ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     The Registrant's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware
law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for
liability (i) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided
in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     The Registrant's Restated Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify its employees and other
agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Registrant believes that
indemnification under its Restated Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross
negligence on the part of indemnified parties. The Registrant's Restated Bylaws
also permit the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any officer,
director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her
actions in such capacity, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the
power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. The Registrant currently has secured such insurance
on behalf of its officers and directors.

     The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors and
officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the Registrant's
Bylaws. Subject to certain conditions, these agreements, among other things,
indemnify the Registrant's directors and officers for certain expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by
any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the
right of the Registrant, arising out of such person's services as a director or
officer of the Registrant, any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company
or enterprise to which the person provides services at the request of the
Registrant.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant indemnity to directors and
officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended. The
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws provide for
indemnification of its officers, directors, employees and other agents to the
maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Law.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i)  to include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
     material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

          (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, the post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

     (4)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Exchange Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Exchange Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).

     4.   Administration of the Plan.

          (a)  Administration. The Plan shall be administered by (i) the Board
or (ii) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable
Laws.

          (b)  Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated
by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in
its discretion:

               (iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each Option granted hereunder;

               (v)  to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

Options may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any
vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction
or limitation regarding any Option or the shares of Common Stock relating
thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall determine;

current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted;

               (viii) to institute an Option Exchange Program;

<PAGE>   4

               (ix) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the Plan;

               (x)  to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;

               (xi) to modify or amend each Option (subject to Section 14(b) of
the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination
exercisability period of Options longer than is otherwise provided for in the
Plan;

               (xii) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company
any instrument required to effect the grant of an Option previously granted by
the Administrator;

               (xiii) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Options;

               (xiv) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. All elections by an Optionee to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

               (xv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for administering the Plan.

          (c)  Effect of Administrator's Decision. The Administrator's
decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all
Optionees and any other holders of Options.

     5.   Eligibility. Options may be granted to Service Providers; provided,
however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan,
Options may not be granted to Officers and Directors.

     6.   Limitation. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer upon an
Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship as a
Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the
Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any
time, with or without cause.

     7.   Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board. It shall continue in effect for ten (10) years, unless sooner terminated
under Section 14 of the Plan.

     8.   Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
Agreement.

     9.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

          (a)  Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be
issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator.

<PAGE>   5

          (b)  Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.

          (c)  Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

               (i)  cash;

               (ii) check;

               (iii) promissory note;

               (iv) other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon
exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said
Option shall be exercised;

               (v)  consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

               (vi) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the
Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee's participation
in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;

               (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or

               (viii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

     10.  Exercise of Option.

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at
such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set
forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of
a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
(i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.


<PAGE>   6

               Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of
Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee
ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Optionee's death or
Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, but only within such
period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement, and only to the extent
that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than
the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).
In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee's termination.
If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall
revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or
her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in
no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option
Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance,
but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's termination. If, at
the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option,
the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately
revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator
of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the
Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the
Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (e)  Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

     11.  Non-Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator makes an Option

<PAGE>   7

transferable, such Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

     12.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or
Asset Sale.

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.

          (c)  Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of
the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses
to assume or substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and
have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option
becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in
the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the
merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or
receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock, immediately prior to the merger or
sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or
property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock
for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common
stock of the successor


<PAGE>   8

corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the
successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the Option, for each Share of Optioned Stock to be solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to
the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or
sale of assets.

     13.  Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be, for all
purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Option, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     14.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a)  Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.

     15.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

          (a)  Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          (b)  Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required.

     16.  Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

     17.  Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will
at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

                           1997 NON-OFFICER STOCK PLAN



ARTICLE 1.     INTRODUCTION.

The Plan was adopted by the Board effective January 20, 1997. The purpose of the
Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of
stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees and Consultants to focus on
critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of
Employees and Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking
Employees and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased
stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards
in the form of Restricted Shares or nonstatutory stock options. The Plan does
not provide for the grant of incentive stock options and does not cover officers
of the Company.

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Delaware (except their choice-of-law provisions).

ARTICLE 2.     ADMINISTRATION.

     COMMITTEE COMPOSITION. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall consist exclusively of one or more directors of the Company, who
shall be appointed by the Board.

     COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES. The Committee shall (a) select the Employees
and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the
type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such
Awards, (c) interpret the Plan and (d) make all other decisions relating to the
operation of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it
deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee's determinations under
the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

ARTICLE 3.     SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

     BASIC LIMITATION. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of
Options and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed two
million. The limitation of this Section 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment
pursuant to Article 8.

<PAGE>   5

     ADDITIONAL SHARES. If Options are forfeited or terminate for any other
reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Common Shares shall again
become available for the grant of Options and Restricted Shares under the Plan.
If Restricted Shares are forfeited, then the corresponding Common Shares shall
again become available for the grant of Options and Restricted Shares under the

ARTICLE 4.     ELIGIBILITY.

     Only Employees and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Awards
under the Plan. Individuals who are considered officers of the Company under the
rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers shall not be eligible
for the grant of Awards.

ARTICLE 5.     OPTIONS.

     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 of the Plan and may be subject
to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of
the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical. All Options granted under the Plan shall be nonstatutory stock
options and shall not qualify for treatment as incentive stock options under
section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Options may be
granted in consideration of a cash payment or 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 the form described in
Section 6.2.

     NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of
Common Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such
number in accordance with Article 8.

     EXERCISE PRICE. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise
Price; provided that the Exercise Price shall in no event be less than 85% of
the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. A Stock Option
Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a
predetermined formula while the Option is outstanding.

     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 Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option. 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 also be awarded in combination with Restricted
Shares, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable
unless the related Restricted Shares are forfeited.

     EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Committee may determine, at the time of
granting an Option or thereafter, that all or part of such Option shall become
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

     MODIFICATION OR ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. Within the limitations of the Plan,
the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding options or may accept the
cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) 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, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under
such Option.

     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.

ARTICLE 6.     PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.

     GENERAL RULE. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon
exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents when such
Common Shares are purchased, except that the Committee may accept payment in any
form(s) described in this Article 6.

     SURRENDER OF STOCK. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is applicable,
payment for all or any part of the Exercise Price may be made with Common Shares
which are already owned by the Optionee. Such Common Shares shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Common Shares are purchased
under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender Common Shares in payment of the
Exercise Price if such surrender would cause the Company to recognize
compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting
purposes.

     EXERCISE/SALE. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is applicable, payment
may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an
irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell
Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in
payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

     EXERCISE/PLEDGE. To the extent that this Section 6.4 is applicable, payment
may be made by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an
irrevocable direction to pledge Common Shares to a securities broker or lender
approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of
the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price
and any withholding taxes.

     PROMISSORY NOTE. To the extent that this Section 6.5 is applicable, payment
may be made with a full-recourse promissory note; provided that the par value of
the Common Shares shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents.

     OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. To the extent that this Section 6.6 is applicable,
payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws,
regulations and rules.

<PAGE>   7

ARTICLE  7.    RESTRICTED SHARES.

     TIME, AMOUNT AND FORM OF AWARDS. Awards under the Plan may be granted in
the form of Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares may also be awarded in
combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the Restricted
Shares will be forfeited in the event that the related Options are exercised.

     PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of
newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient, as a condition to the grant
of such Award, shall be required to pay the Company in cash or cash equivalents
an amount equal to the par value of such Restricted Shares. To the extent that
an Award is granted in the form of Restricted Shares from the Company's
treasury, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients. Any
amount not paid in cash may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note.

     VESTING CONDITIONS. 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 Stock Award Agreement. A Stock
Award 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 or 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.

     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 Stock Award 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.


ARTICLE 8.     PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

     ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a declaration of
an extraordinary 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 (a) the number of Options
and Restricted Shares available for future Awards under Article 3, (b) the
number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (c) the Exercise
Price under each outstanding Option. Except as provided in this Article 8, 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.

     DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Optionee as soon as
reasonably practicable and in any event before the effective date of such
proposed transaction. The

<PAGE>   8

Committee in its discretion may provide that each Optionee shall have the right
to exercise some or all of his or her Options until the date 10 days before such
proposed transaction, including Common Shares as to which the Options otherwise
would not be exercisable. In addition, the Committee may provide that any
Company repurchase right applicable to any Common Shares purchased upon exercise
of an Option or to any Restricted Shares shall lapse as to some or all of such
Common Shares, provided that the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place
at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent not previously
exercised, Options shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed transaction.

     REORGANIZATIONS. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or
other reorganization, outstanding Options and Restricted Shares shall be subject
to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide,
without limitation, for the continuation of outstanding Awards by the Company
(if the Company is a surviving corporation), for their assumption by the
surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, for the substitution by the
surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for such
Awards, for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in
cash or cash equivalents.

ARTICLE 9.     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 Restricted Shares
and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available for the
grant of Restricted Shares under Article 3.

ARTICLE 10.    LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

     RETENTION RIGHTS. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan
shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee or
Consultant. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the
right to terminate the service of any Employee or Consultant at any time, with
or without cause, subject to applicable laws.

     STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares
covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such
Common Shares is issued or, in the case of an Option, the time when he or she
becomes entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing a notice of exercise
and paying the Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or
other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as
expressly provided in the Plan.

     REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the Plan shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any
regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict,
in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior
to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such
Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an
exemption from registration, qualification or listing.

ARTICLE 11.    WITHHOLDING TAXES.

     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. 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.

ARTICLE 12.    FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

     TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on
January 20, 1997. The Plan shall remain in effect until it is terminated under
Section 12.2.

     AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board may, at any time and for any reason,
amend or terminate the Plan. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the
