); any exchange of Common
                     Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any
                     similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in
                     respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of all or
                     substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an
                     entirety ("asset sale"); then the Committee shall, in such
                     manner, to such extent (if any) and at such time as it
                     deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances:

                     (a)    proportionately adjust any or all of (1) the number
                            and type of shares of Common Stock (or other
                            securities) that thereafter may be made the subject
                            of Awards (including the specific maxima and numbers
                            of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (2) the
                            number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock
                            (or other securities or property) subject to any or
                            all outstanding Awards, (3) the grant, purchase, or
                            exercise price of any or all outstanding Awards, (4)
                            the securities, cash or other property deliverable
                            upon exercise of any outstanding Awards, or (5) the
                            performance standards appropriate to any outstanding
                            Awards, or

                     (b)    make provision for a cash payment or for the
                            assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all
                            outstanding share-based Awards or the cash,
                            securities or property deliverable to the holder of
                            any or all outstanding share-based Awards, based
                            upon the distribution or consideration payable to
                            holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of
                            such event.

                                       14

<PAGE>

                     The Committee may adopt such valuation methodologies for
                     outstanding Awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a
                     cash or property settlement and, in the case of Options,
                     SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other
                     methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the
                     excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in
                     respect of such event over the exercise or strike price of
                     the Award.

                     In any of such events, the Committee may take such action
                     prior to such event to the extent that the Committee deems
                     the action necessary to permit the Participant to realize
                     the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the
                     underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be
                     available to stockholders generally. In the case of any
                     stock split or reverse stock split, if no action is taken
                     by the Committee, the proportionate adjustments
                     contemplated by clause (a) above shall nevertheless be
                     made.

              6.2.2  Automatic Acceleration of Awards. Upon a dissolution of the
                     Corporation or other event described in Section 6.2.1 that
                     the Corporation does not survive (or does not survive as a
                     public company in respect of its Common Stock), each then
                     outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall
                     become fully vested, all shares of Restricted Stock then
                     outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and each
                     Performance Share Award or other Award granted under this
                     Plan that is then outstanding shall become payable to the
                     Award holder.

              6.2.3  Possible Acceleration of Awards. Without limiting Section
                     6.2.2, in the event of a Change in Control Event, the Board
                     or the Committee may, in their discretion, provide that
                     each then outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right
                     shall become fully vested, all shares of Restricted Stock
                     then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and
                     each Performance Share Award or other Award granted under
                     this Plan that is then outstanding shall be payable to the
                     Award holder.

              6.2.4  Early Termination of Awards. Any Award that has been
                     accelerated as required or contemplated by Section 6.2.2 or
                     6.2.3 (or would have been so accelerated but for Section
                     6.2.8) shall terminate upon the related event referred to
                     in Section 6.2.2 or 6.2.3, as applicable, subject to any
                     provision that has been expressly made by the Board or the
                     Committee, through a plan of reorganization or otherwise,
                     for the survival, substitution, assumption, exchange or
                     other continuation or settlement of such Award and provided
                     that, in the case of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights,
                     the Award holder shall be given reasonable advance notice
                     of the impending termination and a reasonable opportunity
                     to exercise his or her outstanding Options and Stock
                     Appreciation Rights in accordance with their terms before
                     the termination of such Awards (except that in no case
                     shall more than ten day's notice of accelerated vesting and
                     the impending termination be required and any acceleration
                     may be made contingent upon the actual occurrence of the
                     event).

              6.2.5  Other Acceleration Rules. Any acceleration of Awards
                     pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall comply with applicable
                     legal requirements and, if necessary to accomplish the
                     purposes of the acceleration or if the circumstances
                     require, may

                                       15

<PAGE>

                     be deemed by the Board or the Committee to occur a limited
                     period of time not greater than 30 days before the event.
                     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board
                     or the Committee may deem an acceleration to occur
                     immediately prior to the applicable event and/or reinstate
                     the original terms of an Award if an event giving rise to
                     an acceleration does not occur. The Committee may override
                     the provisions of Section 6.2.2, 6.2.3, 6.2.4 and/or 6.2.6
                     by express provision in the Award Agreement and may accord
                     any Eligible Person a right to refuse any acceleration,
                     whether pursuant to the Award Agreement or otherwise, in
                     such circumstances as the Committee may approve.

              6.2.6  Termination of Employment in Connection With a Change in
                     Control Event. If, prior to a Change in Control Event, any
                     Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for
                     any reason other than Cause or due to the Participant's
                     death or Total Disability after the announcement of but not
                     more than 90 days before the consummation of such Change in
                     Control Event, then upon (or immediately prior to and
                     subject to) the consummation of the event, any Awards held
                     by the Participant prior to the termination of his or her
                     employment that were unvested and terminated in connection
                     with such termination of employment shall be deemed
                     reinstated and fully vested at such time, but without
                     extension of any other early termination or expiration
                     provisions of the Participant's Award Agreement or of the
                     other provisions of this Plan. Any such reinstated Awards
                     shall remain subject to the other adjustment, termination
                     and settlement provisions of the Award and this Section 6.2
                     in connection with the subject Change in Control Event or
                     any applicable, subsequent event. If any Participant's
                     employment is terminated by the Company upon or within one
                     year after a Change in Control Event and the termination is
                     not for Cause or due to the Participant's death or Total
                     Disability, then, subject to the other provisions of this
                     Section 6.2 (including without limitation Sections 6.2.2,
                     6.2.3, 6.2.4 and 6.2.8), all outstanding Options and other
                     Awards held by the Participant shall be deemed to be fully
                     vested immediately prior to the termination of the
                     Participant's employment, irrespective of the vesting
                     provisions of the Participant's Award Agreement, unless the
                     Award Agreement specifies a different result in the
                     specific case of a Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding
                     the foregoing, in no event shall an Award be reinstated or
                     extended beyond its final expiration date.

              6.2.7  Possible Rescission of Acceleration. If the vesting of an
                     Award has been accelerated expressly in anticipation of an
                     event or upon stockholder approval of an event and the
                     Committee or the Board later determines that the event will
                     not occur, the Committee may rescind the effect of the
                     acceleration as to any then outstanding and unexercised or
                     otherwise unvested Awards.

              6.2.8  Golden Parachute Limitation. Notwithstanding anything else
                     contained in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, in no event
                     shall an Award be accelerated under this Plan to an extent
                     or in a manner which would not be fully deductible by the
                     Company for federal income tax purposes because of Section
                     280G of the Code, nor shall any payment hereunder be
                     accelerated if any portion of such accelerated payment
                     would not be deductible by the Company because of Section
                     280G of the Code. If a holder would be entitled to benefits
                     or payments

                                       16

                     hereunder and under any other plan or program that would
                     constitute "parachute payments" as defined in Section 280G
                     of the Code, then the holder may by written notice to the
                     Company designate the order in which such parachute
                     payments will be reduced or modified so that the Company is
                     not denied federal income tax deductions for any "parachute
                     payments" because of Section 280G of the Code.
                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employment or other
                     agreement with the Participant may expressly provide for
                     benefits in excess of amounts determined by applying the
                     foregoing Section 280G limitations.

       6.3    Effect of Termination of Service on Awards.

              6.3.1  General. The Committee shall establish the effect of a
                     termination of employment or service on the rights and
                     benefits under each Award under this Plan and in so doing
                     may make distinctions based upon, inter alia, the cause of
                     termination and type of Award.

              6.3.2  Termination of Consulting or Affiliate Services. If the
                     Participant is not an Eligible Employee or director and
                     provides services as an Other Eligible Person, the
                     Committee shall be the sole judge of whether the
                     Participant continues to render services to the Company,
                     unless a contract or the Award otherwise provides. If in
                     these circumstances the Company notifies the Participant in
                     writing that a termination of services of the Participant
                     for purposes of this Plan has occurred, then (unless the
                     contract or Award otherwise expressly provides), the
                     Participant's termination of services for purposes of
                     Section 2.5, 3, 4.3 or 5 shall be the date which is 10 days
                     after the Company's mailing of the notice or, in the case
                     of a termination for Cause, the date of the mailing of the
                     notice.

              6.3.3  Effect on Unvested Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the
                     applicable Award Agreement and subject to the other
                     provisions of this Plan, a Restricted Stock Award, Stock
                     Appreciation Right, Performance Share Award, or Stock Unit
                     Award, to the extent such Award has not vested as of the
                     applicable Severance Date shall terminate on the Severance
                     Date without further payment or benefit of any kind; and
                     any Option theretofore outstanding and not vested shall
                     terminate. Vested Options are subject to the provisions of
                     Section 2.5.

              6.3.4  Events Not Deemed Terminations of Service. Unless Company
                     policy or the Committee otherwise provides, the employment
                     relationship shall not be considered terminated in the case
                     of (a) sick leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other
                     leave of absence authorized by the Company or the
                     Committee; provided that unless reemployment upon the
                     expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or law,
                     such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days. In the
                     case of any Eligible Employee on an approved leave of
                     absence, continued vesting of the Award while on leave from
                     the employ of the Company may be suspended until the
                     employee returns to service, unless the Committee otherwise
                     provides or applicable law otherwise requires. In no event
                     shall an Award be exercised after the expiration of the
                     term set forth in the Award Agreement.

              6.3.5  Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status. For purposes of this
                     Plan and any Award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary
                     a termination of employment or

                                       17

<PAGE>

                     service shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to
                     each Eligible Person in respect of the Subsidiary who does
                     not continue as an Eligible Person in respect of another
                     entity within the Company.

       6.4    Compliance with Laws. This Plan, the granting and vesting of
              Awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of shares
              of Common Stock, the acceptance of promissory notes and/or the
              payment of money under this Plan or under Awards are subject to
              compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and
              regulations (including but not limited to state and federal
              securities law, federal margin requirements) and to such approvals
              by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in
              the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable
              in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under
              this Plan will, if requested by the Company, provide such
              assurances and representations to the Company as the Committee may
              deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all
              applicable legal and accounting requirements.

       6.5    Tax Matters.

              6.5.1  Provision for Tax Withholding or Offset. Upon any exercise,
                     vesting, or payment of any Award or upon the disposition of
                     shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of
                     an Incentive Stock Option prior to satisfaction of the
                     holding period requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the
                     Company shall have the right at its option to:

                     (a)    require the Participant (or Personal Representative
                            or Beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or
                            provide for payment of at least the minimum amount
                            of any taxes which the Company may be required to
                            withhold with respect to such Award event or
                            payment; or

                     (b)    deduct from any amount payable in cash the minimum
                            amount of any taxes which the Company may be
                            required to withhold with respect to such cash
                            payment.

                     In any case where a tax is required to be withheld in
                     connection with the delivery of shares of Common Stock
                     under this Plan, the Committee may in its sole discretion
                     (subject to Section 6.4) grant (either at the time of the
                     Award or thereafter) to the Participant the right to elect,
                     pursuant to such rules and subject to such conditions as
                     the Committee may establish, to have the Corporation reduce
                     the number of shares to be delivered by (or otherwise
                     reacquire) the appropriate number of shares, valued in a
                     consistent manner at their Fair Market Value or at the
                     sales price in accordance with authorized procedures for
                     cashless exercises, necessary to satisfy the minimum
                     applicable withholding obligation on exercise, vesting or
                     payment. In no event shall the shares withheld exceed the
                     minimum whole number of shares required for tax withholding
                     under applicable law.

              6.5.2  Tax Loans. If so provided in the Award Agreement, the
                     Company may, to the extent permitted by law, authorize a
                     short-term loan of not more than nine (9) months to an
                     Eligible Person in the amount of any taxes that the Company
                     may

                                       18

<PAGE>

                     be required to withhold with respect to shares of Common
                     Stock received (or disposed of, as the case may be)
                     pursuant to a transaction described in Section 6.5.1. Such
                     a loan shall be for a term, at a rate of interest and
                     pursuant to such other terms and conditions as the
                     Committee, under applicable law, may establish and such
                     loan need not comply with the other provisions of Section
                     1.8.

       6.6    Plan and Award Amendments, Termination and Suspension.

              6.6.1  Board Authorization. The Board may, at any time, terminate
                     or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend this Plan,
                     in whole or in part. No Awards may be granted during any
                     suspension of this Plan or after termination of this Plan,
                     but the Committee shall retain jurisdiction as to Awards
                     then outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Plan.

              6.6.2  Stockholder Approval. To the extent then required by
                     applicable law or required under Sections 162, 422 or 424
                     of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of
                     this Plan, or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board,
                     any amendment to this Plan shall be subject to stockholder
                     approval.

              6.6.3  Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express
                     authority of the Committee under (but subject to) the
                     express limits of this Plan, the Committee by agreement or
                     resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards
                     to Participants that the Committee in the prior exercise of
                     its discretion has imposed, without the consent of a
                     Participant, and (subject to the requirements of Sections
                     1.2.2 and 6.6.4) may make other changes to the terms and
                     conditions of Awards.

              6.6.4  Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment,
                     suspension or termination of this Plan or change of or
                     affecting any outstanding Award shall, without written
                     consent of the Participant, affect in any manner materially
                     adverse to the Participant any rights or benefits of the
                     Participant or obligations of the Company under any Award
                     granted under this Plan prior to the effective date of such
                     change. Changes contemplated by Section 6.2 shall not be
                     deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of
                     this Section 6.6.

              6.6.5  Incentive Stock Option Acceleration. The portion of any
                     Incentive Stock Option accelerated in connection with a
                     Change in Control Event or any other action permitted
                     hereunder shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Stock
                     Option only to the extent the applicable $100,000
                     limitation on Incentive Stock Options is not exceeded. To
                     the extent exceeded, the accelerated portion of the Option
                     shall be exercisable as a Nonqualified Stock Option under
                     the Code.

       6.7    Privileges of Stock Ownership. Except as otherwise expressly
              authorized by the Committee or this Plan, a Participant shall not
              be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares
              of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by
              the Participant. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other
              rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such
              date of delivery.

                                       19

<PAGE>

       6.8    Effective Date of the Plan. This Plan is effective as of
              July 13, 2002, the date of approval by the Board (the
              "Effective Date"). This Plan shall be submitted for and subject to
              stockholder approval.

       6.9    Term of the Plan. No Award will be granted under this Plan after
              the close of business on the day before the 10th anniversary of
              the Effective Date (the "Termination Date"). Unless otherwise
              expressly provided in this Plan or in an applicable Award
              Agreement, any Award granted prior to the Termination Date may
              extend beyond such date, and all authority of the Committee with
              respect to Awards hereunder, including the authority to amend an
              Award, shall continue during any suspension of this Plan and in
              respect of Awards outstanding on the Termination Date.

       6.10   Governing Law/Construction/Severability.

              6.10.1 Choice of Law. This Plan, the Awards, all documents
                     evidencing Awards and all other related documents shall be
                     governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of
                     the State of Delaware.

              6.10.2 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds
                     any provision invalid and unenforceable, the remaining
                     provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect.

              6.10.3 Plan Construction.

                     (a)    Rule 16b-3. It is the intent of the Corporation that
                            the Awards and transactions permitted by Awards be
                            interpreted in a manner that, in the case of
                            Participants who are or may be subject to Section 16
                            of the Exchange Act, satisfies the applicable
                            requirements for exemptions under Rule 16b-3.
                            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall
                            have no liability to any Participant for Section 16
                            consequences of Awards or events under Awards.

                     (b)    Section 162(m). It is the further intent of the
                            Company that (to the extent the Company or Awards
                            under this Plan may be or become subject to
                            limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) of
                            the Code), Options or SARs granted with an exercise
                            or base price not less than Fair Market Value on the
                            date of grant that are granted to or held by a
                            person subject to Section 162(m) of the Code will
                            qualify as performance-based compensation or
                            otherwise be exempt from deductibility limitations
                            under Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent that
                            the authorization of the Award (or the payment
                            thereof, as the case may be) satisfies any
                            applicable administrative requirements thereof.

       6.11   Captions. Captions and headings are given to the sections and
              subsections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate
              reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material
              or relevant to the construction or interpretation of this Plan or
              any provision thereof.

       6.12   Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards
              Granted by Other Corporation. Awards may be granted to Eligible
              Persons under this Plan in substitution for or in connection with
              an assumption of employee stock options, SARs,

              restricted stock or other stock-based awards granted by other
              entities to persons who are or who will become Eligible Persons in
              respect of the Company, in connection with a distribution, merger

              shares that are issued and any Awards that are granted by, or
              become obligations of, the Company, as a result of the assumption
              by the Company or an affiliate of, or in substitution for,

              employed by the Company (or a subsidiary or affiliate) in
              connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar
              transaction) shall not be counted against the maximum number of
              shares available for issuance under this Plan.

       6.13   Non-Exclusivity of Plan. Nothing in this Plan shall limit or be
              deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Committee to
              grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without
              reference to the Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

       6.14   No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of this Plan, the
              Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder shall not limit,
              affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or
              the stockholders of the Corporation to make or authorize: (a) any
              adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in
              the Corporation's or any Subsidiary's capital structure or its
              business, (b) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change in
              the ownership of the Corporation or any subsidiary, (c) any issue
              of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock
              ahead of or affecting the Corporation's or any Subsidiary's
              capital stock or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or
              liquidation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or
              transfer of all or any part of the Corporation or any Subsidiary's
              assets or business, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding
              by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. No participant, beneficiary
              or any other person shall have any claim under any Award or Award
              Agreement against any member of the Board or the Committee, or the
              Corporation or any employees, officers or agents of the
              Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

       6.15   Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs. Payments and
              other benefits received by a Participant under an Award made
              pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of a
              Participant's compensation for purposes of the determination of
              benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or
              arrangements, if any, provided by the Corporation or any
              Subsidiary, except where the Committee or the Board expressly
              otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. Awards under this
              Plan may be made in addition to, in combination with, as
              alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or commitments
              under any other plans or arrangements of the Company or the
              Subsidiaries.

       8.3    Option Price. The purchase price per share of the Common Stock
              covered by each Option granted pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof
              shall be 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
              on the Award Date. The exercise price of any Option granted under
              this Article 8 shall be paid in full at the time of each purchase
              in cash or by check or in shares of Common Stock valued at their
              Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option, or partly
              in such shares and partly in cash, provided that any such shares
              used in payment shall have been owned by the Participant at least
              six months prior to the date of exercise.

       8.4    Option Period and Exercisability. Each Option granted under this
              Article 8 and all rights or obligations thereunder shall expire
              ten years after the Award Date and shall be subject to earlier
              termination as provided below. Subject to Sections 8.5, 8.6 and
              8.7, each Option granted under Section 8.2.1 shall become
              exercisable as to 50% of the total number of shares subject
              thereto on each of the following dates: (a) the earlier of the
              first anniversary of Award Date or the first annual meeting of the
              Corporation's stockholders that occurs more than ten months after
              the Award Date, and (b) the earlier of the second anniversary of
              the Award Date or the first annual meeting of the Corporation's
              stockholders that occurs more than twenty-two months after the
              Award Date. Subject to Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7, each Option
              granted under Section 8.2.2 shall become fully (100%) exercisable
              on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Award Date or the
              first annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders that occurs
              more than ten months after the Award Date.

       8.5    Termination of Directorship. If a Non-Employee Director's services
              as a member of the Board of Directors terminate by reason of death
              or Disability, an Option granted pursuant to this Article 8 held
              by such Participant shall immediately become and shall remain
              exercisable for one year after the date of such termination or
              until the expiration of the stated term of such Option, whichever
              first occurs. If a Non-Employee Director's services as a member of
              the Board of Directors terminate for any other reason, any portion
              of an Option granted pursuant to this Article 8 which is not then
              exercisable shall terminate and any portion of such Option which
              is then exercisable may be exercised for three months after the
              date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated
              term, whichever first occurs.

       8.6    Adjustments. Options granted under this Article 8 shall be subject
              to adjustment as provided in Section 6.2, but only to the extent
              that such adjustment is consistent with adjustments to Options
              held by persons other than executive officers or directors of the
              Corporation.

       8.7    Acceleration Upon a Change in Control Event. Upon the occurrence
              of a Change in Control Event, each Option granted under Section
              8.2 hereof shall become immediately exercisable in full. Each such
              Option shall be subject to adjustment and termination pursuant to
              Section 6.2 in connection with such event.

                         RED ROBIN GOURMET BURGERS, INC.

                         DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Option Agreement") dated
_____________________ by and between RED ROBIN GOURMET BURGERS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Corporation"), and ________________________________ (the
"Director") evidences the nonqualified stock option (the "Option") granted by
the Corporation to the Director pursuant to Article 8 of the Red Robin Gourmet
Burgers, Inc. 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") as to the number of shares
of the Corporation's Common Stock first set forth below.

             Number of Shares of Common Stock:/1/ _________________

             Exercise Price per Share:/2/ $____________

             Award Date:/1/ __________________

             Expiration Date:/2/ __________________

     The Option is not and shall not be deemed to be an incentive stock option
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Capitalized terms are defined in
the Plan if not defined herein.

1.   Vesting; Limits on Exercise.
     ---------------------------

     The Option cannot be exercised until it vests and becomes exercisable. [For
options granted pursuant to Section 8.2.1 of the Plan: Subject to Sections 8.5,
8.6 and 8.7 of the Plan, the Option shall become exercisable as to 50% of the
total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on each of the
following dates: (a) the earlier of the first anniversary of Award Date or the
first annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders that occurs more than ten
months after the Award Date, and (b) the earlier of the second anniversary of
the Award Date or the first annual meeting of the Corporation's stockholders
that occurs more than twenty-two months after the Award Date.] [For options
granted pursuant to Section 8.2.2 of the Plan: Subject to Sections 8.5, 8.6 and
8.7 of the Plan, the Option shall become exercisable as to 100% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option on the earlier of the
first anniversary of the Award Date or the first annual meeting of the
Corporation's stockholders that occurs more than ten months after the Award
Date.]

     .    Cumulative Exercisability. To the extent that the Option is vested and
          exercisable, the Director has the right to exercise the Option (to the
          extent not previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until
          the expiration or earlier termination of the Option.

_________________
/1/ Subject to adjustment under Section 8.6 of the Plan.
/2/ Subject to early termination under Section 6.2 or 8.5 of the Plan.

                                      A-1

<PAGE>

     .    No Fractional Shares. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded,
          but may be cumulated.

     .    Minimum Exercise. No fewer than 100/1/ shares of Common Stock may be
          purchased at any one time, unless the number purchased is the total
          number at the time exercisable under the Option.

2.   Service; Continuance of Service Required; No Service Commitment.

     The Director agrees to serve as a member of the Board in accordance with
the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, and applicable law. The
vesting schedule requires continued service through each applicable vesting date
as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and
the rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Partial service, even if
substantial, during any vesting period will not entitle the Director to any
proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits
upon or following a termination of services as provided in Section 4 below or
under the Plan. Nothing contained in this Option Agreement or the Plan
constitutes a continued service commitment by the Company.

3.   Method of Exercise of Option.

     The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Secretary of the
Corporation of a written notice stating the number of shares of Common Stock to
be purchased pursuant to the Option and accompanied by:

     .    delivery of an executed Exercise Agreement in substantially the form
          attached hereto as Appendix I or such other form as from time to time
          may be required by the Committee (the "Exercise Agreement");

     .    payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased
          in the manner specified in Section 8.3 of the Plan; and

     .    any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 6.4
          of the Plan.

4.   Early Termination of Option.

     The Option, to the extent not previously exercised, and all other rights
hereunder, whether vested and exercisable or not, shall terminate and become
null and void prior to the Expiration Date in the event of:

     .    the Director's termination of services as provided in Section 8.5 of
          the Plan, or

     .    the termination of the Option pursuant to Section 6.2 and/or 8.7 of
          the Plan.

5.   Non-Transferability.

     The Option and any other rights of the Director under this Option Agreement
or the Plan are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Director, except as
set forth in Section 1.9 of the Plan.

                                      A-2

<PAGE>

6.   Notices.

     Any notice to be given under the terms of this Option Agreement or the
Exercise Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its
principal office to the attention of the Secretary, and to the Director at the
address given beneath the Director's signature hereto, or at such other address
as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice
shall be given only when received, but if the Director is no longer a member of
the Board, shall be deemed to have been duly given by the Corporation when
enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid, registered or
certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in
a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States
Government.

7.   Plan.

     The Option and all rights of the Director under this Option Agreement are
subject to, and the Director agrees to be bound by, all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan, incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of a
conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Option
Agreement and of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall govern.
The Director acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound
by the terms thereof. The Director acknowledges reading and understanding the
Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other sections of this Option
Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on the
Board or the Committee do not and shall not be deemed to create any rights in
the Director unless such rights are expressly set forth herein or are otherwise
in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee so conferred by appropriate
action of the Board or the Committee under the Plan after the date hereof.

8.   Entire Agreement.

     This Option Agreement (together with the form of Exercise Agreement
attached hereto) and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and
supersede all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan, this Option
Agreement and the Exercise Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 6.6 of
the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The
Corporation may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof or of the
Exercise Agreement in writing to the extent such waiver does not adversely
affect the interests of the Director hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate
as or be construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver
of any other provision hereof.

9.   Governing Law.

     This Option Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of
law principles thereunder.
