DEPOTECH CORPORATION
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

RECITALS

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of providing
additional incentive to selected Employees, consultants and other independent
advisors to continue in the Service of the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary).

B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of the Plan in connection with the
Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee.

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as
of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares
specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time
to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5 or 6.

3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised, during
the Optionee's lifetime, only by the Optionee.

4. DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall become exercisable for
the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice.
As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments
shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated
installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term
under Paragraph 5 or 6.

5. CESSATION OF SERVICE. The option term specified in Paragraph 2
shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

(a) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any
reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while this
option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a thirty (30)-day period
(commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at
any time after the Expiration Date.

(b) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding,
then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or
persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or
in accordance with the laws of inheritance shall have the right to
exercise this option. Such right shall lapse, and this option shall cease
to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the twelve
(12)- month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (B) the
Expiration Date.

(c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent
Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a
period of six (6) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of
Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this
option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

(d) During the limited period of post-Service
exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more
than the number of Option Shares for which the option is exercisable at
the time of Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such
limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any otherwise
exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. To
the extent this option is not exercisable for one or more Option Shares at
the time of Optionee's cessation of Service, this option shall immediately
terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to those shares.

(e) Should Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct,
then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain
outstanding.

6. SPECIAL ACCELERATION OF OPTION.

(a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, this option, to
the extent outstanding at such time but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall
automatically accelerate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the
Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or
all of those Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, this
option shall not become exercisable on such an accelerated basis if and to the
extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be
assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) this option is
to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which
preserves the spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction on the
Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable
(the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares over the aggregate
Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent pay-out in
accordance with the same exercise/vesting schedule in effect for those Option
Shares pursuant to the option exercise schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.

2.
6

(b) Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this option,
to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

(c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

(d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

7. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude any dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

8. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have any
shareholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

9. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any
part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable,
Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the
following actions:

(i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of
Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

(ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
shares in one or more of the following forms:

(A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

3.
7
(B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but
only to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in
accordance with Paragraph 13;

(C) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any
other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for
financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
Exercise Date; or

(D) through a special sale and remittance procedure
pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to
effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the
Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement
date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable
for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and
local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the Corporation
to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to
such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is
utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the
Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise delivered to
the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

(iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee)
have the right to exercise this option.

(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or
Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction
of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
requirements applicable to the option exercise.

(b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation
shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the
appropriate legends affixed thereto.

10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

4.
8

(a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option
Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and
Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all
applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of
such exercise and issuance.

(b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall
relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or
sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.
The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such
approvals.

11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and
Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees
of Optionee's estate.

Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the Exercise Price
for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a promissory note. The terms of
any such promissory note (including the interest rate, the requirements for
collateral and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion.

14. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are
made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

15. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

INFORMATION ON THE
1997 SUPPLEMENTAL OPTION PLAN

DepoTech Corporation, a California corporation (the "Corporation"),
is offering shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") to eligible
individuals in the Corporation's service pursuant to option grants made under
the DepoTech Corporation 1997 Supplemental Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The
purpose of the Plan is to offer the individuals in the employ of the Corporation
who are neither officers of the Corporation nor members of the Corporation's
Board of Directors (the "Board") a continuing opportunity to acquire an
ownership interest in the Corporation as an incentive for such persons to remain
in the Corporation's service. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all
references to the Corporation in this Plan Summary and Prospectus include
DepoTech Corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations, whether now
existing or subsequently established.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PLAN

This Plan Summary and Prospectus sets forth in question and answer
format the principal terms of the option grants which may be made from time to
time under the Plan to eligible individuals.

GENERAL PLAN PROVISIONS

1. WHAT IS THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN?

The Plan is an equity program under which eligible individuals will
be granted options which will provide them with the right to purchase shares of
Common Stock at a fixed price per share over their period of service with the
Corporation.

2. WHEN DID THE PLAN BECOME EFFECTIVE?

The Plan became effective on October 14, 1997 (the "Effective Date")
upon adoption by the Board.

3. WHO ADMINISTERS THE PLAN?

The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board. Such committee is comprised of two (2) or more non-employee Board members
appointed by the Board, and each member will serve for so long as the Board
deems appropriate and may be removed by the Board at any time. The Compensation
Committee in its capacity as administrator of the Plan will be referred to in
this document as the "Plan Administrator."

The Plan Administrator will have full authority to determine the
persons who are to be granted options under the Plan, the time or times when
such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to be subject to each
such grant, the time or times when each option is to become exercisable and the
maximum period for which the option is to remain outstanding.

4. WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN?

Employees, consultants and other independent advisors in the
Corporation's service who are neither officers of the Corporation nor members of
the Board are eligible to participate in the Plan. However, the actual persons
to whom option grants are to be made under such program will be determined by
the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

18
5. HOW MANY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK MAY BE ISSUED UNDER THE PLAN?

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable over the term
of the Plan may not exceed 141,000 shares, subject to adjustment for certain
changes in the Corporation's capital structure. The Common Stock will be made
available either from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or from
shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Corporation, including shares
repurchased on the open market.

Should one or more outstanding options under the Plan expire or
terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full, the shares of Common Stock
subject to the portion of each such option not so exercised will be available
for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

There are no limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock for
which an eligible individual may be granted options over the term of the Plan.

6. WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE CORPORATION'S CAPITAL
STRUCTURE?

In the event of a Recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will
automatically be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities
issuable under the Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the
exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option. The
adjustments to such outstanding options will preclude the dilution or
enlargement of the rights and benefits available under those options.

For purposes of the Plan, a RECAPITALIZATION is any stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or
other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation's receipt of consideration.

7. CAN THE PLAN BE AMENDED OR TERMINATED?

Yes. The Board has exclusive authority to amend or modify the Plan
in any and all respects. However, no amendment or modification may, without the
holder's consent, adversely affect such individual's rights and obligations
under his or her outstanding options under the Plan.

The Plan will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) October
13, 2007, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the
Plan have been issued or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in
connection with a Corporate Transaction (see the "Early Termination of Options"
section below). Should the Plan terminate on October 13, 2007, then all options
outstanding under the Plan at that time will continue to have force and effect
in accordance with the provisions of the agreements evidencing those options.

GRANT OF OPTIONS

8. HOW ARE OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN?

The Plan Administrator will have complete discretion (subject to the
limitations of the Plan) to determine when and to whom options will be granted
and the terms of each such option grant. The grant will be evidenced by one or
more documents (collectively, the "Option Agreement") executed by the
Corporation and the optionee.

9. WHAT TYPE OF OPTIONS MAY BE GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN?

All options granted under the Plan will be non-statutory options
("Non-Statutory Options") which do not qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

2.
19
10. HOW IS THE EXERCISE PRICE DETERMINED?

The exercise price of an option will be determined by the Plan
Administrator. However, the exercise price of an option will not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
grant date.

11. HOW IS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK DETERMINED?

The fair market value per share of Common Stock on any relevant date
under the Plan will be the closing selling price per share on that date as
reported on the Nasdaq National Market. If the Common Stock is not traded on
that day, the fair market value will be the closing selling price per share on
the last preceding date for which such quotation exists. Stock prices are
reported daily in most major newspapers.

12. CAN THE CORPORATION CANCEL MY OPTION AND GRANT ME A NEW OPTION?

Yes. The Plan Administrator has the authority to cancel outstanding
options and to issue new options in replacement, but your consent will be
required in connection with your participation in any such cancellation/regrant
program. The new options can cover the same or a different number of shares of
Common Stock and will have an exercise price per share based upon the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the new grant date. In addition, it is
likely that the new options will have a vesting schedule based on the new grant
date, without any credit provided for the period the cancelled options were
outstanding.

13. CAN I ASSIGN OR TRANSFER MY OPTION?

No. Your option generally cannot be assigned or transferred, except
by the provisions of your will or the laws of inheritance following your death.
However, your option may be assigned in whole or in part pursuant to a court
order issued in connection with marital dissolution or separation proceedings.

14. WHEN DO I ACQUIRE THE RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER?

You will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the option
shares. You will not acquire shareholder rights until you exercise the option,
pay the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

15. WHEN MAY I EXERCISE MY OPTION?

Your option will become exercisable in a series of installments over
the period that you remain in the Corporation's service. The exercise schedule
applicable to your option will be determined by the Plan Administrator at the
time of grant and will be set forth in the Option Agreement. You may exercise
your option at any time for the shares for which your option is exercisable,
provided you do so before the option terminates.

16. WHEN WILL MY OPTION TERMINATE?

No option granted under the Plan may have a term in excess of ten
(10) years. The actual expiration date of your option will be set forth in the
Option Agreement. Your option may, however, terminate prior to its designated
expiration date in the event of your termination of service or upon the
occurrence of certain other events. See the "Early Termination of Options"
section below.

17. HOW DO I EXERCISE MY OPTION?

3.
20
To exercise your option, you must provide the Corporation with
written notice of the exercise in which you indicate the number of shares to be
purchased under your option. The notice must be accompanied by payment of the
exercise price for the purchased shares, together with appropriate proof that
the person exercising the option (if other than yourself) has the right to
effect such exercise. You will be required to satisfy all applicable income and
employment tax withholding requirements at that time. For information about such
tax withholding, see the "Questions and Answers on Federal Tax Consequences"
section below.

18. HOW DO I PAY THE EXERCISE PRICE?

The exercise price may be paid in cash or check payable to the
Corporation or in shares of Common Stock. Any such shares will be valued at fair
market value on the exercise date and must have been held for the requisite
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial
reporting purposes (generally a six (6)-month period).

Cashless exercises are also permitted. To use this procedure, you
must provide irrevocable instructions to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm
to effect the immediate sale of the shares of Common Stock purchased under your
option and to pay over to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on
the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price
payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable withholding taxes.
Concurrently with such instructions, you must also direct the Corporation to
deliver the certificates for the purchased shares to the brokerage firm in order
to complete the sale.

EARLY TERMINATION OF OPTIONS

19. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS IF MY SERVICE TERMINATES?

After your termination of service, you will have a limited period of
time in which to exercise your outstanding options for any shares of Common
Stock for which those options are exercisable on the date your service
terminates. The length of this period will be set forth in your Option Agreement
and will generally not exceed thirty (30) days. However, your option will in all
events terminate on the specified expiration date of the option term. To the
extent your options are not exercisable for one or more option shares at the
time of your termination of service, your options will immediately terminate and
cease to be outstanding with respect to those shares.

Unless your Option Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you
will be deemed to continue in service for so long as you render services on a
periodic basis to the Corporation, whether as (i) an employee, subject to the
control and direction of the employer entity as to both the work to be performed
and the manner and method of performance, or (ii) a consultant or other
independent advisor.

The Plan Administrator has the discretion to extend the period
during which you may exercise one or more of your options following your
termination of service and/or to permit such options to be exercised not only
with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock for which your options are
at that time exercisable but also with respect to one or more additional
installments for which your options would have become exercisable had you
continued in service. You will be notified in writing in the event the Plan
Administrator decides to provide you with any of these additional benefits.

20. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS IF I AM DISCHARGED FOR MISCONDUCT?

Should you be discharged from service for Misconduct, all of your
outstanding options will immediately terminate. For purposes of the Plan,
MISCONDUCT includes (i) any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, (ii) any
unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of
the Corporation or (iii) any other intentional misconduct adversely affecting
the business or affairs of the Corporation in a material

4.
21
manner. However, the foregoing list is not inclusive of all the acts or
omissions which may be considered as grounds for dismissal or discharge of any
individual in the Corporation's service.

21. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS IF I DIE OR BECOME DISABLED?

If you die while any of your options are outstanding, the personal
representative of your estate or the person or persons to whom the options are
transferred by the provisions of your will or the laws of inheritance following
your death may exercise each of those options for any or all shares of Common
Stock for which the option was exercisable on the date your service with the
Corporation terminated, less any shares you may have subsequently purchased
prior to your death. The right to exercise each such option will lapse upon the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term or (ii) the first anniversary
of the date of your death.

If your service terminates because you become permanently disabled,
you will normally have a period of six (6) months from such termination date
during which to exercise your options for any or all of the shares of Common
Stock for which those options were exercisable at the time of your termination.
In no event, however, may you exercise any option after the expiration of the
option term. For purposes of the Plan, you will be deemed to be permanently
disabled if you are unable to perform any substantial gainful activity by reason
of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment expected to result
in death or to be of continuous duration of twelve (12) consecutive months or
more.

22. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS IF THE CORPORATION IS ACQUIRED OR MERGED?

In the event of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options
under the Plan will automatically accelerate so that each such option will,
immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become
exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that
option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested
shares. However, an outstanding option will NOT become exercisable on such an
accelerated basis, if and to the extent: (i) the option is assumed by the
successor corporation, (ii) such option is replaced with a cash incentive
program which preserves the option spread existing at the time of the Corporate
Transaction on any shares for which the option is not otherwise at that time
exercisable and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same
exercise/vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) such
acceleration of the option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator in the Option Agreement.

All outstanding options under the Plan will, to the extent not
assumed by the successor corporation (or its parent corporation), terminate and
cease to be outstanding immediately following the completion of the Corporate
Transaction.

A CORPORATE TRANSACTION will be deemed to occur upon (i) a merger in
which securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of
the Corporation's outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons
different from the persons holding those securities immediately prior to such
merger or (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all
the assets of the Corporation in liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

23. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS THAT ARE ASSUMED UPON A CORPORATE
TRANSACTION?

Each option under the Plan which is assumed by the successor
corporation (or its parent corporation) will, immediately after the Corporate
Transaction, be appropriately adjusted to apply to the number and class of
securities which would have been issued to the optionee in consummation of the
Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to the
Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments will also be made to the exercise
price payable per share, provided the aggregate exercise price for the option
shares will remain the same.

5.
22
The Plan Administrator may grant options which automatically
accelerate in the event the optionee's service terminates through an Involuntary
Termination effected within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18)
months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction if such
options do not otherwise accelerate at that time. Any option so accelerated will
remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term or
(ii) the end of the one-year period measured from the date of the Involuntary
Termination. You should review your Option Agreement to determine whether the
option you hold will in fact accelerate upon such an Involuntary Termination.

AN INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION will be deemed to occur upon (i) the
optionee's involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Corporation for reasons
other than Misconduct or (ii) such individual's voluntary resignation following
(A) a change in his or her position with the Corporation which materially
reduces his or her duties and level of responsibilities or the level of
management to which he or she reports, (B) a reduction in his or her level of
compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and target bonus under any
corporate performance-based bonus or incentive programs) by more than 15% or (C)
a relocation of such individual's place of employment by more than 50 miles,
provided and only if such change, reduction or relocation is effected by the
Corporation without the optionee's consent.

24. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY OPTIONS IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE
CORPORATION?

The Plan Administrator may provide for the automatic acceleration of
one or more outstanding options under the Plan upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control so that each such option will, immediately prior to the effective
date of such Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common
Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of
those shares as fully vested shares. Any option so accelerated will remain
exercisable for fully vested shares until the expiration or sooner termination
of the option term.

Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition such
acceleration upon the termination of the optionee's service through an
Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18)
months) following the effective date of the Change in Control, so that each such
option will, immediately upon such termination, become exercisable for all the
shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised
for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares. Any option accelerated in
connection with such an Involuntary Termination will remain exercisable for
fully vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term
or (ii) the expiration of the one-year period measured from the date of the
Involuntary Termination. You should review your Option Agreement to determine
whether the option you hold will accelerate upon a Change in Control or upon
your Involuntary Termination following the Change in Control.

A CHANGE IN CONTROL will be deemed to occur in the event (i) any
person (or related group of persons) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial
ownership of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting
power of the Corporation's outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or
exchange offer made directly to the Corporation's shareholders which the Board
does not recommend such shareholders to accept or (ii) there is a change in the
composition of the Board over a period of 24 consecutive months or less such
that a majority of the Board ceases, by reason of one or more contested
elections for Board membership, to be comprised of individuals who either (A)
have been Board members continuously since the beginning of such period or (B)
have been elected or nominated for election as Board members during such period
by at least a majority of the Board members described in clause (A) who were
still in office at the time such election or nomination was approved by the
Board.

DISPOSITION OF OPTION SHARES

25. WHEN CAN I SELL MY SHARES?

6.
23
You may sell your shares of Common Stock at any time.

MISCELLANEOUS

26. DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN IN THE CORPORATION'S SERVICE UNTIL MY
OPTIONS UNDER THE PLAN BECOME EXERCISABLE?

No. Nothing in the Plan or in any option grant under the Plan is
intended to provide any person with the right to remain in the Corporation's
service for any specific period, and both you and the Corporation will each have
the right to terminate your service at any time and for any reason, with or
without cause.

27. ARE THERE ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WOULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY RIGHTS
WITH RESPECT TO AN OPTION?

Yes. The grant of options under the Plan and the issuance of Common
Stock under those options are subject to the Corporation's procurement of all
approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
over the Plan and the securities issuable thereunder. It is possible that the
Corporation could be prevented from granting options or from issuing shares of
Common Stock under the Plan in the event one or more required approvals or
permits were not obtained.

28. DOES THE PLAN RESTRICT THE AUTHORITY OF THE CORPORATION TO GRANT OR
ASSUME OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE PLAN?

No. The Plan does not limit the authority of the Corporation to
grant options outside of the Plan or to grant options to, or assume the options
of, any person in connection with the acquisition of the business and assets of
any firm, corporation or other business entity.

7.
24
29. DOES THE GRANT OF AN OPTION UNDER THE PLAN AFFECT MY ELIGIBILITY TO
PARTICIPATE IN OTHER PLANS OF THE CORPORATION?

No. Option grants made under the Plan do not in any way affect,
limit or restrict your eligibility to participate in any other stock plan or
other compensation or benefit plan or program maintained by the Corporation.

30. WHAT IS A PARENT CORPORATION?

A corporation is a parent corporation if such corporation owns,
directly or indirectly, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of the Corporation's outstanding securities.

31. WHAT IS A SUBSIDIARY CORPORATION?

A corporation is a subsidiary corporation if the Corporation owns,
directly or indirectly, stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of the outstanding securities of that corporation.

32. IS THE PLAN SUBJECT TO ERISA?

The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) or Section 401(a) of the Code.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general description of the Federal income tax
consequences of option grants under the Plan. State and local tax treatment,
which is not discussed below, may vary from such Federal income tax treatment.
You should consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your
particular transactions under the Plan.

NON-STATUTORY OPTIONS

T1. WILL THE GRANT OF A NON-STATUTORY OPTION RESULT IN FEDERAL INCOME
TAX LIABILITY TO ME?

No.

T2. WILL THE EXERCISE OF A NON-STATUTORY OPTION RESULT IN FEDERAL INCOME
TAX LIABILITY TO ME?

You will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the
Non-Statutory Option is exercised in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the
fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over (ii) the
exercise price paid for those shares. This income will be reported by the
Corporation on your W-2 wage statement for the year of exercise (or on a Form
1099 if you are not an employee), and you will be required to satisfy the tax
withholding requirements applicable to this income.

8.
25
T3. WILL I RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL INCOME WHEN I SELL SHARES ACQUIRED UNDER
A NON-STATUTORY OPTION?

Yes. You will recognize a capital gain to the extent the amount
realized upon the sale of such shares exceeds their fair market value at the
time you recognized the ordinary income with respect to their acquisition. A
capital loss will result to the extent the amount realized upon the sale is less
than such fair market value. The gain or loss will be long-term if the shares
are held for more than one year prior to the disposition. (Please see Question
T6 below for the tax rates applicable to capital gain.) The holding period
normally starts at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised.

T4. WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF PAYING THE EXERCISE PRICE OF A
NON-STATUTORY OPTION IN THE FORM OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PREVIOUSLY ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF EMPLOYEE OPTIONS OR THROUGH
OPEN-MARKET PURCHASES?

You will not recognize any taxable income to the extent the shares
of Common Stock received upon the exercise of the Non-Statutory Option equal in
number the shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the exercise price.
For Federal income tax purposes, these newly-acquired shares will have the same
basis and capital gain holding period as the delivered shares.

The additional shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of
the Non-Statutory Option will have to be reported as ordinary income for the
year of exercise in an amount equal to their fair market value on the exercise
date. These additional shares will have a tax basis equal to such fair market
value and a capital gain holding period measured (in general) from the exercise
date.

T5. WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE CORPORATION?

The Corporation will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to
the amount of ordinary income you recognize in connection with the exercise of
the Non-Statutory Option. The deduction will, in general, be allowed for the
taxable year of the Corporation in which you recognize such ordinary income.

FEDERAL TAX RATES

T6. WHAT ARE THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL TAX RATES?

Effective for the 1997 calendar year, the maximum federal tax rate
on ordinary income in excess of $271,050 ($135,525 for a married taxpayer filing
a separate return) is 39.6%. The applicable $271,050 or $135,525 threshold is
subject to cost-of-living adjustments in taxable years beginning after December
31, 1997. Certain limitations are imposed upon a taxpayer's itemized deductions,
and the personal exemptions claimed by the taxpayer are subject to phase-out.
These limitations may result in the taxation of ordinary income at an effective
top marginal rate in excess of 39.6%.

Short-term capital gains are subject to the same tax rates as
ordinary income. The following table summarizes the long-term capital gains tax
rates applicable to the sale or disposition of capital assets after July 28,
1997:

Holding Period Capital Gains Tax Rate
-------------- ----------------------

More than 1 year but not more than 18 months 28% (15% for individuals not subject to the 28% tax
rate on their ordinary income)

More than 18 months 20% (10% for individuals not subject to the 28% tax
rate on their ordinary income)

9.
26
Beginning in 2001, capital gain recognized on the sale or
disposition of capital assets held for more than five (5) years by individuals
not subject to the 28% tax rate on their ordinary income will be subject to tax
at a rate of 8%.

Beginning in 2006, capital gain recognized on the sale or
disposition of capital assets held for more than five (5) years by individuals
subject to the 28% tax rate on their ordinary income will be taxed at a rate of
18%, provided the holding period for such property begins after December 31,
2000. However, any capital gain recognized on the sale or disposition of shares
of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option under the
Plan will NOT be eligible for the 18% tax rate unless the option is granted
after December 31, 2000.

For the tax year ending December 31, 1997, itemized deductions are
reduced by 3% of the amount by which the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for
the year exceeds $121,200 ($60,600 for a married taxpayer filing a separate
return). However, the reduction may not, exceed 80% of the total itemized
deductions (excluding medical expenses, casualty and theft losses, and certain
investment interest expense) claimed by the taxpayer. The applicable $121,200 or
$60,600 threshold is subject to cost-of-living adjustments in taxable years
beginning after December 31, 1997.

In addition, the deduction for personal exemptions claimed by the
taxpayer is reduced by 2% for each $2,500 ($1,250 for a married taxpayer filing
a separate return) or fraction thereof by which the taxpayer's adjusted gross
income for the year exceeds a specified threshold amount. The applicable
thresholds for 1997 are $181,800 for married taxpayers filing joint returns (and
in certain instances, surviving spouses), $151,500 for heads of households,
$121,200 for single taxpayers and $90,900 for married taxpayers filing separate
returns. Accordingly, the deduction is completely eliminated for any taxpayer
whose adjusted gross income for the year exceeds the applicable threshold amount
by more than $122,500. The threshold amounts will be subject to cost-of-living
adjustments in taxable years beginning after December 31, 1997.
