ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "General
Corporation Law") grants each corporation organized thereunder the power to
indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents on certain conditions
against liabilities arising out of any action or proceeding to which any of
them is a party by reason of being such officer, director, employee or agent.
Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation, with the approval of its stockholders, to include within its
certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of its directors to such corporation or its stockholders for monetary
damages resulting from certain breaches of the directors' fiduciary duty of
care, both in suits by or on behalf of the corporation and in actions by
stockholders of the corporation.
II-1
<PAGE> 3
The Company's certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate of
Incorporation") includes an Article which allows the Company to take advantage
of Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law. The Certificate of
Incorporation also provides for the indemnification, to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law, of officers and directors of the
Company. The Company currently maintains policies of insurance under which the
directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and
subject to the limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in
connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are
parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
II-2
<PAGE> 4
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration, by means of a post-effective
amendment, any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any lability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer,
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

<PAGE> 4
shall be entitled to vote for the election and removal of the directors of
the Corporation and on all other matters on which stockholders are
entitled to vote under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and shall have one vote for each share of Common Stock held of
record.
(d) Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to the authority granted to the Board of Directors of the Corporation
in this Article Fourth, the Board of Directors has established two series of
preferred stock, designated as "Series A Preferred Stock" and "Series B
Preferred Stock" consisting of One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, and Eighteen Million Nine Hundred
Thousand (18,900,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per
share, and except as otherwise provided below, all shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and all shares of Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred
Stock") shall be entitled to the same powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions.
1. Dividends. Subject to the limitations set forth in this
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends per annum per
share as set forth below from funds legally available therefor, when, as
and if declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors. Such dividends
shall be payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December
15 (each a "Dividend Payment Date") of each year (unless such day is not a
business day, in which event on the next succeeding business day) to
holders of record as they appear on the register for the Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Stock Register") on the March 1, June 1, September 1 or
December 1 immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date, commencing on
December 15, 1994. Subject to increase in the case of the Series B
Preferred Stock as provided below, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at the rate (the
"Series A Base Rate") of $.06 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and
the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive
cumulative cash dividends at the rate of $.06 per share of Series B
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Base Rate"), in each case payable quarterly
in equal amounts on the Dividend Payment Dates. In the event that the
Corporation shall have failed (for whatever reason) to redeem shares of
Series B Preferred Stock scheduled to be redeemed on any Mandatory
Redemption Date (as defined below), then the holders of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive, from and after such Mandatory
Redemption Date, cumulative cash dividends (in lieu of cash dividends at
the Series B Base Rate) at a rate (the "Special Rate") per share of
Series B Preferred
-4-
<PAGE> 5
Stock equal to 6% per annum on the Base Amount (as defined below). The
Base Amount means, with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock,
$1; provided that subsequent to the Mandatory Redemption Date, for
purposes of calculating the dividend due an any Dividend Payment Date (if
cumulative dividends have not been paid in full prior to such date), the
full amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends as of the immediately
preceding Dividend Payment Date shall be added to the Base Amount.
Dividends payable on the Preferred Stock for any period less than a full
quarter dividend period shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day
year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.
Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock shall accrue from the
date of original issue of such share of Preferred Stock. Quarterly
dividends which are not paid in full in cash on any Dividend Payment Date
will cumulate without interest as if quarterly dividends had been paid in
cash on each succeeding Dividend Payment Date until such accumulated
quarterly dividends shall have been declared and paid in full in cash.
Any declaration of dividends may be for a portion, or all, of the then
accumulated dividends. Any accumulated dividends which are not paid will
continue to cumulate in the manner described above.
No dividend or distribution in cash, shares of capital stock or
other property shall be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any
date on or in respect of the Common Stock. $.01 par value, of the
Corporation or on any other series of stock issued by the Corporation
ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in payment of dividends or upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation (collectively,
the "Junior Securities") (any such dividend or distribution hereinafter
referred to as a "Junior Securities Distribution"), unless,
contemporaneously therewith or with respect to the immediately preceding
Dividend Payment Date for the Preferred Stock, a dividend or distribution
is or was paid or declared and set apart for payment, as the case may be,
on or in respect of the Preferred Stock payable at the rate set forth
herein and payable on a date no later than the payment date set for such
Junior Securities Distribution. In no event may the Corporation (i) make
a Junior Securities Distribution in cash unless, contemporaneously
therewith or with respect to the immediately preceding Dividend Payment
Date for the Preferred Stock, a dividend or distribution in cash is or was
paid or declared and set apart for payment on or in respect of the
Preferred Stock, payable at the rate set forth herein and a date no later
than the payment date set for Such Junior Securities Distribution, (ii)
make a Junior Securities Distribution while there are dividends in arrears
-5-
<PAGE> 6
on the Preferred Stock or (iii) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for
value any Junior Securities unless, prior to or contemporaneously with
such redemption, purchase or acquisition the Preferred Stock is redeemed
in full; provided that the Corporation may redeem, purchase or otherwise
acquire Junior Securities (and options in respect thereof) held by
employees or former employees (or employee benefit plans) of the
Corporation or fractional shares in Junior Securities of the Corporation,
which redemption, purchase or other acquisition shall be approved by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
this provision shall not prohibit the payment or declaration and setting
aside of a dividend payable in shares of Junior Securities or a
redemption, purchase or acquisition of Junior Securities with shares of
Junior Securities.
No dividend may be paid or declared and set apart for payment on
any share of Preferred Stock unless at the same time (i) a like dividend
is paid or set aside for payment on all shares of Preferred Stock then
outstanding and (ii) a like ratable dividend is paid or set aside for
payment on all shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the
Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends. No dividend may
be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any share of capital
stock ranking on a parity with the Preferred Stock with respect to payment
of dividends unless there shall have been paid or set apart for payment a
like ratable dividend on all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.
Notwithstanding the terms of the foregoing paragraphs or any other
provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, no dividend may
be paid or declared or set apart on the Preferred Stock, any shares of
capital stock ranking on a parity therewith or any Junior Securities, in
each case prior to the Facility Termination Date, as defined in the
following sentence, without the prior written consent of the Bank (as
defined in the following sentence). As used in this Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, "Facility Termination Date" shall mean the date on which
all obligations of Plan Services, Inc. (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation, under the Credit Agreement dated as of
September 30, 1994 between First Union National Bank of North Carolina
(the "Bank") and the Borrower, shall be performed and paid in full and the
credit facility provided thereunder terminated.
2. Preference on Liquidation, etc. In the event of any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation,
before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation
(whether
-6-
<PAGE> 7
capital or surplus), or proceeds thereof, shall be made to or set apart, for the
holders of shares of any Junior Securities, holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of $1.00 per share held by
them, plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon,
which dividends shall have accrued at the Series A Base Rate, and holders of
Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive payment of $1.00 per share
held by them, plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, which dividends shall have accrued at the Series B Base Rate, or the
Special Rate, as the case may be, provided in Section 1, whether or not declared
to the date of such payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds
thereof, distributed among the holders of shares of Preferred Stock and any
other series of preferred stock which ranks pari passu in right of payment upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation with the Preferred
Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the respective preferential amounts
on shares of Preferred Stock and such other series of preferred stock, then such
assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of all
such stock ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be
payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. After
payment of the full amount of the liquidation preference to which the holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled, such holders will not be entitled to any further
participation in any distribution of assets of the Corporation. For the
purposes of this paragraph, neither the merger or the consolidation of the
Corporation into or with another corporation or the merger or consolidation of
any other corporation into or with the Corporation or the sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation,
shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation.
3. Retirement of Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series
B Preferred Stock which have been redeemed, repurchased or reacquired in any
manner by the Corporation shall be retired and not be reissued.
4. Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, subject to the
limitations described herein, be subject to mandatory redemption by the
Corporation on September 15, 1999 from funds legally available therefore, at a
price per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to $1 per share, together
with an amount representing accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not
declared, to the date of redemption (the "Series A Redemption Price").
-7-
<PAGE> 8
The Series B Preferred Stock shall, subject to the limitation described
herein, be subject to mandatory redemption by the Corporation as follows: the
Corporation shall on September 15, 1995 and on September 15 in each succeeding
year through September 15, 1999 redeem 20% of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock originally issued or converted into Series B Preferred Stock as set forth
in this Section (d), and on September 15, 1999, the Corporation shall redeem
all remaining outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock originally issued
or converted into Series B Preferred Stock as set forth in Section (d), in each
case, from funds legally available therefor, at a price per share of Series B
Preferred Stock equal to $1 per share, together with an amount representing
accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, to the date of
redemption (the "Series B Redemption Price").
With respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, September 15,
1999 and with respect to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each such
September 15, on which the Corporation is required to redeem shares of Series A
Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may be, is hereinafter
referred to as a "Mandatory Redemption Date". Any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock which have been issued and have been redeemed, repurchased or reacquired
in any manner by the Corporation (other than through the operation of this
mandatory redemption provision) prior to any Mandatory Redemption Date may be
credited by the Corporation against the number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock required to be redeemed on any Mandatory Redemption Date after the date
of such other redemption, repurchase or reacquisition, unless such shares have
been previously so credited. The Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, at their last
addresses as they shall appear upon the Preferred Stock Register, at least 30
and not more than 60 days prior to a Mandatory Redemption Date, a notice
stating the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred
Stock owned by such holder that are to be redeemed on a Mandatory Redemption
Date. Except as otherwise required by law, the failure to give any such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of such a
redemption.
Notwithstanding the terms of the foregoing paragraphs or any other
provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall
not redeem any Preferred Stock pursuant to the mandatory redemption herein
described prior to the Facility Termination Date without the prior written
consent of the Bank, or otherwise to the extent that any such redemption of
Preferred Stock contravenes or causes a default under any loan contract,
-8-
<PAGE> 9
agreement or other instrument by which any of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries or any of their property is then bound.
If on any Mandatory Redemption Date the Corporation shall be prohibited, by
reason of the operation of the foregoing paragraph, from redeeming shares of
Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, then the Corporation shall
be obligated, to the extent and on the first date after such Mandatory
Redemption Date on which the prohibitions described in the foregoing paragraph
shall no longer apply (the "Delayed Redemption Date"), to redeem the number of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock which it would
have been obligated to redeem on the Mandatory Redemption Date, at a price per
share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Redemption Price and at
a price per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series B Redemption
Price, it being understood that in any event the unpaid dividends included in
such Redemption Prices shall have accrued at the respective Base Rate or the
Special Rate, as the case may be, as provided in Section 1.
The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the Corporation's option
(subject to the legal availability of funds) at any time, in whole or in part,
at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price; provided, however, that no
such redemption may be authorized or effected prior to the Facility Termination
Date without the prior written consent of the Bank. The Corporation shall cause
to be mailed to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at their last addresses
as they shall appear upon the Preferred Stock Register, at least 30 and not more
than 60 days prior to the Optional Redemption Date, a notice stating the date on
which such redemption is expected to take place (the "Optional Redemption Date")
and, if less than all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed,
the notice shall also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
owned by such holder that are to be redeemed. Except as otherwise required by
applicable law, the failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the validity of such a redemption.
If less than all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be
redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be redeemed, on a pro rata basis,
according to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each
holder.
On or after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Optional Redemption Date or
the Delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be, the holders of shares of
Preferred Stock which have been redeemed shall surrender their certificates,
<PAGE> 10
representing such shares to the Corporation at its principal place of business
or as otherwise notified, and thereupon the redemption price of such shares
shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such
certificate or certificates as the owner thereof and each surrendered
certificate shall be cancelled. Notice having been given as aforesaid, from and
after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Optional Redemption Date or the Delayed
Redemption Date, as the case may be, unless there shall have been a default in
payment of the redemption price, all rights of the holders of such redeemed
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as the case may
be, except the right to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon
surrender of their certificate or certificates, shall cease with respect to such
shares, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the Preferred
Stock Register or be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever.
5. Voting. (a) Unless and until the Vote Swing Date shall have
occurred, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote for
the election or removal of the directors of the Corporation and on all other
matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and shall have one vote for each
share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record. Except as otherwise
expressly required by law, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not
have any right to vote on any matter on which stockholders are entitled to
vote.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly required by law, all stockholders
entitled to vote shall vote together as a single class for the election or
removal of the directors of the Corporation and on all other matters on which
stockholders are entitled to vote under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.
6. Restrictions on Transfer of Series A Preferred Stock. No transfer
of any outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be registered an the
books of the Corporation unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock are transferred simultaneously.
7. Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. Each holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert all or any of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock then held by each holder into shares of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at the rate (the "Conversion
Rate") of one share of Series B Preferred Stock for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, upon surrender to the Corporation of certificates representing
the shares of Series A Preferred
-10-
<PAGE> 11
Stock to be so converted, together with an appropriate conversion
notice. The Conversion Rate shall be appropriately adjusted for any
stock-split, stock-dividend, subdivision or combination of the Series
A Preferred Stock of the Corporation, such that upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to receive such number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted as
such holders would have become entitled to had such holders converted
the Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event. In the
event of any reclassification of the Series B Preferred Stock, any
consolidation or merger of the Corporation or any sale or conveyance
of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation, then each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall, at its option, be entitled
to receive in respect of all or any of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock then held by such holder, the shares, securities or
property receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger
or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation,
merger or sale. No adjustments in respect of dividends will be made
upon any conversion.
FIFTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or
repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the
manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights and powers
conferred herein upon stockholders and directors are granted subject to this
reservation.
SIXTH: In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or
repeal the By-laws of the Corporation.
SEVENTH: Meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, within
or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by or in the manner
provided in the By-laws, or, if not so designated or provided, at the
registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware. Elections of
directors need not be by written ballot unless and to the extent that the
By-laws so provide.
EIGHTH: A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable
to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of duty
as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
-11-
<PAGE> 12
knowing violation of the law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended
to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation
shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this
provision shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of
the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
NINTH: (a) Right to Indemnification. (i) Each person who
was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in
any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or
she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a
director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service
with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is
alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
or in any other capacity while serving as a director, employee or agent, shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent
authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader
indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior
to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts
paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person
in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators, provided,
however, that except as provided in paragraph (b) hereof, the Corporation shall
indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right
based upon an offer from the Corporation which shall be deemed to be accepted by
such person's service or continued service with the Corporation and shall
include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that, if the General Corporation Law of the State of
-12-
<PAGE> 13
Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or
officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other
capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or
officer, including, without limitation, service to employee benefit plan) in
advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon
delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director
or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under
this Article or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of
Directors, provide indemnification to employees or agents of the Corporation
with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and
officers.
(b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of
this Article is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty days after a
written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time
thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of
the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled
to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense
to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where
the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the
Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make
it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for
the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden
of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its
stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such
action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by
the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or
its stockholders), that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the
payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right
which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statue, provision of
the Certificate or Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
13
<PAGE> 14
(d) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify such persons against such
expense, liability or loss under the Delaware Corporation Law.
(e) Severability. If any subsection of this Article shall be deemed to
be invalid or ineffective in any proceedings, the remaining subsections hereof
shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.
TENTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the
Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the
Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under
the provisions of sec. 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers
appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of sec. 279 of Title 8 of
the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors,
and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the
case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a
majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or
class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the
Corporation, as the reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such
compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said
reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application
has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors and/or on
all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case
may be, and also on the Corporation.

promote the growth and profitability of the Company, and any Subsidiary of the
Company, because Optionees will be provided with an additional incentive to
achieve the Company's objectives through participation in its success and
growth.
2.3 EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan shall become effective on June 15, 1996.
2.4 TERMINATION DATE. No further Options shall be granted hereunder on
or after June 14, 2006, but all Options granted prior to that time shall remain
in effect in accordance with their terms.

ARTICLE V
SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN
5.1 LIMITATIONS. Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Stock that
may be issued and sold hereunder shall be 500,000 shares. Shares subject to an
Option may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and later
acquired by the Company; provided, however, that shares of Stock with respect
to which an Option has been exercised shall not again be available for issuance
hereunder. The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option that has
terminated for any reason may again be granted under this Plan, and such shares
shall not be considered as having been optioned or issued in computing the
number of shares of Stock remaining available for grant hereunder.
5.2 ANTIDILUTION.
(a) In the event that the outstanding shares of Stock are changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Company by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, stock split or stock
dividend, or in the event that any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of
assets materially affects the price of the Company's stock:
(i) The aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock for
which Options may be granted hereunder shall be adjusted
proportionately by the Committee or the Board; and
(ii) The rights of Optionees (concerning the number of shares
subject to Options and the Option Price) under
outstanding Options shall be adjusted proportionately by
the Committee or the Board.
(b) If the Company shall be a party to any reorganization in which it does
not survive, involving merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the stock or
substantially all the assets of the Company, the Committee or the Board, in its
discretion, may:
(i) declare that all Options granted under the Plan shall
become exercisable immediately notwithstanding the
provisions of the
- 5 -
<PAGE> 9
respective Agreements regarding exercisability or
vesting, and that all such Options shall terminate 30
days after the Committee gives written notice of the
immediate right to exercise all such Options and of the
decision to terminate all Options not exercised within
such 30-day period; or
(ii) notify all Optionees that all Options granted under the
Plan shall be assumed by the successor corporation or
substituted with Options Stock issued by such successor
corporation.
(c) If the Company is to be liquidated or dissolved in connection with a
reorganization described in paragraph 5.2(b), the provisions of such paragraph
shall apply. In all other instances, the adoption of a plan of dissolution or
liquidation of the Company shall cause every Option outstanding under the Plan
to terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of the plan of
dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders, provided that the Committee or
the Board in its discretion may declare all Options granted under the Plan to
be exercisable at any time on or before the fifth business day following such
adoption notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Agreements regarding
exercisability. The Committee's or Board's actions under this provision and
the Optionee's exercise of Options under this provision shall be subject,
however, to the limitations set forth in Article VI hereof.
(d) The adjustments described in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
Section 5.2, and the manner of their application, shall be determined solely by
the Committee or the Board, and any such adjustment may provide for the
elimination of fractional share interests. The adjustments required under this
Article V shall apply to any successors of the Company and shall be made
regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such
adjustments.
ARTICLE VI
OPTIONS
6.1 TYPES OF OPTIONS GRANTED. Within the limitations provided herein,
Options may be granted to one Employee at one or several times or to different
Employees at the same time or at different times, in either case under
different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and conditions of each
Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of
the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the
financial performance of the Company or any other factor the Committee deems
relevant.
6.2 OPTION GRANT AND AGREEMENT. Each Option granted or modified hereunder
shall be evidenced (a) by either minutes of a meeting or a written consent of
the Committee or the Board, and (b) by a written Stock Option Agreement
executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including
the Option's duration, time or times of exercise, exercise price, whether the
Option is intended to be an ISO, and whether the Option is to be accompanied by
the
- 6 -
<PAGE> 10
right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Stock Option Agreement.
Separate Stock Option Agreements shall be used for Options intended to be ISO's
and those not so intended.
6.3 $100,000 LIMITATION. Except as provided below, the Committee shall
not grant an ISO to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding ISO's
held by, any person who, at the time the ISO is granted (or modified), would
thereby receive or hold any incentive stock options (as described in Code
section 422) of the Employer and any Parent or Subsidiary of the Employer, such
that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of
grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which such
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar
year is in excess of $100,000; provided, that the foregoing restriction on
modification of outstanding ISO's shall not preclude the Committee from
modifying an outstanding ISO if, as a result of such modification and with the
consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an ISO; and provided
that, if the $100,000 limitation described in this Section 6.3 is exceeded, an
Option that otherwise qualifies as an ISO shall be treated as an ISO up to the
limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an
ISO. The preceding sentence shall be applied by taking options intended to be
ISO's into account in the order in which they were granted.
6.4 OPTION PRICE. The Option Price under each Option shall be determined
by the Committee or the Board. However, the Option Price shall not be less the
Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the Option is granted (or, in
the case of an ISO that is subsequently modified, on the date of such
modification).
6.5 EXERCISE PERIOD. The period for the exercise of each Option granted
hereunder shall be determined by the Committee, but the Stock Option Agreement
with respect to each Option intended to be an ISO shall provide that such
Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date
of grant (or modification) of the Option.
6.6 OPTION EXERCISE.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, an Option
may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option
as to any or all whole shares that have become Purchasable under the provisions
of the Option, but not at any time as to less than 100 shares unless the
remaining shares that have become so Purchasable are less than 100 shares. The
Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option Agreement
that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule
during the term of the Option.
(b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Treasurer of the
Company at its principal office of written notice of exercise with respect to a
specified number of shares of Stock, and (ii) payment to the Company at that
office of the full amount of the Option Price for such number of shares.
- 7 -
<PAGE> 11
(c) The Option Price shall be paid in full upon the exercise of the
Option; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in a Stock Option
Agreement that, in lieu of cash, all or any portion of the Option Price may be
paid by tendering to the Company shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and
owned by the Optionee, to be credited against the Option Price at the Fair
Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise (however, no fractional
shares may be so transferred, and the Company shall not be obligated to make
any cash payments in consideration of any excess of the aggregate Fair Market
Value of shares transferred over the aggregate option price).
(d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Option Price, the
Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state
and local income, employment or other taxes required to be withheld from the
income of such Optionee as a result of such exercise; provided, however, that
in the discretion of the Committee any Stock Option Agreement may provide that
all or any portion of such tax obligations, together with additional taxes not
exceeding the actual additional taxes to be owed by the Optionee as a result of
such exercise, may, upon the irrevocable election of the Optionee, be paid by
tendering to the Company whole shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and
owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of
Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in either case in that
number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to
the amount of such taxes thereby being paid, and subject to such restrictions
as to the approval and timing of any such election as the Committee may from
time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions
of the exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act.
(e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such
shares have been issued and transferred to him upon the exercise of the Option.
6.7 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. No Option or any rights therein shall
be transferable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. During the lifetime of an Optionee, an Option granted to
that Optionee shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee's
guardian or other legal representative, should one be appointed).
6.8 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The Committee or the Board shall have the
power to specify, with respect to the Options granted to any particular
Optionee, the effect upon such Optionee's right to exercise an Option of the
termination of such Optionee's employment under various circumstances,
including but not limited to the death or disability of the employee which
effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such Optionee's rights
under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be
exercised in full.
6.9 EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Options granted under the Plan shall not be
affected by any change of employment so long as the Optionee continues to be an
Employee. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on
any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary
of the Company, or shall interfere in any way with the right of
- 8 -
<PAGE> 12
the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate such person's employment at any
time.
6.10 CERTAIN SUCCESSOR OPTIONS. To the extent not inconsistent with the
terms, limitations and conditions of Code section 422, and any regulations
promulgated with respect thereto, an option issued in respect of an Option held
by an employee to acquire stock of any entity acquired, by merger or otherwise,
by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) may contain terms that differ
from those stated in this Article VI, but solely to the extent necessary to
preserve for any such employee the rights and benefits contained in such
predecessor option, or to satisfy the requirements of Code section 425(a).
ARTICLE VII
CONDITIONS TO ISSUING STOCK
The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares of Stock
purchased upon the full or partial exercise of any Option granted hereunder
until all of the following conditions are fulfilled:
(a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on
which the Stock is then listed;
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such
shares that the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable under any
federal or state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, or the Company's
determination that an exemption is available from such registration or
qualification;
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or
state governmental agency that the Company shall determine to be necessary or
advisable; and
(d) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following exercise as shall
be appropriate for reasons of administrative convenience.
Unless the shares of Stock covered by the Plan shall be the subject of an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
stock certificates issued and delivered to Optionees shall bear such
restrictive legends as the Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant
to applicable federal and state securities laws.

<PAGE> 13
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION OF PLAN
The Board may at any time, (i) cause the Committee to cease granting
Options, (ii) terminate the Plan, or (iii) in any respect amend or modify the
Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions are approved or
ratified by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the date
the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to change or modify the class
of persons that may participate in the Plan.
No termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall affect
adversely the rights of an Optionee under any outstanding Option without the
consent of the Optionee or his or her legal representative.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
9.1 REPLACEMENT GRANTS. At the sole discretion of the Committee, an
Optionee may be given an election to surrender an Option in exchange for a new
Option.
9.2 FORFEITURE FOR COMPETITION. If an Optionee provides services to a
person or entity that the Committee or Board reasonably determines to be a
competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether as an employee,
officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, agent or otherwise, such
services being of a nature that can reasonably be expected to involve the
skills and experience used or developed by the Optionee while an Employee, then
that Optionee's rights under any Options outstanding hereunder shall be
forfeited and terminated, subject to a determination to the contrary by the
Committee or the Board.
9.3 PLAN BINDING ON SUCCESSORS. The Plan shall be binding upon the
successors of the Company.
9.4 GENDER. Whenever used herein, the masculine pronoun shall include the
feminine gender.
9.5 HEADINGS NO PART OF PLAN. Headings of Articles and Sections hereof
are inserted for convenience and reference, and do not constitute a part of the
Plan.
