                       PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING
                                 OF SHAREHOLDERS
                         TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 24, 2001

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

         This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the holders of the common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Catalina Lighting,
Inc., a Florida corporation, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") of proxies to
be voted at a special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") scheduled
to be held on Wednesday, October 24, 2001, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the
Company's corporate offices at 18191 N.W. 68th Avenue, Miami, Florida, or at any
adjournment or postponement thereof. This Proxy Statement is being mailed to
shareholders on or about October __, 2001. As used in this Proxy Statement, the
terms "Catalina" and "the Company" refer to Catalina Lighting, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

                               PURPOSE OF MEETING

         The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Special
Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of
Shareholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.

                         VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION

VOTING

         Only holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business
on September 21, 2001 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the
Record Date, there were 15,878,247 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

         The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding is required to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Special Meeting. The holders of Common Stock have
one vote for each share held by them as of the Record Date. Adoption and
approval of each of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Stock
Incentive Plan, the Management Settlement Stock Incentive Plan and the Amended
and Restated By-laws, require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast by holders of shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting.

PROXIES

         All shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that are properly
signed, completed and returned to the Secretary of the Company at or prior to
the Special Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy. If a proxy is
signed and returned but does not provide instructions as to the shareholder's
vote, the shares will be voted FOR each of the matters submitted by the Board of
Directors for vote by the shareholders. We are not aware of any business for
consideration at the Special Meeting other than as described in this Proxy
Statement; however, if matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting
or any adjournment or postponement thereof, then the persons appointed as
proxies will have the discretion to vote or act thereon according to their best
judgment. A shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it any time prior
to its exercise by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written
revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (although no revocation
shall be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the
Company), or by attendance at the meeting and voting his or her shares in
person.



                                       1
   6

         Under Florida law, proxies marked ABSTAIN are not considered to be cast
votes and thus, although they will count for purposes of determining whether
there is a quorum and for purposes of determining the voting power and number of
shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, such abstentions will have no
effect on the approval of any matter to come before the meeting. Broker
non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum
at the Special Meeting, but will have no effect on the approval of any matter to
come before the meeting.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

         All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to solicitations by mail, the Company's directors, officers and regular
employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone,
telegraph and personal interviews. Copies of solicitation material will be
furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in
their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward such
solicitation material to such beneficial owners, and the Company will reimburse
them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the distribution
of proxy solicitation material.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

         On July 23, 2001, the Company and Sun Catalina Holdings, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company ("Sun Catalina"), entered into a transaction
whereby Sun Catalina obtained a controlling interest in the Company in exchange
for providing financing for the Company's operations. The Company and Sun
Catalina executed an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and an Amended
and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Purchase Agreements")
whereby Sun Catalina purchased 8,489,932 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
for $3,000,000 and, for an additional $4,500,000, received a secured promissory
note in the original principal amount of $4,500,000 and a warrant to purchase up
to 3,904,838 shares of Common Stock, which warrant is immediately exercisable.
The secured promissory note issued in connection with the transaction accrues
interest at the rate of 12% per annum and matures on July 23, 2006. However,
pursuant to the terms of the secured promissory note issued to Sun Catalina, if
the Company fails to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that it is
authorized to issue by December 31, 2001, (i) the interest rate on the secured
promissory note will increase by 3% per annum, and (ii) the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the warrant issued to Sun Catalina will increase by
262,500 shares of Common Stock. In addition, on each date that interest
compounds on the secured promissory note and is not paid in cash, the number of
shares for which the warrant may be exercised will automatically increase in
proportion to the increase in the principal amount of the secured promissory
note after giving effect to the compounded interest. The secured promissory note
may not be prepaid prior to July 23, 2003. A 5% prepayment penalty will be
assessed if the Company elects to prepay the secured promissory note after July
23, 2003.

         In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Purchase Agreements, certain shareholders, warrant holders and option
holders of the Company entered into shareholders' and voting agreements with Sun
Catalina, pursuant to which Sun Catalina was granted proxies to vote any shares
of Common Stock held by such security holders. As a result of these
transactions, Sun Catalina beneficially owns, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), 70.0%
of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Assuming exercise of all options and
warrants issued to third parties in connection with transactions consummated
simultaneously with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreements, the shares of Common Stock owned by Sun Catalina (including
the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant held by Sun Catalina, but
excluding shares beneficially owned by Sun Catalina by virtue of its right to
vote such shares pursuant to proxies granted by third parties) would constitute
52.5% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

         As a result of these transactions, the Board of Directors was expanded
to nine members, and six individuals designated by Sun Catalina became members
of the Board of Directors. On July 31, 2001, Eric Bescoby (formerly the
president and a director of an affiliate of Sun Catalina) was named chief
executive officer of the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors was
expanded to ten members and Mr. Bescoby became a member of the Board of
Directors. Subsequently, on August 8, 2001, Robert Hersh resigned from the Board
of Directors, leaving the Board of Directors with nine members. Subsequently, on
September 7, 2001, the Board of Directors was expanded to eleven members and
Patrick Sullivan and George Rea were appointed to fill the existing vacancies.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 1

               APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

GENERAL

         On October 3, 2001 the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the
following resolution, subject to shareholder approval, amending the Company's
Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common
Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares:

                  RESOLVED, that this Board of Directors has determined that it
         is in the best interests of the Company to increase the number of
         shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue, in
         order to implement the Purchase Agreements, to give the Company
         additional flexibility for other proper corporate purposes that may be
         identified in the future, including, without limitation, to raise
         equity capital, to adopt additional employee benefit plans or reserve
         additional shares for issuance under such plans, and to make
         acquisitions through the use of Common Stock, this Board of Directors
         hereby proposes that Paragraph 1 of Article III of the Company's
         Articles of Incorporation be amended to increase the total number of
         shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue, subject
         to approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of
         the Company entitled to vote thereon, so that it shall read in its
         entirety:

                  1. THE AGGREGATE NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH THE CORPORATION SHALL
                  HAVE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE IS ONE HUNDRED MILLION (100,000,000)
                  SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVING A PAR VALUE OF ONE CENT ($.01)
                  PER SHARE AND ONE MILLION (1,000,000) SHARES OF PREFERRED
                  STOCK HAVING A PAR VALUE OF ONE CENT ($.01) PER SHARE.

         If the proposed amendment is adopted by the shareholders, the Company
plans to file a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation,
amending Paragraph 1 of Article III as described above, as soon as practicable
following the Special Meeting, to be effective upon such filing. A copy of the
Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit
A to this Proxy Statement.

         As of August 10, 2001, there were 15,878,247 shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including the shares purchased in connection with the transaction
with Sun Catalina) and 8,532,607 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under options, warrants, contractual commitments and other arrangements
(including the options and warrants granted in connection with the transaction
with Sun Catalina). There are currently no authorized and unissued shares of
Common Stock available for future issuance that are not otherwise reserved for a
specific use. Assuming the approval by the shareholders of this proposal, there
will be 75,589,146 authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock that are not
reserved for any specific use and are available for future issuance.

         As a result of the transaction with Sun Catalina and another
subordinated lender and the amendment of the Company's $75 million credit
facility, the Company is obligated to issue warrants to purchase shares in
excess of the number of remaining authorized shares. The Company must therefore
increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance. Under
certain contractual provisions, by December 31, 2001, the Company is obligated
to authorize the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the warrants issued to Sun Catalina, the Company's senior lender (for the $75
million credit facility), and the Company's senior subordinated lender and to
reserve for issuance a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock to permit exercise of those warrants. If the Company fails to
authorize the issuance and reservation of such additional shares, then (i) the
interest rate for the Company's $75 million credit facility will be increased by
0.75% per annum, (ii) the interest rate for the promissory notes issued to Sun
Catalina and the other subordinated lender will be increased by 3% per annum
retroactively from July 23, 2001, (iii) the number of shares that Sun Catalina
is entitled to purchase upon exercise of its warrant will increase by 262,500
shares of Common Stock, and (iv) the number of shares that the Company's other
subordinated lender is entitled to purchase upon exercise of its warrant will
increase by 500,000 shares of Common Stock. Although the warrants are
immediately exercisable (including





                                       3
   8

the increase in the number of shares described above), the Company can only
issue duly authorized but unissued shares upon exercise of the warrants. Thus,
if the shareholders do not approve the proposed increase in the number of
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, then the holders of the warrants
will for all practical purposes be unable to exercise the warrants in full until
such later time as the shareholders have approved an increase in the number of
shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue.

         The additional shares of Common Stock authorized upon adoption of the
proposed amendment will be available for issuance from time to time as
determined by the Board of Directors, without further action by the shareholders
and without first offering the shares to the shareholders. Except with respect
to the shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants,
including warrants and options issued in connection with the transactions
consummated simultaneously with the transaction between the Company and Sun
Catalina, the Company has not entered into any agreements to issue any
additional shares of Common Stock. However, from time to time, the Company
considers various fund raising and other transactions that would involve the
issuance of additional shares of Common Stock including, without limitation,
possible future equity financings, rights offerings, stock dividends, stock
splits, or employee benefit programs, or upon exercise of stock options or
warrants.

         Although the shareholders are being asked to approve the increase in
the number of authorized shares described above so that, among other things, the
contractual obligations of the Company undertaken in the transactions described
above can be fulfilled without the consequences of non-approval that are also
described above, the shareholders are not being asked to approve those
transactions or the terms of the issuance of securities pursuant to those
transactions, and a vote against approval of the proposed increase will not have
the effect of preventing or reversing those transactions.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS

         The proposal to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the
Company is authorized to issue could have a potential anti-takeover effect with
respect to the Company, although the Company's management is not presenting the
proposal for that reason and does not presently anticipate using the increased
authorized shares for such a purpose. The potential anti-takeover effect of the
proposed amendment arises because the Company could issue additional shares of
Common Stock, up to the total authorized number, thereby diluting the
shareholdings and related voting rights of then existing shareholders in
proportion to the number of any additional shares issued.

         The proposal to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the
Company is authorized to issue is not in response to any accumulation of stock
or threatened takeover. Rather, the proposal is intended to allow the Company to
meet its contractual obligations and for other corporate purposes, all of which
are described more fully above. The Company currently has no plans to implement
any measures that would have material anti-takeover effects. Neither the
Company's current by-laws nor its Articles of Incorporation contain any material
anti-takeover provisions. In connection with the transaction with Sun Catalina
and another subordinated lender and the amendment of the Company's $75 million
credit facility, the Company issued various secured promissory notes to secure
indebtedness. Upon a subsequent change of control, the holders of the secured
promissory notes would be entitled to declare all amounts payable thereunder
immediately due and, the interest rates provided for in the secured promissory
notes would increase, in the case of the secured promissory notes issued to the
subordinated lenders by 3% per annum, and in the case of the Company's $75
million credit facility by 2% per annum. Also, in connection with the

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2

                      APPROVAL OF THE STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

GENERAL

         On September 7, 2001 the Board of Directors unanimously approved the
adoption of the Catalina Lighting, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive
Plan"), and directed that the Incentive Plan be submitted to the shareholders
for approval. Following is a summary of the principal features of the Incentive
Plan:

DESCRIPTION OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN

         Purposes. The primary purposes of the Incentive Plan are to promote the
long-term success of the Company and its shareholders by strengthening the
Company's ability to attract and retain employees, officers, directors,
consultants and advisors of outstanding ability and to provide a means to
encourage stock ownership and proprietary interest in the Company. Grants of
awards under the Incentive Plan are consistent with the Company's goal of
providing total employee compensation that is competitive in the marketplace,
recognizing meaningful differences in individual performance, fostering
teamwork, and offering the opportunity to earn above-average rewards when
merited by individual and Company performance.

         Eligibility. Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors
of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be eligible to participate in the
Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the
Incentive Plan will be 2,250,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in
the Incentive Plan. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be
covered by stock option awards granted to any single individual under the
Incentive Plan may not exceed 1,000,000 shares per calendar year, subject to
adjustment as provided in the Incentive Plan.

         Types of Awards. Under the Incentive Plan, participants may receive
Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") or Nonqualified Stock Options ("NSO"). A stock
option represents a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common
Stock during a specified period as determined by the Board of Directors. An ISO
is an option that qualifies as an ISO under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and a NSO is an option that does not so
qualify as an ISO under the Code. The term of any ISO shall not exceed ten years
from the date of grant. The purchase price per share for each stock option shall
be determined by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such price
shall not, in the case of an ISO, be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, subject to certain exceptions.
"Fair Market Value" for all options granted under the Incentive Plan is defined
generally as the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant
as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board. The shares covered by a stock option may
be purchased by cash, or, if permitted by the Board of Directors, by (i) the
delivery of a promissory note to the Board of Directors containing such terms as
the Board of Directors may determine, (ii) tendering shares of Common Stock,
(iii) third-party cashless exercise transactions or (iv) any combination of
these methods.

         Administration. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors,
or if no such committee exists, the Board of Directors, has full and exclusive
power to administer and interpret the Incentive Plan and its provisions. This
power includes, but is not limited to, selecting option recipients, establishing
all option terms and conditions, adopting procedures and regulations governing
option grants and making all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Incentive Plan. All decisions made by the Compensation
Committee, or if no such committee exists, the Board of Directors, are final and
binding on all persons affected by such decisions.

         Changes in Capitalization. If, through or as a result of any
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split,
reverse stock split, or other similar transaction, the outstanding shares of
Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or
new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash
assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other
securities, adjustments shall be made with respect to (i) the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Incentive Plan, (ii) each





                                       5
   10

outstanding award made under the Incentive Plan, and (iii) the exercise price
per share for any outstanding stock options.

         Change of Control. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directions, in the event of a "change of control" (as defined below) that the
Board of Directors determines is primarily for cash consideration, all
outstanding options will immediately accelerate and become exercisable upon the
effective date of the change of control. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board of Directors, in the event of a change of control that the Board of
Directors determines is not primarily for cash consideration, the acquiring
corporation shall assume all outstanding options that are not exercisable as of
the effective date of the change of control or replace such outstanding options
with a comparable option or equity equivalent instrument. If the acquiring
corporation fails to assume or replace all outstanding options that are not
exercisable as of the effective date of the change of control, unless otherwise
determined by the Board, the outstanding options shall automatically accelerate
and become exercisable upon the effective date of the change of control. In lieu
of such acceleration, the Board of Directors will have the discretion to require
all holders of options that are exercisable upon the change of control
(including those options that will become exercisable as a consequence of
acceleration triggered by the change of control) to surrender them in exchange
for payment by the Company in cash or in Common Stock, at the discretion of the
Board of Directors, of an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the
per-share value of the Common Stock subject to unexercised options (determined
by the Board of Directors in good faith, based on the applicable price in the
transaction giving rise to the change of control, and such other considerations
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate) exceeds the exercise price of those
options.

         For purposes of the foregoing, "change of control" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) the acquisition, other than solely from the Company, by any
     individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
     Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or an
     employee benefit plan of the Company, of beneficial ownership (within the
     meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50%
     of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
     the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the
     "Voting Securities");

         (b) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of the
     Company (a "Business Combination"), other than a Business Combination in
     which more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
     securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the
     Business Combination is held by the persons who, immediately prior to the
     Business Combination, were the holders of the Voting Securities; or

         (c) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a sale of
     all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

         Tax Withholding. Whenever shares are to be issued or cash is to be paid
under the Incentive Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the
participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state, and local tax withholding requirements. Such withholding requirements may
be paid (i) in cash; (ii) in the discretion of the Board of Directors, through
the delivery to the Company of previously-owned shares of Common Stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the tax obligation, provided that the
previously owned shares delivered in satisfaction of the withholding obligations
must have been held by the participant for at least six (6) months; or (iii) in
the discretion of the Board of Directors, any combination of these methods.

         Federal Income Tax Consequences. In general, under the Code as
presently in effect, a participant will not be deemed to receive any income for
federal income tax purposes at the time an option is granted, nor will the
Company be entitled to a tax deduction at that time. When any part of an option
is exercised, the federal income tax consequences may be summarized as follows:

         (a) In the case of an exercise of a NSO, the participant will recognize
     ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the option
     price and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the exercise date.



                                       6
   11

         (b) In the case of an ISO, there is no tax liability at the time of
     exercise. However, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
     on the exercise date over the option price is included in the participant's
     income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If no disposition of
     the ISO stock is made before the later of one year from the date of
     exercise or two years from the date the ISO is granted, the participant
     will realize a long-term capital gain or loss upon sale of the stock; if
     the stock is not held for the required period, ordinary income tax
     treatment will generally apply to the amount of any gain upon sale or
     exercise, whichever is less, and the balance of any gain or loss will be
     treated as capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on
     whether the shares have been held for more than one year).

         (c) Upon the exercise of a NSO, the Company generally will be allowed
     an income tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the
     employee. The Company does not receive an income tax deduction as a result
     of the exercise of an ISO, provided that the ISO stock is held for the
     required period as described above. If the ISO stock is not held for such
     required period and ordinary income tax treatment is applied to the amount
     of any gain at sale or exercise by the recipient, the Company generally
     will receive an income tax deduction for a corresponding amount.

         The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income
taxation upon award recipients and the Company with respect to the grant and
exercise of awards under the Incentive Plan. It does not purport to be complete,
and does not discuss the tax consequences of the employee's death or the
provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country
in which the employee may reside.

         Interested Directors. Because members of the Board of Directors are
eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan (some are also eligible to
receive awards in their capacities as executive officers of the Company), each
of them has a personal interest in the approval of the Incentive Plan.

         Previous Stock Incentive Plans. Upon approval by the shareholders of
the Incentive Plan and the Settlement Plan described below, there will by no
further issuances by the Company of shares of Common Stock or options to
purchase shares of Common Stock under any other stock incentive plan currently
in effect.

         A copy of the proposed form of the Incentive Plan is attached hereto as
Exhibit B.

         See the New Plan Benefits Table elsewhere in the Proxy Statement
disclosing the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to
certain individuals.

VOTES REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of
shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is
required for the approval of the Incentive Plan at the Special Meeting. If such
shareholder approval is not obtained, the Incentive Plan will not go into
effect. If such shareholder approval is obtained, the Incentive Plan will go
into effect retroactively to the date that it was approved by the Board of
Directors.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN.

GENERAL

         On September 7, 2001 the Board of Directors unanimously approved the
adoption of the Catalina Lighting, Inc. Management Settlement Stock Incentive
Plan (the "Settlement Plan") and directed that the Settlement Plan be submitted
to the shareholders for approval. Following is a summary of the principal
features of the Settlement Plan:

DESCRIPTION OF THE SETTLEMENT PLAN

         The Settlement Plan is identical to the Incentive Plan as described
above in all material respects, except for the following differences:

         Purposes. The primary purposes of the Settlement Plan are to settle the
Company's obligations to certain of the Company's former and current employees
under employment agreements previously entered into between the Company and such
employees and to obtain the agreement of certain former and current employees
not to compete or otherwise engage in practices that may be harmful to the
Company and its subsidiaries.

         Eligibility. Certain former and current employees, as determined by the
Board of Directors, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The number of
shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Settlement Plan will
be 1,569,229 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the Settlement Plan.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be covered by stock
option awards granted to any single individual under the Settlement Plan may not
exceed 750,000 shares per calendar year, subject to adjustment as provided in
the Settlement Plan.

         Types of Awards. Under the Settlement Plan, participants may receive
only NSO grants.

         A copy of the proposed form of the Settlement Plan is attached hereto
as Exhibit C.

         See the New Plan Benefits Table elsewhere in the Proxy Statement

         The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of
shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is

Directors.

                          OF THE BY-LAWS OF THE COMPANY

GENERAL

         On September 7, 2001 the Board of Directors unanimously approved the
Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company (the "Amended By-laws"), and
directed that the same be submitted to the shareholders for approval at the
Special Meeting. Following is a summary description of the purposes of the
Amended By-laws.

PURPOSES OF THE AMENDED BY-LAWS

         The current by-laws of the Company are being amended and restated in
the form of the Amended By-laws attached hereto as Exhibit D to increase the
quorum requirements for a meeting of the shareholders of the Company.

the shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders, present in
person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
any business at such meeting. The Amended By-laws, in accordance with the
provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act, increase the quorum
requirement to the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote
at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, except to the extent
otherwise required by applicable law.

         The discussion in this Proxy Statement of the Amended By-laws is
qualified in its entirety by the proposed form of the Amended By-laws attached
hereto as Exhibit D, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

         The Amended By-laws also reflect amendments previously approved by the
Board of Directors under authority granted to them by the Company's by-laws and
Florida law but that are not required to be submitted to the shareholders for
their approval.

VOTES REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of
shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is
required for approval of the Amended By-laws at the Special Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS
VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED BY-LAWS.

      option.

                 EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                       AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

PRIOR EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company entered into employment agreements (the "Prior Employment
Agreements") with Robert Hersh, Dean Rappaport and Nathan Katz. Commencing
October 1, 1993, the base annual salaries of Messrs. Hersh, Rappaport, and Katz
were $246,112, $221,500 and $221,500, respectively, with annual increases of the
greater of 5% or the percentage increases in the consumer price index published
by the U.S. Department of Labor. Each of the Prior Employment Agreements would
have expired on September 30, 2001. The Prior Employment Agreements each
provided that, unless the employee was terminated for cause, 180 days after an
Acquisition of Control (as defined in the Prior Employment Agreements), the
Company was required to (i) pay to the employee a lump sum payment equal to
three times the sum of the employee's salary for the then current fiscal year
and the bonus payable to the employee for the fiscal year immediately preceding
the current fiscal year, and (ii) continue to provide benefits to the employee
for a three-year period. In addition, if the employee's employment with the
Company were terminated for any reason other than for cause within one year
following an Acquisition of Control, then the employee would have had the
option, for thirty days after the date of such termination of employment, to
enter into a three-year consulting and non-competition agreement for $250,000
per year.

         Effective October 1, 2000, the Company entered into an employment
agreement (the "2000 Sasnett Employment Agreement") with David W. Sasnett that
replaced his change in control agreement with the Company. The 2000 Sasnett
Employment Agreement would have expired on September 30, 2001 and provided for
an annual salary of $210,000 and a severance payment equal to (i) the pro rata
portion of Mr. Sasnett's annual salary for the remainder of the agreement term
plus an amount equal to Mr. Sasnett's annual salary and benefits if he was
terminated without "cause", as defined in the agreement or (ii) Mr. Sasnett's
annual salary and annual benefits if the agreement was not renewed upon its
expiration. This employment agreement also provided for a lump sum payment equal
to two times the sum of his annual salary and annual benefits upon an
Acquisition of Control (as defined in the 2000 Sasnett Employment Agreement). If
Mr. Sasnett's employment with the Company would have been terminated for any
reason other than for cause within one year following an Acquisition of Control,
then he would have had the option, exercisable for thirty days after the date of
such termination of employment, to enter into a two-year consulting and
non-competition agreement for $50,000 per year.

                             CATALINA LIGHTING, INC.
                              STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

         The purpose of the Catalina Lighting, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") is to promote the interests of Catalina Lighting, Inc. (the "Company"),
its subsidiaries and its shareholders by (i) attracting and retaining employees,
officers, directors, consultants and advisors of outstanding ability, (ii)
motivating such persons, by means of performance-related incentives, to achieve
long-range performance goals, and (iii) enabling such persons to participate in
the long-term growth and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries.
For purposes of this Plan, "subsidiary" shall mean any company (whether a
corporation, partnership, joint venture or other form of entity) in which the
Company, or a corporation in which the Company owns a majority of the shares of
capital stock, directly or indirectly, owns an equity interest of more than
fifty percent (50%), except that solely with respect to determining whether
options issued to employees of a subsidiary may be Incentive Stock Options (as
defined in Section 3) the term "subsidiary" shall have the same meaning as the
term "subsidiary corporation" as defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

2.       ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) Subject to the following paragraphs, the Plan shall be administered
by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or by a Compensation Committee
of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). If the Board delegates to the
Compensation Committee the authority to administer the Plan, the Compensation
Committee shall be empowered to take all actions reserved to the Board under the
Plan. The Board is authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and
rescind rules and regulations to further the purposes of the Plan, and to make
all other determinations necessary for the administration of the Plan. All such
actions by the Board shall be conclusive, final and binding on all recipients of
grants hereunder ("participants").

         (b) For so long as the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") is
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), any Compensation Committee to which Plan administration is
delegated shall consist solely of Board members who qualify as (i) "Non-Employee
Directors" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and (ii) "outside
directors" as defined under Section 162(m) or any successor provision of the
Code and applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, if and to the extent such
qualification is necessary so that grants made under the Plan or the exercise of
rights thereunder will qualify for any tax or other material benefit to
participants or the Company and its subsidiaries under applicable law.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, subject to any
limitations or restrictions the Board may impose from time to time, delegate to
the Chief Executive Officer the authority to administer the Plan, including the
authority to grant Options (as defined in Section 3) to employees (other than
the Chief Executive Officer), consultants or advisors of the Company and its
subsidiaries who are not subject, by reason of their position with the Company
or its subsidiaries, to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and
who are not expected to be subject to the limitations of Code Section 162(m).

3.       GRANTS.

         Grants under the Plan may be in the form of options which qualify as
"incentive stock options" within the meaning of Code Section 422 or any
successor provision ("Incentive Stock Options") and options which do not so
qualify ("Nonqualified Options" and, collectively with Incentive Stock Options,
"Options"). Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the
Company or its subsidiaries. Each grant of an Option shall be designated in the
applicable "Grant Instrument" (as defined in Section 5) as an Incentive Stock
Option or a Nonqualified Option, as appropriate. If, notwithstanding its
designation as an Incentive Stock Option, all or a portion of any Option grant
does not qualify under the Code as an Incentive Stock Option, the portion which
does not so qualify shall be treated for all purposes hereunder as a
Nonqualified Option.



   26

4.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to grants made under the
Plan is 2,250,000. The Common Stock to be offered under the Plan shall be
authorized and unissued Common Stock or issued Common Stock that shall have been
reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury. The Common Stock covered by
any unexercised portion of terminated stock options granted under the Plan may
again be subject to new grants under the Plan. In the event the purchase price
of an Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of Common Stock,
only the net number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the
exercise of the Option shall be counted against the number of shares remaining
available for grant under the Plan. No participant shall receive grants in
respect of more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in any calendar year
(subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8).

5.       PARTICIPANTS.

         The Board shall determine and designate from time to time those
employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company or its
subsidiaries who shall be granted Options under the Plan and the number of
shares of Common Stock to be covered by each such Option grant; provided, that
any such consultants or advisors who receive grants under the Plan render bona
fide services to the Company or its subsidiaries that are not in connection with
the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. In making its
determinations, the Board shall take into account the present and potential
contributions of the respective individuals to the success of the Company and
its subsidiaries and such other factors as the Board shall deem relevant in
connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. Each grant shall be
evidenced by a written Option agreement or grant form ("Grant Instrument") as
the Board shall approve from time to time.

6.       FAIR MARKET VALUE.

         For all purposes under the Plan, the term "Fair Market Value" shall
mean, as of any applicable date: (i) if the principal securities market on which
the Common Stock is traded is a national securities exchange or The Nasdaq
National Market ("NNM"), the closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange
or NNM, as the case may be, or if no sale of the Common Stock shall have
occurred on such date, on the next preceding date on which there was a reported
sale; (ii) if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange
or NNM, the closing price on such date as reported by The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or if no sale of the Common Stock shall have occurred on such date, on
the next preceding date on which there was a reported sale; (iii) if the
principal securities market on which the Common Stock is traded is not a
national securities exchange, NNM or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average of
the bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.; (iv)
if not reported by the National Quotation Board, the closing price of a share of
Common Stock on the date of grant as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board; or (v)
if the price of the Common Stock is not so reported, the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.

7.       GRANTS OF OPTIONS.

         (a) Exercise Price of Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted
at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options granted to a
participant who at the time of such grant owns (within the meaning of Code
Section 424(d)) more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company (a "10% Holder") shall be granted at an exercise price of not less than
110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Nonqualified Options shall
be granted at an exercise price as determined in each case by the Board.

         (b)      Term and Termination of Options.

                  (1) The Board shall determine the term within which each
Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, provided that (i) such term shall
not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, (ii) the term of an Incentive Stock
Option granted to a 10% Holder shall not exceed 5 years from the date of grant,
and (iii) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date of grant) of
Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to a
participant under the Plan or any other plan of the Company and its subsidiaries
become exercisable for the first time in any single calendar year shall not
exceed $100,000.

                  (2) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all rights to
exercise Options shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the scheduled
expiration date as set forth in the applicable Grant Instrument, (ii) 60 days
following the date of termination of employment for any reason other than the
participant's death or permanent disability (as defined in Code Section
22(e)(3)), (iii) 1 year following the date of termination of employment or
provision of services by reason of the participant's death or permanent
disability (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)), or (iv) as may be otherwise
provided in the event of a Change of Control as defined in Section 9; provided,
however, that in the event that a participant ceases to be employed by or to
provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries due to a termination for
"cause" (as defined in Section 7(b)(3)), all rights to exercise Options held by
such participant shall terminate immediately as of the date such participant
ceases to be employed by or to provide services to the Company or its
subsidiaries. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, vesting of Options
ceases immediately upon termination of employment or provision of services for
any reason, and any portion of an Option that has not vested on or before the
date of such termination is forfeited on such date.

                  (3) As used in this Plan, the term "cause" shall mean (i)
"cause" as defined in any applicable employment or services agreement between
the Company and a participant for purposes of determining whether a termination
of such agreement is for cause or (ii) in the absence of such agreement, a
determination by the Board that the participant has engaged in conduct injurious
to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation,
embezzlement, theft, destruction of property, unethical business conduct,
commission of a felony or any other crime of moral turpitude, dishonesty in the
course of his or her employment or service, the disclosure of trade secrets or
confidential information of the Company or its subsidiaries to persons not
entitled to receive such information, violation of any rule or policy of the
Company that is not cured within 15 days after the participant is given notice
of such violation, breach of any noncompetition or nonsolicitation covenant or
any other agreement between the participant and the Company or a subsidiary, or
any other conduct that is injurious to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         (c) Payment for Shares. Full payment for shares purchased upon exercise
of Options granted under the Plan shall be made at the time the Options are
exercised in whole or in part. Payment of the purchase price shall be made in
cash or in such other form as the Board may approve, including, without
limitation, (i) by the participant's delivery to the Company of a promissory
note containing such terms as the Board may determine, (ii) by the participant's
delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock that have been held by the
participant for at least six months prior to exercise of the Options, valued at
the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise, or (iii) if the
Common Stock is publicly traded, pursuant to a cashless exercise arrangement
with a broker on such terms as the Board may determine; provided, however, that
if payment is made pursuant to clause (i), the then par value of the purchased
shares shall be paid in cash if required by applicable law or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Board. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the
participant until such payment has been made, and a participant shall have none
of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Options held by such participant.

         (d) Other Terms and Conditions. The Board shall have the discretion to
determine terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, that will be
applicable to Options, including, without limitation, performance-based criteria
for acceleration of the date on which certain Options shall become exercisable.
Options granted to the same or different participants, or at the same or
different times, need not contain similar provisions.

         (e) Substitution of Options. Options may be granted under the Plan from
time to time in substitution for stock options of other entities ("Acquired
Companies") in connection with the merger or consolidation of an Acquired
Company with the Company or its subsidiaries, the acquisition by the Company or
by its subsidiaries of all




   28

or a portion of the assets of an Acquired Company, or the acquisition of stock
of an Acquired Company such that the Acquired Company becomes a subsidiary of
the Company.

8.       ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT CAPITAL CHANGES.

         The number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Option grants, the
exercise price applicable to Options previously granted, and the number and kind
of shares available subsequently to be granted under the Plan shall be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination
or exchange of shares or other change in capitalization with a similar
substantive effect upon the shares of capital stock subject to the Plan or to
Options granted under the Plan. The Board shall have the sole power and
discretion to determine the nature and amount of the adjustment to be made in
each case. The adjustment so made shall be final and binding on all
participants.

9.       DEFINITION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         For purposes of this Plan, a "Change of Control" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) the acquisition, other than solely from the Company, by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Securities"); or

         (b) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of the
Company (a "Business Combination"), other than a Business Combination in which
more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities
of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the Business
Combination is held by the persons who, immediately prior to the Business
Combination, were the holders of the Voting Securities; or

         (c) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

10.      CONSEQUENCES OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, immediately prior to a
Change of Control that is, in the Board's determination, primarily for cash, all
outstanding Options which have been granted under the Plan and which are not
exercisable as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall
automatically accelerate and become exercisable upon the effective date of the
Change of Control; provided, that any exercise of such accelerated Options shall
be contingent upon the actual consummation of the Change of Control.

         (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon a Change of Control
that the Board determines is not primarily for cash as described in subsection
(a) above, each outstanding Option shall be assumed by the Acquiring Corporation
(as defined below) or parent thereof or replaced with a comparable option or
right to purchase shares of the capital stock, or equity equivalent instrument,
of the Acquiring Corporation or parent thereof, or other comparable rights (such
assumed and comparable options and rights, together, the "Replacement Options");
provided, however, that if the Acquiring Corporation or parent thereof does not
intend to grant Replacement Options, then unless otherwise determined by the
Board all outstanding Options which have been granted under the Plan and which
are not exercisable as of the effective date of the Change of Control shall
automatically accelerate and become exercisable immediately prior to the
effective date of the Change of Control; provided, that any exercise of such
accelerated Options shall be contingent upon the actual consummation of the
Change of Control. The term "Acquiring Corporation" means the surviving,
continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall have
discretion, in the applicable Grant Instrument or an amendment thereof, to
provide for the acceleration of Options upon a Change of Control. The Board may
determine in its discretion (but shall not be obligated to do so) that in lieu
of the issuance of Replacement Options, all holders of outstanding Options which
are exercisable immediately prior to a Change of Control




   29

(including those that become exercisable under Section 10(a) or this Section
10(b)) will be required to surrender them in exchange for a payment, in cash or
Common Stock as determined by the Board, of an amount equal to the amount (if
any) by which the then Fair Market Value of Common Stock subject to unexercised
Options exceeds the exercise price of those Options, with such payment to take
place as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as the Board
may prescribe.

         (c) Any Options that are not assumed or replaced by Replacement
Options, exercised or cashed out prior to or concurrent with a Change of Control
will terminate effective upon the Change of Control or at such other time as the
Board deems appropriate, unless otherwise expressly provided in any applicable
Grant Instrument.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event
of a Change of Control, no action described in the Plan shall be taken
(including, without limitation, actions described in subsections (a), (b) and
(c) above) if such actions would make the Change of Control ineligible for
desired accounting or tax treatment and if, in the absence of such actions, the
Change of Control would qualify for such treatment and the Company intends to
use such treatment with respect to such Change of Control.

11.      TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

         Unless otherwise determined by the Board with respect to Nonqualified
Options, Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and are exercisable during a
participant's lifetime only by the participant.

12.      RIGHT TO REPURCHASE AND RIGHT TO RECOVER

         (a) In the case of any participant whose employment or service
terminates for any reason (including, without limitation, death, disability,
retirement, voluntary resignation or termination, or involuntary termination
with or without cause), except as otherwise provided in any Grant Instrument,
the Company shall have a right, exercisable at any time and from time to time
after such termination, to repurchase from the participant (or any successor in
interest by purchase, gift or other mode of transfer) any shares of Common Stock
issued to such terminated participant under the Plan and still held by the
participant upon the participant's termination of employment or service. Such
repurchase shall be made at the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
at the time of repurchase unless the participant's employment or service was
terminated for cause (as that term is defined in Section 7(b)(3)) or, in the
Board's determination, the participant has taken any action prior to or
following his termination of employment or service which would have constituted
grounds for a termination for cause, in either of which case such repurchase
shall be made at the lower of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common
Stock at the time of repurchase or the purchase price paid by the participant
for such shares of Common Stock. With respect to shares of Common Stock
previously issued to a terminated participant under the Plan and no longer held
by the participant upon the participant's termination of employment or service,
to the extent that such participant is terminated for cause or, in the Board's
determination, the participant has taken any action prior to or following his
termination of employment or service which would have constituted grounds for a
termination for cause, in either of which case, the Company shall be entitled to
recover from the participant, a dollar amount equal to the difference between
the exercise price paid by the participant for such shares of Common Stock and
the sale price realized by the participant upon the disposition of for such
shares of Common Stock. This right to repurchase shares of Common Stock or to
recover amounts from a participant shall be exercisable by the Company in
accordance with terms and conditions established by the Board.

         (b) The rights of repurchase and recovery under this Section 12 shall
be exercisable by the Company only during the 180-day period following a
participant's termination of employment or service.



   30

13.      WITHHOLDING.

         The Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required by law to
be withheld in respect of grants under the Plan from amounts paid to a
participant in cash as salary, bonus or other compensation. In the Board's
discretion, a participant may be permitted to elect to have withheld from the
shares otherwise issuable to the participant, or to tender to the Company, a
number of shares of Common Stock the aggregate Fair Market Value of which does
not exceed the minimum required withholding rate for federal (including FICA),
state and local tax liabilities. Any such election must be in a form and manner
prescribed by the Board.

14.      CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLAN.

         The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect
of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan,
shall be determined solely by the Board. Any determination by the Board shall be
final and binding on all participants. The Plan shall be governed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of law
provisions of such laws.

15.      NO RIGHT TO GRANT; NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT.

         No person shall have any claim of right to be granted an Option under
the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as
giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or as giving any consultant, advisor or director of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries any right to continue to serve in such
capacity.

16.      GRANTS NOT INCLUDABLE FOR BENEFIT PURPOSES.

         Income recognized by a participant pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall not be included in the determination of benefits under any employee
pension benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) or group insurance or other benefit
plans applicable to the participant which are maintained by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, except as may be provided under the terms of such plans or
determined by resolution of the Board.

17.      NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION.

         No rule of strict construction shall be implied against the Company,
the Board or any other person in the interpretation of any of the terms of the
Plan, any grant made under the Plan or any rule or procedure established by the
Board.

18.      CAPTIONS.

         All Section headings used in the Plan are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of the Plan, and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or
affect in any way any provisions of the Plan, and all provisions of the Plan
shall be construed as if no captions had been used in the Plan.

19.      SEVERABILITY.

         Whenever possible, each provision in the Plan and every grant under the
Plan shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan or any grant under the Plan
shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such
provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision
as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other
provisions of the Plan and every other grant under the Plan shall remain in full
force and effect.



   31

20.      LEGENDS.

         All certificates for Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such transfer and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted and any applicable federal or state
securities laws, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
such certificates to make appropriate references to such restrictions.

21.      AMENDMENT.

         The Board may, by resolution, amend or revise the Plan, except that
such action shall not be effective without shareholder approval if such
shareholder approval is required to maintain the compliance of the Plan and/or
grants made to directors, executive officers or other persons with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor rule. The Board may not
modify any Options previously granted under the Plan in a manner adverse to the
holders thereof without the consent of such holders, except in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 8, 10 or 22.

22.      MODIFICATION FOR GRANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.

         The Board may, without amending the Plan, determine the terms and
conditions applicable to grants of Options to participants who are foreign
nationals or employed outside the United States in a manner otherwise
inconsistent with the Plan if the Board deems such terms and conditions
necessary in order to recognize differences in local law or regulations, tax
policies or customs.

23.      EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION OF PLAN.

         Upon approval by the Company's shareholders, the Plan shall be
effective as of September 7, 2001, the date the Plan was approved by the Board.
The Plan shall terminate on September 6, 2011, unless it is earlier terminated
by the Board. Termination of the Plan shall not affect previous grants under the
Plan.

                                                                      EXHIBIT C

                             CATALINA LIGHTING, INC.
                     MANAGEMENT SETTLEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN


1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.

         The purpose of the Catalina Lighting, Inc. Management Settlement Stock
Option Plan (the "Plan") is to promote the interests of Catalina Lighting, Inc.
(the "Company"), its subsidiaries and its shareholders by providing for the
grant of options to purchase the Company's common stock for the purposes of (i)
settling the Company's obligations to certain of the Company's former and
current management employees under employment agreements previously entered into
between the Company and such former and current management employees, and (ii)
obtaining the agreement of certain former and current management employees not
to compete or engage in other practices that may be harmful to the Company and
its subsidiaries.

2.       ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) Subject to the following paragraphs, the Plan shall be administered
by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or by a Compensation Committee
of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"). If the Board delegates to the
Compensation Committee the authority to administer the Plan, the Compensation
Committee shall be empowered to take all actions reserved to the Board under the
Plan. The Board is authorized to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and
rescind rules and regulations to further the purposes of the Plan, and to make
all other determinations necessary for the administration of the Plan. All such
actions by the Board shall be conclusive, final and binding on all recipients of
grants hereunder ("participants").

         (b) For so long as the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") is
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), any Compensation Committee to which Plan administration is
delegated shall consist solely of Board members who qualify as (i) "Non-Employee
Directors" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and (ii) "outside
directors" as defined under Section 162(m) or any successor provision of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and applicable Treasury
regulations thereunder, if and to the extent such qualification is necessary so
that grants made under the Plan or the exercise of rights thereunder will
qualify for any tax or other material benefit to participants or the Company and
its subsidiaries under applicable law.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, subject to any
limitations or restrictions the Board may impose from time to time, delegate to
the Chief Executive Officer the authority to administer the Plan, including the
authority to grant Nonqualified Options (as defined in Section 3) to former and
current employees (other than the Chief Executive Officer) of the Company and
its subsidiaries who are not subject, by reason of their position with the
Company or its subsidiaries, to the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange
Act and who are not expected to be subject to the limitations of Code Section
162(m).

3.       GRANTS.

         Grants under the Plan shall be in the form of "Nonqualified Options"
(options that do not qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of
Code Section 422 or any successor provision). Each grant of a Nonqualified
Option shall be provided for through a "Grant Instrument" (as defined in
Section 5).



   33

4.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to grants made under the
Plan is 1,569,229. The Common Stock to be offered under the Plan shall be
authorized and unissued Common Stock or issued Common Stock that shall have been
reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury. The Common Stock covered by
any unexercised portion of terminated stock options granted under the Plan may
again be subject to new grants under the Plan. In the event the purchase price
of a Nonqualified Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of
Common Stock, only the net number of shares of Common Stock issuable in
connection with the exercise of the Nonqualified Option shall be counted against
the number of shares remaining available for grant under the Plan. No
participant shall receive grants in respect of more than 750,000 shares of
Common Stock in any calendar year (subject to adjustment as provided in Section
8).

5.       PARTICIPANTS.

         The Board shall determine and designate from time to time those former
and current employees of the Company or its subsidiaries who shall be granted
Nonqualified Options under the Plan and the number of shares of Common Stock to
be covered by each such Nonqualified Option grant; provided, that grants made
under the Plan to former and current employees shall not be in connection with
the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. In making its
determinations, the Board shall take into account such factors as the Board
shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.
Each grant shall be evidenced by a written Nonqualified Option agreement or
grant form ("Grant Instrument") as the Board shall approve from time to time.

6.       FAIR MARKET VALUE.

         For all purposes under the Plan, the term "Fair Market Value" shall
mean, as of any applicable date, (i) if the principal securities market on which
the Common Stock is traded is a national securities exchange or The Nasdaq
National Market ("NNM"), the closing price of the Common Stock on such exchange
or NNM, as the case may be, or if no sale of the Common Stock shall have
occurred on such date, on the next preceding date on which there was a reported
sale; (ii) if the Common Stock is not traded on a national securities exchange
or NNM, the closing price on such date as reported by The Nasdaq SmallCap
Market, or if no sale of the Common Stock shall have occurred on such date, on
the next preceding date on which there was a reported sale; (iii) if the
principal securities market on which the Common Stock is traded is not a
national securities exchange, NNM or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the average of
the bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.; (iv)
if not reported by the National Quotation Board, the closing price of a share of
Common Stock on the date of grant as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board; (v) if
the price of the Common Stock is not so reported, the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board.

7.       GRANTS OF OPTIONS.

         (a) Exercise Price of Nonqualified Options. Nonqualified Options shall
be granted at an exercise price as determined in each case by the Board.

         (b) Term and Termination of Nonqualified Options. The Board shall
determine the term within which each Nonqualified Option may be exercised, in
whole or in part, provided that such term shall not exceed 10 years from the
date of grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, all rights to exercise
Nonqualified Options shall terminate on the scheduled expiration date as set
forth in the applicable Grant Instrument.

         (c) Payment for Shares. Full payment for shares purchased upon exercise
of Nonqualified Options granted under the Plan shall be made at the time the
Nonqualified Options are exercised in whole or in part. Payment of the purchase
price shall be made in cash or in such other form as the Board may approve,
including, without limitation, (i) by the participant's delivery to the Company
of a promissory note containing such terms as the Board may determine, (ii) by
the participant's delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock that have
been held by the participant for at least six months prior to exercise of the
Nonqualified Options, valued at the Fair Market



   34

Value of such shares on the date of exercise, or (iii) if the Common Stock is
publicly traded, pursuant to a cashless exercise arrangement with a broker on
such terms as the Board may determine; provided, however, that if payment is
made pursuant to clause (i), the then par value of the purchased shares shall be
paid in cash if required by applicable law or otherwise deemed appropriate by
the Board. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued to the participant until
such payment has been made, and a participant shall have none of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to Nonqualified Options held by such participant.

         (d) Other Terms and Conditions. The Board shall have the discretion to
determine terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, that will be
applicable to Nonqualified Options. Nonqualified Options granted to the same or
different participants, or at the same or different times, need not contain
similar provisions.

8.       ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT CAPITAL CHANGES.

         The number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Option grants, the
exercise price applicable to Nonqualified Options previously granted, and the
number and kind of shares available subsequently to be granted under the Plan
shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares or other change in capitalization with a
similar substantive effect upon the shares of capital stock subject to the Plan
or to Options granted under the Plan. The Board shall have the sole power and
discretion to determine the nature and amount of the adjustment to be made in
each case. The adjustment so made shall be final and binding on all
participants.

9.       DEFINITION OF CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         For purposes of this Plan, a "Change of Control" shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) the acquisition, other than solely from the Company, by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or an employee benefit
plan of the Company, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Securities"); or

         (b) a reorganization, merger, consolidation or recapitalization of the
Company (a "Business Combination"), other than a Business Combination in which
more than 50% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities
of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the Business
Combination is held by the persons who, immediately prior to the Business
Combination, were the holders of the Voting Securities; or

         (c) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets.

10.      CONSEQUENCES OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL.

         (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, immediately prior to a
Change of Control that is, in the Board's determination, primarily for cash, all
outstanding Nonqualified Options which have been granted under the Plan and
which are not exercisable as of the effective date of the Change of Control
shall automatically accelerate and become exercisable upon the effective date of
the Change of Control; provided, that any exercise of such accelerated Options
shall be contingent upon the actual consummation of the Change of Control.

         (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon a Change of Control
that the Board determines is not primarily for cash as described in subsection
(a) above, each outstanding Nonqualified Option shall be assumed by the
Acquiring Corporation (as defined below) or parent thereof or replaced with a
comparable option or right to purchase shares of the capital stock, or equity
equivalent instrument, of the Acquiring Corporation or parent thereof, or other
comparable rights (such assumed and comparable options and rights, together, the
"Replacement Options"); provided, however, that if the Acquiring Corporation or
parent thereof does not intend to grant Replacement Options, then unless
otherwise determined by the Board all outstanding Nonqualified Options which
have been



   35

granted under the Plan and which are not exercisable as of the effective date of
the Change of Control shall automatically accelerate and become exercisable
immediately prior to the effective date of the Change of Control; provided, that
any exercise of such accelerated Options shall be contingent upon the actual
consummation of the Change of Control. The term "Acquiring Corporation" means
the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may
be. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall have
discretion, in the applicable Grant Instrument or an amendment thereof, to
provide for the acceleration of Nonqualified Options upon a Change of Control.
The Board may determine in its discretion (but shall not be obligated to do so)
that in lieu of the issuance of Replacement Options, all holders of outstanding
Nonqualified Options which are exercisable immediately prior to a Change of
Control (including those that become exercisable under Section 10(a) or this
Section 10(b)) will be required to surrender them in exchange for a payment, in
cash or Common Stock as determined by the Board, of an amount equal to the
amount (if any) by which the then Fair Market Value of Common Stock subject to
unexercised Nonqualified Options exceeds the exercise price of those
Nonqualified Options, with such payment to take place as of the date of the
Change of Control or such other date as the Board may prescribe.

         (c) Any Nonqualified Options that are not assumed or replaced by
Replacement Options, exercised or cashed out prior to or concurrent with a
Change of Control will terminate effective upon the Change of Control or at such
other time as the Board deems appropriate, unless otherwise expressly provided
in any applicable Grant Instrument.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event
of a Change of Control, no action described in the Plan shall be taken
(including, without limitation, actions described in subsections (a), (b) and
(c) above) if such actions would make the Change of Control ineligible for
desired accounting or tax treatment if, in the absence of such actions, the
Change of Control would qualify for such treatment and the Company intends to
use such treatment with respect to such Change of Control.


11.      TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

         Unless otherwise determined by the Board, Nonqualified Options granted

only by the participant.

         The Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required by law to
be withheld in respect of grants under the Plan from amounts paid to a
participant in cash as salary, bonus or other compensation. In the Board's
discretion, a participant may be permitted to elect to have withheld from the
shares otherwise issuable to the participant, or to tender to the Company, a
number of shares of Common Stock the aggregate Fair Market Value of which does
not exceed the minimum required withholding rate for federal (including FICA),
state and local tax liabilities. Any such election must be in a form and manner
prescribed by the Board.

13.      CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLAN.

         The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect
of the Plan and of its rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan,
shall be determined solely by the Board. Any determination by the Board shall be
final and binding on all participants. The Plan shall be governed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of law
provisions of such laws.

14.      NO RIGHT TO GRANT; NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT.

         No person shall have any claim of right to be granted a Nonqualified
Option under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be
construed as giving any employee any right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or as giving any consultant, advisor or
director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries any right to continue to
serve in such capacity.


   36

15.      GRANTS NOT INCLUDABLE FOR BENEFIT PURPOSES.

         Income recognized by a participant pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan shall not be included in the determination of benefits under any employee
pension benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) or group insurance or other benefit
plans applicable to the participant which are maintained by the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, except as may be provided under the terms of such plans or
determined by resolution of the Board.

16.      NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION.

         No rule of strict construction shall be implied against the Company,
the Board or any other person in the interpretation of any of the terms of the
Plan, any grant made under the Plan or any rule or procedure established by the
Board.

17.      CAPTIONS.

         All Section headings used in the Plan are for convenience only, do not
constitute a part of the Plan, and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or
affect in any way any provisions of the Plan, and all provisions of the Plan
shall be construed as if no captions had been used in the Plan.

18.      SEVERABILITY.

         Whenever possible, each provision in the Plan and every grant under the
Plan shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of the Plan or any grant under the Plan
shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such
provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision
as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other
provisions of the Plan and every other grant under the Plan shall remain in full
force and effect.

19.      LEGENDS.

         All certificates for Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such transfer and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted and any applicable federal or state
securities laws, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
such certificates to make appropriate references to such restrictions.

20.      AMENDMENT.

         The Board may, by resolution, amend or revise the Plan, except that
such action shall not be effective without shareholder approval if such
shareholder approval is required to maintain the compliance of the Plan and/or
grants made to directors, executive officers or other persons with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor rule. The Board may not
modify any Nonqualified Options previously granted under the Plan in a manner
adverse to the holders thereof without the consent of such holders, except in
accordance with the provisions of Sections 8, 10 or 21.

21.      MODIFICATION FOR GRANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.

         The Board may, without amending the Plan, determine the terms and
conditions applicable to grants of Nonqualified Options to participants who are
foreign nationals or employed outside the United States in a manner otherwise
inconsistent with the Plan if the Board deems such terms and conditions
necessary in order to recognize differences in local law or regulations, tax
policies or customs.


   37

22.      EFFECTIVE DATE; TERMINATION OF PLAN.

         Upon approval by the Company's shareholders, the Plan shall be

         2.1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Every meeting of shareholders shall be held at

or by the Chief Executive Officer or by the Secretary. At any special meeting of
shareholders only such business may be transacted as is related to the purpose
or purposes of such meeting set forth in the notice thereof given pursuant to
Section 2.6 of the By-laws.

         2.5. FIXING RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining the
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any
rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion
or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board
may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of
shareholders. Such date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days
before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other
action. If no such record date is fixed:

                  2.5.1 The record date for determining shareholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if
notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on

                  2.5.2 The record date for determining shareholders entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall not be
more than ten days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record

written consent shall deliver to the Secretary of the Corporation a notice
setting forth the information required under Section 2.15 of these By-Laws
respecting such proposed corporate action and requesting that the Board of
Directors fix a record date for purposes of determining shareholders entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing, and the Board of Directors shall
promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a

on which a notice and request meeting the requirements of this Section 2.5.2 is

         A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
meeting of shareholders is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless
the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting. If any meeting of
shareholders is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for
the original meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.

         2.6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS. Except as otherwise provided
in Sections 2.5 and 2.7 of the By-laws, whenever under the Business Corporation
Act or the Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws, shareholders are required
or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written notice shall be given
stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special
meeting, the purpose or purposes which the meeting is called. A copy of the
notice of any meeting shall be given, personally or by mail, not less than ten
nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, to each shareholder
entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall
be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, with postage
prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his address as it appears on the records
of the Corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or
of the transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice required by this
section has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence
of the facts stated therein. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place
thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at
the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called. If, however, after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of
the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to
vote at the meeting.

         2.7. WAIVERS OF NOTICE. Whenever notice is required to be given to any
shareholder under any provision of the Business Corporation Act or the Articles
of Incorporation or the By-laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the
shareholder entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein,
shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting
shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the shareholder
attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, which must occur at the
beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting
is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at,
nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the shareholders need be
specified in any written waiver of notice.

         2.8. LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS. The Secretary shall prepare and make, or
cause to be prepared and made, at least ten days before every meeting of
shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any shareholder who is
present.

         2.9. QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS; ADJOURNMENT. At each meeting of
shareholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote
at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of any business at such meeting, except to the extent
otherwise required by applicable law. Where a separate vote by a class or
classes of shareholders is required, the holders of a majority of the shares of
such class or classes then outstanding, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take such action with respect to
the vote on that matter, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable
law. The chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of
stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of shareholders,
including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn
such meeting to another time and place.

         2.10. VOTING; PROXIES. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of
Incorporation every shareholder of record shall be entitled at every meeting of
shareholders to one vote for each share of capital stock standing in his name on
the record of shareholders determined in accordance with Section 2.5 of the
By-laws. If the Articles of Incorporation provide for more or less than one vote
for any shares, on any matter, every reference in the By-laws or the Business
Corporation Act to a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such
majority or other



   41

proportion of the votes of such stock. The provisions of Section 607.0721 of the
Business Corporation Act shall apply in determining whether any shares of
capital stock may be voted and the persons, if any, entitled to vote such
shares; but the Corporation shall be protected in treating the persons in whose
names shares of capital stock stand on the record of shareholders as owners
thereof for all purposes. At any meeting of shareholders (at which a quorum is
present to organize the meeting), all matters, except as otherwise provided by
law or by the Articles of Incorporation or by the By-laws, shall be decided by a
majority of the votes cast at such meeting by the holders of shares present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, whether or not a
quorum is present when the vote is taken. All elections of directors shall be by
written ballot unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation. In
voting on any other question on which a vote by ballot is required by law or is
demanded by any shareholder entitled to vote, the voting shall be by ballot.
Each ballot shall be signed by the shareholder voting or by his proxy, and shall
state the number of shares voted. On all other questions, votes may be cast
orally. Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to
express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. The validity and
enforceability of any proxy shall be determined in accordance with Section
607.0722 of the Business Corporation Act.

         2.11. SELECTION AND DUTIES OF INSPECTORS AT MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.
The Board, in advance of any meeting of shareholders, may appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If inspectors are
not so appointed, the person presiding at such meeting may, and on the request
of any shareholder entitled to vote thereat shall, appoint one or more
inspectors. In case any person appointed fails to appear or act, the vacancy may
be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the
meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each inspector, before entering upon
the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute
the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according
to the best of his ability. The inspector or inspectors shall determine the
number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares
represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect
of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all
challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and
tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts
as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.
On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to
vote thereat, the inspector or inspectors shall make a report in writing of any
challenge, question or matter determining by him or them and execute a
certificate of any fact found by him or them. Any report or certificate made by
the inspector or inspectors shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated
and of the vote as certified by him or them.

         2.12. ORGANIZATION. At every meeting of shareholders, the Chairman of
the Board, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, or in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of
the Board, the President, or in the absence of the President and the Chairman of
the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, and in case more
than one Vice President shall be present, the Vice President designated by the
Board (or in the absence of any such designation, the most senior Vice
President, based on age, present), shall act as chairman of the meeting. The
Secretary, or in his absence one of the Assistant Secretaries, shall act as
secretary of the meeting.

         2.13. ORDER OF BUSINESS. The order of business at all meetings of
shareholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting.

         2.14. WRITTEN CONSENT OF SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Unless
otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, any action required by the
Business Corporation Act to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
shareholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual
or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not
less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted. Notice of the taking of the corporate action without a
meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
shareholders who have consented in writing in accordance with the Business
Corporation Act.


   42

         2.15. NOMINATIONS AND SHAREHOLDER BUSINESS.

         (a) To be properly brought before an annual meeting of shareholders,

the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this
Section 2.15.

         (b) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an
annual meeting by a shareholder under this Section 2.15, the shareholder must
have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation
and such business must be a proper subject for shareholder action under the
Business Corporation Act. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered
to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less
than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Corporation's
release of proxy materials to shareholders in connection with the previous
year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event the Corporation did
not conduct an annual meeting the previous year or if the date of the annual
meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 30 days from
such anniversary date, then notice by the shareholder, in order to be timely,
must be delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th
day prior to the annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which the
date of the meeting is publicly announced. Such shareholder's notice must set
forth (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person
that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of
directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")
(including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement
as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other
business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in
such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the notice
and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is
made (A) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the
Corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, (B) the number of shares of
the Corporation which are owned (beneficially or of record) by such shareholder
and such beneficial owner, (C) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between such shareholder and such beneficial owner and any other
person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of
such business by such shareholder and any material interest of such shareholder
and of such beneficial owner in such business, and (D) a representation that
such shareholder or its agent or designee intends to appear in person or by
proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

         (c) Only such business may be conducted at a special meeting of
shareholders as has been brought before the meeting pursuant to the
Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which
directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (i)
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any shareholder of
the Corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving the notice
required by this Section 2.15, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.15. Nominations
by shareholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at
such a special meeting of Shareholders if the shareholder's notice required by
this Section 2.15 is delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of
the 120th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on
which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and
of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such
meeting.

         (d) Only those persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 2.15 will be eligible for election as
directors at any meeting of shareholders. Only business brought before the
meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.15 may be
conducted at a meeting of shareholders. The chairman of the meeting has the
power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be
brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth
in this Section 2.15 and, if any



   43

proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 2.15, to
declare that such defective proposal shall be disregarded.

         (e) For purposes of this Section 2.15, "public announcement" shall
include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service,
Associated Press, Business Wire, PR Newswire or comparable national news service
or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

         (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15, a
shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set
forth in this Section 2.15. Nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be deemed to
remove any obligation of shareholders to comply with the requirements of Rule
14a-8 under the Exchange Act with respect to proposals requested to be included
in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to said Rule 14a-8.

         3.1. GENERAL POWERS. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of
Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by
or under the direction of the Board. The Board may adopt such rules and
regulations, not inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws
or applicable laws, as it may deem proper for the conduct of its meetings and
the management of the Corporation. In addition to the powers expressly conferred
by the By-laws, the Board may exercise all powers and perform all acts which are
not required, by the By-laws or the Articles of Incorporation or by law, to be
exercised and performed by the shareholders.

         3.2. NUMBER; QUALIFICATION; TERM OF OFFICE. The Board shall consist of
one or more members. The total number of directors may be changed from time to
time by action of the shareholders or by action of the Board. Directors need not
be shareholders. Each director shall hold office until his successor is elected
and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

         3.3. ELECTION. Directors shall, except as otherwise required by law or
by the Articles of Incorporation, be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at
a meeting of shareholders by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the
election.

         3.4. NEWLY CREATED DIRECTORSHIPS AND VACANCIES. Unless otherwise
provided in the Articles of Incorporation, created directorships resulting from
an increase in the number of directors and vacancies occurring in the Board for
any other reason, including the removal of directors without cause, may be

actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding to the fullest extent and in the manner set forth in and permitted by

Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reason to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such right of indemnification
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such director or
officer may be entitled apart from the foregoing provisions. The termination of
any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or

presumption that the person did not adhere to the applicable standard of care
set forth above. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be deemed to
be a contract between the Corporation and each director and officer who serves
in such capacity at any time while this Article 8 and the relevant provisions of

existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or
threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any

criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or
was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner set forth in and
permitted by the Business Corporation Act, and any other applicable law, as from
time to time in effect. Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any such person may be entitled apart
from the foregoing provisions.

         8.3. INSURANCE. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 8.1 and 8.2
of the By-laws or under Section 607.014 of the Business Corporation Act or any
other provision of law.

         8.4 SEVERABILITY. If this Article 8 or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each person as to costs, charges and
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the
right of the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable
portion of this Article 8 that shall not have been invalidated and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

         8.5 SUBROGATION. In the event of payment of indemnification, the
Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to any right of
recovery such person may have and such person, as a condition of receiving
indemnification from the Corporation, shall execute all documents and do all
things that the Corporation may deem necessary or desirable to perfect such
right of recovery, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable
the Corporation to effectively enforce any such recovery.

         8.6 ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by a person who is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation
in defending a civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such proceeding to the extent permitted by
