         fiscal year of the Company, except that the Company may make additional
         one-time grants of up to 3,000,000 shares to newly hired individuals,
         such limitation to be applied in a manner consistent with the
         requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with,
         the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation
         under Section 162(m) of the Code.

                                       3




4.3.  Reuse of Shares

         Any shares of Common Stock that have been made subject to an Award that
cease to be subject to the Award (other than by reason of exercise or payment of
the Award to the extent it is exercised for or settled in vested and
nonforfeitable shares) shall again be available for issuance in connection with
future grants of Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that for purposes of
Section 4.2, any such shares shall be counted in accordance with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

                             SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY

         Awards may be granted under the Plan to those officers, directors and
employees of the Company and its Related Corporations as the Plan Administrator
from time to time selects. Awards may also be made to consultants, agents,
advisors and independent contractors who provide services to the Company and its
Related Corporations; provided such Participants render bona fide services that
are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company's securities in a
capital-raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or
maintain a market for the Company's securities.

                                SECTION 6. AWARDS

6.1.  Form and Grant of Awards

         The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole
discretion, to determine the type or types of Awards to be made under the Plan.
Such Awards may include, but are not limited to, Incentive Stock Options,
Nonqualified Stock Options and Stock Awards. Awards may be granted singly or in
combination.

6.2.  Settlement of Awards

         The Company may settle Awards through the delivery of shares of Common
Stock, cash payments, the granting of replacement Awards, or any combination
thereof as the Plan Administrator shall determine. Any Award settlement,
including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator
may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to such rules
and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment
or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such
credits into deferred stock equivalents. The Plan Administrator may at any time
offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Common Stock, an Option previously
granted based on such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall
establish and communicate to the Participant at the time such offer is made.

6.3.  Acquired Company Awards

         Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan
Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for awards issued
under other plans, or assume under the Plan awards issued under other plans, if
the other plans are or were plans of other acquired entities ("Acquired
Entities") (or the parent of the Acquired Entity) and the new Award is
substituted, or the old award is assumed, by reason of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or of stock, reorganization or liquidation (the
"Acquisition Transaction"). In the event that a written agreement pursuant to
which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is approved by the Board and said
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the substitution for or
assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired Entity, said terms and
conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the Plan Administrator without
any further action by the Plan Administrator, except as may be required for
compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the persons holding such
Awards shall be deemed to be Participants.

                                       4

Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date with respect to
Incentive Stock Options and not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the Grant Date with respect to Nonqualified Stock Options. For
Incentive Stock Options granted to a more than 10% shareholder, the option
exercise price shall be as specified in Section 8.2.

         The term of each Option shall be as established by the Plan

7.4.  Exercise of Options

         The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument
that evidences an Option the time at which, or the installments in which, the
Option shall vest and become exercisable, which provisions may be waived or
modified by the Plan Administrator at any time. If not so established in the
instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall vest and become exercisable
according to the following schedule, which may be waived or modified by the Plan
Administrator at any time:

Period of Participant's Continuous Employment     Percent of Total Option
or Service With the Company or Its Related        That is Vested and Exercisable
Corporations From the Option Grant Date

After 1 year                                      25%

service completed thereafter

After 4 years                                     100%

an Option may be exercised from time to time by delivery to the Company of a
written stock option exercise agreement or notice, in a form and in accordance
with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth the number
of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, the restrictions
imposed on the shares purchased under such exercise agreement, if any, and such
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company, accompanied by
payment in full as described in Section 7.5. An Option may not be exercised as
to less than a reasonable number of shares at any one time, as determined by the
Plan Administrator.

                                       5




7.5.  Payment of Exercise Price

         The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid
in full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the
Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration
must be paid in cash or by check or, unless the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion determines otherwise, either at the time the Option is granted or at
any time before it is exercised, any combination of:

                  (a) cash or check;

                  (b) tendering (either actually or, if and so long as the
         Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange
         Act, by attestation) shares of Common Stock already owned by the
         Participant for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to
         avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting
         purposes) having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the exercise
         date equal to the aggregate Option exercise price;

                  (c) if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under
         Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly
         executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to
         (i) a brokerage firm designated by the Company to deliver promptly to
         the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the
         Option exercise price and any withholding tax obligations that may
         arise in connection with the exercise and (ii) the Company to deliver
         the certificates for such purchased shares directly to such brokerage
         firm, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Reserve
         Board; or

                  (d) such other consideration as the Plan Administrator may
         permit.

         In addition, to assist a Participant (including a Participant who is an
officer or a director of the Company) in acquiring shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan, the Plan Administrator, in its sole
discretion, may authorize, either at the Grant Date or at any time before the
acquisition of Common Stock pursuant to the Award, (a) the payment by a
Participant of a full-recourse promissory note, (b) the payment by the
Participant of the purchase price, if any, of the Common Stock in installments,
or (c) the guarantee by the Company of a full-recourse loan obtained by the
Participant from a third party. Subject to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator
shall in its sole discretion specify the terms of any loans, installment
payments or loan guarantees, including the interest rate and terms of and
security for repayment.

7.6. Post-Termination Exercises

         The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument
that evidences an Option whether the Option will continue to be exercisable, and
the terms and conditions of such exercise, if a Participant ceases to be
employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or its Related Corporations,
which provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any
time. If not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option
shall be exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may
be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time:

                  (a) Any portion of an Option that is not vested and
         exercisable on the date of termination of the Participant's employment
         or service relationship (the "Termination Date") shall expire on such
         date, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise.

                                       6




                  (b) Any portion of an Option that is vested and exercisable on
         the Termination Date shall expire upon the earliest to occur of:

                           (i) the last day of the Option term;

                           (ii) if the Participant's Termination Date occurs for
                  reasons other than Cause, death, Disability or Retirement, the
                  three-month anniversary of such Termination Date;

                           (iii) if the Participant's Termination Date occurs by
                  reason of Retirement, the one-year anniversary of such
                  Termination Date; or

                           (iv) if the Participant's Termination Date occurs by
                  reason of Disability or death, the one-year anniversary of
                  such Termination Date.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant dies after the
Termination Date while the Option is otherwise exercisable, the portion of the
Option that is vested and exercisable on such Termination Date shall expire upon
the earlier to occur of (y) the last day of the Option term or (z) the first
anniversary of the date of death, unless the Plan Administrator determines
otherwise.

         Also notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of termination of the
Participant's employment or service relationship for Cause, the Option shall
automatically expire upon first notification to the Participant of such
termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a
Participant's employment or service relationship with the Company is suspended
pending an investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for
Cause, all the Participant's rights under any Option likewise shall be suspended
during the period of investigation.

         A Participant's transfer of employment or service relationship between
or among the Company and its Related Corporations, or a change in status from or
to an employee to or from a consultant, shall not be considered a termination of
employment or service relationship for purposes of this Section 7. The effect of
a Company-approved leave of absence on the terms and conditions of an Option
shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

                  SECTION 8. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS

         To the extent required by Section 422 of the Code, Incentive Stock
Options shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

8.1.  Dollar Limitation

         To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
Grant Date) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all
other stock option plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such portion in
excess of $100,000 shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. In the event
the Participant holds two or more such Options that become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year, such limitation shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such Options are granted.

8.2.  10% Shareholders

         If an individual owns more than 10% of the total voting power of all
classes of the Company's stock, then the exercise price per share of an
Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the Grant Date and the Option term shall not exceed five
years. The determination of 10% ownership shall be made in accordance with
Section 422 of the Code.

                                       7




8.3.  Eligible Employees

         Individuals who are not employees of the Company or one of its parent
corporations or subsidiary corporations may not be granted Incentive Stock
Options. For purposes of this Section 8.3, "parent corporation" and "subsidiary
corporation" shall have the meanings attributed to those terms for purposes of
Section 422 of the Code.

8.4.  Term

         Subject to Section 8.2, the term of an Incentive Stock Option shall not
exceed 10 years.

8.5.  Exercisability

         An Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option shall cease to
qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option to the extent
it is exercised (if permitted by the terms of the Option) (a) more than three
months after the Termination Date for reasons other than death or disability,
(b) more than one year after the Termination Date by reason of Disability or (c)
after the Participant has been on leave of absence for more than 90 days, unless
the Participant's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or contract.

         For purposes of this Section 8.5, Disability shall mean "permanent and
total disability" as that term is defined for purposes of Section 422 of the
Code.

8.6.  Taxation of Incentive Stock Options

         In order to obtain certain tax benefits afforded to Incentive Stock
Options under Section 422 of the Code, the Participant must hold the shares
issued upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option for two years after the
Grant Date and one year from the date of exercise. A Participant may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax at the time of exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition
of shares acquired by the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the
expiration of such holding periods.

8.7.  Promissory Notes

         The amount of any promissory note delivered pursuant to Section 7.5 in
connection with an Incentive Stock Option shall bear interest at a rate
specified by the Plan Administrator but in no case less than the rate required
to avoid imputation of interest (taking into account any exceptions to the
imputed interest rules) for federal income tax purposes.

                             SECTION 9. STOCK AWARDS

9.1.  Grant of Stock Awards

         The Plan Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Common Stock or
Awards denominated in units of Common Stock on such terms and conditions and
subject to such restrictions, if any, which may be based on continuous service
with the Company or the achievement of performance goals related to profits,
profit growth, profit-related return ratios, cash flow or total shareholder
return, where such goals may be stated in absolute terms or relative to
comparison companies as the Plan Administrator shall determine, in its sole
discretion, which terms, conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the
instrument evidencing the Award. The terms, conditions and restrictions that the
Plan Administrator shall have the power to determine shall include, without
limitation, the manner in which shares subject to Stock Awards are held during
the periods they are subject to restrictions and the circumstances under which
forfeiture of the Stock Award shall occur by reason of termination of the
Participant's employment or service relationship.

                                       8




9.2.  Issuance of Shares

         Upon the satisfaction of any terms, conditions and restrictions
prescribed in respect to a Stock Award, or upon the Participant's release from
any terms, conditions and restrictions of a Stock Award, as determined by the
Plan Administrator, the Company shall release, as soon as practicable, to the
Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death, to the personal
representative of the Participant's estate or as the appropriate court directs,
the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock.

9.3.  Waiver of Restrictions

         Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Plan
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any
other terms, conditions or restrictions on any Stock Award under such
circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator
shall deem appropriate; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may not
adjust performance goals for any Stock Award intended to be exempt under Section
162(m) of the Code for the year in which the Stock Award is settled in such a
manner as would increase the amount of compensation otherwise payable to a
Participant.

                             SECTION 10. WITHHOLDING

         The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the
amount of any withholding taxes that the Company is required to withhold with
respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of any Award. Subject to the Plan and
applicable law, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the
Participant to satisfy withholding obligations (up to the minimum required
federal tax withholding rate), in whole or in part, by electing to have the
Company withhold shares of Common Stock or by transferring shares of Common
Stock to the Company, in such amounts as are equivalent to the Fair Market Value
of the withholding obligation. The Company shall have the right to withhold from
any Award or any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an Award or from
any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the Company to the
Participant an amount equal to such taxes. The Company may also deduct from any
Award any other amounts due from the Participant to the Company or a Related
Corporation.

                            SECTION 11. ASSIGNABILITY

         Awards granted under this Plan and any interest therein may not be
assigned, pledged or transferred by the Participant and may not be made subject
to attachment or similar proceedings otherwise than by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such
Awards may be exercised only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Code, the Plan Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may permit such assignment, transfer and exercisability
and may permit a Participant to designate a beneficiary who may exercise the
Award or receive compensation under the Award after the Participant's death;
provided, however, that any Award so assigned or transferred shall be subject to
all the same terms and conditions contained in the instrument evidencing the
Award.

                                       9




                             SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENTS

12.1.  Adjustment of Shares

         In the event that, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend,
stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash
dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure
results in (a) the outstanding shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or
received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or class of
securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or
additional securities of the Company being received by the holders of shares of
Common Stock of the Company, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional
adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities subject to the Plan
as set forth in Section 4.1 and the maximum number and kind of securities that
may be made subject to Stock Awards and to Awards to any individual as set forth
in Section 4.2, and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to
any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any
change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the Plan
Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be
conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by
this Section 12.1 but shall be governed by Sections 12.2 and 12.3, respectively.

12.2.  Dissolution or Liquidation

         In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Plan Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Plan Administrator
in its discretion may permit a Participant to exercise an Option until ten days
prior to such transaction with respect to all vested and exercisable shares of
Common Stock covered thereby and with respect to such number of unvested shares
as the Plan Administrator shall determine. In addition, the Plan Administrator
may provide that any forfeiture provision or Company repurchase option
applicable to any Award shall lapse as to such number of shares as the Plan
Administrator shall determine, contingent upon the occurrence of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the
extent an Option has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate
automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action. To
the extent a forfeiture provision applicable to a Stock Award has not been
waived by the Plan Administrator, the Stock Award shall be forfeited
automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action.

12.3.  Corporate Transaction

         In the event of a Corporate Transaction, except as otherwise provided
in the instrument evidencing the Award, each outstanding Option shall be assumed
or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or its
parent corporation (the "Successor Corporation"). In the event that the
Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Option
shall terminate, but the Participant shall have the right immediately prior to
the Corporate Transaction to exercise the Participant's Option to the extent the
vesting requirements applicable to the Option have been satisfied.

12.4.  Further Adjustment of Awards

         Subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.3, the Plan Administrator shall have
the discretion, exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, liquidation or change in control of the Company, as defined by
the Plan Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be
necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to Participants, with respect to
Awards. Such authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to)
establishing, amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or
restrictions on, Awards so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or
additional time for exercise, lifting restrictions and other modifications, and
the Plan Administrator may take such actions with respect to all Participants,
to certain categories of Participants or only to individual Participants. The
Plan Administrator may take such action before or after granting Awards to which
the action relates and before or after any public announcement with respect to
such sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or change in
control that is the reason for such action.

                                       10




12.5.  Limitations

         The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company's right to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all
or any part of its business or assets. 12.6 Fractional Shares In the event of
any adjustment in the number of shares covered by any Award, each such Award
shall cover only the number of full shares resulting from such adjustment.

                           SECTION 13. MARKET STANDOFF

         In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of
its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed
under the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public offering, a
person shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant
any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or
otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to
any shares issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan without the prior
written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such limitations shall be in
effect for such period of time as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters and agreed to by the Company's officers and directors with respect
to their shares; provided, however, that in no event shall such period exceed
180 days. The limitations of this paragraph shall in all events terminate two
years after the effective date of the Company's initial public offering. Holders
of shares issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to
the market standoff provisions of this paragraph only if the officers and
directors of the Company are also subject to similar arrangements.

         In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
Company's outstanding Common Stock effected as a class without the Company's
receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities
distributed with respect to the purchased shares shall be immediately subject to
the provisions of this Section 13, to the same extent the purchased shares are
at such time covered by such provisions.

         In order to enforce the limitations of this Section 13, the Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the purchased shares until the
end of the applicable standoff period.

                  SECTION 14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

14.1.  Amendment of Plan

         The Plan may be amended only by the Board in such respects as it shall
deem advisable; provided, however, to the extent required for compliance with
Section 422 of the Code or any applicable law or regulation, shareholder
approval shall be required for any amendment that would (a) increase the total
number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, (b) modify the class of
persons eligible to receive Options or (c) otherwise require shareholder
approval under any applicable law or regulation. Any amendment made to this Plan
that would constitute a "modification" to Incentive Stock Options outstanding on
the date of such amendment shall not, without the consent of the Participant, be
applicable to such outstanding Incentive Stock Options but shall have
prospective effect only.

14.2 Termination of Plan

          The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner
terminated as provided herein, the Plan shall terminate ten years after the
earlier of the Plan's adoption by the Board and approval by the shareholders.

14.3.  Consent of Participant

         The amendment or termination of the Plan or the amendment of an
outstanding Award shall not, without the Participant's consent, impair or
diminish any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted to the
Participant under the Plan; provided, however, that adjustments made pursuant to
Section 12 shall not be subject to these restrictions. Any change or adjustment
to an outstanding Incentive Stock Option shall not, without the consent of the
Participant, be made in a manner so as to constitute a "modification" that would
cause such Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option.

                                       11




                               SECTION 15. GENERAL

15.1.  Evidence of Awards

         Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and
restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not
inconsistent with the Plan.

15.2.  No Individual Rights

         Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed
to constitute an employment contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other
relationship with, the Company or any Related Corporation or limit in any way
the right of the Company or any Related Corporation of the Company to terminate
a Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without
cause.

15.3.  Registration

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

         The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register
for offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or
to register or qualify under state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock,
security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the
Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.
The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to
such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the
Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal
and state securities laws.

         To the extent that the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award
provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of shares of
Common Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock
exchange.

15.4.  No Rights as a Shareholder

         No Option or Stock Award denominated in units shall entitle the
Participant to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a shareholder unless
and until the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject
of such Award.

15.5.  Compliance With Laws and Regulations

         Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict,
limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are
officers or directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so
restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other
Participants. Additionally, in interpreting and applying the provisions of the
Plan, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be construed as an "incentive stock
option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

15.6.  Participants in Foreign Countries

         The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt such
modifications, procedures, and subplan as may be necessary or desirable to
comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or
its Related Corporations may operate to assure the viability of the benefits
from Awards granted to Participants employed in such countries and to meet the
objectives of the Plan.

                                       12

15.7.  No Trust or Fund

         The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing
contained herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other
property, or shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any
special deposits for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any
Participant, and no Participant shall have any rights that are greater than
those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

15.8.  Severability

         If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Plan
Administrator, 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 Plan Administrator's determination, 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.

15.9.  Choice of Law

         The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto,
to the extent not otherwise governed by the laws of the United States, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of laws.

                           SECTION 16. EFFECTIVE DATE

         The Plan's Effective Date is the date on which it is adopted by the
Board, so long as it is approved by the Company's shareholders at any time
within 12 months of such adoption.

                                       13
