connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies for use at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") or at any adjournment
thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Annual Meeting will be held on February 6, 2001 at 10:00 a.m., local time,
at the Wyndham Hotel, 250 Racket Club Road, Weston, Florida 33326. This Proxy
Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, the proxy card and our Annual Report on
Form 10-K to Stockholders were mailed to our stockholders on or about January

         It is proposed that at the Annual Meeting: (i) three Class II directors
will be elected, (ii) Kellstrom's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") will
be approved and adopted, (iii) an amendment to Kellstrom's 1998 Stock Purchase
Plan will be approved and adopted (the "1998 Stock Purchase Plan"), and (iv) the
reappointment of KPMG LLP as our independent certified public accountants for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 will be ratified. Management currently
is not aware of any other matters which will come before the Annual Meeting. If
any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons
designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment on
such matters.

         Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by our Board
of Directors. Proxies will be solicited chiefly by mail; however, certain or our
officers, directors, employees and agents, none of whom will receive additional
compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram or other
personal contact. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of the proxies,
including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable
expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial
owners of shares of Common Stock.

REVOCABILITY AND VOTING OF PROXY

         A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for
the proxy are enclosed. Shares of Common Stock represented by properly executed
proxies, which are received by us prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted in
accordance with the instructions specified in such proxies. If no specifications
are given, the proxies intend to vote the shares represented thereby "for" the
election of each of the nominees for director as shown on the form of proxy,
"for" the other proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and in
accordance with their best judgment on any other matters which may properly come
before the meeting. Stockholders may revoke the

<PAGE>   5



authority granted by their execution of a proxy at any time prior to the
effective exercise of the powers conferred by that proxy, by delivering to our
Secretary a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date, or by voting in person at the Meeting.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS

         Only stockholders of record at the close of business on January 4, 2000
(the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting
or any adjournment thereof. On the Record Date, there were _____ shares of
Common Stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote upon each of the
matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. The holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will
be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but
will not be counted with respect to the specific matter being voted upon.
"Broker non-votes" are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in
person or represented by proxy, but which are not permitted to be voted on a
particular matter in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners of
the shares. Abstentions from voting as to any proposal will be counted for the
purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will be
considered present and entitled to vote with respect to the specific matter
being voted upon.

         The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of
Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at
the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. The affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is
required for the approval and adoption of the 2000 Plan, the approval and
adoption of an amendment to the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan, and the ratification
of the reappointment of KPMG LLP. An independent inspector shall count the votes
and ballots. Broker non-votes will have no effect on any of the proposals
brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions from voting on any of the
proposals brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting will have the effect of votes
against the specific matter being voted upon. If less than a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock are represented at the Annual Meeting, a
majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time
to time without further notice.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         MEETINGS OF THE BOARD. The Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") holds meetings when necessary and otherwise acts by written consent.
Before each Board or Committee meeting, directors are typically furnished with
an agenda and background materials relating to the matters to be discussed.
During 1999, there were twelve (12) Board of Director (the "Board") meetings. In
addition, the Board took action by unanimous written consent on seven (7)
occasions during 1999. General William Lyon was appointed as a new Class I
director in October 1999. Admiral William Crowe was appointed as a Class II
director in March 1999 to fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Gleason's
resignation from the Board at such time. During the fiscal year ended December
31, 1999, all incumbent directors were present in person or by proxy at least
75% of the meetings of the Board and at least 75% of the meetings of each of the
Committees on which they served (during the period that they served as
directors).

         The Executive Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation
Committee are the standing committees of the Board, and may meet concurrently
with the Board's meetings.

         EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The Executive Committee has the responsibility,
between meetings of the Board, to advise and aid our officers in all matters
concerning the management of the business while the Board is not in session. The
Executive Committee met weekly in 1999. The current members of the Executive
Committee are Yoav Stern and Zivi R. Nedivi.

         AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing
assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to corporate
accounting and reporting practices and to maintain a direct line of
communication between the directors and the independent accountants. It reviews
our system of internal audits, selects independent auditors, reviews the scope
and results of the independent audit process and evaluates the adequacy of our
internal accounting procedures. The Audit Committee met three (3) times in 1999.
The current members of the Audit Committee are Niv Harizman, David Jan Mitchell
and Yoav Stern. The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter (see Annex A).

         In accordance with Nasdaq rules, Niv Harizman and David Mitchell are
independent directors. Yoav Stern is not an independent director because he is
the Chairman of the Board and


                                        9


<PAGE>   13



an executive officer of Kellstrom. The Board intends to replace Yoav Stern on
the Audit Committee with a member who is an independent director in accordance
with Nasdaq rules by June 14, 2001, which is the date the Nasdaq rules require
that all audit committee members, rather than a majority, be independent.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

         The following statement made by the Audit Committee shall not be deemed
incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such
acts.

         In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process,
the Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written
statement describing all relationships between the auditors and Kellstrom that
might bear on the auditors' independence consistent with Independence Standards
Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," and
discussed with the auditors their independence from Kellstrom and its
management.

         The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent
auditors all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards,
including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended,
"Communication with Audit Committees" and, with and without management present,
discussed and reviewed the results of the independent auditors' examination of
the financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial
statements of the Corporation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 with
management and the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for
the preparation of Kellstrom's financial statements and the independent auditors
have the responsibility for the examination of those statements.

         Based upon the above-mentioned review and discussions with management
and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that
Kellstrom's audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also recommended the
reappointment, subject to stockholder approval, of KPMG LLP as Kellstrom's
independent auditors and the Board concurred in such recommendation.

         COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The Compensation Committee is responsible for
reviewing our compensation philosophy and programs, recommending to the Board
the compensation to be paid to executive officers, and, at the option of the
Board, administering stock option plans. The Compensation Committee met three
(3) times in 1999. The current members of the Compensation Committee are David
Jan Mitchell and Niv Harizman, each of whom is an "outside director" within the
meaning of Rule 162(m) ("Rule 162(m)") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The following statement made by the Compensation Committee shall not be
deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

         PHILOSOPHY. Kellstrom's executive compensation philosophy is to provide
competitive levels of compensation, integrate the compensation of its executive
officers with the achievement of our annual and long-term performance goals,
reward above average corporate performance, recognize individual initiative and
achievement and assist Kellstrom in attracting and retaining qualified
management. To meet these objectives, the Compensation Committee attempts to set
the compensation of Kellstrom's executive officers at levels that it believes
are competitive with other companies of the same size in Kellstrom's industry,
in light of Kellstrom's current and anticipated performance. The Compensation
Committee endorses the position that equity interest in Kellstrom by management
is beneficial in aligning executive officers' and stockholders' interests in the
enhancement of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that
Kellstrom's unique blend of compensation, performance bonuses and stock option
awards is essential to attract and retain its executive management in order to
maintain and strengthen its competitive position in an industry that is highly
fragmented, rapidly consolidating and characterized by intense competition.

         COMPONENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Compensation of Kellstrom's
executive officers consists of both cash payments and grants of stock options.
The annual cash compensation consists of a base salary and an annual bonus.
Long-term incentives are provided through the grant of stock options.

         BASE SALARIES AND BONUSES. The Compensation Committee attempts to set
base salaries of its executive officers at levels that it believes are
competitive with other companies of the same size in Kellstrom's industry.
Information about appropriate salary levels has been determined by reviewing the
public disclosure of Kellstrom's competitors and through Kellstrom's recruiting
activities. Except as described below, salaries are reviewed annually, and any
increases are based on competitive practices as well as the performance of
Kellstrom and the executive officer.

         Cash bonuses have been a standard and expected component of
compensation at Kellstrom when Kellstrom has experienced particularly positive
financial results. Kellstrom's bonuses (the


                                       11


<PAGE>   15



"Performance Bonuses") are paid to executives and can vary between $0 and a
maximum dollar amount for each executive (which is pre-determined annually by
the Compensation Committee). The final annual amount of the Performance Bonuses
depends on the profitability of Kellstrom, and has no discretionary component.
In March 2000, Performance Bonuses in an aggregate of approximately $557,082
were paid to 11 executives of Kellstrom for our 1999 fiscal year as compared to
an aggregate of approximately $1.4 million dollars which were paid to our
executives for our 1998 fiscal year.

         All of Kellstrom's executive officers are parties to employment
agreements with Kellstrom. Each employment agreement provides for a base salary
and a specified bonus based upon Kellstrom achieving minimum target net income
levels during its fiscal year.

         STOCK OPTIONS. Kellstrom is operating in a unique environment in which
Kellstrom's relatively small number of employees (consisting of less than 20
executives and less than 350 employees as of December 31, 1999) make the daily
decisions that directly affect Kellstrom's operational and financial results.
Kellstrom continually strives to build and maintain a team comprised of the best
executives and employees in their field by offering the most attractive work
environment and performance based compensation packages available. The
Compensation Committee believes that Kellstrom's stock option plans are an
essential component of Kellstrom's compensation package which promote the
interests of Kellstrom and stockholders by strengthening Kellstrom's ability to
attract, retain and incentivize competent employees and executives and making
service on Kellstrom's Board of Directors more attractive to present and
prospective non-employee directors. Such stock option plans encourage stock
ownership and proprietary interest in Kellstrom by the individuals upon whose
judgment, initiative and efforts the financial success and growth of Kellstrom
largely depend.

         Kellstrom has historically granted stock options to its executive
officers as an inducement for employment and as part of employee compensation
packages. The Compensation Committee (or the Board) has the authority to
determine the individuals to whom stock options are awarded, the terms at which
option grants are made, the duration of the options and the number of shares
subject to each option. The size of the option grants are generally based on the
position level of the recipient, the executive's capabilities as determined by
his or her performance during the two to three quarters preceding the grant and,
in particular, the executive's projected future contribution to Kellstrom and
the need to incentivize him or her by means of a vesting schedule that
encourages continued long-term commitment to Kellstrom. Through the award of
stock options, the objective of aligning executive officers' long range
interests with those of the stockholders is met by providing the executive
officers with the opportunity to build a meaningful stake in Kellstrom. All of
Kellstrom's outstanding stock options have an exercise price at least equal to
the fair market value of Kellstrom's Common Stock on the day of the grant.
Kellstrom's 1998 Stock Option Plan prohibits, granting any options with exercise
prices less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the
grant. Kellstrom's 2000 Stock Option Plan will, if its adoption is approved by
Kellstrom's stockholders, prohibits granting any options with an exercisable
price less than the higher of (i) the unweighted average of the daily closing
prices per share of Common Stock for the


                                       12


<PAGE>   16



20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of grant and (ii) the closing
price per share of Common Stock for the trading day preceding the date of grant.

         It is the Compensation Committee's intention that, over time,
compensation opportunities from option grants will constitute a significant
portion of each executive officer's total compensation. However, there are no
automatic annual grants to executive offices. Instead, the Compensation
Committee (or the Board) reviews the performance of Kellstrom overall and of
each individual executive officer, as well as past option grants to each
executive officer, and makes decisions about recipients and grant sizes for the
year. Kellstrom's awards of stock options serve as a key mechanism to attract
and retain experienced executives in the industry. Kellstrom believes that its
option grants to date have enabled Kellstrom to provide executives compensation
levels which equal or exceed those offered by its competitors. Therefore,
Kellstrom believes that its stock option plans are a substantial and essential
component of Kellstrom's ability to maintain its competitive position in its
industry.

         Since Kellstrom's formation in early 1994, Kellstrom has granted stock
options for the purchase of an aggregate of approximately 2,988,165 shares of
Common Stock, representing approximately 14.6% of the diluted weighted average
shares of Common Stock outstanding. Such granted options have vested as to
approximately 2,338,443 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 11.4% of the
diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding.

         COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. The Compensation Committee
considered a number of factors in determining the compensation to be paid to
Kellstrom's Chief Executive Officer, including levels generally paid to
executives in Kellstrom's industry, the capabilities of the Chief Executive
Officer and his projected contribution to Kellstrom's performance on a short-
and long-term basis.

         COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 162(M). Kellstrom will continue to analyze its
executive compensation practices and plans on an ongoing basis with respect to
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Where it deems advisable, Kellstrom
will take the appropriate action to maintain the tax deductibility of its
executive compensation.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         All directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
attending Board meetings or for otherwise acting on our behalf. Messrs. Nedivi
and Stern did not receive any compensation for service as our directors beyond
that paid to them under their respective Employment Agreements on account of
their services as our executive officers. During 1999, the other directors each
received stock options on account of their service as our directors to purchase
30,000 shares each at an exercise price of $19.00 per share.

         The options granted to our directors in 1999 were granted under our
1998 Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"). During 1999, the 1998 Plan was
administered by the Board and by the Compensation Committee. Under the 1998
Plan, options are granted by the Board or the Compensation Committee on such
terms and at such prices as may be determined by the Board or the Compensation
Committee, except that the exercise price per share of stock options may not be
less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the time of grant.
Each option is for a term of not more than 10 years and vests at such time or
times and during such period as determined by the Board or the Compensation
Committee. Under the terms of the 1998 Plan, in the event of our change in
control (as defined in such plans), unless otherwise determined by the Board,
the purchaser of our assets or stock may, in its sole discretion, deliver the
same consideration as is delivered to our stockholders as a result of such
transaction or the Board may cancel all outstanding options in exchange for cash
or other consideration equal in value to the value of the consideration that the
option holder would have received had the option been exercised (to the extent
then exercisable) prior to such transaction, less the exercise price therefor.
Upon any such transaction, the Plan provides that all outstanding options
generally become immediately exercisable in full.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         NEDIVI EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. We entered into an Employment Agreement
with Mr. Nedivi, effective as of March 30, 1999 and amended as of December 27,
1999, pursuant to which Mr. Nedivi is employed as our President and Chief
Executive Officer. The Employment Agreement provides for the employment of Mr.
Nedivi through December 31, 2004, at an annual base salary of $480,000, subject
to annual review and upward adjustment, and a bonus of between $0 and an amount
equal to 150% of the then-current salary, based upon our net income during each
calendar year in relation to our target net income, as determined in advance by
the Compensation Committee, for such year. In addition, the Employment Agreement
provides that Mr. Nedivi will be paid severance equal to two years of the
then-current base salary, plus an amount equal to the bonus paid to Mr. Nedivi
on account of each of the two then-preceding calendar years, if employment is
terminated without cause. Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Nedivi may not
compete with us during the term of the Agreement or for three years following
termination other than involuntary termination or termination by Mr. Nedivi for
good reason (as defined therein). Under the terms of the Employment Agreement,
we continue to pay the premium on a life insurance policy on the life of Mr.
Nedivi which had been maintained by us and transferred to Mr. Nedivi.

         STERN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. We entered into an Employment Agreement

and December 27, 1999, pursuant to which Mr. Stern is employed as our Chairman
through December 31, 2004, on substantially the same terms as those included in
the Employment Agreement with Mr. Nedivi. Under the terms of such Employment
Agreement, Mr. Stern is responsible for the development and implementation of
the strategic plans for the growth and development of our business and
operations, including overseeing all aspects of our mergers and acquisitions
activities (including, without limitation, analyzing, structuring, negotiating
and effecting acquisitions and integrating newly acquired businesses with our
business and operations).

         GLEASON EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. We entered into an Amended and Restated
Employment Agreement with Mr. Gleason, effective as of July 1, 2000, pursuant to
which Mr. Gleason is employed as one of our executive officer's. The agreement,
as amended, provides for the employment of Mr. Gleason through July 1, 2005, at
an annual base salary of $265,000, subject to annual review and upward
adjustment, and a bonus for the calendar year ending December 31, 2000 of
between $0 and $187,500, and for such calendar year during the Employment Period
(as defined therein) commencing with the year ending December 31, 2001, of
between $0 and $205,000, based upon our net income and of our Kellcad division
during each calendar year in relation to our target net incomes and the Kellcad
division, respectively, as determined in advance by the Compensation Committee,
for such year. If Mr. Gleason's employment is terminated without cause, the
employment agreement provides that Mr. Gleason will be paid a severance payment
equal to four months of his base salary, provided that if termination is in
connection with a change of control, Mr. Gleason will be paid an amount equal to
twelve months of his base salary. A change of control is defined in the
agreement as (i) any transaction which results in our stockholders of Kellstrom
immediately before the transaction ceasing to own at least 51% of our voting
stock or of the entity which results from the transaction, (ii) a merger,
consolidation or other transaction where we are not the surviving entity or
(iii) a disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. Under the
Employment Agreement, Mr. Gleason may not compete with us during the term of the
Employment Agreement or for two years following termination other than
involuntary termination or termination by Mr. Gleason for good reason (as
defined therein). Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, we maintain a
life insurance policy on the life of Mr. Gleason in the amount of $2 million,
and transferred such policy without consideration to Mr. Gleason in January 1999
pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement.

         VON HUSEN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. We entered into an Employment Agreement
with Mr. von Husen, effective as of October 25, 1996 and amended as of December
27, 1999, pursuant to which Mr. von Husen is employed as one of our executive
officers. The agreement provides for the employment of Mr. von Husen through
January 15, 2002, at an annual base salary of $190,000, subject to annual review
and upward adjustment, and a bonus of between $0 and $135,000, based upon our
net income during each calendar year in relation to our target net income, as
determined in advance by the Compensation Committee, for such year. If Mr. von
Husen's employment is terminated without cause, the Employment Agreement
provides that Mr. von Husen will be paid severance payment equal to four months
of his base salary, provided that if termination is in


                                       18


<PAGE>   22



connection with a change of control (as previously defined), Mr. von Husen will
be paid an amount equal to eight months of his base salary. Under the Employment
Agreement, Mr. von Husen may not compete with us during the term of the
Agreement or for two years following termination other than involuntary
termination (in which case the non-compete period expires one year after
termination), termination in the event of a change of control (in which case the
non-compete period expires six months after termination) or termination by Mr.
von Husen for good reason (as defined therein).

         VAISMAN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. We (through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Integrated Technology Holdings Corp.) entered into an Employment Agreement with
Mr. Vaisman, effective as of February 27, 1998 and amended as of September 15,
1998, pursuant to which Mr. Vaisman was employed as one of our executive
officers through January 1, 2000. The agreement, as amended, originally provided
for the employment of Mr. Vaisman through April 1, 2001, at an annual base
salary of $200,000, subject to annual review and upward adjustment, and a bonus
of between $0 and $150,000. Mr. Vaisman was also granted options to purchase
150,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Employment Agreement. Under the
Employment Agreement, unless we are determined to be in default of our
obligation to make certain payments under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to
which we purchased the assets of Integrated Technologies Corp., Mr. Vaisman may
not compete with us during the term of the Agreement or for two years following
termination other than termination by Mr. Vaisman for good reason (as defined
therein). Effective as of January 1, 2000, we entered into an agreement with Mr.
Vaisman pursuant to which the Employment Agreement was terminated, and Mr.
Vaisman was retained by us as a consultant for a period of three months. In
connection with the termination of the Employment Agreement, the stock options
previously granted to Mr. Vaisman were also terminated. The restrictions on
competition by Mr. Vaisman under the Employment Agreement remain in effect in
accordance with their original terms.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON STOCK OPTION REPRICING AND EXTENSION OF
VESTING SCHEDULES

         STOCK OPTION REPRICING. In early October 1999, we faced a significant
decline in the market price of our Common Stock, while our financial and
operating performance remained strong. As a result, a significant portion of the
stock options previously issued to executive officers and other employees,
including a large number of such options which were to vest that month, had
exercise prices which exceeded the then-current market value of the underlying
shares. In an effort to continue to incentivize executive officers and other
employees while securing their long-term commitment to us, the Board, in lieu of
granting additional options to existing executives and employees, approved the
repricing of certain previously granted options to reflect the then-current
market price of our Common Stock. We offered all our executive officers and
other employees and directors who held options which had been granted under our
1995, 1996 and 1997 Stock Option Plans the opportunity to exchange outstanding
options having an exercise price above $10.125, the closing price of a share of
Common Stock on October 8, 1999, for a corresponding number of options having an
exercise price of $10.125. We also offered this opportunity to certain
individuals


                                       19


<PAGE>   23



(including an executive officer) who held options granted outside of such stock
option plans.

         EXTENSION OF VESTING SCHEDULES OF STOCK OPTIONS. We used the October
1999 repricing as an opportunity to secure the long term commitment of employees
electing to exchange such options by requiring that the vesting schedules on the
unvested portions of the new options would be extended by, in general, fifty
percent (50%).

         SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTION REPRICING. The following table sets forth
certain information with respect to the repricing and extension of vesting
schedules of certain stock options held by our executive officers.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The following is a summary of certain agreements and transactions
between or among Kellstrom and certain related parties. It is our policy to
enter into transactions with related parties on terms that, on the whole, are no
less favorable than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties. It
is also our policy to submit any such proposed transactions to a committee of
independent directors for review and approval. Based on our experience in the
industries in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with
unaffiliated parties, it is our belief that all of the transactions described
below involving us met that standard at the time such transactions were
effected.

         We have previously engaged Helix Management Company II, L.L.C.
("Helix"), a company which had been controlled by Messrs. Stern and Nedivi, to
act as our exclusive financial advisor with respect to merger and acquisition
transactions and as principal financial adviser with respect to other
transactions for a term that commenced effective January 1, 1997. We terminated
the agreement with Helix effective as of March 30, 1999, pursuant to a
Termination Agreement (the "Helix Termination Agreement"). Under the terms of
the original agreement with Helix, entered into as of March 28, 1997, Helix
received a monthly retainer of $25,000 and a success fee that was determined by
us and Helix on a per transaction basis, but not less than 2% of the aggregate
consideration paid in connection with the applicable transaction. Payments under
the agreement with Helix were in lieu of any fees payable to Mr. Stern as our
Chairman of the Board. A significant portion of the retainer was paid by Helix
to Mr. Stern, who as our Chairman of the Board actively participates in leading
business development efforts and our strategic growth and direction. As a result
of ownership interests held by Messrs. Stern and Nedivi in Helix, a portion of
the transaction fees paid by us to Helix were distributed by Helix to Messrs.
Stern and Nedivi during 1999. We paid Helix $1.5 million in connection with
certain merger and acquisition transactions that occurred during 1999. Under the
terms of the Helix Termination Agreement, we were required to pay Helix success
fees only in those transactions procured by Helix which had either been
consummated or signed prior to the date of termination. Helix waived all other
fees to which it may have been entitled, including monthly retainer fees on
account of the ninety day period following termination and success fees on
account of any transactions procured by Helix and undertaken by us within one
year of termination. Helix also agreed to provide, for no additional
consideration, such assistance to us (including access to its members and
employees and copies of its records and files) as necessary to assure an orderly
transition in the services previously provided by Helix.

         Until March 30, 1999, we were a party to a management agreement with
East Shore Ventures, Inc. ("East Shore"), an entity wholly owned by Mr. Nedivi,
pursuant to which Mr. Nedivi provided the services of Chief Executive Officer to
us. The Management Agreement provided for an annual base fee of $240,000,
subject to annual review and upward adjustment, and a bonus of between $0 and
$360,000, depending solely on our profitability. Under the terms of the
Management Agreement, we maintained a life insurance policy on the life of Mr.
Nedivi in the amount of $4 million, which policy was transferred without
consideration to Mr. Nedivi in January 1999 pursuant to the terms of such
Management Agreement. We entered into a Termination Agreement with East Shore
effective as of March 30, 1999, pursuant to which the parties agreed to
terminate the


                                       22


<PAGE>   26



Management Agreement and agreed that East Shore would only be paid management
fees and related benefits prorated through the date of termination.

         We have from time to time loaned money to certain of our executive
officers and directors for the purpose of purchasing shares of Common Stock in
the open market (including loans pursuant to our 1998 Stock Purchase Plan which
was approved by our stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), or
pursuant to the terms of employment agreements between us and our executive
officers. The following table sets forth, with respect to each executive officer
or director who was indebted to us in an amount in excess of $60,000 at any time
since January 1, 1999, the largest aggregate amount of indebtedness outstanding
at any time during such period, the date such indebtedness was incurred, the
amount thereof outstanding as of December 1, 2000, the rate of interest charged
thereon and the nature of the loan.

(1)      These loans were granted for the purpose of purchasing shares of Common
         Stock on the open market. Such loans are payable over four years for
         employees or five years for directors at an interest rate based on the
         "Applicable Federal Rate" at the time of the loan. Accrued interest is
         to be paid annually in arrears beginning on the first anniversary of
         the date of the loan. The loans provide for mandatory prepayment if the
         officer or director sells any shares of our Common Stock. While the
         loans are unsecured, officers and directors are obligated to repay such
         loans in full regardless of the market value of the Common Stock upon
         any such sale.

(2)      These loans were granted pursuant to the terms of the Employment
         Agreement between Kellstrom and Mr. Zelcer dated February 1, 1999.
         Interest accrues on the loans at an interest rate based on the
         "Applicable Federal Rate" at the time of the loan. On May 25, 2000, the
         Employment Agreement was amended to provide that on May 28, 2000, May
         28, 2001 and May 28, 2002, provided that Mr. Zelcer is then employed by
         Kellstrom, $25,000 of the principal amount of each loan will be
         forgiven, together with any interest which shall have accrued on the
         loan during such year. The Employment Agreement further provides that
         in the event of the termination of the Employment Agreement prior to
         the end of the Employment Period (as defined therein), the full
         principal amount of the loans then outstanding, together with all
         accrued interest thereon, will be immediately due and payable.

(3)      This loan was granted pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement
         between Kellstrom and Mr. Hogan dated October 6, 1999. Interest accrues
         on the loan at an interest rate based on the "Applicable Federal Rate"
         at the time of the loan. The Employment Agreement provides that at the
         end of each of the first, second and third yearly anniversaries of the
         commencement of Mr. Hogan's employment under the Employment Agreement,
         provided that Mr. Hogan is then employed by us, $50,000 of the
         principal amount of the loan will be forgiven, together with any
         interest which shall have accrued on the loan during such year. The
         Employment Agreement further provides that in the event of the
         termination of the Employment Agreement prior to the end of the
         Employment Period (as defined therein), the full principal amount of
         the loans then outstanding, together with all accrued interest thereon,
         will be immediately due and payable.

                  SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING

         The Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and
beneficial owners of more than 10% of a class of our equity securities to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"). Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5,
and amendments thereto, furnished to us during our most recent fiscal year,
except for one report disclosing no transactions filed by Robert Hogan and one
report disclosing one transaction filed by William J. Crowe, we believe that
during the year ended December 31, 1999, all reporting persons timely complied
with all filing requirements applicable to them.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Board is divided into two classes, each of which serves for a term
of two years, with only one class of directors being elected in each year. The
term of office of the Class II directors, presently consisting of Admiral
William J. Crowe, Jr., Zivi R. Nedivi and Yoav Stern, will expire at the Annual
Meeting, and the term of office of the Class I directors, presently consisting
of Niv Harizman, General William Lyon and David Jan Mitchell, will expire at the
next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. In each case, a director will
hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders at which his class of
directors is to be elected.

         Unless otherwise specified, the enclosed proxy will be voted in favor
of Messrs. Crowe, Nedivi and Stern (each of whom is currently one of our
director's) to serve until the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders
and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and
qualified. If any of these nominees becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a
vacancy should occur before the election, the shares represented by the proxy
will be voted for the person, if any, who is designated by the Board to replace
the nominee or to fill the vacancy on the Board. All nominees have consented to
be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected. The Board has no
reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve or that any
vacancy on the Board will occur.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2
                            ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF
                             2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         Our 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan") was adopted by the Board
effective as of December ___, 2000, subject to stockholder approval at the
Annual Meeting, to provide for the grant of options to purchase shares of Common
Stock to our employees, and to outside members of the Board as an incentive for
their service on the Board.

         The Board believes that stock options are important to promote the
interest of the Company and its stockholders. Options strengthen the Company's
ability to attract and retain competent executives and other employees and make
service on the Company's Board more attractive to present and prospective
non-employee directors. Options also provide a way to encourage stock ownership
and proprietary interest in Kellstrom by non-employee directors and valued
executives and other employees upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the
Company's financial success and growth largely depend. While we have granted a
significant number of options under our existing stock option plans, very few
of these options have been exercised. At present, these options have an average
exercise price of approximately $10.00, which exercise price is substantially
above the current share price of our Common Stock. The Board continues to
believe that our stock option plans are an essential component of our
compensation package which enables us to attract and retain qualified management
in order to maintain and strengthen our competitive position in an industry that
is highly fragmented, rapidly consolidating and characterized by intense
competition. Given the average exercise price of our outstanding options, these
options do not provide the incentives which management believes are necessary to
attract and retain competent executives and employees and to make service on our
Board attractive to our present and prospective non-employee directors. The
proposed options would enable the Company to incentivize and attract employees
and outside directors while minimizing the cash and other compensation which the
Company would otherwise have to incur.

         The adoption of the 2000 Plan is subject to stockholder approval at the
Annual Meeting. Stockholder approval will allow us to obtain a tax deduction for
the full amount allowable with respect to the exercise of options granted under
the Plan and will provide us with the flexibility to grant options qualifying as
incentive stock options for tax purposes ("incentive options").

         THE PRINCIPAL PROVISIONS OF THE 2000 PLAN ARE SUMMARIZED BELOW. SUCH
SUMMARY DOES NOT, HOWEVER, PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS
ENTIRETY BY THE TERMS OF THE 2000 PLAN. A COPY OF THE 2000 PLAN IS ATTACHED
HERETO AS ANNEX A AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The 2000 Plan provides that options may be granted to employees of
Kellstrom or any of our subsidiaries, or to non-employee members of our Board. A
total of One Million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock are reserved for
issuance under the 2000 Plan. Based on the closing price of $2.781 for a share
of Common Stock on December 20, 2000, the aggregate value of the shares reserved
for issuance under the 2000 Plan is $2,781,000. The 2000 Plan will terminate 10
years after the Effective Date and no options may be granted under the 2000 Plan
thereafter.


                                       26


<PAGE>   30



         The 2000 Plan may be administered by the Board or a committee (the
"Committee") consisting of not less than two non-employee directors appointed by
the Board. The Board or the Committee selects the persons to whom options will
be granted.

         The exercise price of options granted under the 2000 Plan shall be as
determined by the Board or the Committee, provided, however, that the exercise
price may not be less than the higher of (i) the unweighted average of the daily
closing prices per share of Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days
prior to the date of grant and (ii) the closing price per share of Common Stock
for the trading day preceding the date of grant (and provided that in the case
of an incentive stock option granted to an optionee beneficially owning more
than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, the exercise price may not be less
than the higher of (i) the unweighted average of the daily closing prices per
share of Common Stock for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of
grant and (ii) 110% of the closing price per share of Common Stock for the
trading day preceding the date of grant). The maximum option term is 10 years
(or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an optionee
beneficially owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock) from the date
the option is granted. Options vest and become exercisable at such time or times
and during such period as determined by the Board or the Committee as provided
in the particular option agreement.

         In the event of our Change in Control (as defined in the 2000 Plan),
unless otherwise determined by the Board, the purchaser in such transaction may,
in its discretion, deliver to the option grantees the same kind of consideration
delivered to our stockholders in such transaction, or the Board may cancel all
outstanding options in exchange for cash or other consideration, in each case
equal in value to the value of consideration the grantee would have received had
the option been exercised, less the exercise price therefor. In addition, upon
any Change in Control, notwithstanding any provisions in the 2000 Plan or in a
particular option agreement to the contrary, all outstanding options issued
under the 2000 Plan immediately become exercisable (except that under certain
such circumstances the Board has the discretion whether to accelerate the
exercisability of such options). Under the 2000 Plan, a Change in Control is
defined, in general, as the occurrence of any of the following: (1) a
liquidation or dissolution of us, or the sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of our assets, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or
other transaction or series of transactions which results in our stockholders
immediately prior thereto no longer owning more than 50% of the combined voting
power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
reorganized, merged or consolidated company's then outstanding voting
securities, (2) the acquisition by any person (or group) who prior to such time
owned less than 50% of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in
the election of directors of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the combined
voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, (3) the
failure of the individuals who constituted the Board as of the Effective Date
(as defined in the 2000 Plan) to constitute at least a majority of the Board, or
(4) the acquisition by any person, entity or group of beneficial ownership of
19% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or of the combined
voting power of our then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors.

         If any grantee's employment with us or a subsidiary terminates by
reason of death or permanent disability, options held by such grantee which are
then exercisable may be exercised for


                                       27


<PAGE>   31



a period of 12 months from the date such grantee ceases to perform services for
us (but not later than the date the option would otherwise expire). If any
grantee's employment with us or a subsidiary is terminated by us for cause or
because the grantee is in breach of any employment agreement or if the grantee
resigns, options held by such grantee shall terminate on the date the grantee
ceases to perform services for us. If any grantee's employment with us or a
subsidiary terminates for any other reason, options held by such grantee which
are then exercisable may be exercised for a period of three months after the
date of such termination (but not later than the date the option would otherwise
expire). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in the 2000 Plan or
individual option agreement to the contrary, the Board may provide, in its
discretion, that a grantee may exercise an option, in whole or in part, at any
time subsequent to grantee's termination of employment or service with us and
prior to the expiration of the option in accordance with its terms, either
subject to or without regard to any vesting or other limitation on exercise
imposed under the 2000 Plan. Payment for shares of Common Stock purchased under
options granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan may generally be made in cash or in
shares of Common Stock.

         If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of our shares or securities or another
corporation by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, or
stock dividend payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment will be made in
the number and kinds of shares subject to the 2000 Plan, and in the number,
kinds and per share exercise price of shares subject to outstanding options
granted under the 2000 Plan. Any such adjustment in an outstanding option,
however, will be made without a change in the total price applicable to the
unexercised portion of the option, and with a corresponding adjustment in the
exercise price per share.

         The Board may at any time terminate or make such modification of the
2000 Plan as it deems advisable, provided, however, that (i) the Board may not,
without approval by a majority vote of our stockholders, increase the maximum
number of shares for which options may be granted or change the designation of
the class of persons eligible to receive options under the 2000 Plan, and (ii)
any modification or amendment of the 2000 Plan shall be subject to the approval
of our stockholders if such approval is necessary to comply with federal or
state law (including without limitation Rule 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or applicable stock exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed.
Unless previously terminated, the 2000 Plan will terminate automatically on
___________, 2010, the tenth anniversary of the date of adoption of the 2000
Plan by the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the 2000 Plan, no
termination, modification or amendment of the 2000 Plan may, without the consent
of the person to whom an option has been granted, adversely affect the rights of
the holder of the option.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN

         GENERAL

         The following discussion is a summary of some of the principal federal
income tax consequences of stock option grants under the Plan and recipients of
grants under the Plan should


                                       28


<PAGE>   32



consult with their personal tax advisors with respect to such grants and
transactions in stock acquired pursuant to the Plan.

         The grant of an option is not a taxable event for the optionee or us.

         NON-QUALIFYING OPTIONS

         Upon exercising a non-qualifying option, an optionee will recognize
ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price
and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. If we
comply with applicable reporting requirements, it will be entitled to a business
expense deduction in the same amount. Non-qualifying options under the Plan are
intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to "qualified
performance-related compensation") under the Code, so that we should be entitled
to deduct the full amount of such compensation income without regard to the
$1,000,000 limitation imposed on the deduction of annual compensation paid to
each of the chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated
officers of a publicly held corporation. Upon a taxable disposition of shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of non-qualifying option, the optionee will
have taxable gain or loss, measured by the difference between the amount
realized on the disposition and the tax basis of the shares (generally, the
amount paid for the shares plus the amount treated as ordinary income at the
time the option was exercised).

         If the optionee surrenders shares of Common Stock in payment of part or
all of the exercise price for non-qualifying options, no gain or loss will be
recognized with respect to the shares surrendered and the optionee will be
treated as receiving an equivalent number of shares pursuant to the exercise of
the option in a non-taxable exchange. The basis of the shares surrendered will
be treated as the substituted tax basis for an equivalent number of option
shares received. However, the fair market value of any shares received in excess
of the number of shares surrendered will be taxed as ordinary income.

         INCENTIVE OPTIONS

         Upon exercising an incentive option, an optionee will not recognize
taxable income and any gain realized upon a disposition of shares received
pursuant to the exercise of an incentive option will be taxed as long-term
capital gain if the optionee holds the shares for at least two years after the
date of grant and for one year after the date of exercise of the option.
However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares subject to an
incentive option on the exercise date over the option exercise price will be
included in the optionee's alternative minimum taxable income in the year of
exercise for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. An optionee may be
entitled to a credit against regular tax liability in future years for minimum
taxes paid with respect to the exercise of incentive options. We and our its
subsidiaries and affiliates will not be entitled to any business expense
deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an incentive option, except
as discussed below.

         For the exercise of any incentive option to qualify for the foregoing
tax treatment, the optionee generally must be our employee or our subsidiaries
employed from the date the option is granted through a date within three months
before the date of exercise. In the case of an optionee who is disabled, this
three-month period is extended to one year. In the case of an employee who


                                       29


<PAGE>   33



dies, the three-month period and the holding period for shares received pursuant
to the exercise of the option are waived.

         If all of the foregoing requirements for incentive option treatment are
met except for the special holding period rules set forth above, the optionee
will recognize ordinary income upon the disposition of the shares in an amount
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time the
option was exercised over the option exercise price. The balance of the realized
gain, if any, will be long- or short-term capital gain, depending upon whether
or not the shares were sold more than one year after the option was exercised.
If the optionee sells the shares prior to the satisfaction of the holding period
rules but at a price below the fair market value of the shares at the time the
option was exercised (or other applicable measurement date), the amount of
ordinary income (and the amount included in alternative minimum taxable income,
if the sale occurs during the same year as the option was exercised) will be
limited to the excess of the amount realized on the sale over the option
exercise price. If we comply with applicable (if any) reporting requirements, it
will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent the optionee
recognizes ordinary income.

         If an optionee exercises an incentive option by tendering shares of
Common Stock with a fair market value equal to part or all of the option
exercise price, the exchange of shares generally will be treated as a
non-taxable exchange (except that this treatment would not apply if the optionee
had acquired the shares being transferred pursuant to the exercise of an
incentive option and had not satisfied the special holding period requirements
summarized above). If the exercise is treated as a tax-free exchange, the
optionee would have no taxable income from the exchange and exercise (other than
minimum taxable income as discussed above) and the tax basis of the shares
exchanged would be treated as the substituted basis for the shares received. If
the optionee used shares received pursuant to the exercise of an incentive
option (or another statutory option) as to which the optionee had not satisfied
the applicable holding period requirement, the exchange would be treated as a
taxable disqualifying disposition of the exchanged shares, with the result that
the excess of the fair market value of the shares tendered over the optionee's
basis in the shares would be taxable.

OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN

         As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we have not granted any options
under the 2000 Plan.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION

         Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total shares of Common
Stock present at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting is required to approve and adopt the 2000 Plan.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL AND
ADOPTION OF THE PLAN. PROXY CARDS EXECUTED AND RETURNED WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS
CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED THEREON.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 3
                         APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
                            1998 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

         An amendment to our 1998 Stock Purchase Plan increasing the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of loans to $4 million at any given time and
providing for the purchase of any of our securities was adopted by the Board on
December 8, 2000, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
Currently, the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan allows the Board to approve loans in the
aggregate outstanding amount of up to $3 million to certain of our employees,
officers, and directors for purposes of purchasing our common stock. Any loans
granted thereunder shall be unsecured with full recourse, and shall be payable
over four years for employees and five years for directors at an interest rate
based on the "Applicable Federal Rate" at the time of loan. Accrued interest
shall be paid annually in arrears beginning on the first anniversary of the date
of the loan. Such loans shall be subject to mandatory prepayment by the borrower
upon any sale of the securities securing such loan. The aggregate amount of
outstanding loans granted under the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan to any employee,
officer or director shall not exceed $1 million. Of the $3 million aggregate
outstanding amount currently authorized, approximately $1.7 million is
outstanding as of December 15, 2000.

         The Board believes that the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan is important to
promote our interests and the interests of our stockholders by strengthening our
ability to encourage ownership and proprietary interest in Kellstrom by
officers, non-employee directors and valued employees and other individuals upon
whose judgment, initiative and efforts for our financial success and growth
largely depend. The Board believes that, by encouraging purchases of securities
by employees, officers and directors through the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan, we
are increasing the likelihood that the interests of our management will more
closely align with the interests of our stockholders. The Board believes that
the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan serves as an integral component of our compensation
package which enables us to attract and retain qualified management in order to
maintain and strengthen our competitive position in an industry that is highly
fragmented, rapidly consolidating and characterized by intense compensation.

VOTE REQUIRED AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION

         Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of total shares of Common Stock
voted at the Annual Meeting is required to approve and adopt the amendment to
the 1998 Stock Purchase Plan.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL AND
ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE 1998 STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. PROXY CARDS EXECUTED
AND RETURNED WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED
THEREON.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DEEMS PROPOSAL NO.  4 TO BE IN THE BEST

VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL THEREOF.  PROXIES EXECUTED AND RETURNED WILL

         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has not been implicated.

         include:

         (a)      Any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work,
                  including any restrictions on the scope of activities or

to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate
and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the
responsibility of management and the independent auditor. Nor is it the duty of
the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any,
between management and the independent auditor or to assure compliance with laws
and regulations and the Company's accounting policies and procedures.

                KELLSTROM INDUSTRIES, INC. 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN

1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

         The purpose of the Kellstrom Industries, Inc. 2000 Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") is to promote the interests of Kellstrom Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and its stockholders by strengthening the
Company's ability to attract and retain competent employees, to make service on
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") more attractive to present
and prospective non-employee directors of the Company and to provide a means to
encourage stock ownership and proprietary interest in the Company by executives,
non-employee directors and valued employees and other individuals upon whose
judgment, initiative and efforts the financial success and growth of the Company
largely depend. The Plan became effective on ________________, by resolution of
the Board. The Plan is subject to ratification by a majority vote of the
stockholders of the Company at its 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

2.       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         (a)      The total number of shares of the authorized but unissued or
                  treasury shares of the common stock, $.001 par value per
                  share, of the Company ("Common Stock") for which options may
                  be granted under the Plan shall be One Million (1,000,000),
                  which shares may be of any class of Common Stock; provided,
                  however, that such number of shares may from time to time be
                  reduced to the extent that a corresponding number of issued
                  and outstanding shares of Common Stock are purchased by the
                  Company and set aside for issue upon the exercise of options.

         (b)      If an option granted or assumed hereunder shall expire or
                  terminate for any reason without having been exercised in
                  full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be
                  available for subsequent option grants under the Plan.

         (c)      Stock issuable upon exercise of an option granted under the
                  Plan may be subject to such restrictions on transfer,
                  repurchase rights or other restrictions as shall be determined
                  by the Board.

3.       ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

         The Plan shall be administered by the Board. No member of the Board
shall act upon any matter exclusively affecting an option granted or to be
granted to himself or herself under the Plan. The decision of the Board as to
all questions of interpretation and application of the Plan shall be final,
binding and conclusive on all persons. The Board may, in its sole discretion,
grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock and issue shares upon exercise
of such options, as provided in


                                        1


<PAGE>   40



the Plan. The Board shall have authority, subject to the express provisions of
the Plan, to construe the respective option agreements and the Plan, to
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to
determine the terms and provisions of the respective option agreements, which
may but need not be identical, and to make all other determinations in the
judgment of the Board necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan.
The Board may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or in any option agreement in the manner and to the
extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and shall be the
sole and final judge of such expediency. No director shall be liable for any
action or determination made in good faith. The Board may, in its discretion,
delegate its power, duties and responsibilities to a committee (the
"Committee"), consisting of two or more members of the Board. If a Committee is
so appointed, all references to the Board in Sections 3, 4, 8, 9 and 10 hereof
shall mean and relate to such Committee, unless the context otherwise requires.
The membership of the Committee shall be constituted so as to comply at all
times with the then applicable requirements for an "outside director" under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and
the regulations thereunder and as a "Non-Employee Director" under Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). The Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall have the
powers designated herein and such other powers as the Board may from time to
time confer upon it.

4.       TYPE OF OPTIONS.

         Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be authorized by action of
the Board and may be designated as either incentive stock options meeting the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code, or non-qualified options which are not
intended to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the designation to
be in the sole discretion of the Board. Options designated as incentive stock
options that fail to continue to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code shall be redesignated as non-qualified options automatically on the date of
such failure to continue to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code
without further action by the Board.

5.       ELIGIBILITY.

         Options designated as incentive stock options may be granted only to
newly-hired executives and other employees of the Company or of any subsidiary
corporation (herein called "subsidiary" or "subsidiaries"), as defined in
Section 424 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the
"Regulations"). Directors who are not otherwise employees of the Company or a
subsidiary shall not be eligible to be granted incentive stock options pursuant
to the Plan. Options designated as nonqualified options may be granted to (i)
newly-hired executives and other employees of the Company or of any of its
subsidiaries, or (ii) non-employee directors of the Company.

         In determining the eligibility of an individual to be granted an
option, as well as in determining the number of shares to be optioned to any
individual, the Board shall take into account the recommendation of the
Company's Chairman, the position and responsibilities of the individual being
considered, the nature and value to the Company or its subsidiaries of his or
her service and


                                        2


<PAGE>   41



accomplishments, his or her present and potential contribution to the success of
the Company or its subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Board may deem
relevant.

6.       RESTRICTIONS ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

         Incentive stock options (but not non-qualified options) granted under
this Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions:

         (a)      LIMITATION ON NUMBER OF SHARES. The aggregate fair market
                  value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which
                  incentive stock options are granted, determined as of the date
                  the incentive stock options are granted, exercisable for the
                  first time by an individual during any calendar year shall not
                  exceed $100,000. If an incentive stock option is granted
                  pursuant to which the aggregate fair market value of shares
                  with respect to which it first becomes exercisable in any
                  calendar year by an individual exceeds such $100,000
                  limitation, the portion of such option which is in excess of
                  the $100,000 limitation, and any such options issued
                  subsequently in the same calendar year, shall be treated as a
                  non-qualified option pursuant to Section 422(d)(1) of the
                  Code. In the event that an individual is eligible to
                  participate in any other stock option plan of the Company or
                  any parent or subsidiary of the Company which is also intended
                  to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, such
                  $100,000 limitation shall apply to the aggregate number of
                  shares for which incentive stock options may be granted under
                  this Plan and all such other plans.

         (b)      TEN PERCENT (10%) STOCKHOLDER. If any employee to whom an
                  incentive stock option is granted pursuant to the provisions
                  of this Plan is on the date of grant the owner of stock (as
                  determined under Section 424(d) of the Code) possessing more
                  than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
                  stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the
                  Company, then the following special provisions shall be
                  applicable to the incentive stock options granted to such
                  individual:

                  (i)      The option price per share subject to such incentive
                           stock options shall be not less than the higher of
                           (i) the unweighted average of the daily closing
                           prices per share of Common Stock for the 20
                           consecutive trading days prior to the date of grant
                           and (ii) 110% of the closing price per share of
                           Common Stock for the trading day preceding the date
                           of grant; and

                  (ii)     The incentive stock option shall have a term expiring
                           not more than five (5) years from the date of the
                           granting thereof.

         (c)      In determining the fair market value under this Section 6, the
                  provisions of Section 9(c) hereof shall apply.



                                        3


<PAGE>   42



7.       LIMITATION ON GRANT.

         Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and in addition to
any other requirements of this Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock subject to options granted to any one optionee under the Plan may not
exceed 50,000 during any calendar year, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 14 hereof.

8.       OPTION AGREEMENT.

         Each option shall be evidenced by an agreement (the "Agreement") duly
executed on behalf of the Company and by the grantee to whom such option is
granted, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan. The Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions
and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by
the Board, provided that options designated as incentive stock options shall
meet all of the conditions for incentive stock options as deemed in Section 422
of the Code. No option shall be granted within the meaning of the Plan and no
purported grant of any option shall be effective until the Agreement shall have
been duly executed on behalf of the Company and the optionee. More than one
option may be granted to an individual.

9.       OPTION PRICE.

         (a)      The option price or prices of shares of Common Stock for
                  options designated as non-qualified stock options shall be as
                  determined by the Board, provided, however, in no event shall
                  such price be less than the higher of (i) the unweighted
                  average of the daily closing prices per share of Common Stock
                  for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of
                  grant.

         (b)      Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof,
                  the option price or prices of shares of Common Stock for
                  options designated as incentive stock options shall not be
                  less than the higher of (i) the unweighted average of the
                  daily closing prices per share of Common Stock for the 20
                  consecutive trading days prior to the date of grant and (ii)
                  the closing price per share of Common Stock for the trading
                  day preceding the date of grant (and provided that in the case
                  of an incentive stock option granted to an Optionee
                  beneficially owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common
                  Stock, the exercise price may not be less than the higher of
                  (i) the unweighted average of the daily closing prices per
                  share of Common Stock for the



                                        4


<PAGE>   43



                  20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of grant and
                  (iii) 110% of the closing price per share of Common Stock for
                  the trading day preceding the date of grant).

10.      MANNER OF PAYMENT, MANNER OF EXERCISE.

         (a)      Options granted under the Plan may provide for the payment of
                  the exercise price by delivery of (i) cash or a check payable
                  to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise
                  price of such options, (ii) shares of Common Stock owned by
                  the optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the
                  exercise price of such options, or (iii) any combination of
                  (i) and (ii); provided, however, that payment of the exercise
                  price by delivery of shares of Common Stock owned by such
                  optionee may be made only upon the condition that such payment
                  does not result in a charge to earnings for financial
                  accounting purposes as determined by the Board, unless such
                  condition is waived by the Board. The fair market value of any
                  shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of
                  an option shall be determined by the Board in accordance with
                  Section 9(c) hereof.

         (b)      To the extent that the right to purchase shares under an
                  option has accrued and is in effect, options may be exercised
                  in full at one time or in part from time to time, by giving
                  written notice, signed by the person or persons exercising the
                  option, to the Company, stating the number of shares with
                  respect to which the option is being exercised, accompanied by
                  payment in full for such shares as provided in subparagraph
                  (a) above. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for
                  paid-up non-assessable shares shall be made at the principal
                  office of the Company to the person or persons exercising the
                  option at such time, during ordinary business hours, after
                  three (3) days but not more than ninety (90) days from the
                  date of receipt of the notice by the Company, as shall be
                  designated in such notice, or at such time, place and manner
                  as may be agreed upon by the Company and the person or persons
                  exercising the option.

11.      EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

         Each option granted under the Plan shall, subject to Section 12(b)
hereof, be exercisable at such time or times and during such period as shall be
set forth in the Agreement; provided, however, that no option granted under the
Plan shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years from the date of grant. To
the extent that an option is not exercised when it becomes initially
exercisable, it shall not expire but shall be carried forward and shall be
exercisable, on a cumulative basis, until the expiration of the exercise period.
No partial exercise may be made for less than one hundred (100) full shares of
Common Stock.

         (a)      TERM.

                  (i)      Each option shall expire automatically and without
                           notice not more than ten (10) years from the date of
                           the granting thereof, except as (a) otherwise
                           provided pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(b)
                           hereof, and (b) earlier termination as herein
                           provided.

                           option granted to any grantee who ceases to perform
                           services for the Company or one of its subsidiaries
                           shall terminate three months after the date such
                           grantee ceases to perform services for the Company or
                           one of its subsidiaries, or on the date on which the
                           option expires by its terms, whichever occurs first.

                  (iii)    If the grantee ceases to perform services for the
                           Company because of resignation by grantee, dismissal
                           for cause or a breach of any employment agreement by
                           grantee, such option will terminate on the date the
                           grantee ceases to perform services for the Company or
                           one of its subsidiaries.

                  (iv)     If the grantee ceases to perform services for the
                           Company because the grantee has become permanently
                           disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
                           the Code), such option shall terminate twelve months
                           after the date such grantee ceases to perform
                           services for the Company, or on the date on which the
                           option expires by its terms, whichever occurs first.

                  (v)      In the event of the death of any grantee, any option
                           granted to such grantee shall terminate twelve months
                           after the date of death, or on the date on which the
                           option expires by its terms, whichever occurs first.

         (b)      EXERCISABILITY.

                  (i)      Except as provided below and subject to Section 12(a)
                           hereof, an option granted to a grantee who ceases to
                           perform services for the Company or one of its
                           subsidiaries shall be exercisable only to the extent
                           that such option has vested and is in effect on the
                           date such grantee ceases to perform services for the
                           Company or one of its subsidiaries.

                  (ii)     Options granted to a grantee who ceases to perform
                           services for the Company or one of its subsidiaries
                           because he or she has become permanently disabled (as
                           defined above) shall be exercisable for a period of
                           12 months from the date such grantee ceases to
                           perform services for the Company only with respect to
                           the number of shares subject to the options which
                           have vested as


                                        6


<PAGE>   45



                           of the date the grantee ceases to perform services
                           for the Company, and may be exercised by a legal
                           representative on behalf of the grantee;

                  (iii)    In the event of the death of any grantee, the options
                           granted to such grantee shall be exercisable only
                           with respect to the shares subject to the options
                           which have vested on the date of death, and may be
                           exercised by the estate of such grantee, or by any
                           person or persons who acquired the right to exercise
                           such options by bequest or inheritance or by reason
                           of the death of such grantee.

                  (iv)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may provide,
                           in its discretion, that a grantee may exercise an
                           option, in whole or in part, at any time subsequent
                           to termination of employment or service with the
                           Company and prior to termination of the option
                           pursuant to Section 12(a), either subject to or
                           without regard to any vesting or other limitation on
                           exercise imposed hereunder.

13.      TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

         Each Option shall provide that such Option shall not be transferable by
the Optionee, except to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below), whether by
operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution and any Option granted hereunder, except if transferred to a
Permitted Transferee, shall be exercisable during the lifetime of such Optionee
only by such Optionee. Permitted Transferee shall mean (i) a grandparent,
parent, sibling, child of a sibling, grandchild of a sibling, spouse and/or
descendant of such Optionee; (ii) a trust established solely for the benefit of
such Optionee and/or persons set forth in (i); (iii) a corporation whose
shareholders consist solely of such Optionee and/or persons set forth in (i);
(iv) a partnership whose partners consist solely of such Optionee and/or persons
set forth in (i); (v) the guardian or conservator of such Optionee and/or
persons set forth in (i); (vi) if such Optionee is a corporation, the
shareholders of such corporation; or (vii) if such Optionee is a partnership,
the partners of such partnership, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, any Permitted
Transferee first agrees in writing prior to such transfer to become a party to
and abide by the terms and conditions of this Plan, or any agreement governing
the Option, and to hold the Options so transferred subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan (and any amendments hereto) or any agreement governing
the Option.

14.      RECAPITALIZATION, REORGANIZATION AND THE LIKE.

         In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed
into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities
of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization,
merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up,
combination of shares, or dividends payable in capital stock, appropriate
adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(a) of the Code in the
number and kind of shares as to which options may be granted under the Plan and
as to which outstanding options or portions thereof then


                                        7


<PAGE>   46



unexercised shall be exercisable, to the end that the proportionate interest of
the grantee shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event; such
adjustment in outstanding options shall be made without change in the total
price applicable to the unexercised portion of such options and with a
corresponding adjustment in the exercise price per share.

         Notwithstanding any provisions of the prior paragraph of this Section
14 to the contrary, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole
discretion, in the case of any Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) of the
Company, the purchaser(s) of the Company's assets or stock may, in his, her or
its discretion, deliver to the optionee the same kind of consideration that is
delivered to the stockholders of the Company as a result of such Change in
Control, or the Board may cancel all outstanding options in exchange for
consideration in cash or in kind, which consideration in both cases shall be
equal in value to the value of those shares of stock or other securities the
optionee would have received had the option been exercised and no disposition of
the shares acquired upon such exercise been made prior to such Change in
Control, less the exercise price therefor. Upon receipt of such consideration,
the options shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect.
The value of the stock or other securities the grantee would have received if
the option had been exercised shall be determined in good faith by the Board,
and in the case of shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9(c) hereof.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan or the
option agreements executed in connection herewith, upon any Change in Control
under subsection (a), (b) or (c) of the following paragraph, all outstanding
options shall immediately become exercisable. Upon any Change in Control under
subsection (d) of the following paragraph, the Board shall have the power and
right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the exercisability of any
outstanding options. Upon any acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, any
options or portion thereof originally designated as incentive stock options that
no longer qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code as a
result of such acceleration shall be redesignated as non qualified stock
options.

         For purposes hereof, a "Change in Control") shall mean:

         (a)      (i) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other form of
                  corporate transaction or series of transactions, in each case,
                  with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the
                  Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
                  consolidation or other transaction do not, immediately
                  thereafter, own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
                  voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of
                  directors of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company's
                  then outstanding voting securities, or (ii) a liquidation or
                  dissolution of the Company or (iii) the sale, lease, exchange
                  or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
                  of the Company; or

         (b)      the acquisition by any person, or any two or more persons
                  acting as a group, and all affiliates of such person or
                  persons, who prior to such time owned less than fifty percent
                  (50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally
                  in the election


                                        8


<PAGE>   47



                  of directors, of additional voting power in one or more
                  transactions, or series of transactions, such that following
                  such transaction or transactions, such person or group and
                  affiliates beneficially own fifty percent (50%) or more of the
                  combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the
                  election of directors; or

         (c)      individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
                  Company's Board (as of the date hereof the "Incumbent Board")
                  cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
                  Board, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent
                  to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election
                  by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of at
                  least a majority of the directors then comprising the
                  Incumbent Board (other than an election or nomination of an
                  individual whose initial assumption of office is in connection
                  with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
                  election of the Directors of the Company, as such terms are
                  used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
                  Exchange Act) shall be, for purposes of this Agreement,
                  considered as though such person were a member of the
                  Incumbent Board; or

         (d)      the acquisition (other than from the Company or its
                  subsidiaries) by any person, entity or "group", within the
                  meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act,
                  (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or its subsidiaries,
                  or any employee benefit plan of the Company or its
                  subsidiaries) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of
                  Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 19% or more
                  of either the then outstanding shares of the Company's Common
                  Stock or the combined voting power of the Company's then
                  outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in
                  the election of directors.

         If by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of
property or stock, separation, reorganization, or liquidation, the Board shall
authorize the issuance or assumption of a stock option or stock options in a
transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, then, notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, the Board may grant an option or options upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate for the purpose of
assumption of the old option, or substitution of a new option for the old
option, in conformity with the provisions of such Section 424(a) of the Code and
the Regulations thereunder, and any such option shall not reduce the number of
shares otherwise available for issuance under the Plan.

         No fraction of a share shall be purchasable or deliverable upon the
exercise of any option, but in the event any adjustment hereunder in the number
of shares covered by the option shall cause such number to include a fraction of
a share, such fraction shall be adjusted to the nearest smaller whole number of
shares.

15.      NO SPECIAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

         Nothing contained in the Plan or in any option granted under the Plan
shall confer upon any grantee any right with respect to the continuation of his
or her employment by the Company (or any subsidiary) or interfere in any way
with the right of the Company (or any subsidiary), subject to the terms of any
separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such
employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the grantee from the
rate in existence at the time of the grant of an option. Whether an authorized
leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute
termination of employment shall be determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.421-7(h)(2).

16.      WITHHOLDING.

         The Company's obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise of any
non-qualified option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the option
holder's satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and
employment tax withholding requirements. The Company and optionee may agree to
withhold shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an option to satisfy
the above-mentioned withholding requirements; provided, however, that no such
agreement may be made by a grantee who is an "officer") or "director") within
the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, except pursuant to a standing
election to so withhold shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an
option, such election to be made not less than six months prior to such exercise
and which election may be revoked only upon six months prior written notice.

17.      RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

         (a)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10 hereof, the
                  Company may delay the issuance of shares covered by the
                  exercise of an option and the delivery of a certificate for
                  such shares until one of the following conditions shall be
                  satisfied:

                  (i)      The shares with respect to which such option has been
                           exercised are at the time of the issue of such shares
                           effectively registered or qualified under applicable
                           Federal and state securities acts now in force or as
                           hereafter amended; or

                  (ii)     Counsel for the Company shall have given an opinion,
                           which opinion shall not be unreasonably conditioned
                           or withheld, that such shares are exempt from
                           registration and qualification under applicable
                           Federal and state securities acts now in force or as
                           hereafter amended.

         (b)      It is intended that all exercises of options shall be
                  effective, and the Company shall use its best efforts to bring
                  about compliance with the above conditions, within a
                  reasonable time, except that the Company shall be under no
                  obligation to qualify shares or to cause a registration
                  statement or a post-effective amendment to any


                                       10


<PAGE>   49



                  registration statement to be prepared for the purpose of
                  covering the issue of shares in respect of which any option
                  may be exercised, except as otherwise agreed to by the Company
                  in writing.

18.      PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT, RIGHTS OF HOLDER ON SUBSEQUENT REGISTRATION.

         Unless the shares to be issued upon exercise of an option granted under
the Plan have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any
shares covered by any option unless the person who exercises such option, in
whole or in part, shall give a written representation and undertaking to the
Company which is satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Company and
upon which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely,
that he or she is acquiring the shares issued pursuant to such exercise of the
option for his or her own account as an investment and not with a view to, or
for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such shares, and that he or
she will make no transfer of the same except in compliance with any rules and
regulations in force at the time of such transfer under the 1933 Act, or any
other applicable law, and that if shares are issued without such registration, a
legend to this effect may be endorsed upon the securities so issued.

         In the event that the Company shall, nevertheless, deem it necessary or
desirable to register under the 1933 Act or other applicable statutes any shares
with respect to which an option shall have been exercised, or to qualify any
such shares for exception from the 1933 Act or other applicable statutes, then
the Company may take such action and may require from each grantee such
information in writing for use in any registration statement, supplementary
registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or offering circular
as is reasonably necessary for such purpose and may require reasonable indemnity
to the Company and its officers and directors from such holder against all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising from such use of the information
so furnished and caused by any untrue statement of any material fact therein or
caused by the omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made.

19.      INTERPRETATION.

         (a)      As it is the intent of the Company that the Plan comply in all
                  respects with Rule 16b- 3 promulgated under the Exchange Act
                  and Section 162(m) of the Code, any ambiguities or
                  inconsistencies in construction of the Plan shall be
                  interpreted to give effect to such intention, and if any
                  provision of the Plan is found not to be in compliance with
                  Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m), such provision shall be deemed
                  null and void to the extent required to permit the Plan to
                  comply with Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m). The Committee or
                  the Board may from time to time adopt rules and regulations
                  under, and amend, the Plan in furtherance of the intent of the
                  foregoing.

         (b)      The Plan shall be administered and interpreted so that all
                  incentive stock options granted under the Plan will qualify as
                  incentive stock options under Section 422 of


                                       11


<PAGE>   50



                  Code. If any provision of the Plan should be held invalid for
                  the granting of incentive stock options or illegal for any
                  reason, such determination shall not affect the remaining
                  provisions hereof, but instead the Plan shall be construed and
                  enforced as if such provision had never been included in the
                  Plan.

         (c)      This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of
                  Delaware.

         (d)      Headings contained in this Plan are for convenience only and
                  shall in no manner be construed as part of this Plan.

         (e)      Any reference to the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender
                  shall be a reference to such other gender as is appropriate.

20.      LOANS.

         At the discretion of the Board, the Company may loan to the optionee
some or all of the purchase price of the shares acquired upon exercise of an
option granted under the Plan.

21.      MODIFICATION OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS.

         Subject to limitations contained herein, the Board may authorize the
amendment of any outstanding option with the consent of the grantee when and
subject to such conditions as are deemed to be in the best interests of the
Company and in accordance with the purposes of the Plan.

22.      TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN.

         Unless sooner terminated as herein provided, the Plan shall terminate
on November 15, 2008. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan or make such
modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, that
(i) the Board may not, without approval by a majority vote of the stockholders
of the Company, increase the maximum number of shares for which options may be
granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive
options under the Plan, and (ii) any modification or amendment of the Plan shall
be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders if such stockholder
approval is necessary to comply with federal or state law (including without
limitation Rule 162(m) of the Code and Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) or
applicable stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common
Stock may then be listed. Except to the extent provided in Sections 12 and 14
hereof, termination or any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not,
without the consent of an optionee, affect his or her rights under an option
theretofore granted to him or her.

23.      LIMITATION OF RIGHTS IN THE UNDERLYING SHARES.

         A holder of an option shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a
stockholder of the Company with respect to such option except to the extent that
such option shall have been exercised


                                       12


<PAGE>   51


with respect thereto and, in addition, a stock certificate shall have been
issued theretofore and delivered to the holder. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such stock certificate is issued, except as expressly provided in
Section 14 hereof.

24.      NOTICES.

         Any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the
Plan shall be in writing, and mailed by registered or certified mail or
delivered by hand, if to the Company, to its principal place of business,
attention: Chairman, and, if to the holder of an option, to the address as
appearing on the records of the Company.
