only by the Optionee.
ARTICLE X
Adjustment for Recapitalization, Merger, Etc.
The aggregate and maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be
purchased or acquired pursuant to Options granted hereunder, the number of
shares of Common Stock to which each Option relates, the Exercise Price in
respect of such Option, and the maximum number of shares which may be granted to
each Eligible Employee during any calendar year shall be appropriately adjusted
for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
resulting from a stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of shares of
Common Stock or for other capital adjustments or payments of stock dividends or
stock distributions or other increases or decreases in the outstanding shares of
Common Stock effected without
4
<PAGE> 5
receipt of consideration in any form permitted under Delaware law. Any
adjustment shall be conclusively determined by the Committee.
Except as otherwise provided in the Optionee's Option Agreement:
(i) If the Company is the surviving corporation of any merger,
reorganization or other business combination with any person or entity (such
merger, reorganization or other business combination referred to as a "Merger
Event"), the Optionee shall be entitled to receive, with respect to Options,
substitute stock options to purchase shares of the surviving corporation on such
terms and conditions, both as to the number of shares and otherwise, which shall
substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any Option granted
hereunder, as of the date of the execution of the agreement evidencing the
Merger Event.
(ii) If the Company is not the surviving corporation in a Merger Event,
the Committee may at its election cause payment to be made to each Optionee, in
cash, an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value, on the date of the
Merger Event, of the Common Stock subject to such Optionee's Options (whether
vested or unvested, as determined by the Committee) over the Exercise Price of
such Options on such date, and all such Options shall be cancelled upon receipt
by the Optionee of such cash payment, without the need for obtaining the consent
of the Optionee. If, upon such a Merger Event, the Committee declines to make
such cash payment, the surviving or resulting corporation, as the case may be,
or any parent or acquiring corporation thereof, shall, as a condition to the
occurrence of the Merger Event, be obligated by the Company to grant substitute
options to purchase its shares on such terms and conditions, both as to the
number of shares and otherwise, which shall substantially preserve (in the
discretion of the Committee) the value, rights and benefits of any Option
granted hereunder, as of the date of the execution of the agreement evidencing
the Merger Event.
Upon receipt by the Optionee of any substituted options in the surviving
corporation in any Merger Event, all Options for which substituted options were
received shall be cancelled.
The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing
provisions, including, without limitation, the issuance of any substitute
Options and any determination of the fair market value of the Common Stock,
shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in its sole discretion. Any
such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which
might otherwise become subject to an Option.

ARTICLE XI
Rights as a Stockholder
An Optionee or a transferee of an Option shall have no rights as a stockholder
with respect to any shares covered by his Option until he shall have become the
holder of record of such shares, and he shall not be entitled to any dividends
or distributions or other rights in respect of such shares for which the record
date is prior to the date on which he shall have become the holder of record
thereof.
ARTICLE XII
Employment Rights
Nothing in the Plan or in any Option Agreement entered into hereunder shall
confer on any Optionee who is an employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to terminate the
Optionee's employment at any time.
ARTICLE XIII
Transfer Restrictions
Appropriate legends shall be placed on the stock certificates evidencing shares
issued upon exercise of Options to reflect any relevant transfer restrictions.
ARTICLE XIV
Amendment or Discontinuance of Plan
The Board may from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
amend, suspend, or discontinue the Plan; provided, however, that the Board may
not take any action which would have a material adverse effect on outstanding
Options or any unexercised rights under outstanding Options without the consent
of the Optionee whose options would be adversely affected thereby.
ARTICLE XV
Cancellation of Options
The Committee, in its discretion, may, with the express written consent of the
Optionee to be affected, cancel any Option held by such consenting Optionee
hereunder.

ARTICLE XVI
Miscellaneous
(a) The Company may, in its discretion, require that an Optionee pay to
the Company, at the time of exercise, such amount as the Company deems necessary
under law to satisfy its obligations to withhold Federal, state, or local income
or other taxes incurred by reason of the exercise or the transfer of shares
thereupon.
(b) Anything in the plan or any option agreement entered into pursuant
to the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at any time specified herein or
therein for the making of any issue of shares of Common Stock, any law,
regulation or requirement of any governmental authority having jurisdiction in
the premises shall require either the Company or the Optionee (or the Optionee's
personal legal representative or transferee) to take any action in connection
with any such shares to be issued, the issue of such shares shall be deferred
until such action shall have been taken, provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to take such action.
(c) The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the principles of conflicts
of law thereof.
(d) No provision of the Plan shall require the Company, for the purpose
of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any
assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise
to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts,
books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately
maintained or administered fund for such purposes.
(e) Except as otherwise specifically provided in the relevant plan
document, no payment under the Plan or other amount required to be reported as
income for Federal income tax purposes shall be taken into account in
determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group
insurance or other benefit plan of the Company.
(f) The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the
Company. The proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of any Options
pursuant to the Plan will be used for general corporate purposes.
(g) Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer
to both men and women.
(h) The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for
convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the
Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

ARTICLE XVII
Special Provisions for ISOs
(a) ISOs must be granted within ten years from the date the Plan is
adopted, or the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company,
whichever is earlier.
(b) ISOs may not be exercised after the expiration of ten years from
the date such ISOs are granted.
(c) The Exercise Price of ISOs may not be less than the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock at the time such ISOs are granted, as
determined by the Committee. In such case, fair market value shall be determined
in a manner consistent with the rules and regulations under Section 422 of the
Code.
(d) ISOs may not be granted to a person who owns stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company or any "subsidiary corporation" of the Company within the meaning of
Section 424 (f) of the Code.
(e) To the extent the aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock
with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee
during a calendar year (under all plans of the Company and all "subsidiary
corporations" of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code)
exceeds $100,000, such ISOs shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the fair market value of the Common Stock
shall be determined by the Committee at the time the ISO covering such stock is
granted.
(f) No ISOs may be granted under the Plan unless the Plan has been
approved by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months before or after the
date of the Plan's adoption by the Board.
