1993 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As Adopted February 1, 1993
and Amended and Restated through November 25, 1996


1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to
attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential
contributions are important to the success of the Company, its Parent,
Subsidiaries and Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in
the Company's future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock,
Stock Bonuses and Performance Awards. Capitalized terms not defined in the text
are defined in Section 24.

2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2
and 19, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance
pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 11,000,000* Shares. Subject to
Sections 2.2 and 19, Shares shall again be available for grant and issuance in
connection with future Awards under the Plan that: (a) are subject to issuance
upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason
other than exercise of such Option or (b) are subject to an Award that otherwise
terminates without Shares being issued and for which the participant did not
receive any benefits of ownership (other than voting rights).

2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number
of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration,
then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the
Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options, and (c)
the number of Shares subject to other outstanding Awards shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the
shareholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws;
provided, however, that fractions of a Share shall not be issued but shall
either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded up to the
nearest Share, as determined by the Committee; and provided, further, that the
Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the
Shares.

3. ELIGIBILITY. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be
granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also
employees) of the Company or of a


_______________
* Reflects 8/4/95 stock split
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards may be granted to
employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors and
advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;
provided such consultants, contractors and advisors render bona fide services
not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction. A person may be granted more than one Award under the Plan. Each
person is eligible to receive up to an aggregate maximum of 1,000,000 Shares
over the term of the Plan.

4. ADMINISTRATION.

4.1 Committee Authority. The Plan shall be administered
by the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan.
The Committee shall have the authority to:

(a) construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement
and any other agreement or document executed pursuant
to the Plan;

(b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan;

(c) select persons to receive Awards;

(d) determine the form and terms of Awards;

(e) determine the number of Shares or other consideration
subject to Awards;

(f) determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in
combination, or in tandem with, in replacement of, or
as alternatives to, other Awards under the Plan or any
other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or
any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

(g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;

(h) determine the vesting, exercisability and payment of
Awards;

(i) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile
any inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Award
Agreement;

(j) determine whether an Award has been earned; and

(k) make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of the Plan.


2
4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the
Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the
time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of
the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and
binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the
Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the
authority to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders
of the Company.

4.3 Exchange Act Requirements. If two or more members
of the Board are Outside Directors, the Committee shall be comprised of at least
two members of the Board, all of whom are Outside Directors and Disinterested
Persons. The Company will take appropriate steps to comply with the
disinterested director requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act,
including but not limited to, the appointment by the Board of a Committee
consisting of not less than two persons (who are members of the Board), each of
whom is a Disinterested Person. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan
and Awards hereunder satisfy and be interpreted in a manner, that, in the case
of Participants who are or may be Insiders, satisfies the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) of the Exchange Act. If any
provision of the Plan or of any Award would otherwise conflict with the intent
expressed in this Section 4.3, that provision to the extent possible shall be
interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

5. OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons
and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options within
the meaning of the Code ("ISOs") or Nonqualified Stock Options ("NQSOs"), the
number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the
period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and
conditions of the Option, subject to the following:

5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall expressly identify the
Option as an ISO or NQSO ("Stock Option Agreement"), and be in such form and
contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the
Committee shall from time to time approve, and which shall comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall
be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option,
unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a
copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time
after the granting of the Option.

5.3 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable
within the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in
the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is
granted; and provided further that no ISO granted to a person who directly or by
attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company ("Ten Percent Shareholder") shall be exercisable after the expiration of
five (5) years from the date the Option


3
is granted. The Committee also may provide for the exercise of Options to become
exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such
number or percentage as the Committee determines.

5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be
determined by the Committee when the Option is granted and may be at less than
Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the Shares) if permitted
by the Exchange Act; provided, that (i) the Exercise Price of an ISO shall be
not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant
and (ii) the Exercise Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder
shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with
Section 8 of the Plan.

5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only
by delivery to the Company of a written exercise agreement (the "Exercise
Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for
each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the
restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and
agreements regarding Participant's investment intent and access to information
and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to
comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods
set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be
subject to the following:

(a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except
death or Disability, then Participant may exercise such
Participant's Options only to the extent that such
Options would have been exercisable upon the
Termination Date no later than three (3) months after
the Termination Date (or such longer time period not
exceeding five years as may be determined by the
Committee), but in any event, no later than the
expiration date of the Options.

(b) If the Participant is terminated because of death or
Disability (or the Participant dies within three months
of such termination), then Participant's Options may be
exercised only to the extent that such Options would
have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination
Date and must be exercised by Participant (or
Participant's legal representative or authorized
assignee) no later than (i) twelve (12) months after
the Termination Date in the case of disability or (ii)
eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date in the
case of death (or such longer time period not exceeding
five years as may be determined by the Committee), but
in any event no later than the expiration date of the
Options.


4
5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify
a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of
an Option; provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from
exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then
exercisable.

5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs
are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year
(under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or
any Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.
If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which
ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar
year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to
become exercisable in such calendar year shall be ISOs and the Options for the
amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year shall
be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder
are amended after the Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different
limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such
different limit shall be automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to
any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee
may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new
Options in substitution therefor; provided that any such action may not, without
the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant's rights under any
Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended,
renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h)
of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options
without the consent of Participants affected by a written notice to them;
provided, however, that the Exercise Price may not be reduced below the minimum
Exercise Price that would be permitted under Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options
granted on the date the action is taken to reduce the Exercise Price; and
provided, further, that the Exercise Price shall not be reduced below the par
value of the Shares, if any.

5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs shall be
interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted
under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of
the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any
ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

6. RESTRICTED STOCK. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the
Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions.
The Committee shall determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of
Shares the person may purchase, the price to be paid (the "Purchase Price"), the
restrictions to which the Shares shall be subject, and all other terms and
conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:


5
6.1 Restricted Stock Awards. All purchases under a
Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement ("Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement") that shall be in such form
(which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from
time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the
Participant's execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
and full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days from the
date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the person. If such
person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days,
then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

6.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of Shares sold
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee and
may be at less than Fair Market Value (but not less than the par value of the
Shares) on the date the Restricted Stock Award is granted. Payment of the
Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 9 of the Plan.

6.3 Terms of Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock
Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose. These
restrictions may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of
service with the Company or upon completion of the performance goals as set out
in advance in the Participant's individual Award Agreement (the "Restricted
Stock Award Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same
for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and
shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Restricted Stock Awards may vary from Participant to Participant and between
groups of Participants. Prior to the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the
Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date of any
Performance Period for the Restricted Stock Award; (b) select from among the
Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals, if any; and (c)
determine the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to
the payment of any Restricted Stock Award, the Committee shall determine the
extent to which such Restricted Stock Award has been earned. Performance Periods
may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to
Restricted Stock Awards that are subject to different Performance Periods and
having different performance goals and other criteria; provided, however that
the maximum Restricted Stock Award for each Participant with respect to any
Performance Period shall be thirty percent (30%) of the Shares reserved for
issuance under this Plan.

7. STOCK BONUSES.

7.1 Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus is an award
of Shares for services rendered to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company. No payment for the Shares shall be required. A Stock
Bonus may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement
(the "Stock Bonus Agreement") that shall be in such form (which need not be the
same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and
shall


6
comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. No payment
for the Shares shall be required.

7.2 Terms of Stock Bonuses. Stock Bonus Awards shall be
subject to such restrictions as the Committee shall impose. These restrictions
may be based upon completion of a specified number of years of service with the
Company or upon completion of the performance goals as set out in advance in the
Participant's individual Award Agreement (the "Stock Bonus Agreement") that
shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the
Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject
to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant
to Participant and between groups of Participants. Prior to the grant of a Stock
Bonus, the Committee shall: (a) determine the nature, length and starting date
of any Performance Period for the Stock Bonus; (b) select from among the
Performance Factors to be used to measure performance goals; and (c) determine
the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant. Prior to the
payment of any Stock Bonus, the Committee shall determine the extent to which
such Stock Bonus has been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and
Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that
are subject to different Performance Periods and having different performance
goals and other criteria; provided, however that the maximum Stock Bonus for
each Participant with respect to any Performance Period shall be be thirty
percent (30%) of the Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan.

7.3 Form of Payment. A Stock Bonus may be paid in the
form of cash, whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market
Value on the date of payment, either in a lump sum payment or in installments,
all as the Committee shall determine, and to the extent applicable, shall be
subject to such conditions or restrictions as may be required to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

7.4 Termination During Performance Period. If a
Participant is Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such
Participant shall be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise)
with respect to the Stock Bonuses only to the extent earned as of the date of
Termination in accordance with the Stock Bonus Award Agreement, unless the
Committee shall determine otherwise.

8. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

8.1 Performance Awards. A Performance Award shall
consist of the grant to the Participant of a specified number of Performance
Units (the "Performance Unit"). The grant of a Performance Unit to a Participant
will entitle the Participant to receive a specified dollar value, variable under
conditions specified in the Performance Award, if the performance goals
specified in the Performance Award are achieved and the other terms and
conditions of the Performance Award are satisfied.


8.2 Terms of Performance Awards. Performance Awards shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement (the "Performance Award Agreement") that shall
be in such form


7
(which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from
time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan. Performance Awards shall be subject to such conditions
as the Committee may impose. Prior to the grant of a Performance Award, the
Committee shall: (a) specify the number of Performance Units granted to the
Participant; (b) specify the threshold and maximum dollar values of Performance
Units and the corresponding performance goals; (c) determine the nature, length
and starting date of any Performance Period for the Performance Award; and (d)
select from among the Performance Factors to be used to measure performance
goals. Prior to the payment of any Performance Award, the Committee shall
determine the extent to which such Performance Units have been earned.
Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously
with respect to Performance Awards that are subject to different Performance
Periods and having different performance goals and other criteria; provided,
however, that the maximum amount of any Performance Award for each Participant
with respect to any Performance Period shall be the lesser of two hundred and
fifty percent (250%) of the Participant's base salary at the time of the
Performance Award or one million dollars.

8.3 Form of Payment. Performance Awards may be paid currently
or on a deferred basis with such reasonable interest or dividend equivalent, if
any, as the Committee may determine. Payment may be made in the form of cash,
whole Shares, or a combination thereof, based on the Fair Market Value on the
date of payment, either in a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the
Committee shall determine.

8.4 Termination During Performance Period. If a Participant is
Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant
shall be entitled to payment with respect to the Performance Awards only to the
extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Performance
Award Agreement, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

9. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.

9.1 Payment. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to
the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the
Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:

(a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the
Participant;

(b) by surrender of Shares that either: (1) have been owned
by Participant for more than six (6) months and have
been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and,
if such shares were purchased from the Company by use
of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid
with respect to such Shares); or (2) were obtained by
Participant in the public market;

(c) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having
such terms as may be approved by the Committee and
bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid
imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the
Code; provided,


8
however, that Participants who are not employees of the
Company shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a
promissory note unless the note is adequately secured
by collateral other than the Shares; provided, further,
that the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the par
value of the Shares, if any, must be paid in cash.

(d) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant
for services rendered;

(e) by tender of property;

(f) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an
Option, and provided that a public market for the
Company's stock exists:

(1) through a "same day sale" commitment from
Participant and a broker-dealer that is a
member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby
the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise
the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares
so purchased in order to pay for the Exercise
Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward
the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

(2) through a "margin" commitment from Participant
and an NASD Dealer whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and
to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD
Dealer in a margin account as security for a
loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such
Shares to forward the exercise price directly
to the Company;
or

(g) by any combination of the foregoing.

9.2 Loan Guarantees. The Committee may help the
Participant pay for Shares purchased under the Plan by authorizing a guarantee
by the Company of a third-party loan to the Participant.

10. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

10.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be
issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require
the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any
certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever,


9
under the Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such
payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and
local withholding tax requirements.

10.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax
laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or
vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is
obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee
may allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by
electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number
of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be
withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined (the "Tax Date"). All elections by a Participant to have Shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the
Committee and shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable
Tax Date;

(b) once made, then except as provided below, the election
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to
which the election is made;

(c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or
disapproval of the Committee;

(d) if the Participant is an Insider and if the Company is
subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act: (1) the
election may not be made within six (6) months of the
date of grant of the Award, except as otherwise
permitted by SEC Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act,
and (2) either (A) the election to use stock
withholding must be irrevocably made at least six (6)
months prior to the Tax Date (although such election
may be revoked at any time at least six (6) months
prior to the Tax Date) or (B) the exercise of the
Option or election to use stock withholding must be
made in the ten (10) day period beginning on the third
day following the release of the Company's quarterly or
annual summary statement of sales or earnings; and

(e) in the event that the Tax Date is deferred until six
(6) months after the delivery of Shares under Section
83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive the
full number of Shares with respect to which the
exercise occurs, but such Participant shall be
unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company
the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

11. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.

11.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant shall have
any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares
are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the
Participant shall be a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder with
respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or
other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if
such Shares are


10
Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different securities the
Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue
of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital
structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the
Restricted Stock; provided, further, that the Participant shall have no right to
retain such dividends or distributions with respect to Shares that are
repurchased at the Participant's original Purchase Price pursuant to Section 13.

11.2 Financial Statements. The Company shall provide
financial statements to each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of
Shares under the Plan, and to each Participant annually during the period such
Participant has Awards outstanding; provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to provide such financial statements to Participants whose services in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

12. TRANSFERABILITY. Awards granted under the Plan, and any
interest therein, shall not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and
may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with
the specific Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the
lifetime of the Participant an Award shall be exercisable only by the
Participant, and any elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the
Participant.

13. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES. At the discretion of the Committee,
the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement
a right to repurchase a portion of or all Shares held by a Participant following
such Participant's Termination at any time within ninety (90) days after the
later of Participant's Termination Date and the date Participant purchases
Shares under the Plan, for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness
with respect to Shares that are not "Vested" (as defined in the Award
Agreement), at the Participant's original Purchase Price; provided, that the
right to repurchase at the original Purchase Price lapses at the rate of at
least 20% per year over 5 years from the date the Shares were purchased, and if
the right to repurchase is assignable, the assignee must pay the Company, upon
assignment of the right to repurchase, cash equal to the excess of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares over the original Purchase Price.

14. CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other
securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer
orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or
advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or
any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be
listed.

15. ESCROW; PLEDGE OF SHARES. To enforce any restrictions on a
Participant's Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all
certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other
instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in
blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow
until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the
certificates. Any


11
Participant who is permitted to execute a promissory note as partial or full
consideration for the purchase of Shares under the Plan shall be required to
pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the Shares so purchased as
collateral to secure the payment of Participant's obligation to the Company
under the promissory note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or
accept other or additional forms of collateral to secure the payment of such
obligation and, in any event, the Company shall have full recourse against the
Participant under the promissory note notwithstanding any pledge of the
Participant's Shares or other collateral. In connection with any pledge of the
Shares, Participant shall be required to execute and deliver a written pledge
agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. The
Shares purchased with the promissory note may be released from the pledge on a
prorata basis as the promissory note is paid.

16. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. An Award
shall not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental
body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system
upon which the Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of
grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no
obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to
(a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company
determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration
or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling
of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or
advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with
the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing
requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation
system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to
do so.

17. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in the Plan or any Award
granted under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant
any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship
with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit
in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of
the Company to terminate Participant's employment or other relationship at any
time, with or without cause.

18. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS. The Committee may, at any
time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the
respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and
cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy
from a Participant an Option previously granted with payment in cash, Shares or
other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the
Participant shall agree.


12
19. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

19.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor.
In the event of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of
the Company and the Awards granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced by the
successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants),
(b) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (c) the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or (d) any other transaction which qualifies
as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the
shareholders of the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company
(except for the acquisition, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
outstanding shares of the Company), any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed
or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption or replacement shall
be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation
may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration
to Participants as was provided to shareholders (after taking into account the
existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in
place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant,
substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase
restrictions no less favorable to the Participant. In the event such successor
corporation, if any, refuses to assume or substitute the Options, as provided
above, pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 19.1, such Options
shall expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the
Board shall determine.

19.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater
rights granted to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section
19, in the event of the occurrence of any transaction described in Section 19.1,
any outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable agreement
or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or
other "corporate transaction."

19.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company,
from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by
another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company
or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in substitution of
such other company's award, or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award
granted under the Plan. Such substitution or assumption shall be permissible if
the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be
granted an Award under the Plan if the other company had applied the rules of
the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by
another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged
(except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable
upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to
Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new
Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted
with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

20. ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall become
effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date").
The Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares
issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve
months before or after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board
may grant Awards pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option
may be exercised prior to initial shareholder approval of the Plan; (b) no
Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares approved by the
Board shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by
the shareholders of the Company; and (c) in the event that shareholder approval
is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted
hereunder shall be canceled, any Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be
canceled and any purchase of Shares hereunder shall be rescinded. After the
Company becomes subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, with
respect to shareholder approval.

21. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan will terminate ten (10) years from
the Effective Date or, if earlier, the date of shareholder approval.

22. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may at any time
terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation
amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant
to the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the approval
of the shareholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires
such shareholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act
or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, thereunder; provided, further,
that no amendment may be made to outstanding Awards without the consent of the
Participant.

23. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN; UNFUNDED PLAN. Neither the
adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the
shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be
construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including,
without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than
under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the
Company nor the Board shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any
time be represented by Awards made pursuant to the Plan. Neither the Company,
the Committee, nor the Board shall be deemed to be a trustee of any amounts to
be paid under the Plan.
