                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The consolidated condensed financial statements for the three months
       ended April 2, 1999 reflect the results of operations of Dal-Tile
       International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"). Due
       to the Company's 52/53 week accounting cycle, the first quarter of 1999
       ended on April 2, 1999.

       The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
       have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
       principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation
       S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
       footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
       complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these
       financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
       recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
       results of operations and cash flow. The results of operations for the
       three months ended April 2, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
       results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. For
       further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
       footnotes thereto included in the January 1, 1999 annual report on Form
       10-K of the Company.

       Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
       presentation.

2.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Basic earnings per share are based on the average number of shares
       outstanding during each period presented. Diluted earnings per share are
       based on the average number of shares outstanding including any dilutive
       effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.

3.     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

       Total comprehensive income includes net income and foreign currency
       translation adjustments. For the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, total
       comprehensive income (loss) was $11,208 and ($1,974), respectively.

6.     INCOME TAXES

       The income tax provision reflects effective tax rates of 10% and 58% 
       for the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, 
       respectively. These rates reflect expected Mexico tax liabilities and 
       U.S. state and possession taxes based on estimated taxable income in 
       those jurisdictions. The decrease in effective rate for the first 
       quarter of 1999 versus 1998 was due to increased levels of pretax 
       income, which primarily effect the federal tax jurisdiction. No U.S. 
       federal income tax expense was recorded in the first quarter of 1999 
       or 1998 due to an offset by a valuation allowance against U.S. federal 
       deferred tax assets recorded during 1997. The requirement for a valuation
       allowance will continue to be reassessed in future reporting periods.

7.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

       The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and
       regulations relating to the environment and to work places. Laws that
       affect or could affect the Company's United States operations include,
       among others, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
       Conservation and Recovery Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
       The Company believes that it is currently in substantial compliance with
       such laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

       The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental
       matters. The Company, 


                                       9
<PAGE>

       in the past, has disposed or arranged for the disposal of substances 
       which are now characterized as hazardous and currently is engaged in 
       the cleanup of hazardous substances at certain sites. It is the 
       Company's policy to accrue liabilities for remedial investigations and 
       cleanup activities when it is probable that such liabilities have been 
       incurred and when they can be reasonably estimated. The Company has 
       provided reserves which management believes are adequate to cover 
       probable and estimable liabilities of the Company with respect to such 
       investigations and cleanup activities, taking into account currently 
       available information and the Company's contractual rights of 
       indemnification. However, estimates of future response costs are 
       necessarily imprecise due to, among other things, the possible 
       identification of presently unknown sites, the scope of contamination 
       of such sites, the allocation of costs among other potentially 
       responsible parties with respect to any such sites and the ability of 
       such parties to satisfy their share of liability. Accordingly, there 
       can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in 
       future litigation or other proceedings or, if the Company were found 
       to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such 
       costs would not be material to the Company.

       The Company is also a defendant in various lawsuits arising from normal
       business activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability
       likely to result from the contingencies described above is not expected
       to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
       condition, results of operations or liquidity.

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


During the first quarter of 1999, the Company continued the positive momentum
generated during fiscal year 1998 as it reported record quarterly revenues and
improved profitability. Operating margin continued to improve through increased
capacity utilitization and reductions in transportation and operating costs. Net
income increased for the fourth consecutive quarter versus prior years
comparable quarters. For the remainder of 1999, the Company plans an extensive
roll-out of new products servicing both the commercial and residential markets.
New product lines will be distributed through the Company-operated sales centers
and to the independent distributor and home center channels. In addition, the
Company will continue efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations through
additional manufacturing efficiencies, improved material prices and overall cost
reductions within the Company's value-added cycles.

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the three months
ended April 2, 1999 compared with the three months ended April 3, 1998 for
Dal-Tile International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company").
Due to the Company's 52/53 week accounting cycle, the first quarter of 1999
ended on April 2, 1999.

NET SALES

Net sales for the first quarter of 1999 increased $14.9 million, or 8.0%, to
$200.7 million from $185.8 million in 1998. The increase was due primarily to
increased sales volume through the Company-operated sales centers, which
increased 13.1% compared to the prior year quarter. Net sales increased 7.7%
through the home center services channel and decreased 11.1% within the
independent distributor channel. First quarter 1998 net sales to independent
distributors included a one time sale of inventories of approximately $3.5
million related to the sale of three remaining American Olean stores. Excluding
this sale of inventories, first quarter 1999 net sales to independent
distributors were comparable to 1998.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the first quarter of 1999 increased $9.4 million, or 10.8%, to
$96.7 million from $87.3 million in 1998 principally as a result of increased
sales volume. Gross margin increased in the first quarter of 1999 to 48.2% from
47.0% in the first quarter of 1998. The increase was due to higher sales and
lower manufacturing costs.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 1999 increased $0.9 million, or 1.2%,
to $74.3 million from $73.4 million in the first quarter of 1998. This increase
was due primarily to additional spending related to new product introductions
and higher costs associated with the growth in sales. Operating expenses as a
percent of sales in the first quarter of 1999 improved to 37.0% from 39.5% in
1998. The decrease was due primarily to higher sales and reductions in general
and administrative costs. In addition, transportation costs decreased from 7.8%
of sales to 7.0% due to improvements in inventory positioning and lower freight
rates from carrier consolidation.


                                      11
<PAGE>

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income in the first quarter of 1999 increased $8.4 million, or 60.0%,
to $22.4 million from $14.0 million in the first quarter of 1998. Operating
margin improved to 11.2% in the first quarter of 1999 from 7.5% in 1998 due
primarily to higher sales and decreased manufacturing and general and
administrative expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE (NET)

Interest expense (net) in the first quarter of 1999 decreased $1.4 million, or
12.1%, to $10.2 million from $11.6 million in the first quarter of 1998. This
decrease was due to reduced borrowing requirements on the Company's credit
facility and related reductions in interest rates and fees.

 INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision reflects effective tax rates of approximately 10% and
58% for the first quarter of 1999 and 1998, respectively. These rates reflect
expected Mexico tax liabilities and U.S. state and possession taxes based on
estimated taxable income in those jurisdictions. The decrease in effective rate
for the first quarter of 1999 versus 1998 was due to increased levels of pretax
income, which primarily effect the federal tax jurisdiction. No U.S. federal
income tax expense was recorded for the first quarter of 1999 or 1998 due to an
offset by a valuation allowance against U.S. federal deferred tax assets
recorded during 1997. The requirement for a valuation allowance will continue to
be reassessed in future reporting periods.

NET INCOME

Net income in the first quarter of 1999 increased to $11.1 million from $0.8
million in the first quarter of 1998. Net income increased due to higher gross
profit and operating income and reduced interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from operations and funds available under the Company's bank credit
agreement (the "Third Amended Credit Facility") continue to provide the Company
with liquidity and capital resources for working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and debt service. For the three months ended April 2, 1999, cash
provided by operating activities was $13.2 million compared to $7.5 million for
the same period in 1998. The improvement in operating cash flow was due to
increased profitability compared to the first quarter of 1998.

Net expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $3.8 million for the
first quarter of 1999 compared to cash provided of $3.3 million in the first
quarter of 1998. Net cash provided in 1998 included $8.1 million of net cash
proceeds from the sale of the Lansdale, PA manufacturing facility. Expenditures
for the first quarter of 1999 included costs for multiple projects to improve
manufacturing, distribution and information systems. Capital expenditures during
the remainder of 1999 will be comprised of routine capital improvements and
continued costs to upgrade production capacity, distribution facilities and
information systems.


                                      12
<PAGE>

Cash used in financing activities was $9.7 million for the first quarter of
1999, which reflects term debt amortization on the Company's Third Amended
Credit Facility of $10.3 million. Total availability under the Third Amended
Credit Facility as of April 2, 1999 was $82.8 million.

Although the Company believes cash flow from operating activities, together with
borrowings available under the Third Amended Credit Facility, will be sufficient
to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt service
requirements, the Company is constantly pursuing opportunities to improve its
capital structure and may seek alternative financing arrangements.

The peso fluctuation and economic uncertainties in Mexico are not expected to
have a significant impact on the Company's liquidity. Since the Company has no
peso-based borrowings, high interest rates in Mexico are not expected to
directly affect the Company's liquidity. Any future devaluation of the peso
against the U.S. dollar may adversely affect the Company's results of operations
or financial condition.

The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters
and is currently engaged in environmental investigation and remediation programs
at certain sites. The Company has provided reserves for remedial investigation
and cleanup activities that the Company has determined to be both probable and
reasonably estimable. The Company is entitled to indemnification with respect to
certain expenditures incurred in connection with such environmental matters and
does not expect that the ultimate liability with respect to such investigation
and remediation activities will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
liquidity and financial condition.

The United States is a party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
("GATT"). Under GATT, the United States currently imposes import duties on
ceramic tile from non-North American countries at no more than 15%, to be
reduced ratably to 8 1/2% by 2004. Accordingly, GATT may stimulate competition
from non-North American manufacturers who now export, or who may seek to export,
ceramic tile to the United States. The Company cannot predict with certainty the
effect that GATT may have on the Company's operations.

In 1993, Mexico, the United States and Canada approved the North American Free
Trade Agreement ("NAFTA"). NAFTA has, among other things, removed and will
continue to remove, over a transition period, most normal customs duties imposed
on goods traded among the three countries. In addition, NAFTA will remove or
limit many investment restrictions, liberalize trade in services, provide a
specialized means for settlement of, and remedies for, trade disputes arising
thereunder, and will result in new laws and regulations to further these goals.
Although NAFTA lowers the tariffs imposed on the Company's ceramic tile
manufactured in Mexico and sold in the United States, it also may stimulate
competition in the United States and Canada from manufacturers located in
Mexico. The United States currently imposes import duties on ceramic tile from
Mexico of approximately 12%, although these duties on imports from Mexico are
being phased out ratably under NAFTA by 2008. It is uncertain what ultimate
effect NAFTA will have on the Company's results of operations.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

The Company believes it has generally been able to increase productivity to
offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in the U.S. and Mexico.
Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of operations
during the three months ended April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998. However, any
future increases in the inflation rate, and any increases in interest rates
which affect financing costs, may negatively affect the Company's results of
operations.


                                      13
<PAGE>

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

Some of the Company's computer programs were written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. As a result, those computer programs
have time-sensitive software that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could cause system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in normal business
activities.

The Company is continuing its efforts to modify and replace certain portions of
its software and equipment so that its computer systems will function properly
with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The total Year 2000 cost
is estimated at approximately $5.4 million and will be expensed as incurred. To
date, the Company has completed the updating of "mission critical" software for
Year 2000 date processing and has implemented these changes into the day-to-day
business systems. In addition, customers, suppliers and carriers have been
required to certify their readiness for Year 2000. Through the end of the first
quarter of 1999, expenses totaling $4.0 million were incurred for Year 2000
activities.

The testing of all "mission critical" software and equipment, including the
testing of interrelationships of all components is estimated to be completed no
later than the second quarter of 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact
on the Company's operating systems. Less critical activities, including the
upgrade of stand-alone equipment and monitoring of supplier and carrier
progress, will continue for the balance of 1999. The Company believes that, with
modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year
2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer
systems. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not
completed in a timely manner, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on operations.

The cost of the project and the date by which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources and other factors. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that
might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, non-performance of key software and
hardware vendors and similar uncertainties.

In addition, material disruptions to the operations of the Company's major
customers and suppliers as a result of Year 2000 issues could also have a
material adverse impact on the Company's operations and financial condition. At
present, the Company is preparing a detailed Year 2000 contingency plan. The
contingency plan will include a more definitive risk assessment related to major
customers and suppliers and how the Company plans to mitigate such risk. The
plan is expected to be in place by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective for fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for
the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The
statement requires capitalization of certain costs incurred in the development
of internal-use software, including external direct material and service costs,
employee payroll and payroll-related costs and capitalized interest. Prior to
adoption of SOP 98-


                                      14
<PAGE>

1, the Company expensed these costs as incurred. The effect of this change in 
accounting principle on earnings in 1999 is not expected to be material.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"),
which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because
of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, management does not anticipate that
the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a significant effect on earnings or the
financial position of the Company.

                                     ARTICLE III
                            ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

       3.01   INITIAL ELIGIBILITY.  Each non-officer employee who shall have
completed six consecutive months of full-time employment with the Company and/or
any Eligible Subsidiary Corporation shall be eligible to participate in
Offerings which commence after such six-month period has concluded, provided he
or she is employed on a full-time basis by the Company or an Eligible Subsidiary
Corporation as of the relevant Offering

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

Commencement Date (any such eligible employee, an "Employee").  Persons who 
are not Employees shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan.

       3.02   RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION.  Notwithstanding any provision 
of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be granted an option to 
purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan:

              (a)    if, immediately after the grant, such Employee would own 
stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing 5% or more 
of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the 
Company (for purposes of this paragraph, the rules of Section 424(d) and 
Section 423(b)(3) of the Code shall apply in determining stock ownership of 
any Employee); or

              (b)    which permits such Employee's rights to purchase stock 
under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company to accrue at a rate 
which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of the Common Stock (determined at 
the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option 
is outstanding at any time.

       3.03   COMMENCEMENT OF PARTICIPATION.  An eligible Employee may become 
a participant by completing an authorization for payroll deductions on the 
form provided by the Company and filing the completed form with the Plan 
Representative on or before the filing date set therefor by the Committee, 
which date shall be prior to the Offering Commencement Date for the next 
following Offering.  Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on 
the next following Offering Commencement Date after the Employee's 
authorization for payroll deductions becomes effective and shall continue 
until termination of the Plan or the participant's earlier termination of 
participation in the Plan. Each participant in the Plan shall be deemed to 
continue participation until termination of the Plan or such participant's 
earlier termination of participation in the Plan pursuant to Article VIII 
below.


                                      ARTICLE IV
                       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN AND OFFERINGS

       4.01   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.  Subject to the provisions of 
Section 12.04, the Company's Board of Directors shall reserve initially for 
issuance under the Plan an aggregate of five hundred thousand (500,000) 
shares of Common Stock, which shares

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

shall be authorized but unissued.  The Company's Board of Directors may from 
time to time reserve additional shares of authorized and unissued Common 
Stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that at no time 
shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved be greater than permitted 
by applicable law.  

       4.02   OFFERINGS.  The Plan will be implemented by two offerings of 
the Common Stock during each twelve-month period (the "Offerings").  For so 
long as the Plan is in effect, an Offering will begin on January 1 and end on 
June 30 and begin on July 1 and end on December 31.  The first day of an 
Offering shall be deemed the "Offering Commencement Date" and the last day 
the "Offering Termination Date" for such Offering.


                                      ARTICLE V
                                  PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

       5.01   AMOUNT OF DEDUCTION.  The form described in Section 3.03 will 
permit a participant to elect payroll deductions of any whole percentage from 
one percent (1%) through ten percent (10%) of such participant's Compensation 
for each pay period during an Offering.  

       
       5.02   PARTICIPANT'S ACCOUNT.  All payroll deductions made for a 
participant shall be credited to an account established for such participant 
under the Plan. A participant may not make any separate cash payment into 
such account.

       5.03   CHANGES IN PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.  A participant may reduce or 
increase future payroll deductions (within the limits described in Section 
5.01) by filing with the Plan Representative a form provided by the Company 
for such purpose.  The effective date of any increase or reduction in future 
payroll deductions will be the first day of the next Offering following 
processing of the change form.  A participant may increase or reduce the 
amount of his or her payroll deductions only once with respect to any 
Offering.

                                      ARTICLE VI
                                  GRANTING OF OPTION

       6.01   NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES.  On the Offering Commencement Date 
(for each Offering), each participating Employee shall be deemed to have been 
granted an option to purchase a maximum number of shares of Common Stock the 
fair market value of which is equal to (i) that percentage of the Employee's 
Compensation which the Employee has elected to have withheld (but not in any 
case in excess of 10%) multiplied by (ii) the Employee's Compensation during 
the Offering then divided by (iii) the applicable Offering Price determined 
as provided in Section 6.02 below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a participant may purchase 
pursuant to an Offering is three thousand (3000).

       6.02   OPTION PRICE.  The option price of stock purchased with payroll 
deductions made during any Offering (the "Offering Price") for a participant 
therein shall be the lower of:

              (a)    85% of the closing price of the stock on the Offering 
Commencement Date for such Offering or the nearest prior business day on 
which trading occurred on the New York Stock Exchange; or

              (b)    85% of the closing price on the Offering Termination 
Date for such Offering or the nearest prior business day on which trading 
occurred on the New York Stock Exchange.  If the Common Stock of the Company 
is not admitted to trading on any of the aforesaid dates for which closing 
prices of the stock are to be determined, then reference shall be made to the 
fair market value of the stock on each such date, as determined on such basis 
as shall be established or specified by the Committee.


                                     ARTICLE VII
                                  EXERCISE OF OPTION

       7.01   AUTOMATIC EXERCISE.  Subject to Section 6.01, each Plan 
participant's option for the purchase of stock with payroll deductions made 
during any Offering will be deemed to have been exercised automatically on 
the applicable Offering Termination Date for the purchase of the number of 
full shares of Common Stock which the

                                       -5-
<PAGE>

accumulated payroll deductions in the participant's account at the time will 
purchase at the applicable Offering Price.

       7.02   WITHDRAWAL OF ACCOUNT.  No participant in the Plan shall be
entitled to withdraw any amount from the accumulated payroll deductions in his
or her account; provided, however, that a participant's accumulated payroll
deductions shall be refunded to the participant as and to the extent specified
in Section 8.01 below upon termination of such participant's participation in
the Plan.

       7.03   FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Fractional shares of Common Stock will not 
be issued under the Plan.  Any accumulated payroll deductions which would 
have been used to purchase fractional shares, unless refunded pursuant to 
Section 7.02 above, will be held for the purchase of Common Stock in the next 
following Offering, without interest. 

       7.04   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  During a participant's lifetime, options 
held by such participant shall be exercisable only by such participant.

       7.05   DELIVERY OF STOCK.  As promptly as practicable after the 
Offering Termination Date of each Offering, the Company will deliver to each 
participant in such Offering, as appropriate, the shares of Common Stock 
purchased therein upon exercise of such participant's option.  The Company 
may deliver such shares in certificated or book entry form, at the Company's 
sole election.  The Company may require a participant to dispose of the 
shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan through one or more 
brokers designated by the Company.

       7.06   STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.  The Plan is intended to satisfy 
the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.  A participant will not obtain 
the benefits of this provision if such participant disposes of shares of 
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan within two (2) years from the 
applicable Offering Commencement Date.


                                     ARTICLE VIII
                                      WITHDRAWAL

       8.01   IN GENERAL.  A participant may stop participating in the Plan 
at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Representative.  Upon 
processing of any such written notice, no further payroll deductions will be 
made from the participant's Compensation

                                       -6-
<PAGE>

during such Offering or thereafter, unless and until such participant elects 
to resume participation.  Such participant's payroll deductions accumulated 
prior to processing of such notice to stop participation shall be applied 
toward purchasing full shares of Common Stock in the then-current Offering as 
provided in Section 7.01 above.  Any cash balance remaining after the 
purchase of shares in such Offering shall be refunded promptly to such 
participant.  A participant may elect to resume participation in the Plan by 
providing written notice to the Plan Representative pursuant to Section 3.03 
above.  Such election to resume participation shall be effective as of the 
first Offering commencing following the processing of such election.

       8.02   EFFECT ON SUBSEQUENT PARTICIPATION.  A participant's withdrawal 
from any Offering will not have any effect upon such participant's 
eligibility to participate in any succeeding Offering or in any similar plan 
which may hereafter be adopted by the Company and for which such participant 
is otherwise eligible.

       8.03   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  Upon termination of a participant's 
employment with the Company or any Eligible Subsidiary Corporation (as the 
case may be) for any reason, including retirement or death, the participant's 
payroll deductions accumulated prior to such termination, if any, shall be 
applied toward purchasing full shares of Common Stock in the then-current 
Offering, and any cash balance remaining after the purchase of shares in such 
Offering shall be refunded to him or her, or, in the case of his or her 
death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.01, and his 
or her participation in the Plan shall be deemed to be terminated.


                                      ARTICLE IX
                                       INTEREST

       9.01   PAYMENT OF INTEREST.  No interest will be paid or allowed on 
any money paid into the Plan or credited to the account of or distributed to 
any participant.

                                        STOCK

       10.01  PARTICIPANT'S INTEREST IN OPTION STOCK.  No participant will 
have any interest in shares of Common Stock covered by any option held by 
such participant until such option has been exercised as provided in Section 
7.01 above.

       10.02  REGISTRATION OF STOCK.  Shares of Common Stock purchased by a 
participant under the Plan will be recorded in the books and records of the 
Company in the name of the participant. 

       10.03  RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.  The Board of Directors of the 
Company may, in its discretion, require as conditions to the exercise of any 
option that the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the 
exercise of such option shall have been duly listed, upon official notice of 
issuance, upon a stock exchange or market, and that either:

              (a)    a registration statement under the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, with respect to said shares shall be effective, or

              (b)    the participant shall have represented at the time of 
purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that it is his 
or her intention to purchase the shares for investment and not for resale or 
distribution.


                                      ARTICLE XI
                                    ADMINISTRATION

       11.01  APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE.  The Board of Directors of the 
Company shall appoint a committee (the "Committee") to administer the Plan, 
which shall consist solely of no fewer than two "non-employee directors" (as 
defined in Rule 16b-3(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended).

       11.02  AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE.  Subject to the express provisions of 
the Plan, the Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion to 
interpret and construe any and all provisions of the Plan, to adopt rules and 
regulations for administering the Plan, and to

                                       -8-
<PAGE>

make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering 
the Plan.  The Committee's determination of the foregoing matters shall be 
conclusive.

       11.03  RULES GOVERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMMITTEE.  The Board 
of Directors of the Company may from time to time appoint members of the 
Committee in substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed 
and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee.  The Committee may 
select one of its members as its chairman, shall hold its meetings at such 
times and places as it shall deem advisable, and may hold telephonic 
meetings.  All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of 
its members.  A decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by a 
majority of the members of the Committee shall be as fully effective as if it 
had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held.  The 
Committee may appoint a secretary and shall make such rules and regulations 
for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable.  


                                     ARTICLE XII
                                    MISCELLANEOUS

       12.01  DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  A participant may file with the 
Plan Representative a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive 
any shares of Common Stock and/or cash under the Plan upon the participant's 
death. Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant at 
any time by written notice to the Plan Representative.  Upon the death of a 
participant and receipt by the Company of proof of identity and existence at 
the participant's death of a beneficiary validly designated by the 
participant under the Plan, and subject to Article VIII above concerning 
withdrawal from the Plan, the Company shall deliver such shares of Common 
Stock and/or cash to such beneficiary.  In the event of the death of a 
participant lacking a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is 
living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver 
such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the executor or administrator of 
the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has 
been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its 
discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the spouse 
or to any one or more dependents of the participant, in each case without any 
further liability of the Company whatsoever under or relating to the Plan. No 
beneficiary shall, prior to the death of the participant by whom he or she 
has been designated, acquire any interest in the shares of Common Stock 
and/or cash credited to the participant under the Plan.

                                       -9-
<PAGE>

       12.02  TRANSFERABILITY.  Neither payroll deductions credited to any 
participant's account nor any option or rights with regard to the exercise of 
an option or the receipt of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, 
transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way by the participant 
other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any such 
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without 
effect, except that the Company may, in its discretion, treat such act as an 
election to withdraw from participation in the Plan in accordance with 
Section 8.01.

       12.03  USE OF FUNDS.  All payroll deductions received or held by the 
Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose. 
The Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

       12.04  ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  

              (a)    If, while any options are outstanding under the Plan, 
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company have increased, 
decreased, changed into, or been exchanged for a different number or kind of 
shares or securities of the Company through any reorganization, merger, 
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split or 
similar transaction, appropriate and proportionate adjustments may be made by 
the Committee in the number and/or kind of shares which are subject to 
purchase under outstanding options and in the Option Price applicable to such 
outstanding options. In addition, in any such event, the number and/or kind 
of shares which may be offered in the Offerings described in Article IV 
hereof shall also be proportionately adjusted.  

              (b)    Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or 
upon a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company with one or 
more corporations as a result of which the Company is not the surviving 
corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the property or capital 
stock of the Company to another corporation, the holder of each option then 
outstanding under the Plan will thereafter be entitled to receive at the next 
Offering Termination Date, upon the exercise of such option, for each share 
as to which such option shall be exercised, as nearly as reasonably may be 
determined, the cash, securities and/or property which a holder of one share 
of the Common Stock was entitled to receive upon and at the time of such 
transaction.  The Board of Directors of the Company shall take such steps in 
connection with such transactions as it shall deem necessary to assure that 
the provisions of this Section 12.04 shall thereafter be applicable, as 
nearly as reasonably may be determined, in relation to

                                       -10-
<PAGE>

the said cash, securities and/or property as to which each such holder of any 
such option might hereafter be entitled to receive.

       12.05  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.  The Board of Directors of the 
Company shall have complete power and authority to terminate or amend the 
Plan; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall 
not, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, alter (i) the 
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan 
(except pursuant to Section 12.04 above), or (ii) the class of employees 
eligible to receive options under the Plan, other than to designate 
additional Subsidiary Corporations as Eligible Subsidiary Corporations; and 
provided further, however, that no termination, modification, or amendment of 
the Plan may, without the consent of an Employee then having an option under 
the Plan to purchase shares of Common Stock, adversely affect the rights of 
such Employee under such option, except that the foregoing shall not prohibit 
the Company from terminating the Plan at any time (including during an 
Offering) and applying the amounts theretofore withheld from participants to 
the purchase of shares of Common Stock as if the termination date of the Plan 
were an Offering Termination Date.

       12.06  EFFECTIVE DATE.  The Plan shall become effective as of March 1, 
1999, subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of 
Common Stock present and represented at any special or annual meeting of the 
shareholders of the Company duly held within 12 months after adoption of the 
Plan.  If the Plan is not so approved, the Plan shall not become effective. 

       12.07  NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.  The Plan does not, directly or 
indirectly, create in any person any right with respect to continuation of 
employment by the Company or any Subsidiary Corporation, and it shall not be 
deemed to interfere in any way with the Company's or any Subsidiary 
Corporation's right to terminate, or otherwise modify, any Employee's 
employment at any time.

       12.08  EFFECT OF PLAN.  The provisions of the Plan shall, in 
accordance with its terms, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all 
successors of each Employee participating in the Plan, including, without 
limitation, such Employee's estate and the executors, administrators or 
trustees thereof, heirs and legatees, and any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy 
or representative of creditors of such Employee.
