Plan (the "2001 Stock Option Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors and
approved by the Company's stockholders in February, 2001. Pursuant to the terms
of the 1999 Stock Option Plan, no further awards will be made under the 1999
Stock Option Plan. (The 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Stock Option Plan

directors and consultants to the Company could be given an opportunity to
purchase stock in the Company.

Under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, 22,500 shares were initially reserved
for issuance. On September 10, 2001, the board of directors adopted, and the
shareholders subsequently approved, an amendment to the 1999 Stock Option Plan
pursuant to which the shares reserved for issuance was increased from 2,250,000
shares to 8,000,000 shares provided that no award may be issued that would bring
the total of all outstanding plan shares to more than 20% of the total number of
the shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding.

Under the 2001 Stock Option Plan, the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock that may be issued or transferred is 5,000,000, provided that no
award may be issued that would bring the total number of all outstanding plan
shares to more than 20% of the total number of the shares of Common Stock at the
time outstanding.

options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights in tandem with
stock options or freestanding, restricted stock grants and restored grants
(collectively, "Grants") as approved by the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof (the "Committee"). Incentive stock options granted under the Stock
Option Plans are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Non-qualified stock options granted under the Stock Option Plans are
intended not to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code.

following persons: (i) executive officers, officers and directors (including
advisory and other special directors) of the Company or an Affiliated
Corporation (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Plans); (ii) full-time

determine when and to which eligible participants a plan shares are to be
granted and the number of such shares to be awarded to each such participant.. A
grant may be made for cash, property, services rendered or other form of payment
constituting lawful consideration under applicable law. Plan shares awarded
other than for services rendered shall be sold at not less than the fair value
thereof on the date of grant. No grant will be made if, in the judgment of the
committee or the board of directors, as the case may be, such a grant would
constitute a public distribution within the meaning the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Or the rules or regulation promulgated thereunder.

The Stock Option Plans terminate on the tenth anniversary of their
respective effective dates unless terminated earlier or extended by the board of
directors.
