                             2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

                                    SECTION 1

                                     GENERAL

         (a) PURPOSE. This Computer Automation Systems, Inc. 2000 Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") has been established by Computer Automation Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") to (i) attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the
Plan; (ii) motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve
long-range goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are
competitive with those of other similar companies; and (iv) further identify
Participants' interests with those of the Company's other shareholders through
compensation that is based on the Company's common stock; and thereby promote
the long-term financial interest of the Company and the Related Corporations,
including the growth in value of the Company's equity and enhancement of
long-term shareholder return. With respect to any Incentive Stock Options that
may be granted hereunder, the Plan is intended to be an incentive stock option
plan within the meaning of section 422 of the Code.

         (b) PARTICIPATION. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the
Eligible Employees, those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under,
and thereby become "Participants" in, the Plan. In the discretion of the
Committee, a Participant may be granted more than one Award. Awards may be
granted as alternatives to, or replacements of, awards already outstanding under
the Plan or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Related
Corporation (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a
portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Related Corporation).

         (c) OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION, AND DEFINITIONS. The operation and
administration of the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 3 (relating to operation and
administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in
the Plan.

                                    SECTION 2

                                  STOCK OPTIONS

         2.1 TYPES OF OPTIONS. The grant of an "Option" entitles the Participant
to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee.
Options granted under this Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs")
or Non-Qualified Options ("NQOs"), as determined in the discretion of the
Committee. An ISO is an Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements
applicable to "incentive stock options" described in section 422(b) of the Code.
An NQO is any option that is not an ISO.

         2.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The "Exercise Price" of each Option shall be
established by the Committee or shall be determined by a method established by
the Committee, provided, however, that

                                       -1-

<PAGE>   3

the exercise price of an ISO shall in no event be less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the option Grant Date.

         2.3 TEN PERCENT STOCKHOLDERS. If a Participant owns more than ten
percent of the total combined voting power of all shares of stock of the Company
or any Related Corporation at the time an ISO is granted to such Participant,
the Exercise Price for the ISO shall be not less than one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the ISO on the
day the ISO is granted, and such ISO, by its terms shall not be exercisable
after the expiration of five years from the date the ISO is granted.

         2.4      EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

         (a)      An Option may be exercised only by giving written notice
                  specifying the number of shares as to which the Option is
                  being exercised, accompanied (except as otherwise provided in
                  Subsection (b) of this Section 2.4) by full payment for such
                  shares in the form of check or bank draft payable to the order
                  of the Company. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
                  permit a Participant to pay the Exercise Price with other
                  shares of the Stock with a current Fair Market Value equal to
                  the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased. Receipt by
                  the Company of such notice and payment shall constitute the
                  exercise of the Option or a part thereof. Within 20 days
                  thereafter, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered
                  to the Participant a certificate or certificates for the
                  number of shares then being purchased. Such shares shall be
                  fully paid and nonassessable. If such shares are not at that
                  time effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
                  as amended, the Participant shall include with such notice a
                  letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company,
                  confirming that such shares are being purchased for the
                  Participant's own account for investment and not with a view
                  to distribution.

         (b)      The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a
                  Participant to elect to effect payment of the Exercise Price
                  by including with the written notice referred to in Subsection
                  (a), irrevocable instructions to deliver for sale to a
                  registered securities broker acceptable to the Company, a
                  number of the shares subject to the Option being exercised
                  sufficient, after brokerage commissions, to cover the
                  aggregate exercise price of such Option and, if the
                  Participant further elected, the Participant's withholding
                  obligations with respect to such exercise, together with
                  irrevocable instructions to such broker to sell such shares
                  and to remit directly to the Company such aggregate exercise
                  price and, if the Participant has so elected, the amount of
                  such withholding obligation. The Company shall not be required
                  to deliver to such securities broker any stock certificate for
                  such shares until it has received from the broker such
                  exercise price and, if the Participant has so elected, such
                  withholding obligation amount.

         2.5 SETTLEMENT OF AWARD. Shares of Stock delivered pursuant to the
exercise of an option shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Committee may establish in the applicable Award Agreement.
The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such

                                       -2-

<PAGE>   4

conditions, restrictions and contingencies with respect to shares of Stock
acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it determines is desirable.

         2.6 OPTION PERIOD. No ISO may be exercised later than the tenth
anniversary of the Grant Date. The exercise period for a NQO shall be as set
forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may become exercisable in such
installments, cumulative or non-cumulative, or may be immediately exercisable,
as the Committee may determine and as set forth in the Award Agreement.

         2.7 MAXIMUM SIZE OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AS SUCH. To the extent that
the aggregate Fair Market Value of Stock for which an Incentive Stock Option
becomes exercisable by an Participant for the first time in any calendar year
exceeds $100,000, the portion of such Incentive Stock Option which exceeds such
$100,000 limitation shall be treated as a Non-Statutory Stock Option, and not an
Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of the Code. For purposes of this
Section 2.7, all Incentive Stock Options granted to an Participant by the
Company, as well as any options that have been granted to the Participant under
any other stock incentive plans of the Company or any Related Corporation which
are intended to comply with the provisions of section 422 of the Code, shall be
considered in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value
shall be determined as of the Grant Date.

                                    SECTION 3

                          OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

         3.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the
Company, the Plan shall be effective as of June 5, 2000 (the "Effective Date");
provided, however, that to the extent that Awards are granted under the Plan
prior to its approval by shareholders, the Awards shall be contingent on
approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company at an annual meeting,
special meeting, or by written consent.

         3.2 TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i)
June 5, 2010, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the
Plan have been issued as fully-vested shares, or (iii) termination of all
outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control.

         3.3      STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

         (a)      The shares of Stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of
                  authorized but unissued or reacquired Stock, including shares
                  repurchased by the Company. The maximum number of shares of
                  Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the
                  Plan shall not exceed Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) shares.
                  No Participant may be granted in any year Options to purchase
                  more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares of
                  Stock, subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.3.
                  Shares to be issued upon the exercise of Options granted under
                  the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or
                  shares held by the Company in its treasury. If an Option
                  expires or terminates for any reason without having been
                  exercised in full, the shares not purchased thereunder shall
                  again be available for Options thereafter to be granted.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>   5
         (b)      The number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the
                  Plan shall automatically increase on the first day of each
                  calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with the
                  2001 calendar year, by an amount equal to one and one-quarter
                  percent (1.25%) of the shares of Stock outstanding on the last
                  day of the immediately preceding calendar year, but in no
                  event shall such annual increase exceed Two Hundred Thousand
                  (200,000) shares.

         (c)      In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company
                  (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock
                  split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization,
                  reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
                  combination or exchange of shares), the Committee may adjust
                  Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the
                  Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of
                  the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the
                  Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject
                  to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the Exercise Price
                  of outstanding Options; and (iv) any other adjustments that
                  the Committee determines to be equitable.

         3.4 GENERAL RESTRICTIONS. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts
under the Plan shall be subject to the following:

         (a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company
                  shall have no liability to deliver any shares of Stock under
                  the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the
                  Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with
                  all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the
                  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the
                  requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

         (b)      To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock
                  certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of Stock, the
                  issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the
                  extent not prohibited by law or the rules of any stock
                  exchange.

         3.5 TAX WITHHOLDING. All exercises of Options under the Plan are
subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, including all federal, state and
local income and employment tax withholding obligations, and the Committee may
condition the delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on
satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Committee may, at or
after grant, permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding requirements
by delivery to the Company of shares retained from the Option grant creating the
tax obligation having a value equal to the amount to be withheld. The value of
shares of Stock to be withheld or delivered shall be based on the Committee's
determination of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.

         3.6 NOTICE OF DISPOSITION OF STOCK PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF SPECIFIED
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION HOLDING PERIOD. The Company may require that the person
exercising an Incentive Stock Option give a written representation to the
Company, satisfactory in form and substance to its counsel and upon which the
Company may reasonably rely, that he or she will report to the Company any
disposition of shares purchased upon exercise prior to the expiration of the
holding periods specified by section 422(a)(1) of the Code. If and to the extent
that the disposition imposes upon the Company

                                       -4-

<PAGE>   6

federal, state, local or other withholding tax requirements, or any such
withholding is required to secure for the Company an otherwise available tax
deduction, the Company shall have the right to require that the person making
the disposition remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy those
requirements.

         3.7 TRANSFERABILITY. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee,
Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the
Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be
exercised during the life of the Participant only by the Participant.

         3.8      TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

         (a)      The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any
                  options outstanding at the time of the Participant's
                  termination of Service or death:

                  (i)   Any option outstanding at the time of the Participant's
                        termination of Service for any reason shall remain
                        exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall
                        be determined by the Committee and set forth in the
                        documents evidencing the option, but no such option
                        shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option
                        term.

                  (ii)  Any option exercisable in whole or in part by the
                        Participant at the time of death may be subsequently
                        exercised by his or her Beneficiary.

                  (iii) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the
                        option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more
                        than the number of vested shares for which the option is
                        exercisable on the date of the Participant's termination
                        of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable
                        exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of
                        the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to
                        be outstanding for any vested shares for which the
                        option has not been exercised. However, the option
                        shall, immediately upon the Participant's termination of
                        Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the
                        extent the option is not otherwise at that time
                        exercisable for vested shares.

                  (iv)  Should the Participant's Service be terminated for
                        Misconduct or should the Participant engage in
                        Misconduct while his or her options are outstanding,
                        then, subject to the discretion of the Committee, all
                        such options shall terminate immediately and cease to be
                        outstanding.

         (b)      The Committee shall have complete discretion, exercisable
                  either at the time an option is granted or at any time while
                  the option remains outstanding:

                   (i)  to extend the period of time for which the option is to
                        remain exercisable following the Participant's
                        termination of Service

                                       -5-

<PAGE>   7

                        to such period of time as the Committee shall deem
                        appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of
                        the option term, and/or

                   (ii) to permit the option to be exercised, during the
                        applicable post-Service exercise period, for one or more
                        additional installments in which the Participant would
                        have vested had the Participant continued in Service.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant fails to
         exercise an Incentive Stock Option within three months after the date
         of his or her retirement, such Option will be treated as a
         Non-Statutory Stock Option.

         3.9 CHANGE IN CONTROL. Upon a Change in Control, each outstanding
Option shall immediately become fully exercisable, and a registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to shares covered by
all outstanding Options, whether to be issued by the Company or by any successor
corporation, shall be effective at all times during which the Options may be
exercised and, to facilitate resale of the shares, during the twelve months
after the last exercise of the Options.

         3.10 FORM AND TIME OF ELECTIONS. Unless otherwise specified herein,
each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other
person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or
revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such times,
in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.

         3.11 AGREEMENT WITH COMPANY. An Award under the Plan shall be subject
to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of any Award
to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written document as is
determined by the Committee. A copy of such document shall be provided to the
Participant, and the Committee may, but need not, require that the Participant
sign a copy of such document. Such document is referred to in the Plan as an
"Award Agreement" regardless of whether any Participant signature is required.

         3.12 ACTION BY COMPANY OR RELATED CORPORATION. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by the Company or any Related Corporation shall be by
resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the
board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for
the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable
rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of such company.

         3.13 GENDER AND NUMBER. Where the context admits, words in any gender
shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural,
and the plural shall include the singular.

         3.14 LIMITATION OF IMPLIED RIGHTS. The Plan does not constitute a
contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any
participating employee the right to be

                                       -6-

<PAGE>   8

retained in the employ of the Company or any Related Corporation, nor any right
or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has
specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided
in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any
rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual
fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

         3.15 EVIDENCE. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document, or other information that the person acting on
it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made, or presented by the
proper party or parties.

                                    SECTION 4

                                    COMMITTEE

         4.1 ADMINISTRATION. The authority to control and manage the operation
and administration of the Plan shall be vested in a committee (the "Committee")
in accordance with this Section 4. The Committee shall be selected by the Board
and shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board who at the relevant
time are non-employee "outside directors" within the meaning of section 162(m)
of the Code. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined
by the Board, the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise
be the responsibility of the Committee.

         4.2 POWERS OF COMMITTEE. The Committee's administration of the Plan
shall be subject to the following:

         (a)      Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
                  have the authority and discretion to select from among the
                  Eligible Employees those persons who shall receive Awards, to
                  determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types
                  of Awards and the number of shares covered by the Awards, to
                  establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria,
                  restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, and
                  (subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 5) to cancel

                  be identical), and to make all other determinations necessary
                  or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The

                  Section 4 shall be conclusive.

         (b)      The Committee shall have the authority and discretion to

                  and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms
                  and provisions of any Award Agreement made pursuant to the

                  persons.

         (d)      In controlling and managing the operation and administration
                  of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that

     3.1 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan shall become effective upon the date of its
adoption by the Board. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or in any
Option Agreement, an Option that is an Incentive Stock Option shall not vest or
be exercisable prior to the date upon which the Plan is approved by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve months after its adoption by the

                                 ADMINISTRATION

     4.1 COMPOSITION OF COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee
of, and appointed by, the Board. The Committee shall be comprised solely of two
or more outside directors (within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code and
applicable interpretative authority thereunder) and constituted so as to permit
the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3, as currently in effect or as hereafter
modified or amended, promulgated under the 1934 Act. In the absence of the
Board's appointment of such Committee to administer the Plan, the Board shall
serve as the Committee.

     4.2 POWERS. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee
shall have authority, in its discretion, to determine which Employees,
Consultants, or Directors shall receive an Award, the time or times when such
Award shall be made, whether an Incentive Stock Option or nonqualified Option
shall be granted, and the number of shares to be subject to each Option or
Restricted Stock Award. In making such determinations, the Committee shall take

<PAGE>   4

into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective Employees,
Consultants, or Directors, their present and potential contribution to the
Company's success, and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion
shall deem relevant.

     4.3 ADDITIONAL POWERS. The Committee shall have such additional powers as
are delegated to it by the other provisions of the Plan. Subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, these additional powers shall include the powers (i) to
construe the Plan and the respective agreements executed hereunder, (ii) to
prescribe rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (iii) to determine the
terms, restrictions, and provisions of the agreement relating to each Award,
including such terms, restrictions, and provisions as shall be requisite in the
judgment of the Committee to cause designated Options to qualify as Incentive
Stock Options, and (iv) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for administering the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any agreement relating
to an Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry it
into effect. The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in
this Section IV shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

                                       V.
                          GRANT OF AWARDS; LIMITATIONS;
                            STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     5.1 GRANT OF AWARDS. The Committee may from time to time in its discretion
grant Awards to one or more Employees, Consultants, or Directors determined by
it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the
provisions of Section VI.

     5.2 RESCISSION OF AWARDS ON ACCOUNT OF DETRIMENTAL ACTIVITY. Unless the
agreement evidencing an Award specifies otherwise, the Committee may cancel,
rescind, suspend, withhold, or otherwise limit or restrict any unexpired,
unpaid, or deferred Award at any time if the Committee determines that the
Holder has engaged in any Detrimental Activity. Upon exercise, payment, or
delivery pursuant to an Award, the Holder shall certify in a manner acceptable
to the Committee that he has not engaged in any Detrimental Activity. In the
event the Committee determines that a Holder has engaged in any Detrimental
Activity prior to, or during the six months after, any exercise, payment, or
delivery pursuant to an Award, (i) such exercise, payment, or delivery may be
rescinded by the Committee within six months of such determination, (ii) in the
event of such rescission, the Holder shall pay to the Company the amount of any
gain realized or payment received as a result of the rescinded exercise,
payment, or delivery, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the
Committee may require, and (iii) the Company shall be entitled to set-off
against the amount of any such gain any amount owed to the Holder by the
Company.

     5.3 LIMITATION ON SHARES ISSUED. Subject to adjustment in the same manner
as provided in Section IX with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to
Options then outstanding, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 15,000,000 shares. Notwithstanding
any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the maximum number of shares that may
be subject to Options granted under the Plan to an eligible individual during
any calendar year may not exceed 2,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as provided in Section IX with respect to shares of Common Stock
subject to Options then outstanding). The limitation set forth in the preceding
sentence shall be applied in a manner that will permit compensation generated
under the Plan to constitute "performance-based" compensation for purposes of
section 162(m) of the Code, including, without limitation, counting against such
maximum number of shares, to the extent required under section 162(m) of the
Code and applicable interpretative authority thereunder, any shares subject to
Options that are canceled or repriced. Shares shall be deemed to have been
issued under the Plan only (i) to the extent actually issued and delivered
pursuant to an Award or (ii) to the extent an Award is settled in cash. To the
extent that an Award lapses or the rights of its Holder terminate, any shares of
Common Stock subject to such Award shall again be available for the grant of an
Award.

     5.4 STOCK OFFERED. The stock to be offered pursuant to the grant of an
Award may be authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock previously
issued and outstanding and reacquired by the Company.

                                       VI.
                                   ELIGIBILITY

     6.1 ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD. Awards may be granted only to persons who, at
the time of grant, are Employees, Consultants, or Directors. An Award may be
granted on more than one occasion to the same person, and, subject to the
limitations set forth in the Plan, such Award may include an Incentive Stock
Option, an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option, a Restricted Stock
Award, or any combination thereof.

                                      VII.
                                  STOCK OPTIONS

     7.1 OPTION PERIOD. The term of each Option shall be as specified by the
Committee at the date of grant.

     7.2 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTION. An Option shall be exercisable in
whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Committee.
The Committee in its sole discretion may provide that an Option shall be
exercisable only upon the attainment of one or more performance goals or targets
established by the Committee, which are based on (1) the price of a share of
Common Stock, (2) the Company's earnings per share, (3) the Company's market
share, (4) the market share of a business unit of the Company designated by the
Committee, (5) the Company's sales, (6) the sales of a business unit of the
Company designated by the Committee, (7) the net income (before or after taxes)
of the Company or any business unit of the Company designated by the Committee,
(8) the cash flow return on investment of the Company or any business unit of
the Company designated by the Committee, (9) the earnings before or after
interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization of the Company or any
business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (10) the economic
value added, or (11) the return on stockholders' equity achieved by the Company.

     7.3 SPECIAL LIMITATIONS ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. An Incentive Stock
Option may be granted only to an individual who is an Employee at the time the
Option is granted. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the time the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of
Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for
the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive
stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations
exceeds $100,000, such Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Options that
do not constitute Incentive Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in
accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations, and
other administrative pronouncements, which of a Holder's Incentive Stock Options
will not constitute Incentive Stock Options because of such limitation and shall
notify the Holder of such determination as soon as practicable after such
determination. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an individual if,
at the time the Option is granted, such individual owns stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, within the meaning of
section 422(b)(6) of the Code, unless (i) at the time such Option is granted the
option price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
subject to the Option and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after
the expiration of five years from the date of grant. An Incentive Stock Option
shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercisable during the Holder's lifetime only by such
Holder or the Holder's guardian or legal representative.

     7.4 OPTION AGREEMENT. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement
in such form and containing such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions
of the Plan as the Committee from time to time shall approve, including, without
limitation, provisions to qualify an Incentive Stock Option under section 422 of
the Code. Each Option Agreement shall specify the effect of termination of (i)
employment, (ii) the consulting or advisory relationship, or (iii) membership on
the Board or board of directors of any parent or subsidiary corporation (as
defined in section 424 of the Code), as applicable, on the exercisability of the
Option. An Option Agreement may provide for the payment of the option price, in
whole or in part, by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock (plus
cash if necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to such option price.
Moreover, an Option Agreement may provide for a "cashless exercise" of the
Option by establishing procedures whereby the Holder, by a properly executed
written notice, directs (i) an immediate market sale or margin loan respecting
all or a part of the shares of Common Stock to which he is entitled upon
exercise pursuant to an extension of credit by the Company to the Holder of the
option price, (ii) the delivery of the shares of Common Stock from the Company
directly to a brokerage firm, and (iii) the delivery of the option price from
sale or margin loan proceeds from the brokerage firm directly to the Company.
Furthermore, an Option Agreement may provide for the surrender of the right to
purchase shares under the Option in return for a payment in cash or shares of
Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock equal in value
to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares with respect to which the
right to purchase is surrendered over the

<PAGE>   6

option price therefor ("Stock Appreciation Right"), on such terms and conditions
as the Committee in its sole discretion may prescribe. In the case of any such
Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in connection with an Incentive Stock
Option, such right shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock exceeds the price specified therefor in the Option or the portion
thereof to be surrendered. The terms and conditions of the respective Option
Agreements need not be identical.

     7.5 OPTION PRICE AND PAYMENT. The price at which a share of Common Stock
may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee
but, subject to adjustment as provided in Section IX, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, such purchase price shall not be less than (i) the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date such Option is granted, and
(ii) in the case of an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option, such
purchase price shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the date such Option is granted. The Option or portion thereof
may be exercised by delivery of an irrevocable notice of exercise to the
Company. The purchase price of the Option or portion thereof shall be paid in
full in the manner prescribed by the Committee. Separate stock certificates
shall be issued by the Company for those shares acquired pursuant to the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and for those shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of any Option that does not constitute an Incentive Stock Option.

     7.6 STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES. The Holder shall be entitled to all
the privileges and rights of a stockholder only with respect to such shares of
Common Stock as have been purchased under the Option and for which certificates
of stock have been registered in the Holder's name.

     7.7 OPTIONS AND RIGHTS IN SUBSTITUTION FOR STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED BY OTHER
CORPORATIONS. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted under the
Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by individuals
employed by corporations who become Employees as a result of a merger or
consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or any subsidiary,
or the acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of the assets of the employing
corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or a subsidiary of stock of the
employing corporation with the result that such employing corporation becomes a
subsidiary.

                                      VIII.
                             RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     8.1 FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS. Shares of Common Stock that are the subject of
a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to restrictions on disposition by the
Holder and an obligation of the Holder to forfeit and surrender the shares to
the Company under certain circumstances (the "Forfeiture Restrictions"). The
Forfeiture Restrictions shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion, and the Committee may provide that the Forfeiture Restrictions shall
lapse upon (i) the attainment of one or more performance goals or targets
established by the Committee, which are based on (1) the price of a share of
Common Stock, (2) the Company's earnings per share, (3) the Company's market
share, (4) the market share of a business unit of the Company designated by the
Committee, (5) the Company's sales, (6) the sales of a business unit of the
Company designated by the Committee, (7) the net income (before or after taxes)
of the Company or any business unit of the Company designated by the Committee,
(8) the cash flow return on investment of the Company or any business unit of
the Company designated by the Committee, (9) the earnings before or after
interest, taxes, depreciation, and/or amortization of the Company or any
business unit of the Company designated by the Committee, (10) the economic
value added, or (11) the return on stockholders' equity achieved by the Company,
(ii) the Holder's continued employment as an Employee or continued service as a
Consultant or Director for a specified period of time, (iii) the occurrence of
any event or the satisfaction of any other condition specified by the Committee
in its sole discretion, or (iv) a combination of any of the foregoing. Each
Restricted Stock Award may, in the discretion of the Committee, have different
Forfeiture Restrictions. The Forfeiture Restrictions applicable to a particular
Restricted Stock Award shall not be changed except as permitted by Paragraph 8.2
and Section IX.

     8.2 OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Common Stock awarded pursuant to a
Restricted Stock Award shall be represented by a stock certificate registered in
the name of the Holder of such Restricted Stock Award. The Holder shall have the
right to receive dividends with respect to Common Stock subject to a Restricted
Stock Award, to vote Common Stock subject thereto, and to enjoy all other
stockholder rights, except that (i) the Holder shall not be entitled to delivery
of the stock certificate until the Forfeiture Restrictions have expired, (ii)
the Company shall retain custody of the stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions
have expired, (iii) the Holder may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange,
hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the stock until the Forfeiture Restrictions
have expired, and (iv) a breach of the terms and conditions established by the
Committee pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement shall cause a forfeiture

<PAGE>   7

of the Restricted Stock Award. At the time of such Award, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions, or restrictions
relating to Restricted Stock Awards, including, but not limited to, rules
pertaining to the termination of employment or service as a Consultant or
Director (by retirement, disability, death, or otherwise) of a Holder prior to
expiration of the Forfeitures Restrictions. Such additional terms, conditions,
or restrictions shall be set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement made in
conjunction with the Award.

     8.3 PAYMENT FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee shall determine the amount
and form of any payment for Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock
Award, provided that, in the absence of such a determination, a Holder shall not
be required to make any payment for Common Stock received pursuant to a
Restricted Stock Award, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

     8.4 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT. At the time any Award is made under this
Section VIII, the Company and the Holder shall enter into a Restricted Stock
Agreement setting forth each of the matters contemplated hereby and such other
matters as the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The terms and
provisions of the respective Restricted Stock Agreements need not be identical.

                                       IX.
                       RECAPITALIZATION OR REORGANIZATION

     9.1 NO EFFECT ON BOARD'S OR STOCKHOLDERS' POWER. The existence of the Plan
and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power
of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize (i) any
adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in the Company's
capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, share exchange, or
consolidation of the Company, (iii) any issue of debt or equity securities
ranking senior to or affecting Common Stock or the rights thereof, (iv) the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (v) any sale, lease, exchange, or
other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business, or (vi) any
other corporate act or proceeding.

     9.2 ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF STOCK SUBDIVISION, CONSOLIDATION, OR
DIVIDEND. The shares with respect to which Options may be granted are shares of
Common Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the
expiration of an Option theretofore granted, the Company shall effect a
subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock
dividend on Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Option may
thereafter be exercised (i) in the event of an increase in the number of
outstanding shares, shall be proportionately increased, and the purchase price
per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction
in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately reduced, and the
purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased. Any fractional
share resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded up to the next whole
share.

     9.3 ADJUSTMENT IN THE EVENT OF RECAPITALIZATION OR CORPORATE CHANGE.

          9.3.1 If the Company recapitalizes, reclassifies its capital stock, or
     otherwise changes its capital structure (a "recapitalization"), the number
     and class of shares of Common Stock covered by an Option theretofore
     granted shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover the
     number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the Holder
     would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if,
     immediately prior to the recapitalization, the Holder had been the holder
     of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such
     Option.

          9.3.2 Notwithstanding any provision in this Paragraph 9.3 or elsewhere
     in the Plan to the contrary, this Subparagraph 9.3.2 shall only be
     effective after Metamor Worldwide, Inc. ceases to own ten percent or more
     of the Common Stock. If a Corporate Change occurs, then no later than (i)
     ten days after the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
     Corporate Change, other than a Corporate Change resulting from any person
     or entity acquiring or gaining ownership or control of more than 50% of the
     outstanding shares of the Company's voting stock, or (ii) thirty days after
     a Corporate Change resulting from a person or entity acquiring or gaining
     ownership or control of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the
     Company's voting stock, the Committee, acting in its sole discretion and
     without the consent or approval of any Holder, may effect one or more of
     the following alternatives, which alternatives may vary among individual
     Holders and which may vary among Options held by any individual Holder: (1)
     accelerate the vesting of any Options then outstanding, (2) accelerate the
     time at which Options then outstanding and vested may be exercised so that
     such Options

<PAGE>   8

     may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a
     specified date (before or after such Corporate Change) fixed by the
     Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and all
     rights of Holders thereunder shall terminate, (3) require the mandatory
     surrender to the Company by selected Holders of some or all of the
     outstanding Options held by such Holders (irrespective of whether such
     Options are then vested and/or exercisable under the provisions of the Plan
     or Option Agreement) as of a date, before or after such Corporate Change,
     specified by the Committee, in which event the Committee shall thereupon
     cancel such Options and pay to each Holder an amount of cash per share
     equal to the excess, if any, of the amount calculated in Paragraph 9.4
     below (the "Change of Control Value") of the shares subject to such Option
     over the exercise price(s) under such Options for such shares, (4) make
     such adjustments to Options then outstanding as the Committee deems
     appropriate to reflect such Corporate Change (provided, however, that the
     Committee may determine in its sole discretion that no adjustment is
     necessary to Options then outstanding), or (5) provide that the number and
     class of shares of Common Stock covered by an Option theretofore granted
     shall be adjusted so that such Option shall thereafter cover the number and
     class of shares of stock or other securities or property (including,
     without limitation, cash) to which the Holder would have been entitled
     pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger, consolidation, or sale of
     assets or dissolution if, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation,
     or sale of assets or dissolution, the Holder had been the holder of record
     of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Option.

     9.4 CHANGE OF CONTROL VALUE. For the purposes of clause (3) in Paragraph
9.3 above, the "Change of Control Value" shall equal the amount determined in
the following clause (i), (ii), or (iii), whichever is applicable: (i) the per
share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any such merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, or dissolution transaction, (ii) the price per
share offered to stockholders of the Company in any tender offer or exchange
offer whereby a Corporate Change takes place, or (iii) if such Corporate Change
occurs other than pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, the Fair Market Value
per share of the shares into which such Options being surrendered are
exercisable, as determined by the Committee as of the date determined by the
Committee to be the date of cancellation and surrender of such Options. In the
event that the consideration offered to stockholders of the Company in any
transaction described in this Paragraph 9.4 or in Paragraph 9.3 above consists
of anything other than cash, the Committee shall determine the fair cash
equivalent of the portion of the consideration offered that is other than cash.

     9.5 OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of stock dividends, spin offs of
assets, or other extraordinary dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations,
mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, liquidations, combinations, exchanges,
issuances of rights or warrants, or similar transactions or events not otherwise
provided for by this Section IX, (i) any outstanding Awards and any agreements
evidencing such Awards shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee in its
discretion as to the number and price of shares of Common Stock or other
consideration subject to such Awards and (ii) the aggregate number of shares
available under the Plan may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose
determination shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.

     9.6 STOCKHOLDER ACTION. If any event giving rise to an adjustment provided
for in the above Paragraphs requires stockholder action, such adjustment shall
not be effective until such action has been taken.

     9.7 NO ADJUSTMENT EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN. Except as hereinbefore
expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class
or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class for cash, property,
labor, or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company
convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not
for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be
made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards
theretofore granted or the purchase price per share, if applicable.

                                       X.
                      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     10.1 TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board in its discretion may terminate the
Plan at any time with respect to any shares, class, or series of Common Stock
for which Awards have not theretofore been granted.

     10.2 AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board shall have the right to alter or amend
the Plan or any part thereof from time to time; provided that no change in any
Award theretofore granted may be made that would impair the rights of the Holder
without the consent of the Holder; and provided, further, that the Board may
not, without approval of the

<PAGE>   9

stockholders, amend the Plan to (i) increase the maximum aggregate number of
shares that may be issued under the Plan or (ii) change the class of individuals
eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

                                       XI.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1 NO RIGHT TO AN AWARD. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action
of the Board or of the Committee hereunder (including, but not limited to, the
granting of an Award) shall be deemed to give an Employee, Consultant, or
Director any right to be granted an Option, a right to a Restricted Stock Award,
or any other rights hereunder except as may be evidenced by an Option Agreement
or a Restricted Stock Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company, and then
only to the extent and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein.

     11.2 UNFUNDED PLAN. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be
required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
segregation of funds or assets to insure the payment of any Award.

     11.3 NO EMPLOYMENT/CONSULTING/MEMBERSHIP RIGHTS CONFERRED. Nothing
contained in the Plan shall (i) confer upon any Employee or Consultant any right
with respect to continuation of employment or a consulting or advisory
relationship with the Company or any subsidiary or (ii) interfere in any way
with the right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate any Employee's
employment or any Consultant's consulting or advisory relationship at any time.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall confer upon any Director any right with
respect to continuation of membership on the Board or on the board of directors
of any parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code).
