Fellow Shareholder:

As we are mailing the enclosed proxy and annual report, I want to take this time
to give an update on our progress and thank you for your continued  patience and
support. In the three short months since taking the reigns at Natural Solutions,
we have been working non-stop.

As promised, I have met personally with customers and distributors who represent
90% of our sales base.  We have sealed deals to expand our  distributor  network
and  negotiated  storage  and supply  agreements,  critical to our  success.  In
addition,  we have met with industry  leaders in an effort to better  understand
customer needs. Needless to say, the pace has been exhilarating.

During the past year,  we have made  regular  use of the  newswires  to keep our
investors up to date on the current  events at Natural  Solutions and since last
winter,  there has been much to talk  about.  Let me recap the most  notable  of
those events.

The most  exciting  event was the  introduction  of our next  generation  of Ice
Ban(R) products under the names, Ice Ban Summit(TM),  Performance Plus(TM),  and
Ultra(TM).  These  refinements  of our  enhanced  chlorides  were in response to
customer  needs.  Make no  mistake;  their  roots are in the same  great Ice Ban
products that started this industry. Today, we believe that no other supplier of
enhanced chlorides meets environmental and performance  standards as well as Ice
Ban. You can help our growth  efforts by urging your local highway  officials to
"go with the original and go with the best".

We also reported that the Company added several new Ice Ban  distributors to our
sales network.  Included in that group is Bare Ground  Systems,  who markets Ice
Ban under its private label "Bare Ground Solutions".  International Salt Company
also  joined  forces  with  us  to  market   pretreated  rock  salt  to  highway
professionals,  private contractors,  and home users. Reilly Industries has also
teamed up with us through their  distributor  network,  including  major players
such as GMCO and  Scottwood  Industries  in the west.  There are more and we are
continuing to add to their numbers.

Sadly,  we were forced to  discontinue  our efforts to market  Roadbind(R)  dust
suppression  products  last July.  After more than  three  years of effort,  the
directors,  of which I am one,  concluded that the sales growth was too slow and
costly to warrant  further  investment  of our  precious  capital.  The decision
required difficult layoffs and belt tightening  throughout the Company.  It also
left us with just six months to make sales to support the whole year.

Toward that end,  one key charge by the board of  directors to me was the search
for  strategic  products  and  partners  to  provide  year  round  sales  to our
nationwide customer and distributor  network. To further our strategic plans, we
have  discussions with potential  business  partners from time to time, but have
nothing  concrete  to  report  at this  time.  We have  been  fortunate  to find
additional  financial  backing  to  pursue  these  opportunities.  In  July  and
September  of this  year,  the  Company  received  an  additional  $1 million in
financial backing to support our plans.

As you can see, the challenges are great,  but I am optimistic that our superior
products and customer service mindset

                                             Sincerely,

                                             /s/ Lowell W. Morse

Directors' Compensation

         The  Company  does  not  have  a  fixed  policy  for  compensating  its
directors.  Each  director  is  reimbursed  for  certain  expenses  incurred  in
connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings.

         Effective  November 11,  1998,  the Company  adopted the 1999  Employee
Stock Option Plan. The maximum  aggregate  number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued  pursuant to the 1999  Employee  Stock  Option Plan is  1,500,000.
During  fiscal  years 2000 and 2001,  certain  directors  received  stock option
grants under the 1999 Employee  Stock Option Plan  totaling  100,000 and 200,000
shares,  respectively.  The exercise price of stock options  granted is equal to
the fair market value of the Common  Stock on the date of grant.  Each option is
granted for a term of ten years and is first exercisable on the date of grant of
the option.

         Options  granted  under  the 1999  Employee  Stock  Option  Plan may be
exercised  in whole or in part at any time upon  payment by the  optionee of the
exercise  price in cash. In addition,  the Company will  cooperate in a cashless
exercise of an option upon the request of a participant.

Employment Agreement

         On August 1, 2001 the  Company  signed  an  employment  agreement  with
Lowell W. Morse, to act as President of the Company.  Among others, the terms of
the  agreement  provide for a salary of $240,000  per year and  2,000,000  stock
options, which vest over the first two years of his employment.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

         The Company believes that the terms of the transactions provided in the
remainder  of this  section are at least as  favorable  as those that could have
been secured in an arm's length transaction.

         On August 11, 1999, the Company borrowed $750,000 from Dr. Robertson in
the form of a  convertible  debenture  bearing  interest  at 10% per  annum  and
maturing on August 11, 2001.  Prior to repayment,  the principal and accrued and
unpaid interest was originally  convertible into the Company's common stock at a
price of $0.75  per  share.  The  debenture  includes  two  detachable  warrants
entitling  the holder to purchase up to three  million  shares of the  Company's
common stock at a price of $0.75 per share.  On June 1, 2000,  the warrants were
cancelled and replaced by Warrant W-3A,  for three million shares at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share, and the conversion price on the convertible  debenture
was reduced to $0.25 per share. Warrant W-3A expires on May 15, 2005.

         On October 31, 1999,  the Company  sold four  million  shares of common
stock  to Dr.  Robertson  for $1  million.  As a part  of the  transaction,  Dr.
Robertson  acquired,  among other rights,



                                       14


the  right to name up to three of seven of the  directors  of the  Company.  Dr.
Robertson  was elected  Chairman of the Board of  Directors  subsequent  to this
transaction.

         On June 1, 2000 Dr.  Robertson  invested an additional  $250,000 in the
form of a convertible  debenture  bearing  interest at 10%,  maturing on June 1,
2005, and secured by the assets of the Company.  The principal amount and unpaid
accrued  interest may be converted into common stock of the Company at a rate of
$0.25 per common  share at anytime  prior to  repayment.  As a condition  of the
debenture,  the  Company  amended  the  terms  of  the  $750,000  debenture  and
detachable  warrants,  dated August 11,  1999,  reducing the price from $0.75 to
$0.25 per common share and secured the debenture with the assets of the Company.

         On July 31, 2000 Dr. Robertson  invested an additional  $350,000 in the
form of a convertible  debenture  bearing interest at 10%,  maturing on July 31,
2005, and secured by the assets of the Company.  The principal amount and unpaid
accrued  interest may be converted into common stock of the Company at a rate of
$0.25 per common share at anytime prior to repayment.

         On August 31, 2000 Dr. Robertson invested an additional $435,000 in the
form of a convertible  debenture  bearing interest at 10%, maturing on September
1, 2005,  and secured by the assets of the  Company.  The  principal  amount and
unpaid  accrued  interest may be converted into common stock of the Company at a
rate of $0.25 per common share at anytime prior to repayment.

         On November 10, 2000 Dr. Robertson  invested an additional  $100,000 in
the  form of a  convertible  debenture  bearing  interest  at 10%,  maturing  on
November  11,  2005,  and secured by the assets of the  Company.  The  principal
amount and unpaid  accrued  interest may be  converted  into common stock of the
Company at a rate of $0.25 per common share at anytime prior to repayment.

         In May of  2000,  the  Company  began  seeking  to  raise  a  total  of
$3,135,000  in debt and  equity to finance  its  current  operational  plans and
expand its sales,  marketing,  and  distribution  networks.  Dr.  Robertson  has
invested  $1,135,000 of these funds through  convertible  debentures,  including
those discussed in the paragraphs  immediately above. As of July 31, 2001, 7,000
shares of  preferred  stock were issued and  outstanding,  which were sold for a
total of $750,000.  Dividends  of $5,537 were paid as of January 1, 2001.  As of
July 31, 2001, the preferred  stock had earned and unpaid  dividends of $32,592.
The ultimate outcome of the offering has not been determined.

Audit Committee Report

         Management  is  responsible  for  the  Company's   internal   controls,
financial reporting process and compliance with laws and regulations and ethical
business  standards.  The  independent  auditor is responsible for performing an
independent  audit  of  the  Company's   consolidated  financial  statements  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  and issuing a report
thereon.  The Audit  Committee's  responsibility is to monitor and oversee these
processes on behalf of the Board of Directors.

         In this context,  the Audit  Committee has reviewed and discussed  with
management and the independent  auditors the audited financial  statements.  The
Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required
to be discussed by Statement on Auditing  Standards No. 61  (Communication  with
Audit  Committees).  In addition,  the Audit  Committee  has  received  from the
independent auditors the written disclosures required by Independence  Standards
Board No. 1 (Independence  Discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with
them their independence from the Company and its management.

         In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit
Committee  recommended  to the Board of  Directors  that the  audited  financial
statements  be included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the
fiscal year ended July 31,  2001,  for filing with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission. By recommending to the Board of Directors that the audited financial
statements be so included,  the Audit  Committee is not opining on the accuracy,
completeness  or  presentation  of the  information  contained  in  the  audited
financial statements.

                   ADOPTION OF 2001 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
                                    (Item 2)

         The Company's Board of Directors has recommended  that the Shareholders
approve the  adoption of the 2001  Employee  Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Option
Plan") as a means to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants who
render services which contribute to the success of the growth of the Company, by
adopting the  resolution  set forth below.  The  principal  features of the 2001
Option Plan are summarized  below.  The summary is qualified by reference to the
complete  text of the 2001 Option Plan, a copy of which may be obtained from the
Secretary of the Company.

         The  proposal  to approve  the 2001  Option  Plan will be approved if a
majority  of the  shares  voted,  in person  or by  proxy,  vote in favor of the
proposal.

General

         The 2001 Option Plan will permit the award of shares of Incentive Stock
Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options to directors,  eligible officers and key
employees  of the Company and its  subsidiaries  upon such terms as the Board of
Directors may determine,  consistent with the terms of



                                       17


the 2001 Option Plan. The 1999 Stock Option Plan currently in effect  authorizes
the  issuance of options to purchase up to  1,500,000  shares of Common Stock to
assist the Company in  recruiting  and retaining key  management  personnel.  At
October 31,  2001,  the market value of the  1,500,000  shares that are issuable
under the 1999 Stock Option Plan was $600,000.  The 2001 Option Plan  authorizes
the  issuance  of options to purchase up to an  additional  3,000,000  shares of
Common Stock.

         As of the  date  of this  Proxy  Statement,  options  to  purchase  all
1,500,000  shares have been granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan,  including
options to purchase  925,000  shares that were  granted to the  President of the
Company in July 2001.  Subject to shareholder  approval of the 2001 Option Plan,
options to purchase  1,075,000  shares have been granted to the President of the
Company,  and 1,925,000  shares remain available for grants and awards under the
2001 Option Plan.

Administration

         The 2001 Option Plan is  administered  by the Board of  Directors.  The
Board of Directors has the sole discretion,  subject to certain limitations,  to
interpret  the 2001 Option  Plan;  to select 2001 Option Plan  participants;  to
determine the type,  size,  terms and conditions of awards under the 2001 Option
Plan;  to authorize  the grant of such awards;  and to adopt,  amend and rescind
rules  relating  to the 2001 Option  Plan.  All  determinations  of the Board of
Directors are  conclusive.  All expenses of  administering  the 2001 Option Plan
will be borne by the Company.

Eligibility

         Any  director,  officer or employee of the Company or its  subsidiaries
who, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, has contributed significantly or
can be  expected  to  contribute  significantly  to the profits or growth of the
Company or a subsidiary is eligible to participate in the 2001 Option Plan.

Individual Agreements

         The  Board of  Directors  has  broad  authority  to fix the  terms  and
conditions of the individual  agreements with  participants.  All awards granted
under  the  2001  Option  Plan  are  intended  to  comply  with  the  applicable
requirements  of Rule 16b-3  promulgated  under the Exchange Act,  which exempts
grants  and  awards  under  qualifying   employee  benefit  plans  from  certain
"short-swing" profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act.

Shares Available

         Subject  to the  provisions  of the  2001  Option  Plan  providing  for
proportional  adjustments in the event of various changes in the  capitalization
of the Company,  no more than 3,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued Common
Stock may be issued pursuant to the 2001 Option Plan. Any shares of Common Stock
subject to an ISO or NQSO that are not issued  prior to the  expiration  of such
awards will again be available for award under the 2001 Option Plan.




                                       18


Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options ("Options")

         The Board of  Directors  may  authorize  the grant of either  ISOs,  as
defined under Section 422 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  or
NQSOs,  which  are  subject  to  certain  terms  and  conditions  including  the
following:  (1) the option  price per share will be  determined  by the Board of
Directors,  but for ISOs will not, in any event, be less than 100 percent of the
fair market  value of Common  Stock on the date that the Option is granted;  (2)
the term of the Option will be fixed by the Board of Directors,  but the maximum
period in which an ISO may be  exercised  shall not,  in any  event,  exceed ten
years  from  the  date  that  the  ISO  is  granted;  (3)  Options  will  not be
transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (4) the
purchase price of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option will be paid in
full to the Company at the time of the exercise of the Option in cash, or at the
discretion of the Board of Directors,  by surrender to the Company of previously
acquired  shares of Common Stock,  which will be valued at the fair market value
of such shares on the date preceding the date that the Option is exercised;  (5)
an Option may expire upon termination of employment or within a specified period
of time after  termination  of employment as provided by the Board of Directors;
(6) the  aggregate  fair market value  (determined  on the date of grant) of the
shares of Common Stock with respect to which ISOs are  exercisable for the first
time by any individual  during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000;  and
(7) the Board of  Directors  may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of
any Option to be exercised by a  participant  by payment in cash or Common Stock
of an amount determined in accordance with the 2001 Option Plan.

Amendment or Termination

         The Board of  Directors  may amend or  terminate  the 2001 Option Plan;
however,  no  amendment  may become  effective  until  shareholder  approval  is
obtained if the amendment (i) increases the aggregate  number of shares that may
be issued under the 2001 Option Plan, (ii) materially  increases the benefits to
participants under the 2001 Option Plan, or (iii) changes the requirements as to
eligibility  for  participation  in the 2001 Option Plan.  No  amendment  shall,
without a participant's consent, adversely affect any rights of such participant
under  any  Option  outstanding  at the time  that such  amendment  is made.  No
amendment  shall be made if it would  disqualify  the 2001  Option Plan from the
exemption provided by Rule 16b-3.

Duration of Plan

         No Option may be granted  under the 2001 Option  Plan after  October 1,
2011.  Options granted before October 1, 2011,  shall remain valid in accordance
with their terms.

Tax Status

         Under  current  federal  income tax laws,  the  principal  federal  tax
consequences  to  participants  and to the Company of the grant and  exercise of
ISOs and  NQSOs,  pursuant  to the  provisions  of the  2001  Option  Plan,  are
summarized below.

         Incentive  Stock  Options.  An employee  will  generally  not recognize
income  on  receipt  or  exercise  of an ISO so long  as he or she  has  been an
employee  of the Company or its  subsidiaries  from the date that the Option was
granted until three months before the date of exercise;  however,  the amount by
which the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise  exceeds



                                       19


the option  price is a  required  adjustment  for  purposes  of the  alternative
minimum tax  applicable to the employee.  If the employee holds the Common Stock
received  upon  exercise of the Option for one year after  exercise (and for two
years from the date of grant of the Option),  any difference  between the amount
realized  upon the  disposition  of the stock and the amount  paid for the stock
will be  treated as  long-term  capital  gain (or loss,  if  applicable)  to the
employee.  If the employee  exercises an ISO and satisfies  these holding period
requirements, the Company may not deduct any amount in connection with the ISO.

         In contrast,  if an employee  exercises an ISO but does not satisfy the
holding  period  requirements  with  respect to the  Common  Stock  acquired  on
exercise,  the employee  generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of
the  disposition  equal to the excess,  if any, of the fair market  value of the
Common Stock on the date of exercise  over the option  price;  and any excess of
the amount realized on the disposition over the fair market value on the date of
exercise will be taxed as long- or short-term capital gain (as applicable).  If,
however, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of disposition is
less than on the date of exercise,  the employee will recognize  ordinary income
equal only to the difference  between the amount realized on disposition and the
option price. In either event,  the Company will be entitled to deduct an amount
equal to the amount constituting  ordinary income to the employee in the year of
the premature disposition.

         Non-Qualified  Stock Options.  NQSOs granted under the 2001 Option Plan
are not taxable to a participant at grant but result in taxation at exercise, at
which time the individual  will recognize  ordinary income in an amount equal to
the  difference  between the option  exercise price and the fair market value of
the Common Stock on the exercise  date. The Company will be entitled to deduct a
corresponding  amount as a  business  expense  in the year that the  participant
recognizes this income.

         RESOLVED,  that the 2001  Employee  Stock  Option Plan be approved  and
adopted by the Company.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS  VOTE FOR THIS
PROPOSAL.

         The affirmative  vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is
required to ratify the adoption of the 2001 Employee Stock Option Plan.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

1.       PURPOSE

         This Natural Solutions  Corporation  2001Stock Option Plan ("the Plan")
is intended to promote the interests of the  Corporation  by providing  eligible
individuals who are responsible for the management, growth and financial success
of the Corporation or who otherwise render valuable  services to the Corporation
with the  opportunity  to acquire a  proprietary  interest,  or  increase  their
proprietary interest, in the Corporation and thereby encourage them to remain in
the service of the Corporation.

         Capitalized  terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in Paragraph 5.

2.       ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         (a) The Plan shall be  administered by the Board.  The Board,  however,
may at any time  appoint  a  committee  ("Committee")  of two (2) or more  Board
members and delegate to such Committee one or more of the administrative  powers
allocated to the Board  pursuant to the  provisions of the Plan.  Members of the
Committee  shall  serve for such period of time as the Board may  determine  and
shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time.  The Board may also at any
time  terminate  the  functions  of the  Committee  and  reassume all powers and
authority previously delegated to the Committee.

         (b) The Plan Administrator  (either the Board or the Committee,  to the
extent the Committee is at the time  responsible for the  administration  of the
Plan)  shall have full power and  authority  (subject to the  provisions  of the
Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the
proper plan administration and to make such determinations under, and issue such
interpretations  of,  the  Plan  and any  outstanding  option  grants  or  share
issuances  as it  may  deem  necessary  or  advisable.  Decisions  of  the  Plan
Administrator  shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in
the Plan or any outstanding option or share issuance.

3.       ELIGIBILITY

         (a) The persons  eligible to receive option grants pursuant to the Plan
(each an "Optionee") are limited to the following:

                  (1) key employees  (including  officers and  directors) of the
Corporation  (or its  parent  or  subsidiary  corporations,  if any) who  render
services which  contribute to the success and growth of the  Corporation (or any
parent or subsidiary  corporations)  or which may  reasonably be  anticipated to
contribute to the future success and growth of the Corporation (or any parent or
subsidiary corporations);

                  (2) the non-employee  members of the Board or the non-employee
members of the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary corporations; and

                  (3) those  consultants or independent  contractors who provide
valuable services to the Corporation (or any parent or subsidiary corporations).

         (b) The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, with
respect to the option grants made under the Plan, which eligible individuals are
to receive option grants, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant,
the  status  of  the  granted  option  as  either  an  Incentive   Option  or  a
Non-Statutory  Option,  the time or times at which  each  granted  option  is to
become  exercisable  and the  maximum  term for  which  the  option  may  remain
outstanding.

value (the  "Common  Stock").  The maximum  number of shares which may be issued
over the term of the Plan shall not exceed Three Million  (3,000,000)  shares of
Common  Stock.  The  total  number of shares  issuable  under the Plan  shall be
subject to  adjustment  from time to time in accordance  with the  provisions of
Section 4(c).

         (b)  Shares  subject  to (i) the  portion  of one or  more  outstanding
options  which  are  not  exercised  or  surrendered   prior  to  expiration  or
termination  and  (ii)  outstanding  options  canceled  in  accordance  with the
cancellation-regrant  provisions of Section 9 will be available  for  subsequent
option grants or stock  issuances  under the Plan. The shares which shall NOT be
available  for  subsequent  option  grants under the Plan include  shares issued
under the Option Grant Program which are repurchased by the Corporation.

         (c) In the event any change is made to the Common Stock  issuable under
the Plan by reason of any stock  dividend,  stock split,  combination of shares,
exchange of shares or other change  affecting the outstanding  Common Stock as a
class without receipt of  consideration,  then appropriate  adjustments shall be
made to (i) the aggregate  number and/or class of shares issuable under the Plan
and (ii) the  aggregate  number  and/or class of shares and the option price per
share in effect under each  outstanding  option in order to prevent the dilution
or enlargement of benefits  thereunder.  The adjustments  determined by the Plan
Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

         (d)  Common  Stock  issuable  under  the  Plan may be  subject  to such
restrictions  on transfer,  repurchase  rights or other  restrictions  as may be

         (a) If the Common Stock is at the time listed or admitted to trading on
any stock  exchange,  then the Fair Market  Value  shall be the closing  selling

determined  by the Plan  Administrator  to be the primary  market for the Common
Stock, as such price is officially  quoted in the composite tape of transactions
on such exchange.  If there is no reported sale of Common Stock on such exchange
on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling
price on the  exchange  on the last  preceding  date for  which  such  quotation
exists.

         (b) If the  Common  Stock  is not at the time  listed  or  admitted  to
trading on any stock exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter  market, the

no reported bid and asked prices (or closing selling price) for the Common Stock

trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the  over-the-counter  market, or if
the Plan Administrator determines that the valuation provisions of subparagraphs

corporations in such chain.

any  substantial  gainful  activity  by  reason  of any  medically  determinable

more Parent or  Subsidiary  corporations  by an individual in the capacity of an
Employee,  a  non-employee  member of the board of directors  or an  independent

agreement  evidencing the option grant or the purchase agreement  evidencing the
purchased option shares. An Optionee shall be deemed to remain in Service for so
long as such  individual  renders  services to the  Corporation or any Parent or
Subsidiary  corporation  on a periodic  basis in the capacity of an Employee,  a
non-employee  member of the board of directors or an  independent  consultant or

6.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

         Options  granted  pursuant to the Plan shall be authorized by action of
the Plan Administrator and may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator,  be
either Incentive Options or Non-Statutory  Options. Each granted option shall be
evidenced  by  one or  more  instruments  in  the  form  approved  by  the  Plan
Administrator;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that each such instrument shall comply with
and incorporate  the terms and conditions  specified  below.  In addition,  each
instrument  evidencing  an Incentive  Option shall be subject to the  applicable
provisions of Section 7.

         (a)      OPTION PRICE.

                  (1) The  option  price  per  share  shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator.

                  (2)  The  option  price  shall  become  immediately  due  upon
exercise of the option,  and subject to the  provisions  of Section 11, shall be
payable  in  cash  or  check  drawn  to  the  Corporation's  order.  Should  the
Corporation's  outstanding Common Stock be registered under Section 12(g) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended  (the "1934 Act") at the time the
option is exercised, then the option price may also be paid as follows:

                           (A) in shares of Common  Stock  held by the  optionee
for the  requisite  period  necessary  to  avoid a charge  to the  Corporation's
earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
Exercise Date; or

                           (B) through a special sale and  remittance  procedure
pursuant  to  which  the  Optionee  (i)  is  to  provide   irrevocable   written
instructions to a designated  brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the
purchased  shares and remit to the  Corporation,  out of the sale  proceeds,  an
amount  sufficient to cover the aggregate option price payable for the purchased
shares  plus all  applicable  Federal  and State  income  and  employment  taxes
required to be withheld by the  Corporation  by reason of such purchase and (ii)
concurrently  provides  written  directives  to the  Corporation  to deliver the
certificates  for the purchased  shares directly to such brokerage firm in order
to effect the sale transaction.

         (b) TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  Each option  granted  under the Plan
shall be  exercisable  at such time or times,  during such period,  and for such
number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan  Administrator and set forth
in the stock option agreement evidencing such option. However, no option granted
under the Plan  shall  have a term in excess  of ten (10)  years  from the grant
date.

         (c) TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                  (1) The Plan Administrator  shall have complete  discretion to
limit the period of time that an option  granted under the Plan may be exercised
should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason  (including  death
or  Permanent  Disability).  In no  event,  however,  shall  any such  option be
exercisable after the specified  expiration date of the option term. During such
limited period of exercisability,  the option may not be exercised for more than
that number of shares (if any) for which such option is  exercisable on the date
of the  Optionee's  cessation of Service.  Upon the expiration of such period or
(if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall  terminate
and cease to be exercisable.

                  (2)   Notwithstanding   subsection   (1)   above,   the   Plan
Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time the
option is granted or at the time the Optionee  ceases  Service,  to allow one or
more outstanding options held by the Optionee to be exercised, during the period
of exercisability  following the Optionee's  cessation of Service, not only with
respect to the number of shares for which the option is exercisable


                          2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN Page 4



at the time of the Optionee's  cessation of Service but also with respect to one
or more  subsequent  installments  of  purchasable  shares  for which the option
otherwise  would have  become  exercisable  had such  cessation  of Service  not
occurred.

                  (3)   Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  Plan  to  the
contrary, any options granted under this Plan shall terminate as of the date the
Optionee  ceases to be in the Service of the  Corporation  if the  Optionee  was
terminated  for  "cause"  or could  have been  terminated  for  "cause."  If the
Optionee has an employment or a consulting  agreement with the Corporation,  the
term  "cause"  shall  have the  meaning  given  that term in the  employment  or
consulting agreement.  If the Optionee does not have an employment or consulting
agreement with the  Corporation,  or if such employment or consulting  agreement
does not define the term "cause," the term "cause" shall mean: (A) misconduct or
dishonesty that materially adversely affects the Corporation,  including without
limitation (i) an act materially in conflict with the financial interests of the
Corporation,  (ii) an act that could damage the reputation or customer relations
of  the  Corporation,  (iii)  an act  that  could  subject  the  Corporation  to
liability,  (iv) an act constituting sexual harassment or other violation of the
civil rights of  coworkers,  (v) failure to obey any lawful  instruction  of the
Board or any officer of the  Corporation  and (vi)  failure to comply  with,  or
perform any duty required under, the terms of any confidentiality, inventions or
non-competition  agreement  the Optionee may have with the  Corporation,  or (B)
acts  constituting  the  unauthorized  disclosure of any of the trade secrets or
confidential  information  of  the  Corporation,  unfair  competition  with  the
Corporation or the  inducement of any customer of the  Corporation to breach any
contract  with the  Corporation.  The  right to  exercise  any  option  shall be
suspended  automatically  during the pendency of any investigation by the Board,
or its designee,  and/or any negotiations by the Board, or its designee, and the
Optionee, regarding any actual or alleged act or omission by the Optionee of the
type described in this paragraph.

         (d) SHAREHOLDER  RIGHTS. An Optionee shall have none of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the option until such Optionee
shall have exercised the option and paid the option price.

         (e)  TRANSFERABILITY.  Unless  otherwise  specified  in  the  Agreement
relating to an option, options granted hereunder may be transferable (i) by will
or  the  laws  of  descent  and  distribution,   (ii)  pursuant  to  beneficiary
designation  procedures  approved by the Company,  (iii)  pursuant to a domestic
relations  order,  (iv) to one or more family members of the optionee,  (v) to a
trust or trusts for the  exclusive  benefit of the  optionee  and/or one or more
family  members of the  optionee,  (vi) to a  partnership  in which the optionee
and/or one or more family members of the optionee are the only  partners,  (vii)
to a limited  liability  company in which the optionee and/or one or more family
members of the optionee are the only members, or (viii) to such other persons or
entities as may be specified in the agreement  relating to an option or approved
in  writing  by the  Committee  prior to such  transfer.  Except  to the  extent
permitted by the  preceding  sentence,  each option may be exercised  during the
optionee's lifetime only by the optionee or the optionee's legal  representative
or similar person. Except as permitted by the second preceding sentence,  (i) no
option  granted  hereunder  shall  be  sold,  transferred,   assigned,  pledged,
hypothecated,  encumbered or otherwise  disposed of (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process and (ii)
upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate,  encumber or
otherwise  dispose of any option granted  hereunder,  such option and all rights
thereunder shall immediately become null and void.


7.       INCENTIVE OPTIONS

         The terms and  conditions  specified  below shall be  applicable to all
Incentive Options granted under the Plan.  Incentive Options may only be granted
to individuals who are Employees.  Options which are specifically  designated as
Non-Statutory  Options  when issued  under the Plan shall NOT be subject to such
terms and conditions.

         (a)  OPTION  PRICE.  The  option  price per share of the  Common  Stock
subject  to an  Incentive  Option  shall in no event  be less  than one  hundred
percent  (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the grant
date; provided, if the individual to whom the option is granted is at the time a
Ten Percent Shareholder,  then the option price per share shall not be less than
one hundred ten percent  (110%) of the Fair Market  Value of the Common Stock on
the grant date.


                          2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN Page 5



         (b) DOLLAR  LIMITATION.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as
of the  respective  date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock for which one or
more options  granted to any Employee  under this Plan (or any other option plan
of the  Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary  corporation)  may for the first
time become  exercisable  as Incentive  Stock Options under the Federal tax laws
during any one  calendar  year shall not exceed the sum of one hundred  thousand
dollars  ($100,000).  To the extent the Employee  holds two or more such options
which  become  exercisable  for the first time in the same  calendar  year,  the
foregoing  limitation on the  exercisability  thereof as Incentive Options under
the  Federal  tax laws  shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such
options are granted.

         (c) OPTION TERM FOR TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER. No option granted to a Ten
Percent Shareholder shall have a term in excess of five (5) years from the grant
date.

         (d)  ACCELERATED  TERMINATION  OF OPTION  TERM.  The option  term shall
terminate  prior to the expiration  date  established by the Plan  Administrator
should any of the following provisions become applicable:

                  (1) Except as otherwise  provided in  subparagraph  (2) or (3)
below,  should an Optionee  cease to remain in Service while  his/her  option is
outstanding, then the period for exercising his/her option shall be reduced to a
three (3) month period  commencing  with the date of such  cessation of Service,
but in no  event  shall  such  option  be  exercisable  at any  time  after  the
expiration  date.  Upon the  expiration  of such  three (3) month  period or (if
earlier) upon the expiration  date,  the option shall  terminate and cease to be
outstanding.

                  (2)  Should  the   Optionee  die  while   his/her   option  is
outstanding,  his/her option shall cease to be exercisable,  upon the EARLIER of
(a) the  expiration  of the twelve (12) month period  measured  from the date of
Optionee's  death or (b) the expiration date of the option.  Upon the expiration
of such twelve (12) month period or (if earlier) upon the  expiration  date, the
option  shall  terminate  and cease to be  outstanding.

                  (3) Should the Optionee become Permanently  Disabled and cease
by reason thereof to remain in Service while his/her option is outstanding, then
the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date
of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise his/her option, but in no
event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the expiration  date of
the option.  Upon the expiration of such limited period of exercisability or (if
earlier) upon the expiration  date,  his/her option shall terminate and cease to
be outstanding.

                  (4) During the  limited  period of  exercisability  applicable
under  subparagraphs  (1),  (2),  or (3)  above,  the  Optionee's  option may be
exercised for any or all of the option shares in which the Optionee, at the time
of cessation  of Services,  is vested in  accordance  with the  exercise/vesting
provisions specified in his/her stock option documents.

         Except as modified by the  preceding  provisions of this Section 7, all
the provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to the Incentive  Options granted
hereunder.

         (e)  TRANSFERABILITY.  An Incentive  Option  shall not be  transferable
otherwise  than by  will or the  laws of  descent  and  distribution  and may be
exercisable  during the lifetime only by such Optionee or the  Optionee's  legal
representative or similar person.

8.       CORPORATE TRANSACTION

         (a) In the event of any Corporate Transaction,  each option outstanding
under  the  Plan  shall  terminate  upon  the  consummation  of  such  Corporate
Transaction  and  cease  to be  exercisable,  unless  assumed  by the  successor
corporation or parent thereof.

         (b) In  connection  with  any  such  Corporate  Transaction,  the  Plan
Administrator  may,  at  its  sole  discretion,   (i)  accelerate  each  or  any
outstanding  option  under  the  Plan so that  each or any  such  option  shall,
immediately   prior  to  the  specified   effective   date  for  such  Corporate
Transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares
of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised  for all
or any


                          2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN Page 6



portion of such  shares,  (ii)  arrange  for each or any  outstanding  option to
either to be assumed by the  successor  corporation  or parent  thereof or to be
replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the
successor  corporation  or parent  thereof,  (iii)  arrange for the option to be
replaced by a comparable  cash  incentive  program of the successor  corporation
based on the option  spread (the  amount by which the Fair  Market  Value of the
shares of Common  Stock at the time  subject  to the option  exceeds  the option
price  payable for such  shares) or (iv) take none of the actions  described  in
clauses  (i),  (ii) or (iii) above and allow the option to terminate as provided
in Section 2(a) above. The determination of comparability under clauses (ii) and
(iii)  above  shall be made by the Plan  Administrator,  and such  determination
shall be final and conclusive.

         (c) The exercisability as Incentive Stock Options under the Federal tax
laws of any options  accelerated  in connection  with the Corporate  Transaction
shall remain subject to the applicable dollar limitation of subsection 7(b).

         (d) If the  outstanding  options  under  the  Plan are  assumed  by the
successor  corporation (or parent  thereof) in the Corporate  Transaction or are
otherwise to continue in effect following such Corporate Transaction,  then each
such  assumed or  continuing  option  shall,  immediately  after such  Corporate
Transaction,  be  appropriately  adjusted to apply and pertain to the number and
class of  securities  or other  property  that would have been  issuable  to the
option holder, in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, had the option been
exercised   immediately  prior  to  such  Corporate   Transaction.   Appropriate
adjustments  shall also be made to the option price payable per share,  PROVIDED
the aggregate  option price payable for such  securities or other property shall
remain  the same.  In  addition,  the number  and class of  securities  or other
property  available for issuance  under the Plan following the  consummation  of
such Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted.

         (e) The grant of  options  under  this Plan  shall in no way affect the
right of the Corporation to adjust,  reclassify,  reorganize or otherwise change
its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate,  dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

9.       CANCELLATION AND NEW GRANT OF OPTIONS

         The Plan Administrator  shall have the authority to effect, at any time
and  from  time to  time,  with  the  consent  of the  affected  Optionees,  the
cancellation  of any or all  outstanding  options under the Plan and to grant in
substitution  therefor new options under the Plan covering the same or different
numbers  of shares  of Common  Stock  but  having,  in the case of an  Incentive
Option,  an option price per share not less than one hundred  percent  (100%) of
such Fair Market Value per share of Common  Stock on the new grant date,  or, in
the case of a Ten Percent Shareholder, not less than one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of such Fair Market Value.

10.      EXTENSION OF EXERCISE PERIOD

         The Plan  Administrator  shall have full power and  authority to extend
(either  at the time while the option is granted or at any time while the option
remains  outstanding)  the  period  of time for  which  the  option is to remain
exercisable  following  the  Optionee's  cessation of Service,  from the limited
period set forth in the option agreement,  to such greater period of time as the
Plan  Administrator may deem appropriate under the  circumstances.  In no event,
however, shall such option be exercisable after the specified expiration date of
the option term.

11.      LOANS

         (a) The Plan  Administrator  may  assist  any  Optionee  (including  an
Optionee  who is an officer or director of the  Corporation)  in the exercise of
one or more  options  granted to such  Optionee  under the Plan,  including  the
satisfaction  of any Federal and State  income and  employment  tax  obligations
arising therefrom, by:

                  (1)  authorizing  the extension of a loan from the Corporation
to such Optionee, or


                          2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN Page 7



                  (2)  permitting  the  Optionee to pay the option price for the
purchased Common Stock in installments over a period of years.

         (b) The terms of any loan or installment  method of payment  (including
the  interest  rate and terms of  repayment)  shall be  established  by the Plan
Administrator  in its sole  discretion.  Loans or  installment  payments  may be
granted  with or without  security or  collateral;  however,  any loan made to a
consultant or other non-employee director must be secured by property other than
the  purchased  shares  of Common  Stock.  In all  events,  the  maximum  credit
available  to each may not  exceed  the SUM of (i) the  aggregate  option  price
payable for the  purchased  shares less the  aggregate par value for such shares
plus (ii) any Federal and State income and employment tax liability  incurred by
the Optionee in connection with such exercise.

         (c) The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute  discretion,  determine
that one or more loans extended under the financial  assistance program shall be
subject to  forgiveness  by the  Corporation in whole or in part upon such terms
and conditions the Board in its discretion deems appropriate.

12.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS

         (a) The Board shall have complete and exclusive  power and authority to
amend or modify the Plan in any or all  respects  whatsoever.  However,  no such
amendment or modification  shall adversely  affect the rights and obligations of
an Optionee with respect to options at the time outstanding  under the Plan, nor
adversely  affect the rights of any  Participant  with  respect to Common  Stock
issued under the Plan prior to such action, unless the Optionee consents to such
amendment.  In  addition,  the Board  shall not,  without  the  approval  of the
Corporation's  shareholders,  amend  the  Plan to (i)  materially  increase  the
maximum  number  of  shares  issuable  under the Plan  (except  for  permissible
adjustments under Section 4(c)), (ii) materially  increase the benefits accruing
to  individuals  who  participate  in the Plan, or (iii)  materially  modify the
eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan.

         (b) Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the
Plan which are in excess of the number of shares  then  available  for  issuance
under the Plan,  provided any excess shares  actually  issued under the Plan are
held in escrow  until there is  obtained  shareholder  approval of an  amendment
sufficiently  increasing  the  number of shares of Common  Stock  available  for
issuance  under the Plan. If such  shareholder  approval is not obtained  within
twelve (12) months after the date the initial  excess  issuances are made,  then
(i) any unexercised  options  representing such excess shall terminate and cease
to be  exercisable  and  (ii)  the  Corporation  shall  promptly  refund  to the
Optionees  the option price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and
held in escrow,  together  with interest (at the  applicable  Short Term Federal
Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow.

13.      EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

         (a) The Plan shall become  effective when adopted by the Board,  but no
option  granted  under the Plan shall become  exercisable,  unless and until the
Plan  shall  have  been  approved  by the  Corporation's  shareholders.  If such
shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date of
the Board's adoption of the Plan, then all options  previously granted under the
Plan shall terminate,  and no further options shall be granted.  Subject to such
limitation,  the Plan Administrator may grant options under the Plan at any time
after the effective date and before the date fixed herein for termination of the
Plan.

         (b) The Plan shall  terminate  upon the  EARLIER of (i) ten years after
the  adoption  of the Plan or (ii) the date on which all  shares  available  for
issuance under the Plan have been issued or canceled pursuant to the exercise or
surrender  of options  granted  under the Plan.  If the date of  termination  is
determined  under  clause (i) above,  then no options  outstanding  on such date
under the Plan  shall be  affected  by the  termination  of the  Plan,  and such
securities shall thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with
the provisions of the stock option agreements evidencing such Incentive Options.

         Any cash  proceeds  received by the  Corporation  from the  issuance of
shares  of  Common  Stock  under the Plan  shall be used for  general  corporate
purposes.

15.      WITHHOLDING

         The  Corporation's  obligation  to deliver  shares upon the exercise or
surrender  of any  options  granted  under  the  Plan  shall be  subject  to the
satisfaction  of all applicable  Federal,  State and local income and employment
tax withholding requirements.

16.      REGULATORY APPROVALS

         The  implementation  of the Plan, the granting of any options under the
Plan,  and the  issuance of Common  Stock upon the  exercise or surrender of the
option grants made hereunder shall be subject to the  Corporation's  procurement
of  all  approvals  and  permits  required  by  regulatory   authorities  having
jurisdiction  over the Plan, the options  granted under it, and the Common Stock
issued pursuant to it.
