      This Guaranty ("Guaranty") dated as of _________ , is entered into between
SEARCHHELP, INC. ("Guarantor"), in favor of COMMERCIAL CAPITAL LENDING, LLC
("Creditor").

                                    RECITALS

      A. Creditor and E-TOP-PICS, INC. ("Client") are entering into an ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Creditor will
purchase certain accounts receivable from Client.

      B. In order to induce Creditor to enter into the Agreement with Client,
Guarantor has agreed to enter into this Guaranty in order to guaranty any loans
or advances or other financial accommodations made or extended by Creditor.

      ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

      1 GUARANTY

      1.1 Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor, and any and all successor entities
resulting by operation of merger, law, or otherwise, including but not limited
to any successor debtor in possession of Guarantor as such term is used in
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. sect. 1101 et seq.),
unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees and promises to pay to
Creditor, upon the written demand of Creditor, in lawful money of the United
States of America and in immediately available funds, any and all indebtedness
and obligations (hereinafter collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations") of the
Client, and all successors-in-interest of Client by operation of law or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, any Trustee (as defined in the United
States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. sect. 101 et seq., or successor statutes) or
debtor-in-possession, and including, but not limited to, any
successor-in-interest arising out of any merger or reorganization involving
Client, whether Client is a surviving or disappearing person or entity as a
result of those transactions to Creditor under the Agreement or any other note,
loan agreement, credit agreement, security agreement, pledge agreement,
mortgage, or other documents or instrument (hereinafter collectively, the
"Documents") or otherwise.

      The term "Guaranteed Obligations" is used herein in its most comprehensive
sense and includes all obligations of Client to Creditor (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses, and unpaid interest, including
interest that, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, would have
accrued on the Guaranteed Obligations) now existing or hereafter incurred or
created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and however arising, whether due
or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidate or unliquidated, whether Client
may be liable jointly, severally, or solidarily with others, whether recovery
upon such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes barred by any statute of
limitations or whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes otherwise
unenforceable, and includes Client's prompt, full and faithful performance,
observance and discharge of each and every term, condition, agreement,
representation, warranty, undertaking and provision to be performed by Client
under the Documents or otherwise. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty
constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection.

      1.2 Unlimited Guaranty. There are no dollar limitations on the amount of
Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty.

      1.3 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall
remain effective until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid,
performed and discharged as provided in Section 10 and Creditor has given
written notice of that fact to Guarantor.

      1.4 Solidary Liability. Guarantor agrees that its liability and
obligations in favor of Creditor shall be joint, several and in solidor with
Client and all other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, and that a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to
enforce Creditor's rights under this Guaranty, whether action is brought against
Client or whether Client is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor
agrees that any releases which may be given by Creditor to Client or any other
guarantor shall not release it from this Guaranty.

      2 SECURITY INTEREST

<PAGE>

      As collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor grants to
Creditor a continuing security interest in and to any collateral now or
hereafter described in any form UCC-1 filed against Guarantor naming Creditor as
the secured party, and all of Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to
the following property, now owned and hereafter acquired:

      2.1 All accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, including, but not
limited to, tax and duty refunds, registered and unregistered patents,
trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade names, applications for the
foregoing, trade secrets, customer lists, licenses, whether as licensor or
licensee, documents, instruments, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit,
securities, and all rights of Guarantor as a seller of goods, including rights
of reclamation, replevin and stoppage in transit;

      2.2 All books and records relating to all of the foregoing property and
interest in property, including, without limitation, all computer programs,
printed output and computer readable data in the possession or control of
Guarantor, any computer service bureau or other third party; and

      2.3 All proceeds of the foregoing, including, but not limited to, all
insurance proceeds, all claims against third parties of loss or destruction of
or damage to any of the foregoing, and all income from the lease or rental of
any of the foregoing.

      3 SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

      Guarantor hereby grants Creditor an irrevocable power of attorney (which,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable) for the purpose of acting on
Guarantor's behalf to:

      3.1 endorse or sign Guarantor's name on any checks or other instruments
which come into Creditor's possession with respect to Client's accounts
receivable; and

      3.2 negotiate, transfer, deposit, and otherwise deal with such checks or
other instruments as the sole owner thereof.

      In granting this Power of Attorney, Guarantor hereby cancels and revokes
all previous powers of attorney in respect of the matters comprised herein which
have been granted to any other person.

      4 INDEMNITY

      4.1 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section
11.1.2, Guarantor agrees to indemnify, defend, exonerate, pay and hold Creditor
and the officers, directors, employees and agents of Creditor (the
"Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to Creditor and expert
witness fees and disbursements) for such Indemnitees in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such
Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out
of or in connection with this Guaranty (the "Indemnified Liabilities").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not include
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent caused
by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such
Indemnitee.

      4.2 Notice. Each Indemnitee will promptly notify Guarantor of each even of
which it has knowledge that may give rise to a claim under this Section.

      4.3 Defense of Actions. If any investigative, judicial or administrative
proceeding arising in connection with any of the Indemnified Liabilities is
brought against any Indemnitee indemnified or intended to be indemnified
pursuant to this Section, Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner directed by
the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit
or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
designated by Guarantor (which counsel shall be satisfactory to the Indemnitee
or intended Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate
in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, Guarantor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under
applicable law.

      6 WAIVERS

      6.1 Defenses. Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert against Creditor
as a defense, counterclaim, setoff or crossclaim, all defenses including, but

of the Guaranteed Obligations in any form whatsoever, any counterclaim, any
setoff or any crossclaim which Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have
under applicable law, rule, arrangement or relationship against Client, Creditor
or any other party. Guarantor waives all defenses, counterclaims and setoffs of
any kind or nature arising, directly or indirectly, from the present or future
lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity or enforceability of the Documents or
any security interest thereunder.

      6.2 Election of Remedies. Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Creditor,
which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys or
extinguishes Guarantor's subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Client
for reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or any other rights of Guarantor to
proceed against any other person or security.

      6.3 Presentment, Demand and Notice. Guarantor waives all presentments,
demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default, notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty, diligence, and notices of the existence, or creation of the Guaranteed
Obligations or of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations incurred or created
after the date of this Guaranty, and all other notices or formalities to which
Guarantor may be entitled under applicable law.

      6.4 Remedies Against Client. As a condition to payment or performance by

hereby waives any and all rights to require Creditor to, prosecute

<PAGE>

or seek to enforce any remedies against Client or any other party liable to
Creditor on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or to require Creditor to seek
to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests,
liens or encumbrances granted to Client by Creditor or any other party on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations.

      6.5 Subrogation Rights. Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or any other rights that would result

or any other law. Guarantor irrevocably waives all such rights, the right to
assert any such rights and any right to enforce any remedy which Creditor now or
any hereafter have against Client and hereby irrevocably waives any benefit of
and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Creditor,
however acquired.

diligence in taking any action to collect on the obligations of Client or to
collect on the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder.

      Each of the waivers set forth above is made by Guarantor with Guarantor's
full knowledge of the significance and consequences resulting therefrom.
Guarantor hereby agrees that these waivers are reasonable and not contrary to
public policy, and agrees that Guarantor will not contest these waivers on
grounds of reasonableness or contravention to public policy. However, in the
event any of these waivers or any part thereof are nevertheless deemed contrary
to public policy, Guarantor agrees that those waivers and/or those parts of
waivers not deemed contrary to public policy are severable and will survive with
full force and effect.

      7 SUBORDINATION

      Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Client to
Guarantor are hereby postponed in favor of and subordinated of the full payment
and performance of all present and future debts and obligations of Client to
Creditor. Any instruments now or hereafter evidencing any indebtedness of Client
to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this
Guaranty and, if Creditor so requests, shall be delivered to Creditor. Upon the
liquidation, bankruptcy, or distribution of any of Client's assets, Guarantor
shall assign to the Creditor all of Guarantor's claims on account of such
indebtedness so that Creditor shall receive all dividends and payments on such
indebtedness until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Section
shall constitute such an assignment if Guarantor fails to execute and deliver
such an assignment. All monies or other property of Guarantor at any time in
Creditor's possession may be held by Creditor as security for any and all
obligations of Guarantor to Creditor, now existing or hereafter arising, whether
absolute or contingent, whether due or to become due, and whether under this
Guaranty or otherwise. Guarantor also agrees that Creditor's books and records
showing the account between Creditor and Client shall be admissible in any
action or proceeding and shall be binding upon Guarantor for the purpose of
establishing the terms set forth therein and shall constitute prima facie proof
thereof.

      8 FINANCIAL CONDITION OF CLIENT

      Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Client and
of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor hereby
covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of Client's financial
condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment.
Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor to Creditor,
Guarantor hereby waives its right, if any, to require, and Creditor is relieved
of any obligation or duty to disclose to Guarantor any information which
Creditor may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or
circumstances.

      Except
        as
        otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
        Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee shall
        have
        full power and authority to: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the
        type
        or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant under the Plan; (iii)
        determine the number of Shares to be covered by (or with respect to which
        payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with)
        Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any award; (v) determine
        the
        time or times when each Award shall become exercisable and the duration of
        the
        exercise period; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what
        circumstances Awards may be settled in or exercised for cash, Shares, other
        securities, other Awards, or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or
        suspended, and the method or methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised,
        canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vii) determine whether, to what extent,
        and
        under what circumstances cash, shares, other securities, other Awards, other
        property, and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan
        shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof
        or of the Committee; (viii) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument
        or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; (ix) establish,
        amend,
        suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it
        shall
        deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (x) make
        any
        other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary
        or desirable for the administration of the Plan. Unless otherwise expressly
        provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations,
        and
        other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within
        the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time, and shall
        be
        final, conclusive, and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any
        Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, any
        shareholder, and any employee, director or consultant of the Company or of
        any

        performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code,
        once
        the Award is made, the Committee shall not have discretion to increase the
        amount of compensation payable under the Award that would otherwise be due
        upon
        attainment of the performance goal. Actions of the Committee may be taken
        either
        (i) by a subcommittee, designated by the Committee, composed of two or more
        members, or (ii) by the Committee but with one or more members abstaining
        or
        recusing himself or herself from acting on the matter, so long as two or
        more
        members remain to act on the matter. Such action, authorized by such a
        subcommittee or by the Committee upon the abstention or recusal of such members,
        shall be the action of the Committee for purposes of the Plan.

      4.   SHARES
        AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

       

      
        	(a)  	
                SHARES
                  AVAILABLE. Subject to adjustment as provided in
                  Section 4(b):

              

      

       

      (i)  CALCULATION
        OF NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE. The number of Shares available for granting
        Awards under the Plan shall be 6,000,000. Further, if, after the effective
        date
        of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan or by
        an
        award granted under a Predecessor Plan, or to which such an Award or award
        relates, are forfeited, or if an Award or award otherwise terminates without
        the
        delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by
        such
        Award or award, or to which such Award or award relates, or the number of
        Shares
        otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under
        the
        Plan with respect to such Award or award, to the extent of any such forfeiture
        or termination, shall again be, or shall become, available for granting Awards
        under the Plan. 

       

      (ii)  ACCOUNTING
        FOR AWARDS. For purposes of this Section 4,

       

      (A)  if
        an
        Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent) is denominated in Shares, the number
        of
        Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, shall be counted
        on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares
        available for granting Awards under the Plan; and

       

      (B)  Dividend
        Equivalents and Awards not denominated in Shares shall not be counted against
        the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the
        Plan.

       

      (iii)  SOURCES
        OF SHARES DELIVERABLE UNDER AWARDS. Any shares delivered pursuant to an Award
        may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of
        Treasury Shares.

       

      
        	(b)  	
                ADJUSTMENTS.
                  In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend
                  or other
                  distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities,
                  or
                  other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,
                  reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
                  purchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company,
                  issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
                  securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction
                  or event
                  affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the
                  Committee
                  to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of
                  the
                  benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
                  the
                  Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable,
                  adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other
                  securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject
                  of
                  Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities
                  or
                  property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the number and type
                  of
                  Shares (or other securities or property) specified as the annual
                  per-participant limitation under Section 6(g)(vi), and (iv) the
                  grant,
                  purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed
                  appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of
                  an
                  outstanding Award; provided, however, in each case, that with respect
                  to
                  Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such adjustment shall be authorized
                  to the extent that such authority would cause the Plan to violate
                  Section
                  422(b)(1) of the Code or any successor provision thereto; and provided,
                  further, however, that the number of Shares subject to any award
                  denominated in Shares shall always be a whole
                  number.

        “10-percent shareholder as such term is used in Section 422(c)(5) of the Code)
        of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Incentive
        Stock
        Option.

       

      (ii)  OPTION
        TERM. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that
        no
        Incentive Stock Option shall have a term greater than 10 years (5 years in

                  Stock
                  Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the
                  Plan
                  shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise
                  thereof, the excess of (i). the Fair Market Value of one
                  Share on the
                  date of exercise or, if the Committee shall so determine in the
                  case of
                  any such right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option,
                  at
                  any time during a specified period before or after the date of
                  exercise
                  over (ii). the grant price of the right as specified by
                  the
                  Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the grant price, term,
                  methods of exercise, methods of settlement, and any other terms
                  and
                  conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined
                  by the
                  Committee. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions
                  on the
                  exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem
                  appropriate.

        Restricted Stock Units.

       

      (ii)  RESTRICTIONS.
        Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to
        such
        restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation,
        any
        limitation on the right to receive any dividend or other right or property),
        which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or
        times,
        in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem
        appropriate.

       

      (iii)  REGISTRATION.
        Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner
        as
        the Committee may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry
        registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event
        any stock certificate is issued in respect of Shares of restricted Stock
        granted
        under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the
        Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
        conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

       

      (iv)  FORFEITURE.
        Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment
        (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason
        during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock
        and all
        Restricted Stock Units still, in either case, subject to restriction shall
        be
        forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Committee
        may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company,
        waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect
        to
        Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. Unrestricted Shares,
        evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate, shall be
        delivered to the Participant promptly after such Restricted Stock shall become
        Released Securities.

                  or other
                  property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights valued
                  as
                  determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by,
                  the holder
                  of the Performance Award, in whole or in part, upon the achievement
                  of
                  such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee
                  shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
                  Award
                  Agreement, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance
                  period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any

                  to be
                  made pursuant to any Performance Award shall be determined by the
                  Committee. The goals established by the Committee shall be based
                  on any
                  one, or combination of, earnings per share, return on equity, return
                  on

                  Partial achievement of the goal(s) may result in a payment or vesting
                  corresponding to the degree of
                  achievement.

                  under

                  by
                  the Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts
                  (if any)
                  shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or
                  otherwise
                  reinvested. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such Awards may have
                  such
                  terms and conditions as the Committee shall
                  determine.

                  deemed by
                  the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, provided,
                  however, that such grants must comply with applicable law. Subject
                  to the
                  terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and
                  conditions
                  of such Awards.

      (iv)  LIMITS
        ON
        TRANSFER OF AWARDS. No Award (other than Released Securities), and no right
        under any such Award, shall be assignable, alienable, saleable, or transferable
        by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and

        alienation, attachment, or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable
        against the Company or any Affiliate.

        OF
        AWARDS. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined
        by
        the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any
        Incentive Stock Option exceed a period of ten years from the date of its
        grant.

        Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares
        or
        other securities are then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities
        laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such
        certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

                  or
                  termination that would impair the rights of any Participant, or
                  any other
                  holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted, without
                  the
                  consent of any share owner, Participant, other holder or beneficiary
                  of an
                  Award, or other Person.

                  any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate,

                  Awards theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, without
                  the
                  consent of any Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an
                  Award.

                ADJUSTMENTS
                  OF AWARDS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN UNUSUAL OR NONRECURRING
                  EVENTS.
                  Except as provided in the following sentence, the Committee shall
                  be
                  authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of,
                  and the
                  criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring
                  events (including, without limitation, the events described in
                  Section
                  4(b) hereof) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial
                  statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable
                  laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee
                  determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent
                  dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits to
                  be made
                  available under the Plan. In the case of any Award that is intended
                  to
                  qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section
                  162(m)
                  of the Code, the Committee shall not have authority to adjust the
                  Award in
                  any manner that would cause the Award to fail to meet the requirements
                  of
                  Section 162(m).

                  defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in
                  the Plan or
                  any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable
                  to carry
                  the Plan into effect.

                  claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation
                  for uniformity of treatment of Employees, Outside Director, Consultants,

                  and
                  conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each
                  recipient.

                  authority, subject to such terms and limitations as the Committee
                  shall
                  determine, to grant Awards to, or to cancel, modify, waive rights
                  with
                  respect to, alter, discontinue, suspend, or terminate Awards held

                  under
                  the Plan who are not officers or directors of the Company for purposes
                  of
                  Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
                  and who
                  also are not “covered employees” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the
                  Code.

              

      

       

      
        	(c)  	
                WITHHOLDING.
                  The Company or any Affiliate shall be authorized to withhold from
                  any
                  Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award
                  or under
                  the Plan the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards,
                  or
                  other property) of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award,
                  its
                  exercise, or any payment or transfer under such Award or under
                  the Plan
                  and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion
                  of the
                  Company or Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment
                  of such
                  taxes.

              

      

       

      
        	(d)  	
                NO
                  LIMIT ON OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS. Nothing contained in
                  the Plan
                  shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing
                  in
                  effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and such
                  arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only
                  in
                  specific cases. 

              

      

       

      
        	(e)  	
                NO
                  RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. The grant of an Award shall not be construed
                  as
                  giving a Participant the right to remain an employee, director
                  or
                  consultant of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company
                  or an
                  Affiliate may at any time terminate the service of any employee,
                  director
                  or consultant, free from any liability, or any claim under the
                  Plan,
                  unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award
                  Agreement.

                GOVERNING

                  rules and
                  regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance
                  with

                  law.

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

              

      

       

      
        	(h)  	
                NO
                  TRUST OR FUND CREATED. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create
                  or be
                  construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
                  relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant
                  or any
                  other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to
                  receive
                  payments from the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award,
                  such
                  right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
                  creditor
                  of the Company or any Affiliate.

              

      

       

      
        	(i)  	
                NO
                  FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
                  pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine
                  whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid
                  or
                  transferred in lieu of any fractional Share, or whether such fractional
                  Shares of any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or
                  otherwise
                  eliminated.

                HEADINGS.
                  Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the 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 the
                  Plan or any provision thereof.

              

      

       

      9.    EFFECTIVE
        DATE OF THE PLAN

       

      Subject
        to the approval of the shareholders of the Company, the Plan shall be effective
        September 15, 2005 (the “Effective Date”); provided, however, that to the
        extent that Awards are granted under the Plan before its approval by
        shareholders, the Awards will be contingent on approval of the Plan by the
        shareholders of the Company at an annual meeting, special meeting, or by
        written
        consent, which meeting shall be held within one year of the Effective
        Date.

      10.   TERM
        OF THE PLAN

       

      No
        Award
        shall be granted under the Plan more than 10 years after the Effective Date.
        However, unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Award Agreement,
        any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority
        of
        the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate
        any
        such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and
        the
        authority of the Board of Directors of the Company to amend the Plan, shall
        extend beyond such date.

       

      11.   TERMINATION
        OF PREDECESSOR PLANS

       

      Upon
        the
        Effective Date, the Predecessor Plans shall terminate and no further awards
        or
        grants may be made under such Predecessor Plans.
