respect to the Director Options (as defined in Section 6(c) herein), such
Director Options shall instead be granted and administered by the Corporate

Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the
Company, its Subsidiaries, their employees, Participants, consultants,
contractors, persons claiming rights from or through Participants and
stockholders of the Company.

              Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
full and final authority in its discretion (a) to select the employees,
Non-Employee Directors, contractors and consultants who will receive Awards
pursuant to the Plan ("Participants"), (b) to determine the type or types of
Awards to be granted to each Participant, (c) to determine the number of shares
of Stock to which an Award will relate, the terms and conditions of any Award
granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, restrictions as to
transferability or forfeiture, exercisability or settlement of an Award and
waivers or accelerations thereof, and waivers of or modifications to performance
conditions relating to an Award, based in each case on such considerations as
the Committee shall determine) and all other matters to be determined in
connection with an Award; (d) to determine whether, to what extent, and under
what circumstances an Award may be settled, or the exercise price of an Award
may be paid, in cash, Stock, other Awards or other property, or an Award may be
canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; (e) to determine whether, and to certify
that, Performance Goals to which the settlement of an Award is subject are
satisfied; (f) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan, and to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and
regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the
Plan; and (g) to make all other determinations as it may deem necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. The Committee may delegate to
executive officers of the Company the authority, subject to such terms as the
Committee shall determine, to

                                       3


exercise such authority and perform such functions, including, without
limitation, the selection of Participants and the grant of Awards, as the
Committee may determine, to the extent permitted under Rule 16b-3, Section
162(m) of the Code and applicable law; provided, however, that the Committee may
not delegate the authority to grant Awards, perform such functions or make any
determination affecting or relating to the executive officers of the Company.

Section 4.    PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

              Participants in the Plan shall be employees, Non-Employee
Directors, contractors and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that only persons who are key employees of the Company or any
subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) may be
granted Options which are intended to qualify as ISOs.

Section 5.    PLAN LIMITATIONS; SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, the aggregate number
of shares of Stock available for issuance as Awards under the Plan shall not
exceed 8,000,000 shares.

         (b) No Award may be granted if the number of shares to which such Award
relates, when added to the number of shares previously issued under the Plan and
the number of shares which may then be acquired pursuant to other outstanding,
unexercised Awards, exceeds the number of shares available for issuance pursuant
to the Plan. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited or such Award is
settled in cash or otherwise terminates or is settled for any reason whatsoever
without an actual distribution of shares to the Participant, any shares counted
against the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Plan with
respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, settlement,
or termination, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however,
that the Committee may adopt procedures for the counting of shares relating to
any Award to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting, and provide for
adjustments in any case in which the number of shares actually distributed
differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with such
Award. If a Participant tenders shares (either actually, by attestation or
otherwise) to pay all or any part of the exercise price on any Option or if any
shares payable with respect to any Award are retained by the Company in
satisfaction of the Participant's obligation for taxes, the number of shares
tendered or retained shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. Shares
issued under the Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of
outstanding awards to grant future awards as a commitment of the Company or any
Subsidiary in connection with the acquisition of another entity shall not reduce
the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan.

         (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof, the following
additional maximums are imposed under the Plan with respect to each fiscal year
of the Company: (i) the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be granted as
Awards to any Participant in any fiscal year shall not exceed, in the case of
any Stock-Based Awards, 1,500,000 shares of Stock, (ii) the maximum amount of
cash or cash payments that may be granted as Awards to any Participant in any
fiscal year shall not exceed $100,000 and (iii) the maximum number of

                                       4


Dividend Rights that may be granted as Awards to any Participant in any fiscal
year shall not exceed Dividend Rights with respect to more than 1,500,000 shares
of Stock.

Section 6.    AWARDS

         (a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 6. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or
the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section
9(a)), such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms
requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of the termination of employment or
other relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary by the Participant;
provided, however, that the Committee shall retain full power to accelerate or
waive any such additional term or condition as it may have previously imposed.
All Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

         (b) Options. The Committee may grant Options to Participants on the
following terms and conditions:

              (i)   The exercise price of each Option shall be determined by the
                    Committee at the time the Option is granted, but in the case
                    of ISOs the exercise price of any Option shall not be less
                    than the Fair Market Value of the shares covered thereby at
                    the time the Option is granted.

              (ii)  The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an
                    Option may be exercised in whole or in part, whether the
                    exercise price for an Option shall be paid in cash, by the
                    surrender at Fair Market Value of Stock, by any combination
                    of cash and shares of Stock, including, without limitation,
                    cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property (including
                    notes or other contractual obligations of Participants to
                    make payment on a deferred basis), the means or methods of
                    payment, including by "attestation" and through "cashless
                    exercise" arrangements, to the extent permitted by
                    applicable law, and the methods by which, or the time or
                    times at which, Stock will be delivered or deemed to be
                    delivered to Participants upon the exercise of such Option.

              (iii) The terms of any Option granted under the Plan as an ISO
                    shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section
                    422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, the
                    requirement that no ISO shall be granted more than ten years
                    after the effective date of the Plan.

         (c) Director Options.

              (i)   Each person who is elected for the first time to be a
                    Non-Employee Director by the Board of Directors of the
                    Company or by the stockholders of the Company shall receive,
                    on the date of his or her initial election, an automatic
                    grant of an Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Stock. The
                    date

                                       5


                    on which an Option is granted under this Section and Section
                    6(c)(ii) to a specified Non-Employee Director shall
                    constitute the date of grant of such Option (the "Date of
                    Grant").

              (ii)  Each Non-Employee Director shall also receive an automatic
                    annual grant of an Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Stock
                    on an annual basis; provided that, if such Non-Employee
                    Director is then serving as Chairman of the Board, such
                    Option shall be for 15,000 shares of Stock. The Options
                    granted pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) and this Section
                    6(c)(ii) shall be referred to herein as "Director Options."

              (iii) The exercise price per share of all Director Options shall
                    be the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the Date of
                    Grant. Each Director Option, to the extent vested, may be
                    exercised in whole or in part, the exercise price may be
                    paid in cash or (if specifically approved by the Nominating
                    Committee) by the surrender at Fair Market Value of Stock
                    (either actually, by attestation or otherwise), or (if
                    specifically approved by the Nominating Committee) by any
                    combination of cash and shares of Stock, and shall be
                    subject to such other terms and provisions as the Committee
                    shall determine.

              (iv)  Director Options shall vest at the rate of 33 1/3% per year
                    following the Date of Grant.

              (v)   If a Non-Employee Director shall voluntarily or
                    involuntarily cease to serve as a director of the Company
                    and, where applicable, as an employee of the Company, or if
                    a Non-Employee Director's service with the Company shall
                    terminate on account of death or disability, the unvested
                    Director Options of such Non-Employee Director shall
                    terminate immediately and the vested Director Options of
                    such Non-Employee Director shall terminate one year
                    following the first day that the Non-Employee Director is no
                    longer such a director (or in the case of a Non-Employee
                    Director who is also an employee, one year following the
                    later of the first day that the Non-Employee Director is no
                    longer a director or an employee of the Company); provided
                    that if such Non-Employee Director is removed for Director
                    Cause, the Director Options shall terminate immediately. In
                    no event may the Non-Employee Director, or his or her
                    guardian, conservator, executor or administrator, as the
                    case may be, exercise a Director Option of such Non-Employee
                    Director after the end of the original term of such option.

              (vi)  At its discretion, the Nominating Committee may issue any
                    other type of Award in lieu of a Director Option, provided
                    that the Fair Market Value of such Award (as determined by
                    the Nominating Committee in its sole

                                       6


                    discretion) is equal to the Fair Market Value of the
                    Director Option that would otherwise be granted pursuant to
                    this Section 6(c).

         (d) Deferred Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to award Deferred
Stock Units to Participants in lieu of payment of a bonus or a Stock-Based Award
or cash payment granted under the Plan if so elected by a Participant under such
terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Settlement of any
Deferred Stock Units shall be made in cash or shares of Stock.

         (e) Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted
Stock to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

              (i)   Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject
                    to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of
                    Section 83 of the Code, and such restrictions on
                    transferability and other restrictions and Performance Goals
                    for such periods as the Committee may establish.
                    Additionally, the Committee shall establish at the time of
                    such Award, which restrictions may lapse separately or in
                    combination at such times, under such circumstances, or
                    otherwise, as the Committee may determine.

              (ii)  Restricted Stock shall be forfeitable to the Company by the
                    Participant upon termination of employment during the
                    applicable restricted periods. The Committee, in its
                    discretion, whether in an Award Agreement or anytime after
                    an Award is made, may accelerate the time at which
                    restrictions or forfeiture conditions will lapse, or may
                    remove any Performance Goal requirement upon the death,
                    disability, retirement or otherwise of a Participant,
                    whenever the Committee determines that such action is in the
                    best interests of the Company.

              (iii) Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in
                    such manner as the Committee shall determine. If
                    certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in
                    the name of the Participant, such certificates may bear an
                    appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and
                    restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

              (iv)  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement,
                    the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder
                    with respect to shares of Restricted Stock awarded to him or
                    her, including, without limitation, the right to vote such
                    shares and the right to receive all dividends or other
                    distributions made with respect to such shares. If any such
                    dividends or distributions are paid in Stock, the Stock
                    shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to
                    the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to
                    which the Stock has been distributed.

                                       7


         (f) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant
SARs to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

              (i)   A SAR shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted
                    a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A)
                    the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of
                    exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR as determined
                    by the Committee as of the date of grant of the SAR.

              (ii)  The Committee shall determine the time or times at which a
                    SAR may be exercised in whole or in part, the method of
                    exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration
                    payable in settlement, method by which Stock will be
                    delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether
                    or not a SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and
                    any other terms and conditions of any SAR.

         (g) Cash Payments. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations
under applicable law, to grant to Participants cash payments, whether awarded
separately or as a supplement to any Stock-Based Award. The Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

         (h) Dividend Rights. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend
Rights to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

              (i)   Dividend Rights may be granted either separately or in
                    tandem with any other Award. If any Dividend Rights are
                    granted in tandem with any other Award, such Dividend Rights
                    shall lapse, expire or be forfeited simultaneously with the
                    lapse, expiration, forfeiture, payment or exercise of the
                    Award to which the Dividend Rights are tandemed. If Dividend
                    Rights are granted separately, such Dividend Rights shall
                    lapse, expire or be terminated at such times or under such
                    conditions as the Committee shall establish.

              (ii)  The Committee may provide that the dividends attributable to
                    Dividend Rights may be paid currently or the amount thereof
                    may be credited to a Participant's Plan account. The
                    dividends credited to a Participant's account may be
                    credited with interest, or treated as used to purchase at
                    Fair Market Value Stock or other property in accordance with
                    such methods or procedures as the Committee shall determine
                    and shall be set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing
                    such Dividend Rights. Any crediting of Dividends Rights may
                    be subject to restrictions and conditions as the Committee
                    may establish, including reinvestment in additional shares
                    of Stock or Stock equivalents. The Committee may provide
                    that the payment of any Dividend Rights shall be made, or
                    once made, may be forfeited under such conditions as the
                    Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine.

                                       8


              (iii) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized,
                    subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to
                    Participants such other Stock-Based Awards, in addition to
                    those provided in Sections 6(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f)
                    hereof, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the
                    purposes of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the
                    terms and conditions of such Awards. Stock delivered
                    pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right
                    granted under this Section 6(i) shall be purchased for such
                    consideration and paid for at such times, by such methods,
                    and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash,
                    Stock, other Awards, or other property, as the Committee
                    shall determine.

Section 7.    ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

         (a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards. Awards
granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted
either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any
other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of
the Company or any Subsidiary, or any business entity acquired by the Company or
any Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the
Company or any Subsidiary. If an Award is granted in substitution for another
Award or award, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or
award in consideration for the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in
addition to, or in tandem with other Awards or awards may be granted either as
of the same time as, or a different time from, the grant of such other Awards or
awards. The per share exercise price of any Option, grant price of any SAR or
the purchase price of any Award conferring a right to purchase Stock:

              (i)   If granted in substitution for an outstanding Award or
                    award, shall be not less than the lesser of (A) the Fair
                    Market Value of a share of Stock at the date such substitute
                    Award is granted or (B) such Fair Market Value at that date,
                    reduced to reflect the Fair Market Value at that date of the
                    Award or award required to be surrendered by the Participant
                    as a condition to receipt of the substitute Award; or

              (ii)  If retroactively granted in tandem with an outstanding Award
                    or award, shall not be less than the lesser of the Fair
                    Market Value of a share of Stock at the date of grant of the
                    later Award or at the date of grant of the earlier Award or
                    award.

         (b) Exchange and Buy Out Provisions. The Committee may at any time
offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash,
Stock, other Awards (subject to Section 7(a)), or other property based on such
terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and communicate to a
Participant at the time that such offer is made.

         (c) Performance Goals. The right of a Participant to exercise or
receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be
subject to such Performance Goals as may be specified by the Committee.

                                       9


         (d) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall, except as provided
herein, be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that in no event shall the term of any Option (other than a Director
Option granted to an Non-Employee Director who is not an employee of the
Company), SAR or Dividend Right exceed a period of ten years from the date of
its grant; provided that in the case of any ISO, the term of the Option shall be
such shorter period as may be applicable under Section 422 of the Code.

         (e) Form of Payment. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a
Subsidiary upon the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as
the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other
Awards, or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, or
on a deferred basis. The Committee may, whether at the time of grant or at any
time thereafter prior to payment or settlement, permit (subject to any
conditions as the Committee may from time to time establish) a Participant to
elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any payment of cash or Stock
that would otherwise be due to such Participant in payment or settlement of an
Award under the Plan. (Such payments may include, without limitation, provisions
for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest in respect of deferred
payments credited in cash, and the payment or crediting of Dividend Rights in
respect of deferred amounts credited in Stock equivalents.) The Committee, in
its discretion, may accelerate any payment or transfer upon a change of control
as defined by the Committee. The Committee may also authorize payment upon the
exercise of an Option by net issuance or other cashless exercise methods.

         (f) Loan Provisions. With the consent of the Committee, and subject at
all times to laws and regulations and other binding obligations or provisions
applicable to the Company, including but not limited to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, the Company may make, guarantee, or arrange for a loan or loans to a
Participant with respect to the exercise of any Option or other payment in
connection with any Award, including the payment by a Participant of any or all
federal, state, or local income or other taxes due in connection with any Award.
Subject to such limitations, the Committee shall have full authority to decide
whether to make a loan or loans hereunder and to determine the amount, terms,
and provisions of any such loan or loans, including the interest rate to be
charged in respect of any such loan or loans, whether the loan or loans are to
be with or without recourse against the borrower, the terms on which the loan is
to be repaid and the conditions, if any, under which the loan or loans may be
forgiven.

         (g) Awards to Comply with Section 162(m). The Committee may (but is not
required to) grant an Award pursuant to the Plan to a Participant that is
intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of
the Code (a "Performance-Based Award"). The right to receive a Performance-Based
Award, other than Options and SARs granted at not less than Fair Market Value,
may vary from Participant to Participant and Performance-Based Award to
Performance-Based Award, and shall be conditional upon the achievement of
Performance Goals that have been established by the Committee in writing not
later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of the Performance
Cycle and (ii) the date by which no more than 25% of a Performance Cycle has
elapsed. Before any compensation

                                       10


pursuant to a Performance-Based Award (other than Options and SARs granted at
not less than Fair Market Value) is paid, the Committee shall certify in writing
that the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance-Based Award were in
fact satisfied.

Section 8.    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

         (a) In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock
dividend, recapitalization, forward split or reverse split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange, or
other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock or the book
value of the Company such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the
Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of
(i) the number and kind of shares of Stock which may thereafter be issued in
connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock issuable in
respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the aggregate number and kind of shares of
Stock available under the Plan, and (iv) the exercise price, grant price, or
purchase price relating to any Award or, if deemed appropriate, make provision
for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding Award; provided, however, in
each case, that no adjustment shall be made that would cause the Plan to violate
Section 422(b)(1) of the Code with respect to ISOs or that would adversely
affect the status of a Performance-Based Award as "performance-based
compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

         (b) In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the
terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards, including any
Performance Goals, in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including,
without limitation, events described in the preceding paragraph) affecting the
Company or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws,
regulations, or accounting principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
adjustment shall be made in any outstanding Performance-Based Awards to the
extent that such adjustment would adversely affect the status of the
Performance-Based Award as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m)
of the Code.

Section 9.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

         (a) Changes to the Plan and Awards. The Board of Directors of the
Company may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or the
Committee's (or the Nominating Committee's) authority to grant Awards under the
Plan without the consent of the Company's stockholders or Participants, except
that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination
shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders within one year
after such Board action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal
or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board
may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the
Plan to the stockholders for approval; provided, however, that without the
consent of an affected Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation, or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect
the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted and any Award
Agreement relating thereto. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights
under, or amend, alter,

                                       11


suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award
Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that without the consent of an
affected Participant, no such amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation, or termination of any Award may materially and adversely affect
the rights of such Participant under such Award.

              The foregoing notwithstanding, any Performance Goal or other
performance condition specified in connection with an Award shall not be deemed
a fixed contractual term, but shall remain subject to adjustment by the
Committee, in its discretion at any time in view of the Committee's assessment
of the Company's strategy, performance of comparable companies, and other
circumstances, except to the extent that any such adjustment to a performance
condition would adversely affect the status of a Performance-Based Award as
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code.

         (b) No Right to Award or Employment. Except as provided in Section
6(c), no employee, Non-Employee Director, contractor or consultant or other
person shall have any claim or right to receive an Award under the Plan. Neither
the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any
employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary
or be viewed as requiring the Company or Subsidiary to continue the services of
any contractor or consultant for any period. There is no obligation for
uniformity of treatment among Participants. Except as set forth in Section
6(e)(iv), no Award shall confer on any Participant any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company unless and until Stock is duly issued or transferred
to the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award.

         (c) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold from
any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including
from a distribution of Stock or any payroll or other payment to a Participant
amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction
involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem
advisable to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the
payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award.
This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Stock or other
property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a
Participant's tax obligations. Withholding of taxes in the form of shares of
Stock from the profit attributable to the exercise of any Option shall not occur
at a rate that exceeds the minimum required statutory federal and state
withholding rates.

         (d) Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award or other right
or interest of a Participant under the Plan shall be pledged, encumbered, or
hypothecated to, or in favor of, or subject to any lien, obligation, or
liability of such Participants to, any party, other than the Company or any
Subsidiary, or assigned or transferred by such Participant otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Awards and rights shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or
his or her guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may, in its discretion, provide that Awards or other rights or
interests of a Participant granted pursuant to the Plan (other than an ISO) be
transferable, without consideration, to immediate family members (i.e.,
children,

                                       12


grandchildren or spouse), to trusts for the benefit of such immediate family
members and to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners.
The Committee may attach to such transferability feature such terms and
conditions as it deems advisable. In addition, a Participant may, in the manner
established by the Committee, designate a beneficiary (which may be a person or
a trust) to exercise the rights of the Participant, and to receive any
distribution, with respect to any Award upon the death of the Participant. A
beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other person claiming any rights
under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant,
except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional
restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

         (e) Securities Law Requirements.

              (i)   No Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable if the
                    Company shall at any time determine that (a) the listing
                    upon any securities exchange, registration or qualification
                    under any state or federal law of any Stock otherwise
                    deliverable upon such exercise, or (b) the consent or
                    approval of any regulatory body or the satisfaction of
                    withholding tax or other withholding liabilities, is
                    necessary or appropriate in connection with such exercise.
                    In any of the events referred to in clause (a) or clause (b)
                    above, the exercisability of such Awards shall be suspended
                    and shall not be effective unless and until such
                    withholding, listing, registration, qualifications or
                    approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any
                    conditions not acceptable to the Company in its sole
                    discretion, notwithstanding any termination of any Award or
                    any portion of any Award during the period when
                    exercisability has been suspended.

              (ii)  The Committee may require, as a condition to the right to
                    exercise any Award that the Company receive from the
                    Participant, at the time any such Award is exercised, vests
                    or any applicable restrictions lapse, representations,
                    warranties and agreements to the effect that the shares are
                    being purchased or acquired by the Participant for
                    investment only and without any present intention to sell or
                    otherwise distribute such shares and that the Participant
                    will not dispose of such shares in transactions which, in
                    the opinion of counsel to the Company, would violate the
                    registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as
                    then amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The
                    certificates issued to evidence such shares shall bear
                    appropriate legends summarizing such restrictions on the
                    disposition thereof.

                                       13


         (f) Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been
terminated, the Plan shall terminate on April 27, 2015, and no Options under the
Plan shall thereafter be granted.

         (g) Fractional Shares. The Company will not be required to issue any
fractional common shares pursuant to the Plan. The Committee may provide for the
elimination of fractions and for the settlement of fractions in cash.

         (h) Discretion. In exercising, or declining to exercise, any grant of
authority or discretion hereunder, the Committee may consider or ignore such
factors or circumstances and may accord such weight to such factors and
circumstances as the Committee alone and in its sole judgment deems appropriate
and without regard to the effect such exercise, or declining to exercise such
grant of authority or discretion, would have upon the affected Participant, any
other Participant, any employee, the Company, any Subsidiary, any stockholder or
any other person.

         (i) Adoption of the Plan and Effective Date. The Plan shall be adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall be effective as of the date
of Stockholder approval.

                                       14
