PROXY STATEMENT

-----------------------

PERCEPTRON, INC.
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD AT 9:00 A.M. ON DECEMBER 9, 2002

-----------------------

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy, which were first
mailed to shareholders on approximately October 28, 2002, are furnished in
connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of Perceptron, Inc. (the "Company") for use at the Annual Meeting
of Shareholders of the Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the
corporate offices of the Company on Monday, December 9, 2002, at 9:00 a.m.,
local time, and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in this Proxy
Statement. The corporate offices of the Company are located at 47827 Halyard
Drive, Plymouth, Michigan 48170, and the Company's telephone number is (734)
414-6100.

Only holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the
"Common Stock") at the close of business on October 18, 2002 (the "Record Date")
will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any
adjournments thereof. Shareholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to
one vote per share on any matter that may properly come before the Annual
Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 8,244,453 shares of Common Stock
outstanding and entitled to vote. The presence, either in person or by properly
executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. See "Further
Information -- Share Ownership of Management and Certain Shareholders" for a
description of the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock.

Directors, officers and other employees of the Company may solicit, without
additional compensation, proxies by any appropriate means, including personal
interview, mail, telephone, courier service and facsimile transmissions.
Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries which are record holders of the Company's Common Stock
to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of such shares and
the Company will reimburse such record holders for their reasonable expenses
incurred in connection therewith. The cost of soliciting proxies, including the
preparation, assembling and mailing of the Notice of Meeting, Proxy Statement,
form of proxy and any other soliciting material, as well as the cost of
forwarding such material to the beneficial owners of Common Stock, will be borne
by the Company. Only one Proxy Statement will be delivered to multiple
shareholders sharing an address unless the Company has received contrary
instructions from one or more of the shareholders. Upon written or oral request
from a shareholder who shares an address with another shareholder, the Company
shall deliver a separate copy of the Proxy Statement. In the future,
shareholders can call or write the Company for a separate annual report or proxy
statement at (734) 414-6100 or 47827 Halyard Drive, Plymouth, Michigan
48170-2461. Similarly, those shareholders who share an address and wish to
receive only one copy of the annual report or proxy statement when they are
receiving multiple copies can also call or write the Company at the number and
address given above.

Shares represented by a duly executed proxy, unless previously revoked,
will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the
shareholder thereon if the proxy is received by the Company before the close of
business on December 6, 2002. Shares represented by a proxy received after
December 6, 2002 will be voted if the proxy is received by the Company in
sufficient time to permit the necessary examination and tabulation of the proxy
before the vote of shareholders is taken. A proxy also gives Messrs. Pease,
Garber and Vaughn discretionary authority to vote all shares of Common Stock
represented by the proxy on any other matter that is properly presented for
action at the meeting; however, the Board of Directors does not intend to
present any other matters at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy given pursuant to
this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it
is voted. Proxies may be revoked by (i) filing with the Secretary of the
Company, at or before the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing
a later date than the proxy, (ii) duly executing a subsequent proxy relating to
the

same shares and delivering it to the Secretary of the Company at the Company's
corporate offices at or before the Annual Meeting, or (iii) attending the Annual
Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not
in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy).

Abstentions, and withheld votes with respect to the election of directors,
are counted only for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the
2002 Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes are not counted for any purpose. Directors
are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, so that only votes cast "for"
directors are counted in determining which directors are elected. Approval of
the proposal to amend the 1992 Stock Option Plan requires a majority of the
votes cast on the matter. For purposes of determining the number of votes cast
with respect to the proposal to amend the 1992 Stock Option Plan, only those
cast "for" or "against" are included, and abstentions and broker non-votes are
not counted for this purpose.

MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

PROPOSAL 1 -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to elect a board of seven
directors to hold office, in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, until
the 2003 annual meeting and until the election and qualification of their
successors, or until their resignation or removal. The following table sets
forth information regarding the nominees for election to the Company's Board of
Directors. The shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in
accordance with the specifications made therein. PROXIES WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THE
ELECTION OF SUCH NOMINEES UNLESS THE SPECIFICATION IS MARKED ON THE PROXY
INDICATING THAT AUTHORITY TO DO SO IS WITHHELD. If a nominee is unable to serve
or, for good cause, will not serve, the proxy confers discretionary authority to
vote with respect to the election of any person to the Board. The nominees
receiving a plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected to the
Board of Directors. Shares may not be voted cumulatively for the election of
directors.

The nominees named below have been selected by the Board of Directors of

PROPOSAL 2 -- AMENDMENT TO THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 1992 PLAN

The Company proposes to amend the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan")
to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under
such plan by 400,000 shares, from 2,414,286 to 2,814,286 (the "1992 Plan
Amendment"). The Board of Directors believes that the 1992 Plan Amendment will
assist the Company in its efforts to attract and retain highly-qualified
executives and provide incentive to the Company's existing executive team.

The 1992 Amendment is necessitated by the fact that there are insufficient
shares of Common Stock currently available under the 1992 Plan for the Company
to continue to grant options to new and existing officers. The amendment, if
approved by the shareholders of the Company, will permit the continued use of
options to attract new executives and to retain and provide incentive to the
Company's existing executive team. The 1992 Plan has not been amended to add
additional shares to the Plan since April 14, 1999.

The Company's executive officer and management compensation program
reflects the Company's philosophy that executive compensation should be linked
to performance. As a result, the Company's Management Development Committee has
historically favored stock-based compensation incentives for the Company's
executives, such as stock options which permit the executives to buy a specified
number of shares of Common Stock at the fair market value on the date an option
is granted. Such stock options gain value only if the price of the Common Stock
increases above the exercise price.

Further, the Company has a continuing need to attract highly qualified
executive candidates to meet the Company's personnel requirements. The Company
utilizes stock options as part of a standard compensation package developed to
attract such candidates.

If the 1992 Plan is amended as proposed, the Company intends to continue to
use stock options as a key component of its executive compensation program as
described above.

If the 1992 Plan Amendment to the 1992 Plan is not adopted, the Company
believes that the number of available option shares would be inadequate to meet
the Company's needs and would significantly impede the Company's ability to
attract new executives and to retain existing key executive team members.

Of the 2,414,286 shares available under the 1992 Plan, as of October 18,
2002, 98,616 shares are available for future grants, 1,267,733 are reserved for
outstanding grants under the 1992 Plan and the remainder have been issued upon
exercise of stock options previously granted under the 1992 Plan.

REQUIRED VOTE

Approval of the proposed amendment to the 1992 Plan requires a majority of
the votes cast on the matter. PROXIES WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED ON THE PROXY.

THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN

The 1992 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 21, 1992 and
approved by the shareholders on April 27, 1992 and has been amended on several
occasions thereafter. The 1992 Plan expires on April 20, 2012. Most recently the
Plan was amended on August 16, 2002 to increase the total number of shares of
Common Stock available for grant under such plan from 2,414,286 to 2,814,286.
Such amendment is being submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Annual
Meeting. A copy of the 1992 Plan along with the proposed amendment will be
furnished to any shareholder upon written request to the Secretary of the
Company at the executive offices of the Company in Plymouth, Michigan.

As of October 18, 2002, an aggregate of 1,267,733 shares of the Common
Stock are reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the
1992 Plan, and an additional 400,000 will be reserved upon approval of the
proposed amendment to the 1992 Plan. If, for any reason, an option lapses,
expires or terminates without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased
shares covered thereby are again available for grants of options under the 1992
Plan. In addition, if the option is exercised by delivery to the Company of
shares previously acquired pursuant to options granted under the 1992 Plan or
for options granted prior to January 1, 1998, by an optionee through the
retention by the Company of a portion of the option in payment of the exercise
price of such option, then shares of Common Stock underlying the retained option
and shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the exercise price of an
option as described above will again be available for grants of options under
the 1992 Plan.

Pursuant to the 1992 Plan, employees of the Company (approximately 218
persons) may be granted incentive stock options ("ISOs") within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
other persons (including employees) may be granted nonqualified options to
acquire Common Stock. The purpose of the 1992 Plan is to encourage employees of
the Company and certain other persons to acquire Common Stock. The Company
believes that stock option grants to employees help to provide an incentive for
their continued employment, and to attract and retain highly qualified employees
and otherwise more closely align the interests of the Company's employees with
those of the Company and its shareholders.

The 1992 Plan presently is administered by the Management Development
Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the 1992 Plan, the Management
Development Committee has authority, in its discretion, to determine which
employees and other persons receive options, the times when options will be
granted, the exercise price of each option, the period during which each option
may be exercised, the number of shares subject to each option and the terms of
the respective option agreements covering each option. At present, the
Management Development Committee is only granting options under the 1992 Plan to
the officers of the Company, although it may in the future grant options under
the 1992 Plan to other key team members or other persons. The Management
Development Committee may set aside a fixed number of shares of Common Stock out
of the shares available under the 1992 Plan for grants by the President to
employees of the Company who are not officers of the Company. Currently, the
President does not have authority to grant options under the 1992 Plan.

Stock options granted under the 1992 Plan are exercisable upon such terms
within the parameters of the 1992 Plan as the Management Development Committee,
in its discretion, may determine. No option granted under the 1992 Plan may be
exercisable more than ten years from the date upon which it was granted. In
addition, no option granted under the 1992 Plan may be exercisable within six
months from the date of grant by persons subject to Section 16 (b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No ISO shall be exercisable by any
employee who has not been in the continuous employ of the Company for a period
of at least one year from the date of grant. Employees possessing more than ten
percent of the voting stock of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs;
provided, however, that the option price of ISOs granted to such employees shall
not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares covered by the ISOs
on the date of grant and such ISOs shall not be exercisable more than five years
after the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted under the 1992
Plan shall be no less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant. The last reported sale price of the Common Stock, as quoted on The
Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market (the "Nasdaq National Market"), on October
18, 2002 was $1.25 per share.

The exercise price is payable in full in cash at the time of exercise; or
in shares of Common Stock, (but generally, only if such shares have been owned
for at least six months); or, in the case of nonqualified stock options or in
the case of ISOs issued on or after May 21, 1993, the exercise price may be paid
by delivery to the Company of a properly executed exercise notice, acceptable to
the Company, together with irrevocable instructions to the participant's broker
to deliver to the Company sufficient cash to pay the exercise price and any
applicable income and employment withholding taxes, in accordance with a written
agreement between the Company and the brokerage firm ("cashless exercise"
procedure); or, in the case of nonqualified stock options or in the case of ISOs
issued on or after October 21, 1994, or before January 1, 1998, the option
exercise price may be paid through the retention by the Company of shares of
Common Stock which would otherwise be transferred to the optionee upon the
exercise of exercisable options, with such retained shares having a value equal
to the difference between the fair market value of the shares being retained
(determined as of the date of exercise of the options), less the exercise price
of such options (but generally, only if the optionee then owns, and has owned
for at least six months, at least an equal number of shares of Common Stock as
the option shares being retained) or, in the case of ISOs issued prior to
January 1, 1997, may be paid in three installments as hereinafter provided or, a
combination of the foregoing. In the event of payments in installments, 50% of
the purchase price will be paid on the date of exercise and on such date the
optionee will execute and deliver to the Company the optionee's promissory note
making the optionee personally liable to pay the balance of the purchase price
in two installments on the first and second anniversaries of the date of
exercise. The promissory note will bear interest at a rate determined by the
Management Development Committee and will be secured by a pledge of the Common
Stock being purchased.

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Company may deduct compensation paid
to the Company's chief executive officer and to each of its four highly
compensated executive officers only to the extent that it does not exceed
$1,000,000 during any fiscal year, unless the compensation constitutes
"performance-based" compensation. In general, compensation attributable to a
stock option or stock appreciation right is deemed to be based on performance if
(i) the grant is made by the corporation's compensation committee; (ii) the plan
under which the grant is made includes a limit on the number of shares with
respect to which options may be granted per employee during a specified period;
and (iii) the amount of compensation that an employee may receive under the
terms of the option is based solely on the increase in value of the stock after
the date of grant. The 1992 Plan provides that no employee shall be eligible to
receive aggregate option grants under the 1992 Plan in any one fiscal year to
purchase more than 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, as
described above, grants under the 1992 Plan may only be made by the Management
Development Committee and the option price may not be less than fair market
value. Generally, stock options granted under the 1992 Plan constitute
"performance-based" compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

the option or one year after the date of termination of employment, but only to
the extent of the accrued right to purchase at the date of such termination. If
any optionee dies while employed by the Company and, if at the date of death,
the optionee is entitled to exercise an option, such option may be exercised by
any person who acquires the option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the
death of the optionee, or by the executor or administrator of the estate of the
optionee, at any time before the earlier of the expiration date of the option or
one year after the date of death of the optionee, but only to the extent of the
accrued right to purchase at the date of death.

All agreements issued to date under the 1992 Plan contain provisions
accelerating the exercisability of options granted under the 1992 Plan in the
event of certain mergers and sales of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company.

See "Further Information - Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
- - Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements" for a
description of additional provisions applicable to the executive officers named
in the Summary Compensation Table.

AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION

The 1992 Plan may be suspended or terminated in its entirety at any time by
the Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors may suspend,
terminate or amend the 1992 Plan at any time without the approval of
shareholders; provided, however, that the approval of shareholders is required
for any amendment which: (i) increases the total number of shares of stock which
may be issued and sold under the 1992 Plan; (ii) decreases the minimum option
price; (iii) alters the class of employees eligible for grants of options; (iv)
increases the maximum term of options granted under the 1992 Plan; (v) reduces
the period of time after the date of grant during which an employee must remain
in the employ of the Company in order to exercise an option; (vi) increases the
term of the 1992 Plan; (vii) withdraws the administration of the 1992 Plan from
a committee of the Board of Directors; or (viii) otherwise materially increases
the benefits accruing to participants under the 1992 Plan.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

Incentive Stock Options. Under the Code as now in effect, at the time an
ISO is granted or exercised, the optionee will not recognize income and the
Company will not be entitled to any deduction. However, the difference between
the exercise price and the fair market value of the purchased shares on the date
of exercise is a tax preference item which may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax in the year the ISO is exercised. The holder of an ISO
generally will be accorded long-term capital gain or loss treatment on the
disposition of Common Stock acquired by exercise of the option; provided that
the disposition (i) occurs more than two years from the date of grant, and (ii)
one year from the date of exercise. An optionee who disposes of shares acquired
upon exercise of an ISO prior to the expiration of the foregoing holding periods
recognizes ordinary income upon the disqualifying disposition equal to the
difference between the option price and the lesser of the fair market value of
the shares on the date of exercise or the date of disposition. Any appreciation
between the date of exercise and date of disposition is taxed as long or
short-term capital gain, depending upon the holding period of the shares.
Payment of the exercise price by surrendering shares of Common Stock generally
will not result in the recognition of a gain or loss on the shares surrendered.
If an ISO is tendered by the retention by the Company of shares of Common Stock
underlying the ISO, the optionee will recognize ordinary income in the year the
option is exercised equal to the difference between the fair market value on the
date of exercise of the Common Stock retained by the Company to satisfy the
option price and the exercise price of the ISO. The optionee's basis for the
newly acquired shares will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on
the exercise date, and the optionee's holding period will begin on the day after
the date of exercise. To the extent ordinary income is recognized by the
optionee, the Company may deduct a corresponding amount as compensation.

Nonqualified Stock Options. Upon the exercise of a nonqualified option, an
optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the
option price and the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of
exercise. When the optionee disposes of shares acquired by the exercise of an
option, the amount received in excess of the fair market value on the date of
exercise will be treated as long or short-term capital gain, depending on the
holding period of the shares. Payment of the option price for shares of Common
Stock by surrender of shares of Common Stock previously owned by the optionee
will not give rise to a recognized gain on the shares surrendered. If a
nonqualified option is exercised with payment by Common Stock, to the extent the
number of new

shares received upon the exercise of a nonqualified option exceeds the number of
shares surrendered upon the exercise of such option, the fair market value of
the additional shares on the date the option is exercised, reduced by the amount
of any cash paid by the optionee upon the exercise of the option, will be
taxable to the optionee as ordinary income in the year the option is exercised.
The optionee's basis and holding period for the number of newly-acquired shares
equal to the number of surrendered shares will carry over from the surrendered
shares on a share-for-share basis. The optionee's basis in the remaining shares
will equal the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date, and the
optionee's holding period will begin on the day after the date on which the
optionee's tax basis is determined. If the option price of a nonqualified option
is tendered through the retention by the Company of shares of Common Stock
underlying the nonqualified option, the optionee will recognize ordinary income
in the year the option is exercised equal to the difference between the fair
market value on the date of exercise of the Common Stock retained by the Company
to satisfy the option price and the exercise price of such options. The
optionee's basis for the newly acquired shares will be equal to the fair market
value of the shares on the exercise date, and the optionee's holding period will
begin on the day after the date of exercise. To the extent ordinary income is
recognized by the optionee, the Company may deduct a corresponding amount as
compensation.

1998 GLOBAL TEAM MEMBER STOCK OPTION PLAN

On February 26, 1998, the Company's Board approved the 1998 Global Team
Member Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"), pursuant to which non-qualified
stock options may be granted to employees who are not officers or directors or
subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The 1998 Plan has
been amended by the Board on several occasions thereafter.

The purpose of the 1998 Plan is to promote the Company's success by linking
the personal interests of non-executive employees to those of the Company's
shareholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding
performance. The 1998 Plan authorizes the granting of non-qualified stock
options only. The President of the Company administers the 1998 Plan and has the
power to set the terms of any grants under the 1998 Plan. The exercise price of
an option may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on
the date of grant and no option may have a term of more than ten years. All of
the options that are currently outstanding under the 1998 Plan become
exercisable ratably over a four-year period beginning at the grant date and
expire ten years from the date of grant. If, for any reason, an option lapses,
expires or terminates without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased
shares covered thereby are again available for grants of options under the 1998
Plan. In addition, if the option is exercised by delivery to the Company of
shares previously acquired pursuant to options granted under the 1998 Plan, then
shares of Common Stock delivered in payment of the exercise price of an option
will again be available for grants of options under the 1998 Plan.

The exercise price is payable in full in cash at the time of exercise; or
in shares of Common Stock, (but generally, only if such shares have been owned
for at least six months or, if they have not been owned by the optionee for at
least six months, the optionee then owns, and has owned for at least six months,
at least an equal number of shares of Common Stock as the option shares being
delivered); or the exercise price may be paid by delivery to the Company of a
properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions to the
participant's broker to deliver to the Company sufficient cash to pay the
exercise price and any applicable income and employment withholding taxes, in
accordance with a written agreement between the Company and the brokerage firm
("cashless exercise" procedure).

Generally, if the employment by the Company of any optionee who is an
employee terminates for any reason, other than by death or total and permanent
disability, any option which the optionee is entitled to exercise on the date of
employment termination may be exercised by the optionee at any time on or before
the earlier of the expiration date of the option or three months after the date
of employment termination, but only to the extent of the accrued right to
purchase at the date of such termination. In addition, the President of the
Company has the discretionary power to extend the date to exercise beyond three
months after the date of employment termination. If the employment of any
optionee who is an employee is terminated because of total and permanent
disability, the option may be exercised by the optionee at any time on or before
the earlier of the expiration date of the option or one year after the date of
termination of employment, but only to the extent of the accrued right to
purchase at the date of such termination. If any optionee dies while employed by
the Company and, if at the date of death, the optionee is entitled to exercise
an option, such option may be exercised by any person who acquires the option by
bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the optionee, or by the
executor or administrator of the estate of the optionee, at any time before the
earlier of the expiration date of the option or one year after the date of death
of the optionee, but only to the extent of the accrued right to purchase at the
date of death.

The 1998 Plan provides for acceleration of vesting of awards in the event
of a change of control of the Company. See "Further Information - Compensation
of Directors and Executive Officers - Termination of Employment and Change of
Control Arrangements" for a definition of change of control. The 1998 Plan will
terminate automatically on February 25, 2008. However, the Board may amend or
terminate the 1998 Plan at any time without shareholder approval, but no
amendment or termination of the 1998 Plan or any award agreement may adversely
affect any award previously granted under the 1998 Plan without the consent of
the participant.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's directors,
its executive (and certain other) officers, and any persons holding more than
ten percent of the Common Stock are required to report their ownership of the
Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Specific due
dates for these reports have been established and the Company is required to
report in this proxy statement any failure to file by these dates during the
Company's last fiscal year. All of these filing requirements were satisfied by
the Company's officers, directors and ten percent shareholders, except that Mr.
Marz failed to file on a timely basis one report relating to a single
transaction in Common Stock beneficially owned by him. In making these
statements, the Company has relied on the written representations of its
directors, officers and ten percent shareholders and copies of the reports that
have been filed with the Commission.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

DIRECTORS

All of the members of the Board of Directors who are not employed by the
Company (the "Eligible Directors") will receive an annual retainer of $10,000,
paid quarterly in the amount of $2,500. All Eligible Directors who serve on more
than one committee of the Board of Directors shall receive $2,000 for each
committee in excess of one on which he serves. All Eligible Directors receive
$1,250 for each Board meeting attended. In addition, directors are reimbursed
for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board and committee
meetings. Directors are also eligible to participate in the Company's 1992 Stock
Option Plan (the "1992 Plan").

All Eligible Directors participate in the Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors Plan"). Any Eligible Director who is first elected or appointed after
February 9, 1995 will receive an Option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common
Stock on the date of his or her election or appointment ("Initial Option"). In
addition, each Eligible Director who has been a director for six months before
the date of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders held during the term of the
Directors Plan automatically will be granted, as of the date of such Annual
Meeting, an option to purchase an additional 3,000 shares of Common Stock (an
"Annual Option"). The Directors Plan expires on February 9, 2005. The exercise
price of options granted under the Directors Plan is the last reported sale
price per share of the Company's Common Stock as quoted on The Nasdaq Stock
Market Inc.'s National Market on the date of grant. Each option granted under
the Directors Plan as an Initial Option becomes exercisable in full on the first
anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted as Annual Options become
exercisable in three annual increments of 33 1/3% of the shares subject to the
option. The exercisability of such options is accelerated in the event of the
occurrence of certain changes in control of the Company. All options granted
under the Plan are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant,
unless earlier terminated due to the termination of the Eligible Director's
service as a director of the Company.

The Directors Plan also permits Eligible Directors to purchase shares of
Common Stock through the Directors Plan in exchange for all or a portion of the
cash fees payable to them for serving as a director of the Company ("Directors
Stock Purchase Plan Option"). By December 31 of each year, a director must make
his or her election to purchase shares of Common Stock in exchange for all or a
portion of directors fees payable from December 1 of that year to December 1 of
the next year.

Directors fees are payable in cash on March 1, June 1, September 1 and
December 1 of each year. On each of these dates, the Company will determine the
number of shares of Common Stock each Director who has elected to participate in
the Directors Stock Purchase Plan Option has earned on that date. This
determination will be made by

dividing all director's fees payable on each of those dates which the Director
has elected to exchange for Common Stock, by the fair market value of the Common
Stock on that date. Any portion of the director's fees payable on each of those
dates which the Director has not elected to receive in Common Stock will be paid
to the Director in cash. The fair market value of the Common Stock will be
determined by using the average of the closing sales price of the Common Stock
on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.'s National Market for the five consecutive
trading days on The Nasdaq's Stock Market, Inc.'s National Market immediately
preceding the date of determination. The Company will issue share certificates
for all shares of Common Stock purchased in a calendar year by December 15th of
such year unless a director requests to receive his or her share certificate at
any time during the year by sending written notice to the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Mr. Pease serves in his present capacity pursuant to the terms of an
employment agreement. Mr. Pease's agreement provides for an annual base salary
of $200,000, subject to increase at the discretion of the Management Development
Committee, benefits comparable to the Company's other executive officers,
including life, disability and health insurance and the use of a Company leased
automobile and an annual performance bonus target level of 60% of his base
salary. Mr. Pease's base salary for fiscal year 2003 is $280,000 effective
August 16, 2002 and he will receive reimbursement of reasonable monthly club
dues. In the event Mr. Pease's employment is terminated without cause, his
salary and benefits will continue for twelve months and he will earn a pro rata
portion of any bonus that would have been earned in the year of the termination.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Payments due to Mr. Pease upon termination of his employment with the
Company are described above under "Further Information -- Compensation of
Directors and Executive Officers -- Executive Officers -- Employment
Agreements."

Agreements relating to stock options granted under the 1992 Plan to each of
the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, as well as
certain other officers of the Company, also provide that such options become
immediately exercisable in the event that the optionee's employment is
terminated without cause, or there is a diminishment of the optionee's
responsibilities, following a Change of Control of the Company or, if, in the
event of a Change of Control, such options are not assumed by the person
surviving the Change of Control or purchasing the assets in the Change of
Control. A "Change of Control" is generally defined as a merger of the Company
in which the Company is not the survivor, certain share exchange transactions,
the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
or any person or group of persons (as defined by Section 13(d) the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) acquires more than 50% of the Common Stock
("Option Acceleration Provision").

MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT, COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND
INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Management Development, Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the
Board of Directors ("Management Development Committee") currently consists of
Messrs. DeCocco, Beattie and Marz. During fiscal year 2002, no member of the
Management Development Committee served as an officer or employee of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries nor had any member of the Management Development
Committee formerly served as an officer of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. During fiscal year 2002, none of the executive officers of the
Company served on the board of directors or on the compensation committee of any
other entity, any of whose executive officers served either on the Board of
Directors or on the Management Development Committee of the Company.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT,
COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE

The Management Development Committee is responsible for the planning,
review and administration of the Company's executive compensation program and
the Company's stock-based executive compensation programs, including the 1992
Stock Option Plan. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 all members of
this Committee were non-employee directors of the Company.

The Company's objective is to provide a superior return to its
shareholders. To support this objective, the Company believes it must attract,
retain and motivate top quality executive talent. The Company's executive
compensation program is a critical tool in this process.

The Company's executive compensation program has been designed to link
executive compensation to Company performance through at-risk compensation
opportunities, providing significant reward to executives who contribute to the
Company's success. The Company's executive compensation program consists of base
salary, annual cash profit sharing incentive opportunities and long-term
incentives represented by stock options.

The base salary, annual cash profit sharing incentive opportunity, stock
option and other compensation terms of new executive officers are established
based upon each executive's qualifications, position and level of responsibility
as compared with the Company's other executives.

BASE SALARY

The Management Development Committee recognizes the importance of a
competitive compensation structure in retaining and attracting valuable senior
executives. Executive salary levels are reviewed and established annually. The
salaries received by the Company's executives generally reflect their levels of
responsibility, the profitability of the Company and other factors, such as
assessments of individual performance.

Because of the Company's financial performance in fiscal year 2001 and
fiscal year 2002, prior to the Company's sale of its forest products business
unit, the Management Development Committee did not increase the base salary of
Alfred A. Pease, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, or any other executive officer of the Company, for fiscal year
2002.

ANNUAL PROFIT SHARING

The Company's executive officers are eligible for annual cash profit
sharing incentive opportunities. Generally, at the beginning of each year, the
Management Development Committee develops a profit sharing plan applicable to
all executives of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. The Company determined not to implement an annual profit sharing plan
for fiscal year 2002. This decision was based primarily on the significant
uncertainties in the Company's operating performance for fiscal year 2002 as a
result of economic conditions which made it difficult to implement a plan with
meaningful targets and objectives. Further, the Company did not believe that the
level of Company profitability for fiscal year 2002 was likely to justify
bonuses for the executive officers of the Company. For this reason, no
discretionary bonuses were paid to Mr. Pease or the other executive officers for
the year.

STOCK OPTIONS

Stock option grants have historically been utilized by the Company as part
of its compensation program for all levels of team members, including the
Company's executives. The Company's stock option program permits team members to
buy a specific number of shares of Common Stock in the future, at the fair
market value of such shares on the date the option is granted. Since stock
options gain value only if the price of the Common Stock increases above the
option exercise price, this use of stock option grants reflects the Company's
philosophy of linking compensation to performance. In addition, the Committee
believes that stock option grants to team members help to provide an incentive
for their continued employment and otherwise more closely align their interests
with those of

the Company and its shareholders. The Company also utilizes stock options as
part of its standard compensation package developed to attract highly qualified
candidates to the Company.

Mr. Pease was granted options under the 1992 Stock Option Plan to purchase
120,000 shares of Common Stock in fiscal year 2002. The grant reflected the
Management Development Committee's evaluation of Mr. Pease's performance in
fiscal year 2001 and the first six months of fiscal year 2002, particularly the
disposition of the Company's forest products business unit, and the Committee's
decision not to increase his base salary in fiscal year 2002. In addition, in
determining the number of option shares granted to Mr. Pease, the Committee took
into consideration that 230,000 of Mr. Pease's option shares, constituting
approximately 50% of Mr. Pease's stock options, had an exercise price in excess
of $20.00 per share. The Committee was concerned that Mr. Pease's existing stock
options did not provide him with the appropriate level of long-term compensation
incentive. The Committee also believed that an additional option grant at the
120,000 share level was appropriate to more closely align the interests of Mr.
Pease with those of the Company and its shareholders.

In fiscal year 2002, the Management Development Committee also granted
options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the 1992 Stock Option Plan to
the executive officers of the Company. The Company's executive officers each
received grants of options to purchase between 10,000 and 25,000 shares of
Common Stock. The grants reflected, in part, the Committee's decision not to
increase the base salaries of the executive officers of the Company in fiscal
year 2002. The size of the grants were made based on the Committee's evaluation
of the contributions made by each of the executive officers to improving the
Company operating performance.

Options granted to Mr. Pease and the other executive officers in fiscal
year 2002 become exercisable in four equal annual installments, beginning one
year from their date of grant, at an exercise price equal to the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant, which was $1.24.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Board of Directors of the Company has reviewed the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code and related regulations of the Internal Revenue Service
which restrict deductibility of executive compensation paid to any of the five
most highly compensated executive officers at the end of the fiscal year to the
extent such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 in any year.

The Board of Directors of the Company has established certain restrictions
on the granting of options under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan so that
compensation realized in connection with the exercise of options granted under
such plan would be exempt from the restrictions on deductibility described
above. The 1992 Stock Option Plan restricts to 200,000 the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be subject to options granted to any salaried employee in
any fiscal year. It is important to note that while this restriction allows the
Management Development Committee continuing discretion in establishing executive
officer compensation, it does limit such discretion by restricting the size of
option awards which the Management Development Committee may grant to any single
individual. The permitted size of the option award to a single individual was
established based on the Committee's determination of the maximum number of
option shares which would be required to be granted in any fiscal year to retain
or attract a chief executive officer of the Company.

The Board of Directors does not believe that other components of the
Company's compensation program are likely to result in payments to any executive
officer in any year which would be subject to the restriction on deductibility,
and therefore concluded that no further action with respect to qualifying such
compensation for deductibility was necessary at this time. The Board of
Directors will continue to evaluate the advisability of qualifying future
executive compensation programs for deductibility under the Internal Revenue
Code.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

GENERAL

The accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP ("Grant Thornton") has been
appointed by the Board of Directors to audit the consolidated financial
statements for the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003.
Representatives of Grant Thornton are expected to be at the Annual Meeting and
to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Such representatives will
have the opportunity to make a statement at such meeting if they desire to do
so.

On March 8, 2002, after a competitive bid process, the Company, after
approval by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as the Company's independent accountants. The
audit reports of PwC on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
fiscal years ending June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 did not contain an adverse
opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and through March 8,
2002, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principle
or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused them to make
reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.
Additionally, during the two most recent fiscal years and through March 8, 2002,
there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K.

PwC furnished the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and
Exchange Commission stating that it agreed with the statements made in the two
preceding paragraphs by the Company. A copy of such letter, dated March 13,
2002, is filed as Exhibit 16 to the Company's Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2002
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

After approval by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company
engaged Grant Thornton as its new independent accountants as of March 8, 2002.

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

AUDIT FEES. Grant Thornton billed the Company a total of $37,870 for
professional services in connection with the review of the financial statements
included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and the
audit of the fiscal year 2002 consolidated financial statements. In addition,
PwC which served as the Company's independent accountants until March 8, 2002
billed the Company a total of $12,995 for professional services in connection
with the review of the financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q
for the quarters ended September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001. In addition,
subsequent to last year's proxy statement, PwC billed the Company $31,812 for
professional services in connection with the audit of the fiscal year 2001
consolidated financial statements. In addition, PwC billed the Company an
additional $16,144 for professional services provided by PwC in connection with
the review of the financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q for
the quarters ended September 30, 2000, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES. Neither Grant
Thornton nor PwC billed the Company for operating, designing or supervising the
Company's computer, financial or information systems during fiscal year 2002.

ALL OTHER FEES. Grant Thornton billed the Company a total of $33,398 for
other services rendered during fiscal year 2002. These were primarily for tax
consultative services. PwC also billed the Company a total of $77,650 for other
services rendered during fiscal year 2002. These were primarily for tax
consultative services.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors does not consider the
provision of the services described above by Grant Thornton or PwC to be
incompatible with the maintenance of Grant Thornton's or PwC's independence.

PROPOSALS BY SHAREHOLDERS FOR 2003 ANNUAL MEETING

Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2003 annual meeting
which are eligible for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for that
meeting under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,

Company at 47827 Halyard Drive, Plymouth, Michigan 48170, no later than June 27,
2003 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company's Proxy Statement
relating to that meeting. In order to curtail controversy as to the date on
which a proposal was received by the Company, it is suggested that proposals be
submitted by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2003 annual meeting
which are not eligible for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement for that
meeting under Rule 14a-8 are considered untimely under Rule 14a-5 promulgated
under the Exchange Act unless received by the Secretary of the Company at the
Company's offices no later than September 9, 2003 and the Company expects the
persons named as proxies for the 2003 annual meeting to use their discretionary
voting authority with respect to any proposal considered untimely at the 2003
annual meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

At the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors is not aware of
any matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those

Appendix 1

PERCEPTRON, INC.

1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN
(Amended and Restated October 31, 1996)

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Perceptron, Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan (this
"Plan") is to encourage Employees (as defined in Section 7) of Perceptron, Inc.
(the "Company") to acquire Common Stock of the Company ("Stock") through
Incentive Stock Options (as hereinafter defined) and to permit the Company to
grant Non-qualified Options (as hereinafter defined) to key persons, including
Employees of the Company. It is believed that this Plan will encourage Employees
to have a greater financial investment in the Company through ownership of its
Common Stock, will further stimulate their efforts on the Company's behalf, will
tend to maintain and strengthen their desire to remain with the Company, and
generally will be in the interest of the Company and its shareholders. Options
granted under this Plan may be of two types: (a) options designed to comply with
Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Incentive Stock
Options"); and (b) other options ("Non- qualified Options"). Except where
otherwise indicated, the provisions of this Plan shall apply to both Incentive
Stock Options and Non-qualified Options.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION

2.1 ADMINISTRATION BY COMMITTEE. This Plan shall be administered by a
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"), as determined by
resolution of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company
shall select the members of the Committee and may, from time to time, appoint
members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to members
previously appointed. Vacancies on the Committee, however caused, shall be
filled

by appointment by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
Section 2.2 below, effective May 21, 1993, the President of the Company shall be
authorized to grant options under the terms of the Plan to key Employees, who
are not officers or directors of the Company for purposes of Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee shall designate
the maximum number of shares of Stock available under the Plan which may be
subject to options granted by the President, which number may be revised from
time to time by the Committee.

2.2 POWERS. The Committee shall have full and final authority to
administer this Plan on behalf of the Company. Subject to the provisions of this
Plan, this authority includes but is not limited to the power to:

(a) determine the persons to whom options shall be granted;

(b) determine the number of shares to be covered by options
granted to each such person;

(d) prescribe the period within which options may be
exercised:

(e) grant options conditionally or unconditionally; and

(f) prescribe the form or forms of the Stock Option Agreements
evidencing the grant of options under this Plan.

2.3 ADDITIONAL POWERS. The Committee may establish, from time to time,
such regulations, provisions and procedures, within the terms of this Plan, as,
in the opinion of the Committee, may be advisable in the administration and
interpretation of this Plan. The Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings. A
majority of the Committee shall constitute a

quorum, and the acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at
which a quorum is present, or the acts approved in writing by a majority of the
Committee, shall be the acts of the Committee.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY

3.1 ELIGIBLE PERSONS. Only Employees shall be eligible to be granted
Incentive Stock Options under this Plan. Employees and other persons shall be
eligible to be granted Non-qualified Options under this Plan. No member of the
Committee may receive an option under this Plan.

3.2 RELEVANT FACTORS. The Committee shall grant options to those
persons who, in the opinion of the Committee, are capable of contributing to the
successful performance of the Company.

3.3 RESTRICTIONS. No Employee owning stock possessing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company,
determined on the date on which the option is granted, shall be eligible for the
grant of an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price for such option is
at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant of the shares
subject to the option, and the option is not exercisable more than five years
after the date of grant.

SECTION 4. GRANTING OF OPTIONS

4.1 SHARES AVAILABLE FOR OPTIONS. The Board of Directors shall reserve
for purposes of this Plan, out of the authorized but unissued Stock or out of
shares of Stock held in the Company's Treasury, or partly out of each, a total
of 1,814,286 shares of Stock, after taking into account the Company's reverse
stock split effected on May 5, 1992 and stock split effected November 30, 1995,
(or the number and kind of shares of Stock or other securities which, in

accordance with Section 8 of this Plan, shall be substituted for such shares or
to which such shares shall be adjusted).

4.2 EFFECT OF EXPIRATION, TERMINATION OR SURRENDER. In the event that
an option granted under the Plan expires or is terminated unexercised as to any
shares covered by such option, such shares shall thereafter be again available
for the granting of options under this Plan. In the event that an option granted
under the Plan is exercised on or after October 21, 1994 by the delivery of
shares of Common Stock previously acquired upon the exercise of Options issued
under the Plan or through the retention of options procedure as described in
Section 5.3 below, the shares of Common Stock so delivered to the Company and
underlying such retained options shall thereafter be again available for the
granting of options under this Plan.

4.3 TERM OF OPTIONS. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, the
Committee shall have full discretion to determine the period during which an
option may be exercised. In no event shall any option granted under this Plan,
by its terms, (i) expire more than ten years from the date on which it was
granted, or (ii) be exercisable by any person subject to Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 any sooner than six months after the date of
grant. No Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable by any Employee who has
not been in the continuous employ of the Company for a period of one year from
the date of grant.

4.4 OPTION PRICE. The Committee shall, in its discretion, establish, at
the time at which any option is granted, the purchase price of each share of
stock covered by such option; provided, however, that the option price of an
option shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares
covered by the option on the date such option is granted. The option price will
be subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of this
Plan. For purposes of this Plan, the fair market value of each share shall be
deemed to be:

(a) the average of the closing sales prices of the Stock on
the principal securities exchange on which the Stock may at the time be listed
(or, if there have been no sales on such exchange on any day, the average of the
closing high bid and low asked prices on such exchange at the end of such day)
for the five (5) consecutive trading days on such exchange immediately preceding
the date of grant of the option; or

(b) if the Stock is not listed on a securities exchange, the
average of the closing sales prices of the Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market (or,
if there have been no sales on The Nasdaq Stock Market on any such day, the
average of the closing high bid and low asked prices on The Nasdaq Stock Market
at the end of such day) for the five (5) consecutive trading days on The Nasdaq
Stock Market immediately preceding the date of grant of the option; or

(c) if the Stock is not listed on any domestic stock exchange
or The Nasdaq Stock Market, the average of the mean between the closing high bid
and low asked price as reported by the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") (or, if not so reported, by the
system then regarded as the most reliable source of such quotations) for the
five (5) consecutive trading days on NASDAQ or other such system immediately
preceding the date of grant of the option; or

(d) if none of the foregoing clauses apply, the fair value as
determined in good faith by the Committee.

4.5 NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Plan
shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or if the
optionee dies intestate, by the laws of the descent and distribution of the
jurisdiction of domicile of the optionee at the time of his or her death, and
such options shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by the
optionee. If the optionee is declared legally incompetent, the optionee's duly
appointed personal

representative may exercise any options which the optionee was eligible to
exercise at the time when the optionee was declared incompetent, to the extent
provided in Section 6 of this Plan.

4.6 LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The aggregate
fair market value of the underlying shares (determined as of the date of grant)
as to which Incentive Stock Options granted on or after February 23, 1993 under
the Plan (including a plan of a subsidiary) may first be exercised by an
optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that
an option intended to constitute an Incentive Stock Option shall violate the
foregoing $100,000 limitation, the portion of the option that exceeds the
$100,000 limitation shall be deemed to constitute a Non-qualified Stock Option.

4.7 WRITTEN CONFIRMATION OF GRANTS. Each option granted under this Plan
shall be confirmed by a Stock Option Agreement which shall be executed by the
Company and by the person to whom the option is granted. Each Stock Option
Agreement shall clearly state whether the option granted thereunder (or any
portion thereof) constitutes an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-qualified Stock
Option.

4.8 RESTRICTION ON GRANT. Effective on and after February 14, 1996, no
optionee who is a salaried employee shall be eligible to receive aggregate
option grants under this Plan, in any fiscal year of the Company, to purchase
more than 200,000 shares of the Stock.

SECTION 5. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

5.1 EXERCISE. Each option granted under this Plan shall be exercisable
on such date or dates and during such period and for such number of shares as
shall be provided in the Stock Option Agreement evidencing such option. In the
event of options exercisable in installments, the right to purchase shares shall
be cumulative so that when the right to purchase any shares has

accrued under any such option, such shares or any part thereof may be purchase
at any time thereafter until the expiration or termination of the option.

5.2 NOTICE OF EXERCISE. An optionee electing to exercise an option
granted under this Plan shall give written notice to the Company. Such notice
shall state the number of full shares (no fractional shares may be purchased) to
which the election applies.

5.3 PURCHASE OF SHARES. The option price of each share purchased
pursuant to the exercise of an option shall be paid in full in cash or in shares
of Common Stock at the time of purchase; or, in the case of non-qualified stock
options or in the case of Incentive Stock Options issued on or after May 21,
1993, the option exercise price may be paid by delivery to the Company of a
properly executed exercise notice, acceptable to the Company, together with
irrevocable instructions to the participant's broker to deliver to the Company
sufficient cash to pay the exercise price and any applicable income and
employment withholding taxes, in accordance with a written agreement between the
Company and the brokerage firm ("cashless exercise" procedure); or, in the case
of non-qualified stock options or in the case of Incentive Stock Options issued
on or after October 21, 1994, the option exercise price may be paid through the
retention by the Company of then exercisable options issued to the Optionee
under the Plan (the "retained options"), with the value of the retained options
equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares underlying
the retained options (determined as of the date of exercise of the options), and
the exercise price of such options ("retention of options" procedure); or, in
the case of Incentive Stock Options, may be paid in three installments as
hereinafter provided; or, a combination of the foregoing. In the event of
payments in installments, 50% of the purchase price shall be paid on the date of
exercise and on such date the exercising Employee shall execute and deliver to
the Company such Employee's promissory

note making such Employee personally liable to pay the balance of the purchase
price in two installments on the first and second anniversaries of the date of
exercise. Such promissory note shall bear interest at a rate determined by the
Committee and shall be secured by a pledge of the Stock being purchased. Until
the optionee has been issued a certificate or certificates for the shares so
purchased, he or she shall possess no rights of a record holder with respect to
any such shares. In the event that an optionee exercises both an Incentive Stock
Option and a Non-qualified Stock Option, separate share certificates shall be
issued for shares acquired pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option and for shares
acquired pursuant to the Non-qualified Stock Option. Options retained by the
Company under the retention of options procedure shall expire and be of no
further force and effect as of the date retained.

5.4 PRIOR INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Each Incentive Stock Option granted
under this Plan, by its terms, shall not be exercisable while there is
outstanding any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to the same individual
by the Company. An Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as outstanding until
such option is exercised in full or expires solely by reason of lapse of time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Stock Option granted on or after
February 23, 1993 shall be subject to the foregoing sequential exercise rule.

5.5 DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF STOCK. The Company shall not be
required to deliver any shares of Stock under this Plan prior to (i) the
admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which such shares
may then be listed and (ii) the completion of such registration or other
qualification of such shares under any federal, state or local law, rule or
regulation as the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

SECTION 6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

6.2 DISABILITY. If the employment of any optionee who is an Employee
shall be terminated because of total and permanent disability of such optionee,
the option shall be exercisable by the optionee at any time on or before the
earlier of the expiration date of the option or one year after the date of such
termination of employment, but only to the extent of the accrued right to
purchase at the date of such termination.

6.3 DEATH. If any optionee shall die while employed by the Company and,
if at the date of death, the optionee shall be entitled to exercise an option,
such option may be exercised by any person who acquires the option by bequest or
inheritance or by reason of the death of the optionee, or by the executor or
administrator of the estate of the optionee, at any time before the earlier of
the expiration date of the option or one year after the date of death of the
optionee, but only to the extent of the accrued right to purchase at the date of
death.

SECTION 7. EMPLOYMENT, RIGHTS, AS A SHAREHOLDER AND BENEFIT PLANS

Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall give any
Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any rights as
a shareholder of the Company prior to the issuance or transfer of shares of
Stock to his or her name. Awards under this Plan are discretionary and are not a
part of regular salary. Awards may not be used in determining the amount of
compensation for any purpose under the benefit plans of the Company. For
purposes of this Plan, "Employee" means full time or part time employees of the
Company and its

subsidiaries, who are executives, managerial or other salaried employees,
including officers, whether or not directors of the Company.

SECTION 8. CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In the event of changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of Stock
dividends, Stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers,
consolidations, combinations, exchanges or other relevant changes in the capital
structure of the Company, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the
Committee in the number of shares and kind of stock for which options may be or
may have been granted under the Plan, to the end that the proportionate
interests shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION

9.1 SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION. The Committee may suspend this Plan or
any part thereof at any time or may terminate the Plan in its entirety. Awards
shall not be granted after Plan termination. Options granted prior to the
suspension or termination of this Plan may not be cancelled solely because of
such suspension or termination, except with the consent of the optionee.

9.2 AMENDMENT. The Board of Directors shall have the right to suspend,
terminate or amend this Plan at any time, provided that the approval of the
shareholders shall be required for any amendment which:

(a) increases the total number of shares which may be issued
and sold pursuant to options granted under this Plan;

(b) decreases the minimum option price;

(d) increases the maximum term of options granted under this
Plan;

(e) reduces the period of time after the date of grant during
which an employee must remain in the employ of the Company in order to exercise
an option;

(f) increases the term of this Plan;

(g) withdraws the administration of this Plan from a Committee
of directors; or

(h) otherwise materially increases the benefits accruing to
participants under the Plan.

SECTION 10. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION

This Plan shall become effective beginning April 21, 1992, subject to
the approval of the shareholders of the Company as required by Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 422A of the Code.
