than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of

following the meeting at which they were appointed, each Outside Director
who will continue serving as a member of the Board thereafter shall receive

exercisable at the date of grant;

(iii) The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options granted to an
Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant,

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an
ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Code section 422(c)(6).

-6-
<PAGE>

(e) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, in
-----------------
determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned,
directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers, sisters, spouse, ancestors and
lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a
corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned
proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries.

(f) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, "outstanding
-----------------
stock" shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after
the grant. "Outstanding stock" shall not include shares authorized for issuance
under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any other person.

SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
---------------------------------

(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized
----------------
but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Options,
SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed
(a) four million (4,000,000 Shares, plus the additional Common Shares described
in Sections (b) and (c). The limitation of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

(b) Annual Increase in Shares. As of January 1 of each year, commencing
-------------------------
with the year 2001, the aggregate number of Options, SARs, Stock Units and
Restricted Shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall automatically
increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 Shares, (ii) 5% of the
outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the
Board. The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan shall
at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 16. The number of
Shares which are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time
under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available
for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at
all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

(c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon
-----------------
the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Common Shares shall again
become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are
forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the
corresponding Common Shares shall again become available for Awards under the
Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Common Shares (if any)
actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number
available under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Common
Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the
number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available
for Awards under the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, the aggregate number
of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs
shall not be increased when Restricted Shares or other Common Shares are
forfeited.

(d) Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under
--------------------
the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares, Stock
Units, Options or SARs available for Awards, whether or not such dividend
equivalents are converted into Stock Units.

-7-
<PAGE>

SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES
-----------------------------

(a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the
--------------------------
Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient
and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms
of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with
the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted
------------------
Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents,
full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent
that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient
shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such
Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services
rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may
determine.

(c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to
-------
vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of
the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Committee may
include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the
Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified period of one or more
years equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Committee. Such
performance shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors. Such
target shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A.
The Committee shall determine such target not later than the 90th day of such
period. In no event shall the number of Restricted Shares which are subject to
performance based vesting conditions exceed 1,000,000, subject to adjustment in
accordance with Section 16. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for
accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, disability or
retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of
granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted
Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with
respect to the Company.

(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded
--------------------------
under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the
Company's other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require
that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in
additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject
to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the
dividends were paid.

SECTION 7. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.
---------------------------------------------------------

(a) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to
---------------------------------------------------
acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Offeree within thirty (30) days after the grant of such
right was communicated to him by the Committee. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was
granted.

-8-
<PAGE>

(b) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable in one of the
--------------
forms described in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c).

(c) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the
-----------------
Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such purchase.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold under
----------------------------------
the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

SECTION 8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
-------------------------------------------

(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall
----------------------
be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent
with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock
Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is
an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in
consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation. A Stock
Option Agreement may provide that a new Option will be granted automatically to
the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays the Exercise Price
in a form described in Section 9.

(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
----------------
number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 16. Options granted to an
Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than
1,000,000 Shares.

(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
--------------
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100 percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as
otherwise provided in Section 4(d). Subject to the foregoing in this Section
8(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee
at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms
described in Section 9.

(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
-----------------
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal,
state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

(e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
-----------------------
the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The
Stock Option

-9-
<PAGE>

Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of
an ISO shall in no event exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (five (5)
years for Employees described in Section 4(d)). A Stock Option Agreement may
provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death,
disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior
to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's
service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may
provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are
forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 8(e), the Committee at its
sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to
become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

(f) Nontransferability. During an Optionee's lifetime, his Option(s)
------------------
shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable. In the event of
an Optionee's death, his Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(g) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option
-----------------------------------------------
Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee's Service with the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any
executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or any person who has
acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.
Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may
reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

(h) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time
---------------------------
of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable
as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the following
limitations:

(i) In the case of an ISO, the acceleration of exercisability shall
not occur without the Optionee's written consent.

(ii) If the Company and the other party to the transaction
constituting a Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be
treated as a :pooling of interests" for financial reporting purposes, and
if such transaction in fact is so treated, then the acceleration of
exercisability shall not occur to the extent that the Company's independent
accountants and such other party's independent accountants separately
determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude the use of
"pooling of interests" accounting.

(i) Leaves of Absence. An Employee's Service shall cease when such
-----------------
Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a consultant or adviser to, the
Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of
Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee
goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in
writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or
when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for
purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an
Employee's Service will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after such
Employee went on leave, unless such Employee's right to

-10-
<PAGE>

return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates
in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately
returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward
Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

(j) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
--------------------------
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for
such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 9.

(k) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
----------------------------------------------
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not
previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant
of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase
his obligations under such Option.

(l) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise
----------------------------------
of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

(m) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy
-----------------
out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or
(b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in
either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall establish.

SECTION 9. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
------------------------------

(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the
------------
Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the
time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Subsections (b)
through (g) below.

(b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
------------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to
the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his
representative for more than twelve (12) months. Such Shares shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the
Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in
payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to
recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect
to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

(c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be
-----------------
awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a
Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a
Purchase Price in cash, the Committee

-11-
<PAGE>

shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the
services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to
meet the requirements of Section 6(c).

(d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
-----------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell
Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
---------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender
to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan
proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
---------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed
by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the
Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in
cash or cash equivalents.

(g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement
----------------------
so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.

SECTION 10. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
--------------------------------------

(a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be
-------------
evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR
shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any
other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the
various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs
may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other
compensation.

(b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of
----------------
Common Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of
such number in accordance with Section 12. SARs granted to any Optionee in a
single calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than 1,000,000 Common
Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to
adjustment in accordance with Section 12.

(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise
--------------
Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance
with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.

(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date
-----------------------
when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR
Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide
for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability
or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of
its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service. SARs may be
awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs
will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be
included in an ISO only

-12-
<PAGE>

at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or
thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable
only in the event of a Change in Control.

(e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
---------------------------
time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the following
sentence. If the Company and the other party to the transaction constituting a
Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of
interests" for financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is
so treated, then the acceleration of exercisability shall not occur to the
extent that the Company's independent accountants and such other party's
independent accountants separately determine in good faith that such
acceleration would preclude the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.

(f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any
----------------
person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall
receive from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of
Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash
and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs
shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value
(on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the
Exercise Price. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price under
such SAR is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such
SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be
deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.

(g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the
----------------------------------
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept
the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different
number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

SECTION 11. STOCK UNITS.
------------------------

(a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan
--------------------
shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the
Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan.
The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan
need not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a
reduction in the recipient's other compensation.

(b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the
------------------
form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award
recipients.

(c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be
------------------
subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions

-13-
<PAGE>

specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for
accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, disability or
retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting
Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become
vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company,
except as provided in the next following sentence. If the Company and the other
party to the transaction constituting a Change in Control agree that such
transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of interests" for financial reporting
purposes, and if such transaction in fact is so treated, then the acceleration
of vesting shall not occur to the extent that the Company's independent
accountants and such other party's independent accountants separately determine
in good faith that such acceleration would preclude the use of "pooling of
interests" accounting.

(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no
--------------------------
voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under
the Plan may, at the Committee's discretion, carry with it a right to dividend
equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal
to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is
outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units.
Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form
of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any
dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions
and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.

(e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested
------------------------------------------
Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or (c) any
combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock
Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included
in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of
converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based
on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days.
Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The
distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the
Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any
later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an
interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is
settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 12.

(f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after
------------------
the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's beneficiary or
beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall
designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed
form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient's death.
If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the
recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's estate.

(g) Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other
-----------------
than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

-14-
<PAGE>

SECTION 12. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
----------------------------------------

(a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
-----------
Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a
declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an
amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a combination
or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or
otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off
or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its
sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of:

(i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock
Units available for future Awards under Section 5;

(ii) The limitations set forth in Sections 8(b) and 10(b);

(iii) The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under
Section 4(b);

(iv) The number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding
Option and SAR;

(v) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or

(vi) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which
has not yet been settled.

Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no rights by
reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities
convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase
or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised
--------------------------
or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

(c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
---------------
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:

(i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if
the Company is a surviving corporation;

(ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving
corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent
or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

-15-
<PAGE>

(iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of
the outstanding Awards; or

(v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in
cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.

SECTION 13. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.
-------------------------------

The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant
to:

(a) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a
result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a
deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee
as an entry on the Company's books;

(b) Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted into an
equal number of Stock Units; or

(c) Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the settlement of
Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account
established for such Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company's
books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market Value of
such Common Shares as of the date when they otherwise would have been delivered
to such Participant.

A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13 may be
credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the
Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no
rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account
shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such
Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is
permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish
rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without
limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under
this Section 13.

SECTION 14. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
-------------------------------------

The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards
may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common
Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares
issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of
Common Shares available under Section 5.

SECTION 15. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR'S FEES IN SECURITIES.
-----------------------------------------------------

(a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective
--------------
unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.

(b) Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An
-----------------------------------------------------------
Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or
meeting fees from the

-16-
<PAGE>

Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units, or a
combination thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares
and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section
15 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed form.

(c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The number
----------------------------------------------------------
of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in
lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash
shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms of such NSOs,
Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the Board.

SECTION 16. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
---------------------------------

(a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock,
-------
a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend
payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on
the value of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate
adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future
grants under Section 5, (ii) the number of Shares available for grants under
Section 4(c), (iii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option,
(iv) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option, (v) the number of shares
covered by each outstanding award or (vi) the Purchase Price of each outstanding
award.

(b) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
---------------
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide for the
assumption of outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent or
for their continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving
corporation); provided, however, that if assumption or continuation of the
outstanding Options is not provided by such agreement then the Committee shall
have the option of offering the payment of a cash settlement equal to the
difference between the amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and
the Exercise Price, in all cases without the Optionees' consent.

(c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 16, an
---------------------
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

-17-
<PAGE>

SECTION 17. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
---------------------------------------------

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

SECTION 18. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
-----------------------------

(a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or
-------
foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan
until such obligations are satisfied.

(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy
-----------------
all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the
Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be
issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Shares
that he or she previously acquired. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their
Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.

SECTION 19. LIMITATION ON PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.
--------------------------------------------

(a) Scope of Limitation. This Section 19 shall apply to an Award unless
-------------------
the Committee, at the time of making an Award under the Plan or at any time
thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall not be subject to this
Section 19. If this Section 19 applies to an Award, it shall supersede any
contrary provision of the Plan or of any Award granted under the Plan.

(b) Basic Rule. In the event that the independent auditors most recently
----------
selected by the Board (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or transfer by
the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a "Payment")
would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of
the provisions concerning "excess parachute payments" in Section 280G of the
Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section 19, the "Reduced
Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the
aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be
nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code.

(c) Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment
---------------------
would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code, then
the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy
of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the
Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of
the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such

-18-
<PAGE>

election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount)
and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 10 days of
receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such
10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments
shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate
present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the
Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section 19, present
value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All
determinations made by the Auditors under this Section 19 shall be binding upon
the Company and the Participant and shall be made within sixty (60) days of the
date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable
following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay
or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then
due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for
the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to him
or her under the Plan.

(d) Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the
------------------------------
application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination
by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by
the Company that should not have been made (an "Overpayment") or that additional
Payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an
"Underpayment"), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced
Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a
deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the
Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success,
determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated
for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the
Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment
would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code.
In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such
Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

(e) Related Corporations. For purposes of this Section 19, the term
--------------------
"Company" shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the
Auditors in accordance with Section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.

SECTION 20. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
--------------------------------

No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Option granted under the Plan,
shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated as, or
to remain an Employee. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to
terminate any person's Service at any time and for any reason, with or without
notice.

-19-
<PAGE>

SECTION 21. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
------------------------------------

(a) Term of the Plan. The amended and restated Plan, as set forth herein,
----------------
shall terminate automatically on ten years after its adoption and may be
terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below.

(b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend
------------------------------------
the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under any
Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by
such amendment, except with consent of the person to whom the Option was
granted. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws,
regulations or rules.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold
----------------------------------
under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Option
granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment
thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option previously
granted under the Plan.

SECTION 22. EXECUTION.
---------------------

To record the adoption of the amended and restated Plan by the Board of
Directors effective as of February 15, 2000, the Company has caused its
authorized officer to execute the same.
