          not intended to forecast future appreciation of the Company's stock
          price. The Company did not use an alternative formula for a grant date

In December 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Non-Employee Director Stock
Option Plan ("1993 Plan") pursuant to which each person who is not a salaried
employee of the Company who first becomes a director after December 29, 1993
shall be granted on the date he first becomes a director an option to purchase
2,000 shares of Common Stock and on January 2 of each year beginning with
January 2, 1994, each person who is not a salaried employee of the Company and
is then a director shall be granted an option to purchase an additional 1,200
shares of Common Stock. In addition, the 1993 Plan authorizes the Board of
Directors to approve additional stock option grants to such non-employee
directors. The per share exercise price of each option granted under the 1993
Plan shall be equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
date the option is granted.
