     Options hereunder. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be either

1.5  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

     All Options shall be evidenced by agreements in such form as the Committee
     shall approve from time to time subject to the provisions of Article II or
     Article III, as appropriate, and the following provisions:

               (a)  EXERCISE PRICE. Except as provided in Section 3.1, the
     exercise price of the Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value
     (as determined by the Committee) or the Common Stock at the time the Option
     is granted.

               (b)  EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine whether the Option
     shall be exercisable in full at any time during the Term or in cumulative
     or noncumulative installments during the Term.

               (c) TERMINATION OF OPTIONS. An Optionee's Option shall expire on
     the earlier of the expiration of (i) the date specified in the Option,
     which if the Optionee is a Key Employee shall in no event be later than
     three (3) months after the termination of the Key Employee's employment by
     the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary for any reason other than death or
     disability (as defined in Section 422(c)(6) of the Code), if the Optionee
     is a Director shall be no later than five (5) years after the date of
     termination of such Optionee's role as a Director of the Company, a Parent
     or Subsidiary, as the case may be, and if the Optionee is a Consultant
     shall be no later than one (1) year after the date of termination of such
     Optionee's role as a Consultant of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary, as
     the case may be, or (ii) the Term specified in Section 2.1 or 3.1(a) as the
     case may be. In the event of exercise of the Option after termination of
     the Optionee's relationship with the Company, the Optionee may exercise the
     Option only with respect to the shares which could have been purchased by
     the Optionee at the date of such termination. However, the Committee may,
     but is not required to, waive any requirements made pursuant to
     Section 1.5(b) so that some or all of the shares subject to the Option may
     be exercised within the time limitation described in this subsection. A Key
     Employee's employment shall be deemed to terminate on the last date for
     which he receives a regular wage or salary payment. A Consultant's or
     Director's relationship with the Company shall be deemed to terminate upon
     the date determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

          (d)  DEATH OR DISABILITY. Upon termination of a Key Employee's
     employment by reason of death or disability (as determined by the Committee
     consistent with the definition of Section 422(c)(6) of the Code), the
     Option shall expire on the earlier of the expiration of (i) the date
     specified in the Option which in no event shall be later than twelve (12)
     months after the date of such termination, or (ii) the Term specified in
     Section 2.1 or 3.1(a) as the may be. The Key Employee or his successor in
     interest, as the case may be, may exercise the Option only as to the shares
     which could have been purchased by the Key Employee at the date of his
     termination of employment. However, the Committee may, but is not required
     to, waive any requirements made pursuant to Section 1.5(b) so that some or
     all of the shares subject to the Option may be exercised within the time
     limitation described in this subsection.

          (e)  PAYMENT. Payment for shares as to which an Option is exercised
     shall be made in such manner and at such time or times as shall be provided
     in the option agreement, including cash, Common Stock of the Company which
     was previously acquired by the Optionee, or any combination thereof. The
     Fair Market Value of the surrendered Common Stock as of the date of
     exercise shall be determined in valuing Common Stock used in payment for
     Options.

          (f)  NONTRANSFERABILITY. No Option granted under the Plan shall be
     transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     During the lifetime of the Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable only by
     the Optionee.

          (g)  ELIGIBILITY. Only Key Employees shall be eligible for the grant
     of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Plan, but not employee,
     including Key Employees, shall have the right to be granted any Option
     pursuant to the Plan merely as a result of his or her status as an employee
     of the Company. Consultants and Directors shall not be eligible for the
     grant of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Plan.

                                      -3-

          (h)  ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each option agreement may contain such
     other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan
     as the Committee may deem appropriate from time to time.

1.6  STOCK ADJUSTMENTS: MERGERS.

     Notwithstanding Section 1.4, in the event the outstanding shares of Common
     Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a
     different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or of
     any other corporation by reason of any merger, sale of stock,
     consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
     split up, combination of shares, or stock dividend, the total number of
     shares set forth in Section 1.4 shall be proportionately and appropriately
     adjusted by the Committee, but only to the extent necessary to reflect
     changes in outstanding options. If the Company continues in existence,
     (i) the number and kind of shares that are subject to any Option and the
     option price per share shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted
     without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor upon exercise
     of the Option, and (ii) the Committee may make such adjustments in the
     number and kind of Stock Appreciation Rights as it shall deem appropriate
     in the circumstances. If the Company will not remain in existence or
     substantially all of its voting Common Stock and Common Stock will be
     purchased by a single purchaser or group of purchasers acting together,
     then the Committee may (i) declare that all Options and Stock Appreciation
     Rights shall terminate 30 days after the Committee gives written notice to
     all Optionees of their immediate right to exercise all Options and Stock
     Appreciation Rights then outstanding (without regard to limitations on
     exercise otherwise contained in the Options), or (ii) notify all Optionees
     that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall
     apply with appropriate adjustments as determined by the Committee to the
     securities of the successor corporation to which holders of the numbers of
     shares subject to such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights would have
     been entitled, or (iii) some combination of aspects of (i) and (ii). The
     determination by the Committee as to the terms of any of the foregoing
     adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. Any fractional shares
     resulting from any of the foregoing adjustments under this section shall be
     disregarded and eliminated.

1.7 ACCELERATION EVENT.

     If an Acceleration Event occurs in the opinion of the Committee, based on
     circumstances known to it, the Committee may declare that all Options and
     Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall become exercisable
     immediately notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Option
     agreements regarding exercisability.

1.8 NOTIFICATION OF EXERCISE.

     Options shall be exercised by written notice directed to the Secretary of
     the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company. Such written
     notice shall be accompanied by any payment required pursuant to Section
     1.5(e). Exercise by an Optionee's heirs or the representative of his estate
     shall be accompanied by evidence of authority of such person or persons to
     so act in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.



                                   ARTICLE II
                            INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

<PAGE>


2.2  LIMITATION ON OPTIONS.

     The aggregate Fair Market Value of Common Stock (determined at the time the
     Incentive Stock Option is granted) subject to Incentive Stock Options
     granted to a Key Employee under all plans of the Key Employee's employer
     corporation and its Parent or Subsidiary corporations and that become
     exercisable for the first time by such Key Employee during any calendar
     year may not exceed $100,000.

2.3  CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT.

     Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence
     shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each
     case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the
     Committee shall be final and conclusive. A termination of employment
     shall not occur where the Optionee transfers from the Company to its
     Parent or one of its Subsidiaries or transfers from a Subsidiary or Parent
     to the Company.

2.4  SPECIAL RULE FOR TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER.

     If at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, an employee owns
     stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
     voting power of all classes of stock of his employer corporation or of
     its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, as determined using the
     attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code, then the terms of the
     Incentive Stock Option shall specify that the option price shall be at
     lease 110% of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the
     Incentive Stock Option and such Incentive Stock Option shall not be
     exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such
     Incentive Stock Option is granted.

2.5  INTERPRETATION.

     In interpreting this Article II of the Plan and the provisions of
     individual option agreements, the Committee and the Board shall be governed
     by the principles and requirements of Sections 421, 422 and 424 of the
     Code, and applicable Treasury Regulations.

                                  ARTICLE III
                           NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS

3.1  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

     In addition to the requirements of Section 1.5, Nonqualified Stock Options
     shall be subject to the following provisions:

               (a)  TERM. Each Nonqualified Stock Option granted under the Plan
     shall be exercisable only during a Term fixed by the Committee.

               (b)  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Notwithstanding the provisions
     of Sections 1.5(c) and 1.5(d), the Stock Option Committee in its
     discretion may provide, either upon the original grant of an Option or
     in an amendment to an Incentive or Nonqualified Stock Option, that an
     Option may be exercisable during a Term that does not expire upon the
     expiration of three months following a Key Employees's termination of
     employment, a Consultant's termination of his or her consulting
     relationship, or a Director's termination as a Director of the Company,
     a parent or a Subsidiary (one year in the case of termination as a
     result of death or disability), but in no event later than the Term
     specified in Section 3.1(a) above.

               (c)  EXERCISE PRICE. The Company may elect to grant Nonqualified
     Stock Options at a price less than the Fair Market Value of the Common

<PAGE>

               (d)  ADDITIONAL TERMS. Pursuant to Section 1.5(h), the Committee
     may add additional terms and conditions to a Nonqualified Stock Option,
     including, but not limited to, a cash award for any federal tax liability
     suffered by the Optionee upon the grant and/or exercise or a Nonqualified
     Stock Option.

3.2  SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.

     The Company recognizes that certain persons who receive Nonqualified
     Stock Options may be subject to restrictions regarding their right to
     trade Common Stock under applicable securities laws. Such may cause
     Optionees exercising such Options not to be taxable under the provisions
     of Section 83(c) of the Code. Accordingly, Optionees exercising such
     Nonqualified Stock Options may consider making a election to be taxed
     upon exercise of the Option under Section 83(b) of the Code and to
     effect such election will file such election with the Internal Revenue
     Service within thirty (30) days of exercise of the Option and otherwise
     in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                            STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

4.1  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

     Stock Appreciation Rights ("SAR") may be, but are not required to be,
     granted by the Committee in connection with grant of an Option. All SARs
     shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine and
     shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

               (a)  TERM AND EXERCISE. An SAR shall be exercisable only (i)
     with the approval of the Committee, (ii) during the Term of the Option
     to which it relates, (iii) at such times as the Option to which it
     relates is exercisable, and (iv) if the Fair Market Value of the Common
     Stock subject to the Option surrendered (on the date surrendered) minus
     the aggregate option price of the Common Stock subject to the Option
     surrendered is a positive amount.

               (b)  PAYMENT. In the event the Committee agrees to permit
     exercise of the SAR, the Optionee shall surrender to the Company the
     right to exercise the Option with respect to a specified number of
     shares as to which the Option is then exercisable. In return, the
     Optionee shall receive from the Company no more than an amount payable
     in cash and/or in shares (as determined by the Committee after
     considering the request of the Optionee) equal to the difference between
     the Fair Market Value of Common Stock as to which the Optionee has
     surrendered the Option and the exercise price with respect thereto. In
     the event the Committee determines to tender shares in full or partial
     payment of the SAR, the number of shares to be issued to the Optionee
     shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the shares as of the date of
     exercise of the SAR. No fractional shares shall be issued to Optionees
     upon exercise of an SAR. Instead, the Company shall pay the Optionee the
     value of such fractional share based upon the Fair Market Value of a
     share on the date the SAR is exercised.

               (c)  NONTRANSFERABILITY. An SAR granted under the Plan shall be
     transferable only when the Option to which it relates is transferable.

4.2  OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

     Option agreements reflecting Stock Appreciation Rights which are granted
     under the Plan may contain such other conditions not inconsistent with the
     provisions of the Plan as the Committee may deem appropriate from time to
     time.

4.3  NOTIFICATION OF REQUEST TO EXERCISE.

     The Optionee shall request the Committee's approval to exercise a Stock
     Appreciation Right by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at
     the principal executive offices of the Company. Such written notice
     shall state the number of shares subject to the Option for which
     approval of the exercise of the SAR is requested and the Optionee's
     preferred form of payment of the SAR, as hereinafter provided. The
     Optionee may indicate his or her preference to receive payment of the
     SAR in cash in or Common Stock or in a combination thereof.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee
     shall have absolute discretion in determining whether the request for
     approval of the exercise of the SAR shall be approved and, if such
     approval is given, whether payment shall be made in cash or Common Stock
     or in a combination thereof.

     Within 30 days after the delivery to the Secretary of the Optionee's
     request to exercise the SAR as provided above, the Committee shall
     inform the Optionee in writing of its determination by personal delivery
     of such written determination to the Optionee or by mailing its written
     determination to the Optionee by certified or registered mail, return
     receipt requested. The Optionee must act on any approved exercise of an
     SAR within 30 days after the date of such determination by the Committee
     (or such longer period as may be permitted by the Committee) and in
     accordance with the terms approved by the Committee. Exercise shall be
     by written notice actually delivered, or mailed by certified or
     registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the
     Company at the principal executive office of the Company.

4.4  EFFECT OF EXERCISE.

     Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Option to which it
     relates shall lapse with respect to the shares as to which the SAR is
     exercised and such shares shall not be available for further grant of
     Options.
