shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete
discretion in determining the number of Shares subject to Options granted to
each Participant, provided, however, that (a) no Participant may be granted
Options in any calendar year for more than 75,000 shares of Common Stock and (b)

Option not intended to be within the provisions of Section 422A of the Code.
6.3 Option Price. The exercise price per share of Stock covered by an
Option ("Option Price") shall be determined by the Committee subject to the
following limitations. In the case of an ISO, the Option Price shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the Grant Date. An ISO
granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant, owns (within the meaning of
Section 425(d) of the Code) Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company, shall have an Option Price
which is at least equal to 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock. In the

Value of the Stock on the Grant Date.

at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the
Committee shall determine, which need not be the same for all Participants.
6.6 Method of Exercise. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a
written notice to the Company in the form prescribed by the Committee setting
forth the number of Shares with
6

respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for
the Shares. The Option Price shall be payable to the Company in full either in
cash, by delivery of Shares of Stock valued at Fair Market Value at the time of
exercise, delivery of a promissory note or by a combination of the foregoing. As
soon as practicable, after receipt of written notice and payment, the Company
shall deliver to the Participant, stock certificates in an appropriate amount
based upon the number of Options exercised, issued in the Participant's name. No
Participant who is awarded Options shall have rights as a shareholder until the
date of exercise of the Options.
6.7 Restrictions on Stock Transferability. The Committee shall impose
such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option
under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without by limitation,
restrictions under applicable Federal securities law, under the requirements of

which such Shares are then listed and under any blue sky or state securities
laws applicable to such Shares.
6.8 Nontransferability of Options. No Option granted under the Plan may
be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated,
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all
Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his
lifetime only by such Participant or his guardian or legal representative.
ARTICLE VII.

("Tandem SARs");
(b) In connection with and exercisable in addition to the grant of
Options ("Additive SARs");
(c) Independent of grant of the Options ("Freestanding SARs"); or
(d) In any combination of the foregoing.
7.2 Exercise of Tandem SARs. Tandem SARs may be exercised with respect to
all or part of the Shares subject to the Related Option. The exercise of Tandem
SARs shall cause a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Related
Option equal to the number of Shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR is
exercised. Conversely, the exercise, in whole or part, of a Related Option,
shall cause a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Tandem Option
equal to the number of Shares with respect to which the Related Option is
exercised. Shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR shall have been
exercised may not be subject again to an Award under the Plan.
7
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Tandem
SAR shall expire no later than the expiration of the Related Option, shall be
transferable only when and under the same conditions as the Related Option and
shall be exercisable only when the Related Option is eligible to be exercised.
In addition, if the Related Option is an ISO, a Tandem SAR shall be exercised
for no more than 100% of the difference between the Option Price of the Related
Option and the Fair Market Value of Shares subject to the Related Option at the
time the Tandem SAR is exercised.
7.3 Exercise of Additive SARs. Additive SARs shall be deemed to be
exercised upon, and in addition to, the exercise of the Related Options. The
deemed exercise of Additive SARs shall not reduce the number of Shares with
respect to which the Related Options remains unexercised.
7.4 Exercise of Freestanding SARs. Freestanding SARs may be exercised
upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion,
imposes upon such SARs.
7.5 Other Conditions Applicable to SARs. No SAR granted under the Plan
shall be exercisable until the expiration of at least six months after the Grant
Date, except that such limitation shall not apply in the case of the death or
disability of the Participant. In no event shall the term of any SAR granted
under the Plan exceed ten years from the Grant Date. A SAR may be exercised
only when the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds either (a) the Fair Market
Value per Share on the Grant Date in the case of a Freestanding SAR or (b) the
Option Price of the Related Option in the case of either a Tandem or Additive
SAR. A SAR shall be exercised by delivery to the Committee of a notice of
exercise in the form prescribed by the Committee.
7.6 Payment Upon Exercise of SARs. Subject to the provisions of the
Agreement, upon the exercise of a SAR, the Participant is entitled to receive,
without any payment to the Company (other than required tax withholding
amounts), an amount equal to the product of multiplying (i) the number of Shares
with respect to which the SAR is exercised by (ii) an amount equal to the excess
of (A) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise of the SAR over
(B) either (x) the Fair Market Value per Share on the Award Date in the case of
a Freestanding SAR or (y) the Option Price of the Related Option in the case of
either a Tandem or additive SAR.
Payment to the Participant shall be made in Shares, valued at the Fair
Market Value of the date of exercise, in cash if the Participant has so elected
in his written notice of exercise and Committee has consented thereto, or a
combination thereof. To the extent required to satisfy the conditions of Rule
16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, or any successor or similar rule, or as
otherwise provided in the Agreement, the Committee shall have the sole
discretion to consent to or disapprove the election of any Participant to
receive cash in full or partial settlement of a SAR. In cases where an election
of settlement in cash must be consented to by the Committee, the Committee may
consent to, or disapprove, such election at any time after such election, or
within such period for taking action as is specified in the election, and
failure to give consent shall be disapproval. Consent may be given in whole or
as to a portion of the SAR surrendered by the Participant. If the election to
receive cash is disapproved in whole or in part, the SAR shall be deemed to have
been exercised for Shares, or, if so specified in the notice of exercise and
election, not to have been exercised to the extent the election to receive cash
is disapproved.

In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Committee, as
constituted before such Change in Control, in its sole discretion may, as to any
outstanding Award, either at the time the Award is made or any time thereafter,
take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration
of any time periods relating to the exercise or realization of any such Award so
that such Award may be exercised or realized in full on or before a date
initially fixed by the Committee; (ii) provide for the purchase or settlement of
any such Award by the Company, upon a Participant's request, for an amount of
cash equal to the amount which could have been obtained upon the exercise of
such Award or realization of such Participant's rights had such Award been
currently exercisable or payable; (iii) make such adjustment to any such Award
then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in
Control; or (iv) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new
rights substituted therefor, by the acquiring or surviving corporation in such
Change in Control.
ARTICLE XIII.
Modification, Extension and Renewal of Awards
Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan,
the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or, if authorized
by the Board, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not yet
exercised) granted under the Plan and authorize the granting of new Awards
pursuant to the Plan in substitution therefor, and the substituted Awards may
specify a longer term than the surrendered Awards or may contain any other
provisions that are authorized by the Plan, provided, however, that the
substituted Awards may not specify a lower exercise price than the surrendered
Awards. The Committee may also modify, the terms of an outstanding Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no

14.1 Amendment, Modification and Termination. At any time and from time to

of the Plan other than pursuant to Section 4.4 herein shall in any manner
adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, without the
written consent of the Participant.
ARTICLE XV.
Withholding
15.1 Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power and the right to
deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy Federal, State and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any grant, exercise, or payment made under or as a result of this Plan.
15.2 Stock Withholding. With respect to withholding required upon the
exercise of Nonqualified Stock Options, or upon the lapse of restrictions on
Restricted Stock, or upon the occurrence of any other similar taxable event,
participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the
withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold
Shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be
withheld. The value of the Shares to be withheld shall be based on Fair Market
Value of the Shares on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined. All elections shall be irrevocable and be made in writing, signed
by the Participant on forms approved by the Committee in advance of the day that
the transaction becomes taxable.
ARTICLE XVI.
Successors
All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards
granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business
and or assets of the Company.

Shares of Stock under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules,
and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or SROs as

governed, construed and administered in accordance with and governed by the laws
