foregoing. Upon the payment of any Phantom Shares, there will be deemed to
have been delivered under this Plan for purposes of this Paragraph 3 the number
of shares of Common Stock equal to the Phantom Shares regardless of whether
such Phantom Shares were paid in cash or shares of Common Stock. Subject to
the provisions of the preceding sentence, any shares of Common Stock which are
subject to Option Rights or Phantom Shares awarded that are terminated
unexercised, forfeited or surrendered or which expire for any reason will again
be available for issuance under this Plan. No person may receive Option
Rights, Phantom Shares and Bonus Stock awards with respect to more than 100,000
shares during any calendar year. Further, the maximum value of Performance
Units that may be granted to any person during any calendar year may not exceed

grants to any Employee of options to purchase shares of Common Stock upon such
terms and conditions as it may determine in accordance with the following
provisions:

Common Stock to which it pertains.
(b) Each grant will specify its Option Price, which may
not be less than 100% of the Market Value per Share on the Date of
Grant.
(c) Each grant will specify that the Option Price will be
payable (i) in cash or by check payable and acceptable to the Company
or (ii) to the extent provided for in the option agreement, (a) by
tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the optionee
for at least six months, if acquired pursuant to a Company stock
option, and having an aggregate Market Value Per Share as of the date
of exercise and tender that is not greater than the full Option Price
for the shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and
by paying any remaining amount of the Option Price as provided in (i)
above (provided that the Committee may, upon confirming that the
optionee owns the number of shares being tendered, authorize the
issuance of a new certificate for the number of shares being acquired
pursuant to the exercise of the option less the number of shares being
tendered upon the exercise and return to the optionee (or not require
surrender of) the certificate for the shares being tendered upon the
exercise) or (b) by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly
executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a
broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and
acceptable to the Company to pay the Option Price and any required tax
withholding amounts; provided that in the event the optionee chooses
to pay the Option Price and withholding taxes as provided in (ii)(b)
above, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures
and enter into such agreements as the Committee may prescribe as a
condition of such payment procedure, or (iii) by a combination of such
payment methods. Payment instruments will be received subject to
collection.
(d) Successive grants may be made to the same Participant
whether or not any Option Rights previously granted to such
Participant remain unexercised.
(e) Each grant will specify the required period or
periods of continuous service by the Participant with the Company and
the Subsidiaries and/or the Performance Objectives (if any) to be
achieved before the Option Rights or installments thereof will become
exercisable, and any grant may provide, in the Committee's discretion,
for the earlier vesting of the Option Rights upon termination of the
Participant's employment due to death, disability or retirement.
(f) Each grant the exercise of which, or the timing of
the exercise of which, is dependent, in whole or in part, on the
achievement of Performance Objectives may specify a minimum level of
achievement in respect of the specified Performance Objectives below
which no Options Rights will be exercisable and
5
may set forth a formula or other method for determining the number of
Option Rights that will be exercisable if performance is at or above
such minimum but short of full achievement of the Performance
Objectives.
(g) Option Rights granted under this Plan may be (i)
options which are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code, (ii) options which are not intended to so
qualify or (iii) combinations of the foregoing, as specified in the
option agreement.
(h) Option Rights granted to a Participant who is an
officer of the Company may, in the discretion of the Committee,
provide for an automatic "reload" grant upon the exercise of the
Option Right with shares of Common Stock, with such terms and
conditions on any such reload grant as the Committee may choose,
provided, however, the Option Price may not be less than 100% of the
Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant of the reload option and
its term may not exceed the remaining term for the exercised portion
of the Option Right.
(i) Each grant shall specify the period during which the
Option Right may be exercised, but no Option Right will be exercisable
more than ten years from the Date of Grant.
(j) Each grant of Option Rights will be evidenced by an
agreement executed on behalf of the Company by any authorized officer
and delivered to the Participant and containing such terms and
provisions consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Option Rights may be granted
from time to time in substitution for stock options held by employees of other
corporations who become Employees as the result of a merger or consolidation of
the employing corporation with the Company or any Subsidiary, or the
acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary of the assets of the employing
corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary of stock of
the employing corporation as the result of which it becomes a Subsidiary. The
terms and conditions of substitute Option Rights granted may vary from the
terms and conditions set forth above, to the extent the Committee, at the time
of grant, deems it appropriate to conform, in whole or in part, to the
provisions of the stock options in substitution for which they are granted.
5. Phantom Shares. The Committee may also from time to time make
grants to any Employee of Phantom Shares upon such terms and conditions as it
may determine in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Each grant will specify the number of Phantom Shares
to which it pertains, and whether phantom dividends will be credited
on such Phantom Shares.
(b) Each grant will specify the Performance Objectives
that are to be achieved in order for the Phantom Shares to be earned,
and will specify a minimum acceptable level of achievement in respect
of the specified Performance Objectives below which the Phantom Shares
will be forfeited and may set forth a formula or other method for
determining the number of Phantom Shares to be earned if performance
is at or above such minimum but short of full achievement of the
Performance Objectives.
(c) Each grant will specify the time and manner of
payment of Phantom Shares which have been earned, which payment may be
made in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(d) Each grant of Phantom Shares will be evidenced by an
agreement executed on behalf of the Company by any authorized officer
and delivered to the Participant and containing such terms and
provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve,
which may include provisions relating to vesting upon termination of
the Participant's employment due to death, disability or retirement.

make grants to any Employee of Performance Units upon such terms and conditions
as it may determine in accordance with the following provisions:

Units to which it pertains.
(b) Each grant will specify the Performance Objectives
that are to be achieved in order for the Performance Units to be
earned and will specify a minimum acceptable level of achievement in
respect of the specified Performance Objectives below which no payment
will be made and may set forth a formula or other method for
determining the amount of payment to be made if performance is at or
above such minimum but short of full achievement of the Performance
Objectives.
(c) Each grant will specify the time and manner of
payment of Performance Units which have become payable, which payment
may be made in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock having an
aggregate Market Value per Share equal to the aggregate value of the
Performance Units which have become payable or (iii) any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the
time of payment.
(d) Each grant of a Performance Unit will be evidenced by
an agreement executed on behalf of the Company by any authorized
officer and delivered to the Participant and containing such terms and
provisions, consistent with this Plan, as the Committee may approve,
which may include provisions relating to vesting upon the termination
of the Participant's employment due to death, disability or
retirement.
7. Bonus Stock. The Committee may also from time to time make
grants to any Employee of Bonus Stock, which shall constitute a transfer of
shares of Common Stock, without other payment therefor, as additional
compensation for the Participant's services to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
8. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may also grant to
Employees an Other Stock-Based Award, which shall consist of a right which (i)
is not an Award described in Paragraphs 4 through 7 and (ii) is denominated or
payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on
or related to, shares of Common Stock as is deemed by the Committee to be
consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan,
the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other
Stock-Based Award. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant, who is an
Employee, to elect to defer, in the form of Phantom Shares, all or a portion of
the payment of an Award until a specified future time, but in no event for more
than five years or, if earlier, the date of termination of employment.
9. Director Options. (a) Each Director who is elected or
appointed to the Board for the first time after April 23, 1996 shall
automatically receive, on the date of his or her election or appointment, a
Director Option for 7,500 shares of Common Stock, which shall become vested as
to one-third of the shares on each anniversary of the Date of Grant; provided,
however, if the Director ceases to be a member of the Board, his unvested
Director Options, if any, on such date shall be automatically canceled unpaid,
unless such termination is due to death or disability, in which event the
unvested Director Options shall be automatically vested in full.
(b) On the day of the regular Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
of the Company in each year that this Plan is in effect (commencing with the
1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), each Director who is in office
immediately after such annual meeting and who was not elected or appointed to
the Board for the first time at such annual meeting shall automatically receive
a Director Option for 2,500 shares of Common Stock, which shall be 100% vested
on the Date of Grant.
(c) Each Director Option will be subject to all of the limitations
contained in the following provisions:

with respect to which the Director Option is being exercised,
accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price for such shares,
which payment may be (1) in cash by check acceptable to the Company,
(2) by tendering to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the
optionee for more than six months and having an aggregate Market Value
Per Share as of the date of exercise and tender that is not greater
than the full Option Price for the shares with respect to which the
Option is being exercised and by paying any remaining amount of the
Option Price as provided in (1) above (provided that the Committee may,
upon confirming that the optionee owns the number of shares being
tendered, authorize the issuance of a new certificate for the number
of shares being acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option less
the number of shares being tendered upon the exercise and return to
the optionee (or not require surrender of) the certificate for the
shares being tendered upon the exercise), (3) by the optionee
delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the
Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay
the Option Price and any required tax withholding amounts; provided
that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the Option Price in this
manner, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures
and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as
the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment
procedure, or (4) by a combination of such methods of payment.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
(iii) Each Director Option shall expire 10 years from the
Date of Grant thereof, but shall be subject to earlier termination as
follows: Director Options, to the extent exercisable as of the date
the Director ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any
reason, including death, must be exercised within three years of such
date unless the Director is removed for cause, in which event the
Director Option must be exercised within three months from the date of
such removal; provided however, that in no event shall the normal
expiration date of such Director Options be extended.
(iv) In the event that the number of shares of Common
Stock available for grants under this Plan is insufficient to make all
automatic grants provided for in this Paragraph 9 on the applicable
date, then all Directors who are entitled to a grant on such date
shall share ratably in the number of shares then available for grant
under this Plan, and shall have no right to receive a grant with
respect to the deficiencies in the number of available shares and all
future grants under this Paragraph 9 shall terminate.
10. Acceleration upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, all conditions and/or
restrictions relating to the continued performance of services and/or the
achievement of Performance Objectives with respect to the exercisability or
full entitlement to any Award shall immediately lapse upon a Change in Control.
11. Transferability. (a) Except as provided below, (1) no Award
(or any interest therein) will be transferable by a Participant other than by
(i) will or the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) a qualified domestic
relations order and (2) an Option Right will be exercisable during the
Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or by the Participant's guardian
or legal representative.
(b) The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in an option
agreement that the Option Right granted to the Participant (other than an
incentive stock option) may be transferred (in whole or in part and shall be
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose thereon) by
the Participant to (i) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant
("Immediate Family Members"), (ii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit
of the Immediate Family Members and, if applicable, the Participant or (iii) a
partnership in which such Immediate Family Members and, if applicable, the
Participant are the only partners. Following transfer, any such transferred
Option Rights shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as
were applicable to the Option Rights immediately prior to transfer; provided,
however, that no transferred Option Rights shall be exercisable unless
arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made to satisfy any tax
withholding obligations the Company may have with respect to the Option Rights.
8
12. Adjustments. The Board may make or provide for such
adjustments in the maximum number of shares specified in Paragraph 3, in the
numbers of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Director Options,
Option Rights and Phantom Shares granted hereunder, in the Option Price
applicable to any such Director Options and Option Rights, and/or in the kind
of shares covered thereby (including shares of another issuer), as the Board,
in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, may determine is equitably
required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that
otherwise would result from any stock dividend, stock split, combination of
shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the
Company, merger, consolidation, reorganization, partial or complete
liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities or any other
corporation transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the
foregoing.
13. Fractional Shares. The Company will not be required to issue
any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan. The Committee may
provide for the elimination of fractions for the settlement of fractions in
cash.
14. Withholding of Taxes. To the extent that the Company is
required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with
any grant or payment made to a Participant or any other person under this Plan,
it will be a condition to the receipt of such grant or payment that the
Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the payment of such taxes required to be withheld. The Committee may
provide in any grant agreement that such taxes may be satisfied by the
relinquishment of a portion of such Award or payment.
15. Administration of the Plan. (a) This Plan will be
administered by the Committee. A majority of the Committee will constitute a
quorum, and the action of the members the Committee present at any meeting at
which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved writing, will be the
acts of the Committee.
(b) The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
provision of this Plan or of any agreement, notification or document evidencing
the grant of an Award and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any
provision of this Plan or of any such agreement, notification or documentation
will be final and conclusive. No member of the Committee will be liable for
any such action or determination made in good faith or in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such member.
16. Amendments, Etc. (a) The Board may amend or terminate the
Plan or the Committee's authority to grant Awards under the Plan without the
consent of stockholders or Participants, except that any such action shall be
subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders at or before the next
annual meeting of stockholders for which the record date is after such Board
action if such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or
regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on
which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the Board may
otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes to the
Plan to stockholders for approval; provided, however, that without the consent
of an affected Participant, no such action may materially impair the rights of
such Participant under any Award theretofore granted to him.
(b) This Plan will not confer upon any Participant any right with
respect to continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any
Subsidiary, nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any
Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate such Participant's employment or
other service at any time.
17. Effectiveness, Term, Etc. This amendment of the Plan shall be
effective upon its approval by the Company's stockholders at the 1997 annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, in the event
that this amendment is not approved by the stockholders of the Company at such
meeting, it shall be automatically null and void for all purposes.
Notwithstanding anything in this amendment and restatement to the contrary, no
provision herein shall be applicable to any incentive stock option outstanding
prior to May 28, 1997 if such provision would constitute a "modification" of
such incentive stock option, within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.
Unless sooner terminated, this Plan shall terminate on April 24, 2005 and no
further Awards shall be made after such date, but all outstanding Awards on
such date shall remain effective in accordance with their terms and the terms
of this Plan.
