                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                        



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
have been prepared by Mastech Corporation (the "Company") in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for the interim financial information
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998 should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. Accordingly,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of
a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

The use of generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  INVESTMENTS

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". The Company has determined that all of its
investments are to be classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair
value.

3.    STOCK SPLIT

On March 17, 1998,  the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one
stock split that was effected in the form of a stock dividend paid on April 10,
1998 to shareholders of record on March 27, 1998. All share and per share
amounts included in the Company's consolidated financial statements have been
retroactively restated to reflect the split for all periods presented.

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"), which the Company adopted as of January 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130
establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components. SFAS No. 130 requires companies to report all changes in equity
during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and
distribution to owners, in a financial statement or footnote disclosure for the
period in which they are recognized. The Company has chosen to disclose
comprehensive income, which encompasses net income, foreign currency translation
adjustments and net unrealized gain (loss) on investments, in the following
table.

</TABLE>

The adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no impact on the Company's net income or
shareholders' equity.

5.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131), which requires the use of
the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach
model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the
company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable
segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure,
management structure or any other manner in which management segregates a
company. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements issued for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 131 as a part
of its December 31, 1998 year-end financial statements.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133), which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No.
133 is effective for periods after June 15, 1999. Management does not anticipate
that the adoption of this statement will have a significant effect on the
Company's financial position.

6.   ACQUISITIONS

QUANTUM

On June 1, 1998, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Quantum Information Resources Limited, a Canadian corporation
("Quantum") pursuant to a business combination the terms of which were contained
in that certain Combination and Exchange Agreement dated June 1, 1998 (the
"Exchange Agreement"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the shareholders of
Quantum received 1,623,000 exchangeable non-voting shares of Quantum which are
convertible into the same number of shares of the Company's common stock (the
"Exchangeable Shares") and PNC Bank, National Association received 1 share of
Series A Preferred Stock, as trustee for  the shareholders of Quantum, pursuant
to which such shareholders were granted the right to vote the Company common
stock underlying the Exchangeable Shares. Based on representations made by the
Quantum shareholders in the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued these
securities pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Quantum provides information technology services primarily in Canada and parts
of the United States. The business combination was accounted for as a pooling of
interests and, accordingly, the Company's consolidated financial statements have
been restated to include results for Quantum for all periods presented.

MC COMPUTER SERVICES

On July 1, 1998 the Company acquired privately-held MC Computer Services Pty
Limited, ("MCCS") a Canberra, Australia-based information technology services
provider. MCCS provides a wide range of high-level information technology
services such as applications development, consultant services, systems analysis
and design, and project management. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase and management expects it to be accretive to future earnings. Operating
results have been included in the Company's consolidated  financial statements
since the date of acquisition, but pro forma  information has not been presented
because it is immaterial.

7.  ACQUISITION RELATED EXPENSES

In connection with the acquisition of Quantum, $3.2 million or $0.06 per share
of acquisition-related costs and expenses were incurred and have been charged to
expense in the second quarter of 1998.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 28, 1998 the Company announced the acquisition of International MIS,
Inc. ("IMIS"), a business and information technology consulting firm based in
San Francisco, CA. IMIS provides the financial industry with high-level project
management and business analysis consulting services. The acquisition will be
accounted for as a purchase and management expects it to be accretive to future
earnings.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of Mastech Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Mastech
Corporation (a Pennsylvania Corporation)  and subsidiaries as of September 30,
1998, and the related consolidated statements of income and shareholders' equity
for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, referred to
above, for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. As
used herein, "Mastech" or the "Company" shall mean Mastech Corporation and each
of its consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

Mastech Corporation was incorporated in Pennsylvania on November 12, 1996.
Mastech Systems Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation through which the
business of the Company has been conducted since its inception in July 1986, is
an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Mastech's revenues are derived from fees paid by clients for professional
services. Historically, a substantial majority of the Company's projects have
been client-managed. On client-managed projects, Mastech provides professional
services as a member of the project team on a time-and-materials basis. The
Company recognizes revenues on time-and-materials projects as the services are
performed. On Mastech-managed projects, Mastech assumes responsibility for
project management and bills the client on a time-and-materials or fixed-price
basis. Revenues on fixed-price contracts are recognized by the percentage of
completion method. Revenues from international operations do not include
revenues generated through offshore software development centers on U.S. client
engagements.

Mastech's most significant cost is its personnel expense, which consists
primarily of salaries and benefits of the Company's billable personnel. The
number of IT professionals assigned to projects may vary depending on the size
and duration of each engagement. Moreover, project terminations, completions and
scheduling delays may result in periods when personnel are not assigned to
active projects. Mastech manages its personnel costs by closely monitoring
client needs and basing personnel increases on specific project engagements.
While the number of IT professionals may be adjusted to reflect active projects,
the Company must maintain a sufficient number of professionals to respond to
demand for the Company's services on both existing projects and new engagements.

Mastech sells its services to large and medium-sized organizations. The
Company's sales force is organized to meet the needs of the marketplace through
four primary divisions: (i) the U.S. Client Services Division; (ii) the
Solutions Division; (iii) the Enterprise Package Solutions Division; and (iv)
the International Division.

The U.S. Client Services Division includes six geographic regions, each of which
is directed by a Regional Director. Each region includes multiple new business
development managers. These individuals use a proprietary database of several
thousand prospects to telemarket Mastech's services nationally. The Company
subsequently sends interested prospective clients a written proposal providing
information about the Company, its approach and methodology, schedules, team
members, pricing and terms.

The U.S. Client Services Division also focuses on developing national and global
relationships with major systems integrators such as EDS, IBM, KPMG Peat
Marwick, Ernst & Young and Oracle. Mastech assists these integrators in meeting
their customers' needs by providing specialized technical expertise and
complementary capabilities such as offshore development.

The Solutions Division is responsible for securing and managing Mastech-managed
engagements. This division has a dedicated sales and marketing team responsible
for generating and qualifying leads and developing detailed project estimates
and proposals. This team sells directly to large and medium-sized organizations
and also partners with large systems integrators.

The Enterprise Package Solutions Division manages engagements and provides IT
professionals trained in ERP implementation services. This division works
directly with end-user clients and also as partners with both the ERP software
vendors and systems integrators on teamed implementation efforts.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
The International Division operates through offices in ten different countries.
Each office is supervised by a Country Manager and supported by dedicated sales
personnel that sell directly to new clients using an approach similar to the
Company's U.S. sales approach. Additionally, these offices focus on leveraging
Mastech's existing relationships with its U.S.-based multinational clients.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
COMPARED TO  THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Revenues.   The Company's revenues increased 61%, or $39.2 million to $103.4
million for the third quarter of 1998 from $64.2 million for the third quarter
of 1997. Of this 61% growth in revenues, U.S. Client Services Division, 
Enterprise Package Solutions Division, and International Division contributed
24%, 19% and 18%, respectively. The increases in Enterprise Package Solutions
and U.S. Client Services Divisions can be attributed to additional services
provided to existing clients and continued market penetration. The increase in
the International Division is primarily the result of increased market
penetration primarily in Europe and Australia.


Gross Profit.  Gross profit consists of revenues less cost of revenues. Cost of
revenues consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits for billable IT
professionals and the associated travel and relocation costs of these
professionals, as well as the cost of the independent contractors used by the
Company. Gross profit increased 75.6% to $34.6 million for the third quarter of
1998 from $19.7 million for the third quarter of 1997. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues for the current quarter of 33.5% increased when compared
with 30.7% for the third quarter in 1997. The primary reasons for the increase
in gross profits as a percentage of revenues were higher margins in the
Enterprise Package Solutions Division and U.S. Client Services Division.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of costs associated with the Company's sales and
marketing efforts, executive management, finance and human resource functions,
facilities and telecommunication costs and other general overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 62%, or $7.5 million to
$19.7 million in the third quarter of 1998 from $12.1 million in the third
quarter of 1997. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
reflects the Company's continued investment in infrastructure and in the
initiatives required to implement the Company's marketing strategies. These
costs include the development of additional service offerings, the expansion of
its global recruiting capabilities, the opening of additional international
offices, the establishment of training centers and the continued expansion of
its offshore software development centers.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net.  Other income was $735,000 for the
third quarter of 1998 compared to $114,000 for the third quarter of 1997. This
increase in other income is the result of increased interest income from the
investment of the net proceeds from the Company's secondary offering of common
stock completed in December 1997.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Revenues.   The Company's revenues increased 65%, or $109.1 million to $277.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from $168.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this 65% growth in revenues, U.S. 
Client Services Division, Enterprise Package Solutions Division and 
International Division contributed 20%, 18% and 17%, respectively. The increases
in Enterprise Package Solutions and U.S. Client Services Divisions can be 
attributed to additional services provided to existing clients and continued 
market penetration. The increase in the International Division is primarily the
result of increased market penetration primarily in Europe and Australia.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit consists of revenues less cost of revenues. Cost of
revenues consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits for billable IT
professionals and the associated travel and relocation costs of these
professionals, as well as the cost of the independent contractors used by the
Company. Gross profit increased 85% to $91.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared with $49.6 million for the same period in 1997.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the current nine-month period of
33% increased when compared with 29.4% for the same period in 1997.

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
The primary reasons for the increase in gross profits as a percentage of
revenues were higher margins in the Enterprise Package Solutions Division, U.S.
Client Services Division and Solutions Division.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist of costs associated with the Company's sales and
marketing efforts, executive management, finance and human resource functions,
facilities and telecommunication costs and other general overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 62.6%, or $20.4 million
to $52.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 from $32.6
million for the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses reflects the Company's continued investment in
infrastructure and in the initiatives required to implement the Company's
marketing strategies. These costs include the development of additional service
offerings, the expansion of its global recruiting capabilities, the opening of
additional international offices, the establishment of training centers and the
continued expansion of its offshore software development centers.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net.  Other income was $2.1 million for the
year to date period ended September 30, 1998 compared to $881,000 for the same
period in 1997. This increase in other income is the result of increased
interest income from the investment of the net proceeds from the Company's
secondary offering of common stock completed in December 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In December 1997, the Company completed  the registration of 3,000,000 pre-split
shares of the Company's common stock for sale to the public in an underwritten
offering. The net proceeds to the Company of the offering were $51.3 million
after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid
by the Company. In addition, the net proceeds to the Company, generated from its
initial public offering in December 1996, were approximately $45.6 million,
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses
paid by the Company. The proceeds from both offerings have been used primarily
for working capital and other general purposes. The remaining proceeds have been
temporarily invested in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing
securities.

The Company has and will use these proceeds to develop new services, to expand
existing operations, including offshore software development operations, for
possible acquisitions of related businesses, and for general corporate purposes,
including working capital. Management currently anticipates that the proceeds
from these offerings together with the existing sources of liquidity and cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its cash needs at least
through the next twelve months.

Historically, the Company has financed its working capital requirements through
internally generated funds and with the proceeds from the aforementioned
offerings. The Company's financial statements reflect cash flow provided by
operations of approximately $15.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1998, and cash flow used by operations of $5.7 million for the same period
in 1997.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company recorded its net
purchase of investments of $58.5 million. These investments are classified as
available-for-sale and recorded at fair value.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 were
approximately $7.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. During the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company spent approximately $3.5
million and $2.5 million, respectively on computer and related equipment to
support its technical, consulting and administrative functions. The Company also
spent approximately $3.1 million and $1.3 million during the same periods in
1998 and 1997, respectively, in connection with the buildout and other
development of the infrastructure for its offshore software development and
training facilities in India. During the next twelve months, the Company expects
to incur approximately $2.0 million in remaining costs to license and implement
its new management information system. A portion of this cost will be expensed.

Effective May 30, 1997, the Company replaced an existing revolving credit
facility with a new $25.0 million revolving credit facility with PNC Bank,
National Association (the "Facility"). The Facility bears interest at a rate
equal to LIBOR

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
plus 1.0% or prime at the Company's option and borrowings are unsecured. The
Facility contains certain restrictive covenants and financial ratio requirements
which would limit distributions to shareholders and additional borrowings. There
were no borrowings outstanding against this facility as of September 30, 1998.

During the first quarter of 1998, Mascot Systems had aggregate borrowings of
approximately $1.7 million outstanding under revolving credit agreements with
ICICI Banking Corporation Limited and IndusInd Bank Limited, both of India.
Interest rates charged on these borrowings range from 18.75% to 19.25% per year.
These borrowings were repaid by the Company in May 1998.

The Company does not believe that inflation had a significant impact on the
Company's results of operations for the periods presented. On an ongoing basis,
the Company attempts to minimize any effects of inflation on its operating
results by controlling operating costs and, whenever possible, seeking to insure
that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

The Company invoices its clients in the local currency of the country in which
the client is located. Gains and losses as a result of fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates have not had a significant impact on the results of
operations.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 ("Y2K") problem refers to problems which may occur because some
computer systems currently record years in a two digit format. These computer
systems may have difficulty recognizing or processing date information after
December 31, 1999. The Y2K problem may also occur with embedded chips. The
Company has been working to evaluate the potential effect of the Y2K problem on
the Company's operations.

Internal Systems

The Company developed a plan to evaluate its key internal computer systems. The
plan consisted of the following four phases: Inventory; Evaluation/Assessment of
Y2K Risk; Remediation and Testing. The Company has completed all phases of
evaluation for the internal financial and operational systems located at the
corporate headquarters of the Company. Based upon written documentation and
information available on vendor websites, certain testing procedures for
business critical hardware and software were developed and implemented by the
Company. An independent third party reviewed both vendor information, testing
results, and conducted other tests to validate work performed. As a result of
this, the Company does not believe that the internal computer systems at its
corporate headquarters will experience significant Y2K problems.

The Company is in various phases of evaluation with respect to other locations
of the Company in the United States and foreign sites. The Company expects that
it will complete the evaluation of all of its locations by January 31, 1999.

Cost of Year 2000 Compliance Efforts

The Company does not expect to incur substantial costs with respect to its Y2K
compliance efforts and the Company has not deferred other information technology
projects as a result of the Y2K problem. To date, the Company has incurred
expenses totaling approximately $69,000 and anticipates that its total expenses
will not exceed $175,000. These figures are primarily reflective of the costs
associated with the use of third parties to review and validate work performed
and the costs assessing Y2K problems relating to or arising with respect to
third parties. The cost estimates do not include the cost of internal efforts by
Company personnel. The Company has not separately accounted for these internal
costs.

Third Party Relationships

The Company has contacted its key vendors regarding their Y2K compliance
efforts. Although the Company has received some information from its vendors
regarding their Y2K compliance efforts, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not experience disruptions in its ability to conduct its business
because of Y2K problems experienced by the Company's vendors.

In addition, the Company has contacted its key customers regarding their Y2K 
compliance efforts. Although the Company has received some information from its 
customers regarding their Y2K compliance efforts, there can be no assurance that
such customers will not experience disruptions in their business which would 
result in material adverse affects to the Company. One example of a worst case 
scenario would be a failure in the accounting

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
systems of a significant number of the Company's key clients due to the Y2K
problem that resulted in a delay in the payment of invoices issued by the
Company for services and expenses.

Potential Liability to Third Parties

The Company has participated in Y2K remediation projects for some of its
customers. Although the Company has no reason to believe that any such work will
result in litigation against the Company, it is possible that the Company could
be materially adversely affected by litigation in connection with the Y2K
remediation services provided by the Company.

The Company's policy has been to attempt to include provisions in client
contracts that, among other things, disclaim implied warranties, limit the
duration of express warranties, limit the Company's liability to the amount of
fees paid by the client to the Company in connection with the project, and
disclaim any liability arising from third-party software that is implemented,
customized or installed by the Company. The Company also maintains insurance to
protect against potential liability in connection with Y2K remediation services
provided by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain the desired contractual protections in agreements, or that any such
contractual provisions will prevent clients from asserting claims against the
Company with respect to the Y2K issue. There also can be no assurance that the
contractual protections, if any, obtained by the Company or the insurance
coverage will operate to protect the Company from, or adequately limit the
amount of, any liability arising from claims asserted against the Company.

Contingency Plan

The Company is developing a contingency plan to address various situations which
may result if the Company experiences Y2K problems. The plan will include
identification of major systems, dependencies on third parties and resources and
strategies necessary to restore operations or work around failures. It is
expected that the contingency plan will be completed by April 30, 1999. There
can be no assurance that the contingency plan developed by the Company will
adequately protect the Company from internal Y2K problems or prevent service
interruption or failures experienced by customers and suppliers from having a
material adverse effect on the Company.

Demand for Year 2000 Services

Many of the Company's clients need to repair or replace their legacy systems
because of Y2K issues. The Company believes this is favorably impacting the
demand for its services and products. The Company provides certain direct Y2K
services, the market for which the Company expects to diminish over time. The
Company also believes that as companies focus on Y2K issues, other less critical
projects may not be initiated or may be suspended. Because the Company provides
a broad range of information  technology services, the Company does not expect a
decrease in the overall demand for its services as the Y2K problem is addressed.
However, given the lack of precedent for an issue of this nature, the Company's
ability to accurately forecast the impact of the Y2K issue on its future
financial performance is limited.




CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS
OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

The statements contained in the section captioned Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not
historical are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent the
Company's present expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company
cautions that such statements are qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements including statements pertaining to future uses of the IPO proceeds,
the financing of the Company's working capital requirements, hedging of any
market risk sensitive instruments, the accretive effect on earnings of
acquisitions and the impact of the Year 2000 issue. Results actually achieved
thus may differ materially from expected results included in these statements.

In order to meet client demand for the Company's services, the Company expects
to continue to increase its professional staff and may open additional sales and
operations offices in North America and internationally. Although the Company's
plans to hire personnel and to possibly open additional offices are in response
to increased demand for the Company's services, a portion of these expenses
will be incurred in anticipation of increased demand. Operating results and
liquidity may be adversely affected if market demand and revenues do not
increase as anticipated. As the Company expands its international operations, a
number of factors, including market acceptance of the Company's services,
significant fluctuations in currency exchange rates, and changes in general
economic, political, and regulatory conditions, could adversely affect future
results and liquidity.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
         ABOUT MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company currently does not invest excess funds in derivative financial
instruments or other market rate sensitive instruments for the purpose of
managing its foreign currency exchange rate risk.

sale of the 3,400,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock offered by the Company
(after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses paid
by the Company) were approximately $45.6 million. The Company submitted its
initial Form SR for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March

the Company's registration statement for its initial public offering) through
March 16, 1997. The following table reflects, as of September 30, 1998, and for
each of the previous quarterly periods an estimate of the amount of net offering

"Exchange Agreement"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement the shareholders of
Quantum received 1,623,000 exchangeable non-voting shares of Quantum which are
convertible into the same number of shares of Mastech common stock (the
"Exchangeable Shares") and PNC Bank, National Association received 1 share of
Series A Preferred Stock, as trustee for  the shareholders of Quantum, whereby
such shareholders were granted the right to vote the Company common stock
underlying the Exchangeable Shares. Based on representations made by the Quantum
shareholders in the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued the Exchangeable

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION


Government Regulation of Immigration

The Company recruits its IT professionals on a global basis and, therefore, must
comply with the immigration laws in the countries in which it operates,
particularly the U.S. Over 90% of Mastech's IT professionals are citizens of
other countries,

                                       17

with most of those in the U.S. working under H-1B temporary visas. On October
22, 1998, the "American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act" was
signed into law. The H-1B annual quota for fiscal year 1999 was increased from
65,000 to 115,000. The quota for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 will be 115,000 and
107,500 respectively. If the Company is unable to obtain H-1B visas for its
employees in sufficient quantities or at a sufficient rate for a significant
period of time, the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition could be adversely affected.

Subsidiaries upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely
depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary
interest in the Company.  It is anticipated that providing such persons with a
direct stake in the Company's welfare will assure a closer identification of
their interests with those of the Company, thereby stimulating their efforts on
the Company's behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.

The determination of the Plan Administrator on any such matters shall be
conclusive.

     Section 3. Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Plan Administrator,
in its discretion, may delegate to the Co-Chairmen of the Company all or part of
the Plan Administrator's authority and duties with respect to granting Awards to
individuals who are not subject to the reporting provisions of Section 16 of the
Act or "covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The
Plan Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of such a delegation at any
time, but such revocation shall not invalidate prior actions of the Co-Chairmen
that were consistent with the terms of the Plan.

     Section 4.  Eligibility.  Directors, officers, employees and consultants of
the Company or its Subsidiaries who, in the opinion of the Plan Administrator,
are mainly responsible for the continued growth and development and future
financial success of the business shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
In addition, Independent Directors are eligible to receive an automatic grant of
Stock Options pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

     Section 5. Shares Subject to the Plan. The number of shares of Stock which
may be issued pursuant to the Plan shall be 10% of the total of (i) the number
of shares outstanding on each December 31, beginning on December 31, 1998, or
(ii) the largest number of shares outstanding on any previous December 31;
provided, however, that the foregoing formula shall never result in a decrease
- --------
in the maximum number of shares available under this Plan.  For purposes of the
foregoing limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards which are
forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company, satisfied without the issuance
of Stock or

                                      23

otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the number
of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, on and after the date that the Plan is subject to Section 162(m) of
the Code, Stock Options with respect to no more than 400,000 shares of Stock may
be granted to any one individual participant during any one calendar year
period. To the extent that an SAR is granted in conjunction with an Option, the
shares covered by such SAR and Option shall be counted only once. Common Stock
to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares or
shares held in treasury by the Company.

     Section 6. Stock Options. Options granted pursuant to the Plan may be
either Options which are Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options.
Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be granted
separately hereunder. The Plan Administrator, shall determine whether and to
what extent Options shall be granted under the Plan and whether such Options
granted shall be Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options;
provide, however, that: (a) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a "subsidiary corporation"
within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code; and (b) No Incentive Stock
Option may be granted following the tenth anniversary of the effective date of
the Plan. The provisions of the Plan and any stock Option agreement pursuant to
which Incentive Stock Options shall be issued shall be construed in a manner
consistent with Section 422 of the Code (or any successor provision) and rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder.

     Section 7. Stock Appreciation Rights. The Plan Administrator may, from time
to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan, grant SARs to eligible
participants. Such SARs may be granted (i) alone, (ii) simultaneously with the
grant of an Option (either an Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Stock
Option) and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto or (iii)
subsequent to the grant of a Non-Qualified Stock Option and in conjunction
therewith or in the alternative thereto.

            (a)  An SAR shall entitle the holder upon exercise thereof to
                 receive from the Company, upon a written request filed with the
                 Secretary of the Company at its principal offices (the
                 "Request"), (i) a number of shares of Stock (with or without
                 restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and
                 transferability, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its
                 sole discretion), (ii) an amount of cash, or (iii) any
                 combination of shares of Stock and cash, as specified in the
                 Request (but subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator
                 in its sole discretion, at any time up to and including the
                 time of payment, as to the making of any cash payment), having
                 an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the product of (i) the
                 excess of the Fair Market Value, on the day of such Request, of
                 one share of Stock over the exercise price per share specified
                 in such SAR or its related Option, multiplied by (ii) the
                 number of shares of Stock for which such SAR shall be
                 exercised.


                                      24

            (b)  The exercise price of an SAR granted alone shall be determined
                 by the Plan Administrator, but may not be less than the Fair
                 Market Value of the underlying Stock on the date of grant. An
                 SAR granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of
                 an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative
                 thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related
                 Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and
                 conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only
                 to the same extent as the related Option; provided, however,
                                                           --------  -------
                 that an SAR, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the
                 Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the SAR and related
                 Option exceeds the exercise price thereof.

            (c)  Upon exercise of an SAR granted simultaneously with or
                 subsequent to an Option and in the alternative thereto, the
                 number of shares of Stock for which the related Option shall be
                 exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares of Stock
                 for which the SAR shall have been exercised. The number of
                 shares of Stock for which an SAR shall be exercisable shall be
                 reduced upon any exercise of a related Option by the number of
                 shares of Stock for which such Option shall have been
                 exercised.

            (d)  Any SAR shall be exercisable upon such additional terms and
                 conditions as may be prescribed by the Plan Administrator.

     Section 8. Terms of Options and SARs. Each Option or SAR granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by an agreement between the Company and the person to
whom such Option or SAR is granted and shall be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

            (a)  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of this Plan,
                 the price at which each share covered by an Option may be
                 purchased shall be determined in each case by the Plan
                 Administrator; provided, however, that such price shall not, in
                 the case of an Incentive Stock Option, be less than the Fair
                 Market Value of the underlying Stock at the time the Option is
                 granted. If an optionee owns (or is deemed to own under
                 applicable provisions of the Code and rules and regulations
                 promulgated thereunder) more than ten percent (10%) of the
                 combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the
                 Company and an Option granted to such optionee is intended to
                 qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option price shall be
                 no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
                 covered by the Option on the date the Option is granted.

            (b)  The aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Stock with respect
                 to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by the
                 optionee in any calendar year (under all plans of the Company)
                 shall not exceed the limitations, if any, imposed by Section
                 422(d) of the Code (or any successor provision). If any Option
                 designated as an Incentive Stock Option, either alone or in
                 conjunction with any other Option or Options,


                                      25
<PAGE>
 
                 exceeds the foregoing limitation, the portion of such Option in
                 excess of such limitation shall automatically be reclassified
                 (in whole share increments and without fractional share
                 portions) as a Non-Qualified Stock Option, with later granted
                 Options being so reclassified first.

            (c)  Neither an Option nor an SAR shall be transferable by the
                 participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
                 and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order.
                 After the death of the participant, the Option or SAR may be
                 transferred to the Company upon such terms and conditions, if
                 any, as the Plan Administrator and the personal representative
                 or other person entitled to exercise the Option or SAR may
                 agree within the period specified in subsection 8(d)(iii)
                 hereof.

            (d)  An Option or SAR may be exercised in whole at any time, or in
                 part from time to time, within such period or periods (not to
                 exceed ten years from the granting of the Option in the case of
                 an Incentive Stock Option) as may be determined by the Plan
                 Administrator and set forth in the agreement (such period or
                 periods being hereinafter referred to as the "Option Period"),
                 provided that, unless the agreement provides otherwise:

                 (i)  If a participant who is an employee of the Company shall
                      cease to be employed by the Company, all Options and SARs
                      to which the employee is then entitled to exercise may be
                      exercised only within three months after the termination
                      of employment and within the Option Period or, if such
                      termination was due to disability or retirement (as
                      hereinafter defined), within one year after termination of
                      employment and within the Option Period. Notwithstanding
                      the foregoing: (a) in the event that any termination of
                      employment shall be for Cause (as defined herein) or the
                      participant becomes an officer or director of, a
                      consultant to or employed by a Competing Business (as
                      defined herein), during the Option Period, then any and
                      all Options and SARs held by such participant shall
                      forthwith terminate; and (b) the Plan Administrator may,
                      in its sole discretion, extend the Option Period of any
                      Option or SAR for up to three years from the date of
                      termination of employment regardless of the original
                      Option Period. For purposes of the Plan, retirement shall
                      mean the termination of employment with the Company, other
                      than for Cause, at any time after the age 65.

                      For purposes of this Plan, the term "Cause" shall mean (a)
                      with respect to an individual who is party to a written
                      agreement with the Company which contains a definition of
                      "cause" or "for cause" or words of similar import for
                      purposes of termination of employment thereunder by the
                      Company, "cause" or "for cause" as

                                      26
<PAGE>
 
                      defined in such agreement; (b) in all other cases (I) the
                      willful commission by an employee of a criminal or other
                      act that causes substantial economic damage to the Company
                      or substantial injury to the business reputation of the
                      Company; (II) the commission of an act of fraud in the
                      performance of such person's duties to or on behalf of the
                      Company; or (III) the continuing willful failure of a
                      person to perform the duties of such person to the Company
                      (other than a failure to perform duties resulting from
                      such person's incapacity due to illness) after written
                      notice thereof (specifying the particulars thereof in
                      reasonable detail) and a reasonable opportunity to cure
                      such failure are given to the person by the Board of
                      Directors of the Company or the Plan Administrator. For
                      purposes of the Plan, no act, or failure to act, on the
                      part of any person shall be considered "willful" unless
                      done or omitted to be done by the person other than in
                      good faith and without reasonable belief that the person's
                      action or omission was in the best interest of the
                      Company.

                      For purposes of this Plan, the term "Competing Business"
                      shall mean: any person, corporation or other entity
                      engaged in the business of (a) providing information
                      technology services or (b) selling or attempting to sell
                      any product or service which is the same as or similar to
                      products or services sold by the Company within the last
                      year prior to termination of such person's employment,
                      consultant relationship or directorship, as the case may
                      be, hereunder.

                 (ii) If a participant who is a director of the Company shall
                      cease to serve as a director of the Company, any Options
                      or SARs then exercisable by such director may be exercised
                      only within three months after the cessation of service
                      and within the Option Period unless such cessation was due
                      to disability, in which case such optionee may exercise
                      such Option or SAR within one year after cessation of
                      service and within the Option Period. Notwithstanding the
                      foregoing: (a) if any cessation of service as a director
                      was the result of removal for Cause or the participant
                      becomes an officer or director of, a consultant to or
                      employed by a Competing Business during the Option Period,
                      any Options and SARs held by such participant shall
                      forthwith terminate; and (b) the Plan Administrator may in
                      its sole discretion extend the Option Period of any Option
                      or SAR for up to three years from the date of cessation of
                      service regardless of the original Option Period;

               (iii)  If the participant shall die during the Option Period, any
                      Options or SARs then exercisable may be exercised only
                      within one year after


                                      27
<PAGE>
 
                      the participant's death and within the Option Period and
                      only by the participant's personal representative or
                      persons entitled thereto under the participant's will or
                      the laws of descent and distribution;

                 (iv) The Option or SAR may not be exercised for more shares
                      (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14) after
                      the termination of the participant's employment, cessation
                      of service as a director or the participant's death, as
                      the case may be, than the participant was entitled to
                      purchase thereunder at the time of the termination of the
                      participant's employment or the participant's death; and

                 (v)  If a participant owns (or is deemed to own under
                      applicable provisions of the Code and regulations
                      promulgated thereunder) more than 10% of the combined
                      voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or
                      any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company) and
                      an Option granted to such participant is intended to
                      qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option by its
                      terms may not be exercisable after the expiration of five
                      years from the date such Option is granted.

            (e)  The Option exercise price of each share purchased pursuant to
                 an Option shall be paid in full at the time of each exercise
                 (the "Payment Date") of the Option (i) in cash; (ii) by
                 delivering to the Company a notice of exercise with an
                 irrevocable direction to a broker-dealer registered under the
                 Act to sell a sufficient portion of the shares and deliver the
                 sale proceeds directly to the Company to pay the exercise
                 price; (iii) in the discretion of the Plan Administrator,
                 through the delivery to the Company of previously-owned shares
                 of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to
                 the Option exercise price of the shares being purchased
                 pursuant to the exercise of the Option; provided, however, that
                 shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the Option price
                 must have been held by the participant for at least six (6)
                 months in order to be utilized to pay the Option price; (iv) in
                 the discretion of the Plan Administrator, through an election
                 to have shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
                 optionee withheld to pay the exercise price of such Option; or
                 (v) in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, through any
                 combination of the payment procedures set forth in subsections
                 (i)-(iv) of this Section 8(e).

            (f)  The Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may authorize "stock
                 retention Options" which provide, upon the exercise of an
                 Option previously granted under this Plan (a "prior Option"),
                 using previously owned shares, for the automatic issuance of a
                 new Option under this Plan with an exercise price equal to the
                 current Fair Market Value and for up to the number of shares
                 equal to the number of previously-owned shares


                                      28
<PAGE>
 
                 delivered in payment of the exercise price of the prior Option.
                 Such stock retention Option shall have the same Option Period
                 as the prior Option.

            (g)  Nothing contained in the Plan nor in any Award agreement shall
                 confer upon any participant any right with respect to the
                 continuance of employment by the Company nor interfere in any
                 way with the right of the Company to terminate his employment
                 or change his compensation at any time.

            (h)  The Plan Administrator may include such other terms and
                 conditions not inconsistent with the foregoing as the Plan
                 Administrator shall approve. Without limiting the generality of
                 the foregoing sentence, the Plan Administrator shall be
                 authorized to determine that Options or SARs shall be
                 exercisable in one or more installments during the term of the
                 Option, subject to the attainment of performance goals and
                 objectives and the right to exercise may be cumulative as
                 determined by the Plan Administrator.

     Section 9.  Independent Director Options.  Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Independent Director who is first elected or appointed to
serve as a director commencing after the effective time of the Initial Public
Offering shall automatically be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase
15,000 shares of Stock.  The Option exercise price for Options granted to
Independent Directors under the Plan will be equal the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date of grant.  Options granted to Independent Directors under the
foregoing provisions will be granted on the date that such Independent Director
is first elected or appointed to serve as a director and will vest in equal
annual installments over three years commencing on the anniversary of the date
of grant and will expire ten years after grant, subject to earlier termination
if the optionee ceases to serve as a director.

     Section 10.  Restricted Stock Awards.

            (a)  The Plan Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Awards to any
                 officer, employee or consultant of the Company and its
                 Subsidiaries. A Restricted Stock Award entitles the recipient
                 to acquire shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and
                 conditions as the Plan Administrator may determine at the time
                 of grant ("Restricted Stock"). Conditions may be based on
                 continuing employment (or other business relationship) and/or
                 achievement of pre-established performance goals and
                 objectives.

            (b)  Upon execution of a written instrument setting forth the
                 Restricted Stock Award and paying any applicable purchase
                 price, a participant shall have the rights of a shareholder
                 with respect to the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock
                 Award, including, but not limited to the right to vote and
                 receive dividends with respect thereto; provided, however, that
                 shares of Stock subject to Restricted Stock Awards that have
                 not vested shall be subject to the restrictions on
                 transferability described in Section 10(d) below. Unless the
                 Plan Administrator shall otherwise determine,

                                      29

                 certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in
                 the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is
                 vested as provided in Section 10(c) below.

            (c)  The Plan Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the
                 date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established
                 performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which
                 Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further
                 rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the
                 instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. If the
                 grantee or the Company, as the case may be, fails to achieve
                 the designated goals or the grantee's relationship with the
                 Company is terminated prior to the expiration of the vesting
                 period, the grantee shall forfeit all shares of Stock subject
                 to the Restricted Stock Award which have not then vested.

            (d)  Unvested Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned
                 transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of
                 except as specifically provided herein or in the written
                 instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award.

     Section 11. Stock Awards.  The Plan Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, grant (or sell at a purchase price determined by the Plan
Administrator) a Stock Award to any officer, employee or consultant of the
Company or its Subsidiaries, pursuant to which such individual may receive
shares of Stock free of any vesting restrictions (a "Stock Award") under the
Plan.  Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding
sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of
any cash compensation due to such individual.

     Section 12. Performance Share Awards. A Performance Share Award is an Award
entitling the recipient to acquire shares of Stock upon the attainment of
specified performance goals. The Plan Administrator may make Performance Share
Awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award
under the Plan. Performance Share Awards may be granted under the Plan to any
officer, employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries, including
those who qualify for awards under other performance plans of the Company. The
Plan Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine whether and to whom
Performance Share Awards shall be made, the performance goals applicable under
each such Award, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and all
other limitations and conditions applicable to the awarded Performance Shares;
provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may rely on the performance goals
and other standards applicable to other performance plans of the Company in
setting the standards for Performance Share Awards under the Plan.

     Section 13. Tax Withholding.

            (a)  Whenever shares are to be issued or cash is to be paid under
                 the Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the
                 participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to
                 satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding requirements
                 prior to the delivery of any certificate for shares or any
                 proceeds; provided, however, that in the case of a participant
                 who


                                      30
<PAGE>
 
                 receives an Award of shares under the Plan which is not
                 fully vested, the participant shall remit such amount on the
                 first business day following the Tax Date. The "Tax Date" for
                 purposes of this Section 13 shall be the date on which the
                 amount of tax to be withheld is determined. If a participant
                 makes a disposition of shares acquired upon the exercise of an
                 Incentive Stock Option within either two years after the Option
                 was granted or one year after its exercise by the participant,
                 the participant shall promptly notify the Company and the
                 Company shall have the right to require the participant to pay
                 to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state
                 and local tax withholding requirements.

            (b)  A participant who is obligated to pay the Company an amount
                 required to be withheld under applicable tax withholding
                 requirements may pay such amount (i) in cash; (ii) in the
                 discretion of the Plan Administrator, through the delivery to
                 the Company of previously-owned shares of Common Stock having
                 an aggregate Fair Market Value on the Tax Date equal to the tax
                 obligation provided that the previously owned shares delivered
                 in satisfaction of the withholding obligations must have been
                 held by the participant for at least six (6) months; or (iii)
                 in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, through a
                 combination of the procedures set forth in subsections (i) and
                 (ii) of this Section 13(b).

            (c)  A participant who is obligated to pay to the Company an amount
                 required to be withheld under applicable tax withholding
                 requirements in connection with either the exercise of a Non-
                 Qualified Stock Option, or the receipt of a Restricted Stock
                 Award, Stock Award or Performance Share Award under the Plan
                 may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, elect to
                 satisfy this withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by
                 requesting that the Company withhold shares of stock otherwise
                 issuable to the participant having a Fair Market Value on the
                 Tax Date equal to the amount of the tax required to be
                 withheld; provided, however, that shares may be withheld by the
                 Company only if such withheld shares have vested. Any
                 fractional amount shall be paid to the Company by the
                 participant in cash or shall be withheld from the participant's
                 next regular paycheck.

            (d)  An election by a participant to have shares of stock withheld
                 to satisfy federal, state and local tax withholding
                 requirements pursuant to Section 13(c) must be in writing and
                 delivered to the Company prior to the Tax Date.

          Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding:


                                      31
<PAGE>
 
            (a)  If, through or as a result of any merger, consolidation, sale
                 of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
                 reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
                 dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar
                 transaction, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or
                 decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of
                 shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares
                 or new or different shares or other securities of the Company
                 or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such
                 shares of Stock or other securities, the Plan Administrator
                 shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i)
                 the number of Stock Options that can be granted to any one
                 individual participant, (ii) the number and kind of shares or
                 other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under
                 the Plan, and (iii) the price for each share subject to any
                 then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing
                 the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price
                 multiplied by the number of shares) as to which such Stock
                 Options remain exercisable. The adjustment by the Plan
                 Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

            (b)  In the event that, by reason of a corporate merger,
                 consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation,
                 reorganization or liquidation, the Board of Directors shall
                 authorize the issuance or assumption of a stock Option or stock
                 Options in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code
                 applies, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
                 the Plan Administrator may grant an Option or Options upon such
                 terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate for the purpose
                 of assumption of the old Option, or substitution of a new
                 Option for the old Option, in conformity with the provisions of
                 Code Section 424(a) and the rules and regulations thereunder,
                 as they may be amended from time to time.

            (c)  No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 14
                 shall require the Company to issue or to sell a fractional
                 share under any stock Option agreement or share award agreement
                 and the total adjustment or substitution with respect to each
                 stock Option and share award agreement shall be limited
                 accordingly.

            (d)  In the case of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the
                 Company, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in
                 which the Company is acquired by another person or entity
                 (other than a holding company formed by the Company), (iii) the
                 sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
                 to an unrelated person or entity, or (iv) the sale of all of
                 the stock of the Company to a unrelated person or entity (in
                 each case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), the Plan and all
                 Awards granted hereunder shall terminate, unless provision is
                 made in connection with the Fundamental Transaction for the
                 assumption of the Awards heretofore granted, or the
                 substitution of such Awards with new awards of the


                                      32

                 price as provided in Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
                 14. In the event of such termination each participant shall be
                 notified of such proposed termination and permitted to exercise
                 for a period of at least 15 days prior to the date of such
                 termination all Options and SARs held by such participant which
                 are then exercisable.
