                  (a) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within
         the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a
         "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
         promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the
         then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Outstanding Company
         Common Stock") or (ii) the combined voting power of the then
         outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally
         in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting

         Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any
         acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee
         benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company

                  (b) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
         Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at

         becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or
         nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by
         a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
         Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a
         member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any
         such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result
         of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the
         election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened
         solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other
         than the Board; or

         or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
         of the Company or the acquisition of assets of another corporation (a
         "Business Combination"), in each case, unless, following such Business
         Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and
         entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the
         Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
         Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially
         own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then
         outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the
         then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
         election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting
         from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a
         corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or
         all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or
         through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
         as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of
         the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting
         Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any
         corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee
         benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation
         resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly
         or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
         shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business
         Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
         securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of
         such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior
         to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the
         members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from
         such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the
         time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the
         Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

                  (d) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete
         liquidation or dissolution of the Company."

         2. Section 4.1(d) of the Plan is amended by adding the following
sentence to the first paragraph thereof:

                                       6


   3

"Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event of a Change of Control of the
         type set forth in paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of the definition of Change
         of Control and (ii) immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change of
         Control of the type set forth in paragraph (c) of the definition of
         Change of Control, each Option outstanding under the Plan shall become
         exercisable in whole or in part without regard to any vesting
         provisions set forth in the related Option Agreement."

         3. Subsection 4.1(e) of the Plan is amended by deleting therefrom in
its entirety the second paragraph thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:

         "Subject to any action required by the shareholders, in the event of a
         Business Combination that does not result in a Change of Control, each
         outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall pertain to and
         apply to the securities or other consideration that a holder of the
         number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option or to which the
         Stock Appreciation Right relates would have been entitled to receive in
         the Business Combination. In the event of a Business Combination that
         results in a Change of Control of the type set forth in paragraph (c)
         of the definition of Change of Control or in the event of the complete
         liquidation or dissolution of the Company, then each outstanding Option
         and Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate; provided, however, that
         each holder thereof shall, in such event, have the right immediately
         prior to such Change of Control or complete liquidation or dissolution,
         to exercise his or her Option or Stock Appreciation Right in whole or
         in part without regard to any installment provision that might be
         contained in the applicable Agreement. The last sentence shall apply to
         any outstanding Options which are ISOs to the extent permitted by Code
         Section 422(d), and such outstanding ISO's in excess thereof shall,
         immediately upon the occurrence of such Business Combination, be
         treated for all purposes of the Plan as NQSOs and shall be immediately
         exercisable as such as provided in such sentence. Notwithstanding the
         foregoing, in no event shall any Option be exercisable after the date
         of termination of the exercise period of such Option."

         4. Section 5.3(a) of the Plan is amended by deleting therefrom in its
entirety the first sentence thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

                  "Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be exercisable during the
         first six months after their date of grant; provided, however, that
         notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock Appreciation Rights shall become
         exercisable (i) in the event of a Change of Control of the type set
         forth in paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of the definition of Change of
         Control and (ii) immediately prior to a Change of Control of the type
         set forth in paragraph (c) of the definition of Change of Control."

         5. Section 6.1 of the Plan is amended by inserting the following
sentence in the second paragraph thereof immediately following the first
sentence of such paragraph:


                                       7


   4

                  "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restriction Period shall
         end (i) upon a Change of Control of the type set forth in paragraph
         (a), (b) or (d) of the definition of Change of Control and (ii)
         immediately prior to a Change of Control of the type set forth in
         paragraph (c) of the definition of Change of Control."

         6. Section 6.1 of the Plan is further amended by deleting therefrom in
its entirety the last paragraph thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the
following:

         "If any change is made in the Common Stock by reason of any Business
         Combination that does not result in a Change of Control or any
         recapitalization, stock dividend, split up or combination of shares,
         then any shares received by an Employee with respect to Restricted
         Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions applicable to such
         Restricted Stock and the certificates representing such shares shall be
         deposited with the Company."

         7. The Company reserves the right by action of the Committee to amend
further at any time any of the terms and provisions of the Plan as amended
hereby. Except as expressly or by necessary implication amended hereby, the Plan
shall continue in full force and effect.
