as such individual remains in the employ of the Company or one or more of its
Parent or Subsidiary Corporations.

such action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of bad
faith.

     3.10 PLAN NOT EXCLUSIVE.  This Plan is not intended to be the exclusive
means by which the Company may issue options to acquire its Stock. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, other options or awards may be issued by the
Company other than pursuant to this Plan without stockholder approval.

     3.11 COMPANY RIGHTS. The grants of Options shall in no way affect the right
of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     3.12 PRIVILEGE OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.  An Optionholder shall not have any of
the rights of a stockholder with respect to Optioned Shares until such
individual shall have exercised the Option and paid the Exercise Price for the
Optioned Shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date of such exercise and full payment for
such Optioned Shares.

     3.13 ASSIGNMENT. Except as may be specifically allowed by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing an Option. No Option
granted under the Plan or any of the rights and privileges conferred thereby
shall be assignable or transferable by an Optionholder or grantee other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. Such Option shall be exercisable
during the Optionholder's or grantee's lifetime only by the Optionholder or
grantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock Option granted under
the Plan or any of the rights and privileges conferred thereby shall be
assignable or transferable by an Optionholder or grantee other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and such Incentive Stock Option shall be
exercisable during the Optionholder's or grantee's lifetime only by the
Optionholder or grantee. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors or assigns, and the
Optionholders, the legal representatives of their respective estates, their
respective heirs or legatees and their permitted assignees.

     3.14 SECURITIES RESTRICTIONS

     (a) LEGEND ON CERTIFICATES. All certificates representing shares of Stock
issued upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall be endorsed with a
legend reading as follows:

          THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN
          ISSUED TO THE REGISTERED OWNER IN RELIANCE UPON WRITTEN
          REPRESENTATIONS THAT THESE SHARES HAVE BEEN PURCHASED SOLELY FOR
          INVESTMENT. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED
          UNLESS IN THE OPINION OF THE COMPANY AND ITS LEGAL COUNSEL SUCH SALE,
          TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT WILL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE SECURITIES ACT
          OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

     (b) PRIVATE OFFERING FOR INVESTMENT ONLY. The Options are and shall be made
available only to a limited number of present and future employees who have
knowledge of the Company's financial condition, management and its affairs. The
Plan is not intended to provide additional capital for the Company, but to
encourage ownership of Stock among the Company's employees. By the act of
accepting an Option, each grantee agrees (i) that any shares of Stock acquired
pursuant to any Option will be solely acquired for investment and not with any
intention to resell or redistribute those shares, and (ii) such intention will
be confirmed by an appropriate certificate at the time the Stock is acquired if
requested by the Company. The neglect or failure to execute such a certificate,
however, shall not limit or negate the foregoing agreement.

     (c) REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If a Registration Statement covering a shares
of Stock issuable upon exercise of Options granted under the Plan is filed under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is declared effective by the U.S.
Securities Exchange Commission, the provisions of Sections 3.14(a) and (b) shall
terminate during the period of time that such Registration Statement, as
periodically amended, remains effective.

     (d) SECURITIES LAWS. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the
issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all
applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state
securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange on
which the Company's securities may then be listed.

     3.15 TAX WITHHOLDING

     (a) GENERAL. The Company's obligation to deliver Stock upon the exercise of
Options under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable
United States, Canadian, state, provincial, and local income tax withholding
requirements.

     (b) SHARES TO PAY FOR WITHHOLDING. The Plan Administrator may, in its
discretion and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.15(b) and
such supplemental rules as it may from time to time adopt, provide any or all
Optionholders with the right to use shares of Stock in satisfaction of all or
part of the United States, Canadian, state, provincial, and local income tax
liabilities ("Taxes") incurred by such Optionholders in connection with the
exercise of their Options. Such right may be provided to Optionholders in either
or both of the following formats:

          (i) STOCK WITHHOLDING. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion,
     provide the Optionholder with the election to have the Company withhold,
     from the Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of an Option, a portion
     of those shares of Stock with an aggregate fair market value equal to the
     percentage (not to exceed 100 percent) of the applicable Taxes designated
     by the Optionholder.

          (ii) STOCK DELIVERY. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion,
     provide the Optionholder with the election to deliver to the Company, at
     the time the Option is exercised, one or more shares of Stock previously
     acquired by such individual (other than pursuant to the transaction
     triggering Taxes) with an aggregate fair market value equal to the
     percentage (not to exceed 100 percent) of the Taxes incurred in connection
     with such Option exercise as designated by the Optionholder.
