                       2000 SUPPLEMENTAL STOCK AWARD PLAN
                    AS AMENDED AND RESTATED NOVEMBER 8, 2004

      1.    PURPOSE. The purpose of this 2000 Supplemental Stock Award Plan (the
"Plan") is to aid International Flavors & Fragrances Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Company"), in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding
employees, other than executive officers and directors of the Company, and
certain other persons who provide substantial services to the Company or its
subsidiaries or affiliates, to provide for equitable and competitive
compensation opportunities, to recognize individual contributions and reward
achievement of Company goals, and promote the creation of long-term value for
shareholders by closely aligning the interests of Participants with those of
shareholders. The Plan authorizes stock-based incentives for Participants.

      member or members have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, and any
      other entity in which the Participant or any family member or members own
      more than 50% of the voting interests, in each case designated by the
      Participant in his most recent written Beneficiary designation filed with
      the Committee as entitled to exercise rights or receive benefits in
      connection with the Award (or any portion thereof), or if there is no
      surviving designated Beneficiary, then the person, persons, trust or
      trusts entitled by will or the laws of descent and distribution to

      3.    ADMINISTRATION.

            (a)   Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by
      the Committee, which shall have full and final authority, in each case
      subject to and consistent with the provisions of the Plan, to select
      Eligible Persons to become Participants; to grant Awards; to determine the
      type and number of Awards, the dates on which Awards may be exercised and
      on which the risk of forfeiture or deferral period relating to Awards
      shall lapse or terminate, the acceleration of any such dates, the
      expiration date of any Award, 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, and other
      terms and conditions of, and all other matters relating to, Awards; to
      prescribe documents evidencing or setting terms of Awards (such Award
      documents need not be identical for each Participant), amendments thereto,
      and rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan and
      amendments thereto; to construe and interpret the Plan and Award documents
      and correct


                                      - 2 -



      defects, supply omissions or reconcile inconsistencies therein; and to
      make all other decisions and determinations as the Committee may deem
      necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Decisions of
      the Committee with respect to the administration and interpretation of the
      Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all persons interested
      in the Plan, including Participants, Beneficiaries, transferees under
      Section 10(b) and other persons claiming rights from or through a
      Participant, and shareholders.

            (b)   Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. The Committee may
      delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any subsidiary or
      affiliate, or committees thereof, the authority, subject to such terms as
      the Committee shall determine, to perform such functions, including
      administrative functions, as the Committee may determine. The express
      grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action
      by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or
      authority of the Committee.

            (c)   Limitation of Liability. The Committee and each member
      thereof, and any person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the
      Committee, shall be entitled, in good faith, to rely or act upon any
      report or other information furnished by any executive officer, other
      officer or employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, the
      Company's independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting
      in the administration of the Plan. Members of the Committee, any person
      acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee, and any officer
      or employee of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate acting at the
      direction or on behalf of the Committee or a delegee shall not be
      personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good
      faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law,
      be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such
      action or determination.

      4.    STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

            (a)   Overall Number of Shares Available for Delivery. Subject to
      adjustment as provided in Section 10(c), the total number of shares of
      Stock reserved and available for delivery in connection with Awards under
      the Plan shall be 4,500,000 shares; provided, however, that the total
      number of shares which may be issued and delivered in connection with
      Awards other than Options and SARs shall not exceed 100,000. Any shares of
      Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued
      shares, unless the Company's General Counsel determines that treasury
      shares shall be delivered under the Plan.

            (b)   Share Counting Rules. The Committee may adopt reasonable
      counting procedures to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting
      (as, for example, in the case of tandem or substitute awards) and make
      adjustments if the number of shares of Stock actually delivered differs
      from the number of shares previously counted in connection with an Award;
      provided, however, that shares withheld in payment of taxes upon vesting
      of Restricted Stock and shares equal to the number of outstanding shares
      surrendered in payment of the exercise price or taxes relating to an Award
      shall not become available again under the Plan if the withholding or
      surrender transaction occurs more than ten years after the date of
      adoption of the Plan, and otherwise shares shall not become available
      under this Section 4(b) in an event that would constitute a "material
      revision" of the Plan subject to shareholder approval under then
      applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Shares subject to an
      Award that is canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise
      terminated without a delivery of shares to the Participant will again be
      available for Awards, and shares withheld in payment of the exercise price
      or taxes relating to an Award and shares equal to the number surrendered
      in payment of any exercise price or taxes relating to an Award shall be
      deemed to constitute shares not delivered to the Participant and shall be
      deemed to again be available for Awards under the Plan. In addition, in
      the case of any Award granted in substitution for an award of a company or
      business acquired by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, shares
      issued or issuable in connection with such substitute Award shall not be
      counted against the number of shares reserved under the Plan, but shall be
      available under the Plan by virtue of the Company's assumption of the


                                      - 3 -



      plan or arrangement of the acquired company or business.

      5.    ELIGIBILITY. Awards may be granted under the Plan only to Eligible
Persons. For purposes of the Plan, an "Eligible Person" means a person who is
not an executive officer or director of the Company but who is an employee of
the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, a consultant or other person who
provides substantial services to the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or a
person who has been offered employment by the Company or a subsidiary or
affiliate, provided that such prospective employee or consultant or other person
may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to an Award until
such person has commenced employment with or providing of services to the
Company or a subsidiary or affiliate. An employee on leave of absence may be
considered as still in the employ of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate
for purposes of eligibility for participation in the Plan. For purposes of the
Plan, a joint venture in which the Company or a subsidiary has a substantial
direct or indirect equity investment shall be deemed an affiliate, if so
determined by the Committee.

      6.    SPECIFIC TERMS OF 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 10(e)), 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 termination
      of employment or service by the Participant and terms permitting a
      Participant to make elections relating to his or her Award. The Committee
      shall retain full power and discretion with respect to any term or
      condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan. The Committee
      shall require the payment of lawful consideration for an Award to the
      extent necessary to satisfy the requirements of the New York Business
      Corporation Law, and may otherwise require payment of consideration for an
      Award except as limited by the Plan.

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

                  (i)   Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock
            purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee,
            provided that such exercise price shall be not less than the Fair
            Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of such
            Option, subject to Sections 6(f) and 7(a).

                  (ii)  Option Term; Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee
            shall determine the term of each Option. The Committee shall
            determine the time or times at which or the circumstances under
            which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including
            based on achievement of performance goals and/or future service
            requirements), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid
            or deemed to be paid and the form of such payment (subject to
            Section 10(j)), including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other
            Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or any
            subsidiary or affiliate, or other property (including through
            "cashless exercise" arrangements, to the extent permitted by
            applicable law, but excluding any exercise method in which a
            personal loan would be made from the Company to the Participant),
            and the methods by or forms in which Stock will be delivered or
            deemed to be delivered in satisfaction of Options to Participants
            (including deferred delivery of shares representing the Option
            "profit," at the election of the Participant or as mandated by the
            Committee, with such deferred shares subject to any vesting,
            forfeiture or other terms as the Committee may specify).

            (c)   Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized to
      grant SAR's to Participants on the following terms and conditions:

                  (i)   Right to Payment. An 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


                                      - 4 -



            date of exercise (or, in the case of a "Limited SAR," the Fair
            Market Value determined by reference to the Change in Control Price,
            as defined under Section 8(d) hereof) over (B) the grant price of
            the SAR as determined by the Committee.

                  (ii)  Other Terms. The Committee shall determine at the date
            of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which and the
            circumstances under which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part
            (including based on achievement of performance goals and/or future
            service requirements), the method of exercise, method of settlement,
            form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in
            which Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
            Participants, and whether or not a SAR shall be free-standing or in
            tandem or combination with any other Award. Limited SARs that may
            only be exercised in connection with a Change in Control or other
            event as specified by the Committee may be granted on such terms,
            not inconsistent with this Section 6(c), as the Committee may
            determine.

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

                  (i)   Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock shall be
            subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture
            and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which
            restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times,
            under such circumstances (including based on achievement of
            performance goals and/or future service requirements), in such
            installments or otherwise and under such other circumstances as the
            Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except
            to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and any Award
            document relating to the Restricted Stock, a Participant granted
            Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a shareholder,
            including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to
            receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or
            other requirement imposed by the Committee).

                  (ii)  Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the
            Committee, upon termination of employment or service during the
            applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time
            subject to restrictions shall be forfeited and reacquired by the
            Company; provided that the Committee may provide, by rule or
            regulation or in any Award document, or may determine in any
            individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
            to Restricted Stock will lapse in whole or in part, including in the
            event of terminations resulting from specified causes.

                  (iii) Certificates for Stock. 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, the Committee may require
            that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the
            terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted
            Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the
            certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the
            Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.

                  (iv)  Dividends and Splits. As a condition to the grant of an
            Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may require that any
            dividends paid on a share of Restricted Stock shall be either (A)
            paid with respect to such Restricted Stock at the dividend payment
            date in cash, in kind, or in a number of shares of unrestricted
            Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such
            dividends, or (B) automatically reinvested in additional Restricted
            Stock or held in kind, which shall be subject to the same terms as
            applied to the original Restricted Stock to which it relates, or (C)
            deferred as to payment, either as a cash deferral or with the amount
            or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in shares of
            Deferred Stock, other Awards or other investment vehicles, subject
            to such terms as the Committee shall determine or permit a
            Participant to elect. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
            Stock distributed in connection with a Stock split or Stock
            dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, shall be
            subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to


                                      - 5 -



            the same extent as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such
            Stock or other property has been distributed.

            (e)   Deferred Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant Deferred
      Stock to Participants, which are rights to receive Stock, other Awards, or
      a combination thereof at the end of a specified deferral period, subject
      to the following terms and conditions:

                  (i)   Award and Restrictions. Issuance of Stock will occur
            upon expiration of the deferral period specified for an Award of
            Deferred Stock by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee,
            as elected by the Participant). In addition, Deferred Stock shall be
            subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture
            and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, which
            restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or
            at earlier specified times (including based on achievement of
            performance goals and/or future service requirements), separately or
            in combination, in installments or otherwise, and under such other
            circumstances as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or
            thereafter. Deferred Stock may be satisfied by delivery of Stock,
            other Awards, or a combination thereof (subject to Section 10(j)),
            as determined by the Committee at the date of grant or thereafter.

                  (ii)  Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the
            Committee, upon termination of employment or service during the
            applicable deferral period or portion thereof to which forfeiture
            conditions apply (as provided in the Award document evidencing the
            Deferred Stock), all Deferred Stock that is at that time subject to
            such forfeiture conditions shall be forfeited; provided that the
            Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award
            document, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions
            or forfeiture conditions relating to Deferred Stock will lapse in
            whole or in part, including in the event of terminations resulting
            from specified causes.

                  (iii) Dividend Equivalents. Unless otherwise determined by the
            Committee, Dividend Equivalents on the specified number of shares of
            Stock covered by an Award of Deferred Stock shall be either (A) paid
            with respect to such Deferred Stock at the dividend payment date in
            cash or in shares of unrestricted Stock having a Fair Market Value
            equal to the amount of such dividends, or (B) deferred with respect
            to such Deferred Stock, either as a cash deferral or with the amount
            or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional
            Deferred Stock, other Awards or other investment vehicles having a
            Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, as the
            Committee shall determine or permit a Participant to elect.

            (f)   Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Obligations. The Committee
      is authorized to grant Stock as a bonus, or to grant Stock or other Awards
      in lieu of obligations of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate to pay
      cash or deliver other property under the Plan or under other plans or
      compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as shall be determined by
      the Committee.

            (g)   Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant
      Dividend Equivalents to a Participant, entitling the Participant to
      receive cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property equivalent to all or
      a portion of the dividends paid with respect to a specified number of
      shares of Stock. Dividend Equivalents may be awarded on a free-standing
      basis or in connection with another Award. The Committee may provide that
      Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be
      deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock, Awards, or other
      investment vehicles, and subject to restrictions on transferability, risks
      of forfeiture and such other terms as the Committee may specify.

            (h)   Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject
      to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other
      Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part
      by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Stock or factors
      that may influence the value of Stock, including, without limitation,
      convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or
      exchangeable into Stock, purchase rights for Stock, Awards with value and
      payment contingent upon performance of the Company or business units
      thereof or any other factors designated by


                                      - 6 -



      the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock
      or the value of securities of or the performance of specified subsidiaries
      or affiliates or other business units. 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(h) shall be
      purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods,
      and in such forms, including, without limitation, cash, Stock, other
      Awards, notes, or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash
      awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under the Plan,
      may also be granted pursuant to this Section 6(h).

            (i)   Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant
      Performance Awards to Participants. Performance Awards may be denominated
      as a number of shares of Stock, shares of Stock having a specified cash
      value at a future date, or a number of other Awards (or a combination)
      which may be earned upon achievement or satisfaction of performance
      conditions specified by the Committee. In addition, the Committee may
      specify that any other Award shall constitute a Performance Award by
      conditioning the right of a Participant to exercise the Award or have it
      settled, and the timing thereof, upon achievement or satisfaction of such
      performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee
      may use such business criteria and other measures of performance as it may
      deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions, and may
      exercise its discretion to reduce or increase the amounts payable under
      any Award subject to performance conditions.

      7.    CERTAIN 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 or
      exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of
      the Company, any subsidiary or affiliate, or any business entity to be
      acquired by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or any other right
      of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any subsidiary or
      affiliate. 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. Subject to Section 10(j),
      the Committee may determine that, in granting a new Award, the
      in-the-money value or other value of any surrendered Award or award may be
      applied to reduce the exercise price of any Option, grant price of any
      SAR, or purchase price of any other Award.

            (b)   Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such
      period as may be determined by the Committee.

            (c)   Form and Timing of Payment under Awards; Deferrals. Subject to
      the terms of the Plan (including Section 10(j)) and any applicable Award
      document, payments to be made by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate
      upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement 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, in installments, or on a deferred
      basis. The settlement of any Award may be accelerated, and cash paid in
      lieu of Stock in connection with such settlement, in the discretion of the
      Committee or upon occurrence of one or more specified events (subject to
      Section 10(j)). Installment or deferred payments may be required by the
      Committee (subject to Section 10(e)) or permitted at the election of the
      Participant on terms and conditions established by the Committee. Payments
      may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting
      of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or
      crediting of Dividend Equivalents or other amounts in respect of
      installment or deferred payments denominated in Stock.

      8.    CHANGE IN CONTROL.

            (a)   Effect of "Change in Control" on Non-Performance Based Awards.
      In the event of a "Change in Control," the following provisions shall
      apply to non-performance based Awards, including Awards as to


                                      - 7 -



      which performance conditions previously have been satisfied or are deemed
      satisfied under Section 8(b), unless otherwise provided by the Committee
      in the Award document:

                  (i)   All deferral of settlement, forfeiture conditions and
            other restrictions applicable to Awards granted under the Plan shall
            lapse and such Awards shall be fully payable as of the time of the
            Change in Control without regard to deferral and vesting conditions,
            except to the extent of any waiver by the Participant or other
            express election to defer beyond a Change in Control and subject to
            applicable restrictions set forth in Section 10(a);

                  (ii)  Any Award carrying a right to exercise that was not
            previously exercisable and vested shall become fully exercisable and
            vested as of the time of the Change in Control and shall remain
            exercisable and vested for the balance of the stated term of such
            Award without regard to any termination of employment or service by
            the Participant other than a termination for "cause" (as defined in
            any employment or severance agreement between the Company or a
            subsidiary or affiliate and the Participant then in effect or, if
            none, as defined by the Committee and in effect at the time of the
            Change in Control), subject only to applicable restrictions set
            forth in Section 10(a); and

                  (iii) The Committee may, in its discretion, determine to
            extend to any Participant who holds an Option the right to elect,
            during the 60-day period immediately following the Change in
            Control, in lieu of acquiring the shares of Stock covered by such
            Option, to receive in cash the excess of the Change in Control Price
            over the exercise price of such Option, multiplied by the number of
            shares of Stock covered by such Option, and to extend to any
            Participant who holds other types of Awards denominated in shares
            the right to elect, during the 60-day period immediately following
            the Change in Control, in lieu of receiving the shares of Stock
            covered by such Award, to receive in cash the Change in Control
            Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock covered by such
            Award.

            (b)   Effect of "Change in Control" on Performance-Based Awards. In
      the event of a "Change in Control," with respect to an outstanding Award
      subject to achievement of performance goals and conditions, such
      performance goals and conditions shall be deemed to be met or exceeded if
      and to the extent so provided by the Committee in the Award document
      governing such Award or other agreement with the Participant.

            (c)   Definition of "Change in Control." A "Change in Control" shall
      be deemed to have occurred if, after the Effective Date, there shall have
      occurred any of the following:

                  (i)   Any "person," as such term is used in Section 13(d) and
            14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or
            other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
            the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the
            shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as
            their ownership of stock of the Company), acquires voting securities
            of the Company and immediately thereafter is a "40% Beneficial
            Owner." For purposes of this provision, a "40% Beneficial Owner"
            shall mean a person who is the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
            Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
            securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined
            voting power of the Company's then-outstanding voting securities;
            provided, however, that the term "40% Beneficial Owner" shall not
            include any person who was a beneficial owner of outstanding voting
            securities of the Company at February 20, 1990, or any person or
            persons who was or becomes a fiduciary of any such person or persons
            who is, or in the aggregate, are a "40% Beneficial Owner" (an
            "Existing Shareholder"), including any group that may be formed
            which is comprised solely of Existing Shareholders, unless and until
            such time after February 20, 1990 as any such Existing Shareholder
            shall have become the beneficial owner (other than by means of a
            stock dividend, stock split, gift, inheritance or receipt or
            exercise of, or accrual of any right to exercise, a stock option
            granted by the Company or receipt or settlement of any other
            stock-related award granted by the Company) by purchase of any
            additional voting securities of the Company; and provided further,
            that the term "40% Beneficial Owner" shall not include any person
            who shall become the beneficial owner of 40% or more of the combined


                                      - 8 -



            voting power of the Company's then-outstanding voting securities
            solely as a result of an acquisition by the Company of its voting
            securities, until such time thereafter as such person shall become
            the beneficial owner (other than by means of a stock dividend or
            stock split) of any additional voting securities and becomes a 40%
            Beneficial Owner in accordance with this Section 8(c)(i);

                  (ii)  Individuals who on September 1, 2000 constitute the
            Board, and any new director (other than a director whose initial
            assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened
            election consent, including but not limited to a consent
            solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company)
            whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the
            Company's shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
            (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were
            directors on September 1, 2000 or whose election or nomination for
            election was previously so approved or recommended, cease for any
            reason to constitute at least a majority thereof;

                  (iii) There is consummated a merger, consolidation,
            recapitalization, or reorganization of the Company, or a reverse
            stock split of any class of voting securities of the Company, if,
            immediately following consummation of any of the foregoing, either
            (A) individuals who, immediately prior to such consummation,
            constitute the Board do not constitute at least a majority of the
            members of the board of directors of the Company or the surviving or
            parent entity, as the case may be, or (B) the voting securities of
            the Company outstanding immediately prior to such recommendation do
            not represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
            into voting securities of a surviving or parent entity) at least 60%
            or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
            securities of the Company or such surviving or parent entity; or

                  (iv)  The shareholders of the Company have approved a plan of
            complete liquidation of the Company or there is consummated an
            agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
            substantially all of the Company's assets (or any transaction have a
            similar effect).

            (d)   Definition of "Change in Control Price." The "Change in
      Control Price" means an amount in cash equal to the higher of (i) the
      amount of cash and fair market value of property that is the highest price
      per share paid (including extraordinary dividends) in any transaction
      triggering the Change in Control or any liquidation of shares following a
      sale of substantially all assets of the Company, or (ii) the highest Fair
      Market Value per share at any time during the 60-day period preceding and
      60-day period following the Change in Control.

      9.    ADDITIONAL AWARD FORFEITURE PROVISIONS.

            (a)   Forfeiture of Options and Other Awards and Gains Realized Upon
      Prior Option Exercises or Award Settlements. Unless otherwise determined
      by the Committee, each Award granted hereunder shall be subject to the
      following additional forfeiture conditions, to which the Participant, by
      accepting an Award hereunder, agrees. If any of the events specified in
      Section 9(b)(i), (ii), or (iii) occurs (a "Forfeiture Event"), all of the
      following forfeitures will result:

                  (i)   The unexercised portion of the Option, whether or not
            vested, and any other Award not then settled (except for an Award
            that has not been settled solely due to an elective deferral by the
            Participant and otherwise is not forfeitable in the event of any
            termination of service of the Participant) will be immediately
            forfeited and canceled upon the occurrence of the Forfeiture Event;
            and

                  (ii)  The Participant will be obligated to repay to the
            Company, in cash, within five business days after demand is made
            therefor by the Company, the total amount of Award Gain (as defined
            herein) realized by the Participant upon each exercise of an Option
            or settlement of an Award (regardless of any elective deferral) that
            occurred on or after (A) the date that is six months prior to the
            occurrence of the Forfeiture Event, if the Forfeiture Event occurred
            while the Participant was employed by the Company or a subsidiary or
            affiliate, or (B) the date that is six months prior to the


                                      - 9 -



            date the Participant's employment by the Company or a subsidiary or
            affiliate terminated, if the Forfeiture Event occurred after the
            Participant ceased to be so employed. For purposes of this Section,
            the term "Award Gain" shall mean (i), in respect of a given Option
            exercise, the product of (X) the Fair Market Value per share of
            Stock at the date of such exercise (without regard to any subsequent
            change in the market price of shares) minus the exercise price times
            (Y) the number of shares as to which the Option was exercised at
            that date, and (ii), in respect of any other settlement of an Award
            granted to the Participant, the Fair Market Value of the cash or
            Stock paid or payable to Participant (regardless of any elective
            deferral) less any cash or the Fair Market Value of any Stock or
            property (other than an Award or award which would have itself then
            been forfeitable hereunder and excluding any payment of tax
            withholding) paid by the Participant to the Company as a condition
            of or in connection such settlement.

            (b)   Events Triggering Forfeiture. The forfeitures specified in
      Section 9(a) will be triggered upon the occurrence of any one of the
      following Forfeiture Events at any time during the Participant's
      employment by the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate or during the
      one-year period following termination of such employment:

                  (i)   The Participant, acting alone or with others, directly
            or indirectly, prior to a Change in Control, (A) engages, either as
            employee, employer, consultant, advisor, or director, or as an
            owner, investor, partner, or shareholder unless the Participant's
            interest is insubstantial, in any business in an area or region in
            which the Company conducts business at the date the event occurs,
            which is directly in competition with a business then conducted by
            the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate; (B) induces any customer
            or supplier of the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate, or other
            company with which the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate has a
            business relationship, to curtail, cancel, not renew, or not
            continue his or her or its business with the Company or any
            subsidiary or affiliate; or (C) induces, or attempts to influence,
            any employee of or service provider to the Company or a subsidiary
            or affiliate to terminate such employment or service. The Committee
            shall, in its discretion, determine which lines of business the
            Company conducts on any particular date and which third parties may
            reasonably be deemed to be in competition with the Company. For
            purposes of this Section 9(b)(i), a Participant's interest as a
            shareholder is insubstantial if it represents beneficial ownership
            of less than five percent of the outstanding class of stock, and a
            Participant's interest as an owner, investor, or partner is
            insubstantial if it represents ownership, as determined by the
            Committee in its discretion, of less than five percent of the
            outstanding equity of the entity;

                  (ii)  The Participant discloses, uses, sells, or otherwise
            transfers, except in the course of employment with or other service
            to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, any confidential or
            proprietary information of the Company or any subsidiary or
            affiliate, including but not limited to information regarding the
            Company's current and potential customers, organization, employees,
            finances, and methods of operations and investments, so long as such
            information has not otherwise been disclosed to the public or is not
            otherwise in the public domain, except as required by law or
            pursuant to legal process, or the Participant makes statements or
            representations, or otherwise communicates, directly or indirectly,
            in writing, orally, or otherwise, or takes any other action which
            may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging to the Company
            or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective
            officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations,
            except as required by law or pursuant to legal process; or

                  (iii) The Participant fails to cooperate with the Company or
            any subsidiary or affiliate by making himself or herself available
            to testify on behalf of the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate
            in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
            administrative, or investigative, or otherwise fails to assist the
            Company or any subsidiary or affiliate in any such action, suit, or
            proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting with
            members of management of, other representatives of, or counsel to,
            the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, as reasonably
            requested.


                                     - 10 -



            (c)   Agreement Does Not Prohibit Competition or Other Participant
      Activities. Although the conditions set forth in this Section 9 shall be
      deemed to be incorporated into an Award, a Participant is not thereby
      prohibited from engaging in any activity, including but not limited to
      competition with the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Rather,
      the non-occurrence of the Forfeiture Events set forth in Section 9(b) is a
      condition to the Participant's right to realize and retain value from his
      or her compensatory Options and Awards, and the consequence under the Plan
      if the Participant engages in an activity giving rise to any such
      Forfeiture Event are the forfeitures specified herein. The Company and the
      Participant shall not be precluded by this provision or otherwise from
      entering into other agreements concerning the subject matter of Section
      9(a) and 9(b).

            (d)   Committee Discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion,
      waive in whole or in part the Company's right to forfeiture under this
      Section, but no such waiver shall be effective unless evidenced by a
      writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. In addition,
      the Committee may impose additional conditions on Awards, by inclusion of
      appropriate provisions in the document evidencing or governing any such
      Award.

      10.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

            (a)   Compliance with Legal and Other Requirements. The Company may,
      to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee, postpone the
      issuance or delivery of Stock or payment of other benefits under any Award
      until completion of such registration or qualification of such Stock or
      other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation,
      listing or other required action with respect to any stock exchange or
      automated quotation system upon which the Stock or other securities of the
      Company are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other obligation of
      the Company, as the Committee may consider appropriate, and may require
      any Participant to make such representations, furnish such information and
      comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider
      appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Stock or
      payment of other benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and
      regulations, listing requirements, or other obligations. The foregoing
      notwithstanding, in connection with a Change in Control, the Company shall
      take or cause to be taken no action, and shall undertake or permit to
      arise no legal or contractual obligation, that results or would result in
      any postponement of the issuance or delivery of Stock or payment of
      benefits under any Award or the imposition of any other conditions on such
      issuance, delivery or payment, to the extent that such postponement or
      other condition would represent a greater burden on a Participant than
      existed on the 90th day preceding the Change in Control.

            (b)   Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award or other
      right or interest of a Participant under the Plan shall be pledged,
      hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or
      liability of such Participant to any party (other than the Company or a
      subsidiary or affiliate thereof), or assigned or transferred by such
      Participant, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be
      exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant
      or his or her guardian or legal representative, except that (i) Awards and
      related rights shall be transferred to a Participant's Beneficiary or
      Beneficiaries upon the death of the Participant, and (ii) Awards and other
      rights may be transferred to one or more Beneficiaries during the lifetime
      of the Participant, and rights thereunder may be exercised by such
      transferees in accordance with the terms of such Award, but only if and to
      the extent such transfers are then permitted by the Committee, subject to
      any terms and conditions which the Committee may impose thereon (including
      limitations the Committee may deem appropriate in order that offers and
      sales under the Plan will meet applicable requirements of registration
      forms under the Securities Act of 1933 specified by the Securities and
      Exchange Commission). A Beneficiary 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 document applicable to such
      Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any
      additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the
      Committee.

            (c)   Adjustments. In the event that any large, special and
      non-recurring dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash
      or property other than Stock), recapitalization, forward or reverse


                                     - 11 -



      split, Stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
      combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or other
      similar corporate transaction or event affects the Stock such that an
      adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate 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
      be delivered in connection with Awards granted thereafter, including al
      applicable limitations specified in Section 4(a), (ii) the number and kind
      of shares of Stock subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding
      Awards, (iii) any fixed market price of Common Stock referred to in a
      performance condition or otherwise incorporated as a term of an Award, and
      (iv) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any
      Award or, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a
      payment of cash or property to the holder of an outstanding Option
      (subject to Section 10(j)). In addition, the Committee is authorized to
      make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included
      in, Awards (including Performance Awards and performance goals relating
      thereto) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including,
      without limitation, events described in the preceding sentence, as well as
      acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets) affecting the
      Company, any subsidiary or affiliate or other business unit, or the
      financial statements of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, or in
      response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting
      principles, tax rates and regulations or business conditions or in view of
      the Committee's assessment of the business strategy of the Company, any
      subsidiary or affiliate or business unit thereof, performance of
      comparable organizations, economic and business conditions, personal
      performance of a Participant, and any other circumstances deemed relevant.

            (d)   Tax Provisions.

                  (i)   Withholding. The Company and any subsidiary or affiliate
            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 or potentially payable 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 withholding obligations, either on a
            mandatory or elective basis in the discretion of the Committee.
            Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, only the minimum
            amount of Stock deliverable in connection with an Award necessary to
            satisfy statutory withholding requirements will be withheld.

                  (ii)  Required Consent to and Notification of Code Section
            83(b) Election. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to
            include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts
            specified in Code Section 83(b)) or under a similar provision of the
            laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States may be made unless
            expressly permitted by the terms of the Award document or by action
            of the Committee in writing prior to the making of such election. In
            any case in which a Participant is permitted to make such an
            election in connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify
            the Company of such election within ten days of filing notice of the
            election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental
            authority, in addition to any filing and notification required
            pursuant to regulations issued under Code Section 83(b) or other
            applicable provision.

            (e)   Changes to the Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate
      the Plan or the Committee's authority to grant Awards under the Plan
      without the consent of shareholders or Participants; provided, however,
      that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Board action
      may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under
      any outstanding Award. The Committee shall have no authority to waive or
      modify any other Award term after the Award has been granted to the extent
      that the waived or modified term was mandatory under the Plan.

            (f)   Right of Setoff. The Company or any subsidiary or affiliate
      may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, deduct from and set off
      against any amounts the Company or a subsidiary or affiliate may owe to
      the Participant from time to time, including amounts payable in connection
      with any Award, owed as


                                     - 12 -



      wages, fringe benefits, or other compensation owed to the Participant,
      such amounts as may be owed by the Participant to the Company, including
      but not limited to amounts owed under Section 9(a), although the
      Participant shall remain liable for any part of the Participant's payment
      obligation not satisfied through such deduction and setoff. By accepting
      any Award granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to any deduction or
      setoff under this Section 10(f).

            (g)   Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is
      intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
      compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant
      or obligation to deliver Stock pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in
      the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are
      greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided that the
      Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash,
      Stock, other Awards or other property, or make other arrangements to meet
      the Company's obligations under the Plan. Such trusts or other
      arrangements shall be consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan
      unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each
      affected Participant.

            (h)   Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan
      by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders of the Company for
      approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of
      the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive
      arrangements, apart from the Plan, as it may deem desirable, and such
      other arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific
      cases.

            (i)   Payments in the Event of Forfeitures; Fractional Shares.
      Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a forfeiture
      of an Award with respect to which a Participant paid cash consideration,
      the Participant shall be repaid the amount of such cash consideration. No
      fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the
      Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other
      Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such
      fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto
      shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

            (j)   Certain Limitations Relating to Accounting Treatment of
      Awards. Other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the Committee's
      authority under the Plan (including under Sections 7(c), 7(d), 10(c) and
      10(d)) is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that any Option or
      other Award of a type that the Committee has intended to be subject to
      fixed accounting with a measurement date at the date of grant or the date
      performance conditions are satisfied under APB 25 shall not become subject
      to "variable" accounting solely due to the existence of such authority,
      unless the Committee specifically determines that the Award shall remain
      outstanding despite such "variable" accounting. In addition, other
      provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, (i) if any right under this Plan
      would cause a transaction to be ineligible for pooling-of-interests
      accounting that would, but for the right hereunder, be eligible for such
      accounting treatment, such right shall be automatically adjusted so that
      pooling-of-interests accounting shall be available, including by
      substituting Stock or cash having a Fair Market Value equal to any cash or
      Stock otherwise payable in respect of any right to cash which would cause
      the transaction to be ineligible for pooling-of-interests accounting, and
      (ii) if any authority under Section 8(c) would cause a transaction to be
      ineligible for pooling-of-interests accounting that would, but for such
      authority, be eligible for such accounting treatment, such authority shall
      be limited to the extent necessary so that such transaction would be
      eligible for pooling-of-interests accounting.

            (k)   Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the
      Plan, any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award
      document shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
      New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and
      applicable provisions of federal law.

            (l)   Awards to Participants Outside the United States. The
      Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan made to or held
      by a Participant who is then resident or primarily employed outside of the
      United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or
      appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations,
      and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or
      primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award
      to


                                     - 13 -



      the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions
      applicable as a result of the Participant's residence or employment abroad
      shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is
      resident or primarily employed in the United States. An Award may be
      modified under this Section 10(l) in a manner that is inconsistent with
      the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not
      contravene any applicable law or regulation.

            (m)   Limitation on Rights Conferred under Plan. Neither the Plan
      nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as (i) giving any
      Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person
      or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or a subsidiary
      or affiliate, (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or
      a subsidiary or affiliate to terminate any Eligible Person's or
      Participant's employment or service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible
      Person or Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or
      to be treated uniformly with other Participants and employees, or (iv)
      conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the
      Company unless and until the Participant is duly issued or transferred
      shares of Stock in accordance with the terms of an Award or an Option is
      duly exercised. Except as expressly provided in the Plan and an Award
      document, neither the Plan nor any Award document shall confer on any
      person other than the Company and the Participant any rights or remedies
      thereunder.

            (n)   Severability; Entire Agreement. If any of the provisions of
      this Plan or any Award document is finally held to be invalid, illegal or
      unenforceable (whether in whole or in part), such provision shall be
      deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity,
      illegality or unenforceability, and the remaining provisions shall not be
      affected thereby; provided, that, if any of such provision is finally held
      to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable because it exceeds the maximum
      scope determined to be acceptable to permit such provision to be
      enforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to the minimum
      extent necessary to modify such scope in order to make such provision
      enforceable hereunder. The Plan and any Award documents contain the entire
      agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and
      supersede all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements,
      communications, representations and warranties between them, whether
      written or oral with respect to the subject matter thereof.

            (o)   Plan Effective Date and Termination. The Plan shall become
      effective at November 14, 2000. Unless earlier terminated by action of the
      Board of Directors, the Plan will remain in effect until such time as no
      Stock remains available for delivery under the Plan and the Company has no
      further rights or obligations under the Plan with respect to outstanding
      Awards under the Plan.
