Class B Directors receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the
shares entitled to be voted for them shall be elected as Class A Directors and
Class B Directors, respectively. Votes withheld from any director are counted
for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but have no
legal effect under California law. While there is no definitive statutory or
case law authority in California as to the proper treatment of abstentions and

whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. In the absence of precedent
to the contrary, the Company intends so to treat them.

(2)   Under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, a
      holder of Class B Common Stock is deemed to own beneficially the same
      number of shares of Class A Common Stock since the holder has the right,
      subject to the terms of the Stock Buy-Sell Agreement among the Company and
      the holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, to convert
      his Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the same
      Rule, for purposes of calculating the percentage of the outstanding shares
      of Class A Common Stock owned by each named shareholder, the shares of
      Class A Common Stock which a holder of Class B Common Stock may acquire by
      conversion are considered outstanding only with respect to that holder. As
      a result, the stated percentages of ownership of the Class A Common Stock
      do not reflect the beneficial ownership of the Class A Common Stock which
      is actually outstanding as of September 16, 2002.

Agreement Among Holders of Class B Common Stock

         The holders of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and the
Company are parties to a Stock Buy-Sell Agreement (the "Buy-Sell Agreement").
Pursuant to the Buy-Sell Agreement, no holder of shares of Class B Common Stock
may, with limited exceptions, transfer Class B Common Stock or convert Class B
Common Stock into Class A Common Stock without first offering such stock to the
Company and then to the other parties to the Buy-Sell Agreement. The Buy-Sell
Agreement applies to a broad range of transfers and dispositions other than (i)
certain lifetime or testamentary transfers to issue of Robert and Marjorie
Mondavi, (ii) transfers to or in trust for charitable institutions or (iii)

(1)   Includes  perquisites,  none of which individually  exceeded 25% of total
      perquisites for the Named Executive Officer, except as noted.
(2)   Individual perquisites do not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of
      salary and bonus.
(3)   Includes $94,500 in life insurance benefits.
(4)   Includes $55,995 in life insurance benefits.
(5)   Includes $28,080 in life insurance benefits and $12,700 in automobile
      allowance.
(6)   The Company has a deferred executive incentive compensation plan (the
      "E.I.C.P.") in which certain key officers participate. Under the E.I.C.P.,
      the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may make annual
      awards of units to senior management plan participants. Each unit earns a
      percentage of plan income, based on the Company's pre-tax earnings as
      calculated on a FIFO basis, for a period of five years. The percentage of
      plan income earned varies from 0.01% to 0.014%. Unit earnings vest at the
      rate of 20% per year over the same five-year period. At the end of five
      years, a portion of the earnings is distributed to the participant and any
      balance is deferred and earns interest at the Company's average borrowing
      rate until distribution under the terms of the E.I.C.P. The last units
      awarded under the plan vested in fiscal 1998 and amounts distributed at
      that time to the named executive officers were reported here. No
      distributions from the E.I.C.P. were made to the named executive officers
      in fiscal 2000, 2001 or 2002. For units granted prior to fiscal 1989, up
      to 30% of the earnings were initially distributed to the participant. For
      units granted during and after fiscal 1989, the participant may elect in
      the year of grant to receive up to 100% of earnings in the initial
      distribution or to defer any portion of such amount. Upon termination of
      employment due to death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination
      without cause, the participant's units become fully vested and the
      participant is entitled to receive all earnings accumulated on units
      through the end of the fiscal year in which the termination occurs. Upon
      termination of employment for cause or certain voluntary terminations, the
      participant is entitled to receive all earnings accumulated on units
      through the end of the fiscal year prior to the year the termination
      occurs. The Company has the option to distribute plan balances over a
      ten-year period.
(7)   Includes the Company's contribution on behalf of the Named Executive
      Officers to the Company's defined contribution retirement plan and
      supplemental executive retirement plan. Retirement plan contributions in
      fiscal 2002 were $41,189 for R. Michael Mondavi; $32,518 for Timothy J.
      Mondavi; $36,411 for Gregory M. Evans; and $24,101 for Henry J. Salvo, Jr.

(1) All options in this table relate to shares of Class A Common Stock.

(2)  Potential realizable value is based on an assumption that the stock price
     appreciates at the annual rate shown (compounded annually) from the date of
     grant until the end of the option term (ten years). These numbers are
     calculated based on the requirements promulgated by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission and do not reflect the Company's estimate of future
     stock price growth. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are
     dependent on the Company's future financial performance, overall market
     conditions and the optionee's continued employment during the prescribed
     vesting period.

Board Compensation

         Directors who are not employed by the Company are paid a $12,000 annual
retainer, $1,000 for each Board meeting attended and $500 for each committee
meeting attended. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for expenses
incurred in attending meetings. Upon election to the Board, each director is
granted options to purchase that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal
to $150,000 divided by the closing price of the stock reported on NASDAQ on the
date the director joins the Board. The Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan
also provides for additional annual grants to the outside directors of 2,000
options each year. The plan authorizes the Board of Directors to award options
to an individual director or directors as a financial incentive. On July 11,
2001, the Board of Directors awarded 2,500 options to Mr. Greer and 2,500
options to Mr. Greener. The options, which vested immediately, are exercisable
at $41.07 per share, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on NASDAQ on
the date of grant. By terms of the award Messrs. Greer and Greener will each
receive, at the same $41.07 exercise price, 2,500 additional options if the
Company's return on invested capital (ROIC) for its fiscal year ended June 30,
2004 is 10.7% per annum or better; 2,500 additional options if that figure is
11.2% or better; and 2,500 additional options if that figure is 11.7% or better.

Report of the Compensation Committee

General

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the
Company's executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is composed
entirely of directors who are not employees of the Company, and who are
independent under applicable NASD rules.

         The objective of the Company's executive compensation program is to
develop and maintain executive reward programs which (i) contribute to the
enhancement of shareholder value, (ii) are competitive with the pay practices of
other industry-leading companies and (iii) attract, motivate and retain key
executives who are critical to the long-term success of the Company. As
discussed in detail below, the Company's executive compensation program consists
of both fixed (base salary) and variable (incentive) compensation elements.
Variable compensation consists of annual cash incentives, stock option grants
and other stock-based awards under the Equity Plan and unit awards under the
Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the "E.I.C.P."). These elements
are designed to operate on an integrated basis and together comprise total
compensation value.

         The Compensation Committee reviews executive compensation in light of
the Company's performance during the fiscal year and compensation data at
companies that are considered comparable. In reviewing the Company's performance
during fiscal 2002, the Compensation Committee considered a variety of factors.
The Company and the premium wine industry felt the effects of the recession and
a worldwide oversupply of wine. Net revenues were down 8% from fiscal 2001,
reflecting a decline in shipments and competitive pressure in the super-premium
segment. Reported net income for fiscal 2002 was $25.5 million, compared to
$43.3 million for fiscal 2001. The Company recorded significant charges to
restructure its role at Disney's California Adventure and to write down excess
inventories. At the same time it tightened its organization around the core
brands and took significant steps to improve its return on capital and
streamline its operations. In reviewing Company performance, the Compensation
Committee considered these factors as a whole without assigning specific weights
to particular factors.



                                       11


Base Salary

         Base salary levels for the Company's executives are determined by the
Compensation Committee based on factors such as individual performance (e.g.
leadership, level of responsibility, management skills and industry activities),
Company performance (as discussed above) and competitive pay practices. The base
salary level for Mr. Robert Mondavi is established by his employment agreement
described below.

         Base compensation for Mr. Evans, the Chief Executive Officer, was
reviewed by the Compensation Committee in the context of compensation packages
awarded to senior executive officers at comparable companies selected by an
outside compensation consultant. The companies included in the comparison are
not the same as the companies included in the peer group index in the
performance graph included elsewhere herein. The Compensation Committee believes
that the Company's most direct competitors for executive talent in the San
Francisco Bay Area are not necessarily the same companies to which the Company
would be compared for stock performance purposes. The Chief Executive Officer's
base salary was reviewed against the 75th percentile of the comparative data.

Annual Cash Incentives

         The annual cash incentive is designed to provide a short-term
(one-year) incentive to executives, is based on the Company meeting certain
predetermined levels of pre-tax operating income, and is allocated among the
executives based on the Committee's assessment of the performance of each
executive, following consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. In addition,
cash incentive compensation may be granted by the Committee to certain
executives based on their performance of individual goals established in advance
by the Committee. These individual goals may include objective and subjective
factors, such as leadership and management skills, successful acquisitions or
financings and improved performance of assets. Employee bonuses were eliminated
for fiscal 2002 during the first fiscal quarter and therefore no cash bonuses
were paid to the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2002.

Stock Options

         Stock options are designed to provide long-term (ten-year) incentives
and rewards tied to the price of the Company's Class A Common Stock. Given the
fluctuations of the stock market, stock price performance and financial
performance are not always consistent. The Compensation Committee believes that
stock options, which provide value to participants only when the Company's
shareholders benefit from stock price appreciation, are an important component
of the Company's executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee has
not established any target level of ownership of Company Class A Common Stock by
the Company's executives. However, retention of shares of Company stock by
executives is encouraged.

E.I.C.P.

         Like the 1993 Equity Incentive Plan, the E.I.C.P. was designed to
provide long-term (five-year) incentives and rewards tied to Company
performance. Under the E.I.C.P., the Compensation Committee made annual awards
of units to executive officers which earned a percentage of plan income based on
the Company's pre-tax net income, as more fully described in footnote 9 to the
Summary Compensation Table. The use of the E.I.C.P. as a regular element of
compensation for executive officers was discontinued upon adoption of the 1993
Equity Incentive Plan and no awards have been made since that time. However,
pursuant to the terms of the E.I.C.P., outstanding units will continue to accrue
interest in future years.



                                       12


IRC Section 162(m)

         Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation
paid to certain covered employees in a taxable year to the extent such
compensation exceeds $1 million. Certain types of compensation, however,
including "performance-based compensation," are disregarded for purposes of the
deduction limitation. Awards of options and other stock-based incentives under
the Equity Plan are intended by the Compensation Committee to qualify for the
exclusion for performance-based compensation.

         The foregoing report is given by the members of the Compensation
Committee, namely:

Anthony Greener            Bartlett R. Rhoades            John M. Thompson

Performance Graph

         The line graph below compares the cumulative total return to holders of
the Company's Common Stock in the period from June 30, 1997 to June 30, 2002,
with the cumulative total return in the same period on (i) the NASDAQ Stock
Market Index (U.S.) and (ii) two peer group indices comprised of beverage
alcohol companies whose returns have been weighted based on market
capitalization as of June 30, 2002. The "old" peer group index includes Chalone
Wine Group Ltd., Constellation Brands, Aldolph Coors Company, Anheuser-Bush
Companies, Inc., Brown-Forman Corporation and Foster's Group Ltd. The "New" peer
group index includes Chalone Wine Group, Ltd., Constellation Brands, Inc.,
Brown-Forman Corporation , Diageo PLC, Allied Domecq PLC, Pernod-Ricard SA, BRL
Hardy Ltd., Vina Concha y Toro SA and Foster's Group Ltd. The graph assumes an
investment of $100.00 on June 30, 1997 in the Company and in the comparison
indices. "Total return," for purposes of the graph, assumes reinvestment of all
dividends.











                                       13


         The information contained in the performance graph shall not be deemed
to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the SEC, nor shall such
information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act"), except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by
reference into such filing.

Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

         The Company's executive officers, directors and
greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required under Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
SEC. Copies of those reports must also be furnished to the Company.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Company believes that during fiscal 2002 all
filing requirements applicable to the Company's officers, directors and
greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners under Section 16(a) of the Exchange
Act were complied with in a timely manner, with the following exceptions. The
year-end Form 5's for R. Michael Mondavi, Marcia Mondavi Borger and Timothy J.
Mondavi reporting gifts of 275 shares each from their father, Robert G. Mondavi,
were filed late, although the gifts had earlier been timely reported by Robert
G. Mondavi. One Form 4 was filed late by Timothy J. Mondavi to report the
conversion of 15,000 shares from Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock.

Employment Agreement

         In February 1993, Robert Mondavi entered into an agreement with the
Company which replaced his Personal Services Agreement executed in 1979. The
current agreement provides for a fixed annual salary of up to $500,000.

Certain Transactions

         Frank Farella is a partner in the law firm of Farella, Braun & Martel
which provides certain legal services to the Company. Pursuant to a written
agreement, the Company also buys wine grapes from Farella-Park Vineyards, a Napa
Valley vineyard owner, in which Mr. Farella holds an interest. The Company paid
Farella-Park Vineyards $128,000 for grapes during the fiscal year ended June 30,
2002.

         In November, 1998 Michael Mondavi bought approximately 18 plantable
acres of land in Napa Valley from an unaffiliated third party. He has hired
Robert Mondavi Winery to develop and farm the land as vineyards, for which he
pays the winery a fee equal to $250 per plantable acre plus its costs of farm
labor, materials and equipment. From time to time Mr. Mondavi may sell grapes
from the vineyard to the Company at prevailing market prices.

         It is the Company's current policy that all transactions by the Company
with its officers, directors, 5% shareholders and their affiliates will be
entered into only if such transactions are approved by a majority of the
disinterested directors, are on terms no less favorable to the Company than
could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and are reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.


                     APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                              (Proposal 2 on Proxy)

         The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as independent
accountants for the Company since fiscal 1978 and has been appointed by the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors as the Company's independent
accountants for the fiscal year 2003, subject to ratification by the
shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP are expected to be available at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate
questions from shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if
they wish.



                                       14


Audit Fees

         PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed the Company an aggregate of $214,000
for its professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual
financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and its reviews of
the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for that fiscal year.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees

         PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was not engaged to provide financial
information system design and implementation services to the Company for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

All other fees

         PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed the Company an aggregate of $160,000
for its services, other than those described in the two preceding items, for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

         The Audit Committee has determined that Pricewaterhouse Coopers LLP's
provision of the services described above is compatible with maintaining its
independence.

Recommendation

         The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR
ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's
independent accountants.


                            PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE
                           1993 EQUITY INCENTIVE Plan
                              (Proposal 3 on Proxy)

         Shareholders are asked to approve an amendment to the 1993 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan"), adopted by the Board of Directors on
September 16, 2002, which extends the term of the plan by ten years to February
25, 2013. A copy of the Equity Plan with the proposed amendment is appended to
this Proxy Statement. The summary below is qualified by reference to the plan
document.

Purpose

         The purpose of the Equity Plan is to afford selected key employees the
opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company, so as to attract and
retain highly qualified individuals for positions of substantial responsibility,
to provide them with additional incentives in line with the interests of
shareholders and thereby to promote the success of the Company. At its adoption
in February 1993 the plan had a term of ten years, the maximum allowable under
applicable law. The proposed amendment would extend the term of the plan,
without any other changes, for an additional ten years. No additional shares
will at this time be reserved for issuance pursuant to the plan than have
already been reserved with prior approval of the shareholders.




                                       15




Shares Available under Plans

         3,185,294 shares of Class A Common Stock have been reserved for
issuance under the Equity Plan. To date options covering a total of 3,087,958
shares have been granted, 265,916 options have been forfeited, and 363,252
options remain available for grant (plus any options which may be forfeited and
thus become available again for future grants).

Administration of and Eligibility for Equity Plan

         The Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. It provides that options and other forms of stock-based
awards may be granted to key employees (including officers and directors who are
also employees) and consultants to the Company or any parent or subsidiary.
Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. The Compensation
Committee selects qualified participants and determines the amount of the award
and pertinent terms and restrictions applicable to each participant. In making
such determination, there is taken into account the duties and responsibilities
of the employee or consultant, the value of his or her services, his or her
present and potential contribution to the success of the Company and other
relevant factors. The plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance grants, stock bonuses and awards
of restricted stock.

Terms of Options Under Equity Plan

         Options granted under the Equity Plan are evidenced by a written Option
Agreement between the Company and the optionee. The Compensation Committee may
determine the specific terms of each Option Agreement within the limits set
forth in the Equity Plan. Options are designated at the time of grant as
incentive stock options or non-statutory options. Options granted by the Company
are typically subject to the following terms and conditions:

         (a) Exercise of the Option. Options generally vest at the rate of 1.67%
per month over a 60 month period and terminate ten years after the date of the
grant. An option is exercised by giving written notice of exercise to the
Company, specifying the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock to be
purchased and tendering payment of the purchase price to the Company. Payment
for shares issued upon exercise of an option may be by cash, or, in the
discretion of the Compensation Committee, by (i) delivery to the Company of
other Class A Common Stock, (ii) a deferred payment plan with interest payable
at least annually, (iii) various cashless exercise methods, or (iv) any other
form of legal consideration that is acceptable to the Committee. Options expire
ten years after the date of grant.

         (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of any incentive stock option
granted under the Equity Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value per
share at the time of grant. The exercise price of any non-statutory stock option
granted under the Equity Plan must be at least 50% of the fair market value per
share at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee may, with the consent of
holders of outstanding options, reprice or grant new options in substitution for
outstanding options.

         (c) Termination of Employment. If an optionee's employment or
consulting relationship with the Company is terminated, options which have
vested must generally be exercised within six months after termination. In case
of an optionee's death, disability or retirement, the Compensation Committee, in
its discretion, may extend the option exercise period.

         (d) Transferability. Except as may be allowed by the Compensation
Committee in specific cases, options may not be sold, pledged, assigned or
otherwise disposed of other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by
such optionee.



                                       16


Stock Appreciation Rights

         A stock appreciation right or SAR is a right to receive a payment, in
cash, shares of stock or a combination of cash and stock, equal to the excess of
the market price at time of exercise of a specified number of shares over the
exercise price of the SAR. The Equity Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee
to grant SAR's either separately or in tandem with options.

Performance Grants

         A performance grant is a grant, subject to the attainment of specified
performance goals, of shares of stock or of the right to receive shares of stock
(or their cash equivalent or a combination of both) in the future. The Equity
Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to fix the terms of each performance
grant, including the performance goals on whose attainment the value of the
grant is conditioned. Performance goals may include, among other things, return
on assets, operating ratios, cash flow, shareholder return, revenue growth, net
income, earnings per share, debt reduction, return on investment, revenue and
attainment of budgets. The earned portion of a performance grant may be paid out
in restricted or non-restricted shares, cash or a combination of shares and cash
in the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Stock Bonuses and Restricted Stock

         The Equity Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to award shares
as a stock bonus, as well as to make shares available to a participant for
purchase, subject to vesting requirements or other restrictions as the
Compensation Committee may impose. Stock may be awarded or sold in consideration
of past services rendered to the Company. Awards may provide that shares will be
issued at the time of award, subject to forfeiture if the restrictions are not
satisfied, or that shares will be issued only upon fulfillment or expiration of
the restrictions.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan

         The Board may amend or terminate the Equity Plan, except that such
termination may not affect options previously granted nor may any amendment make
any change in an option previously granted, which adversely affects the rights
of any participant. No amendment may be made to the Equity Plan without prior
approval of the shareholders to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Unless the proposed amendment is
approved, the Equity Plan will expire on February 25, 2003. Expiration of the
plan would not affect options or other stock rights granted before that time.

Restrictions on Resale

         Certain officers and directors of the Company may be deemed to be
"affiliates" of the Company as that term is defined under the Securities Act of
1933. Even though the sale of Class A Common Stock by the Company to affiliates
and other participants under the Equity Plan is registered under the Securities
Act, such shares may only be reoffered or resold by affiliates pursuant to an
effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Participants
who are not affiliates may resell stock acquired under the Equity Plan without
further registration and free of the restrictions of Rule 144. Executive
officers and directors who participate in the Equity Plan may also be subject to
the prohibition on short-swing profits contained in Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, although the Equity Plan is designed to meet
the exemption created by Rule 16 b-3.




                                       17




Tax Consequences of Options

         Incentive Stock Options

         (a) General Rules. If an option granted under the Equity Plan is
treated as an incentive stock option (an "ISO") under the Code, the optionee
will recognize no income upon grant of the option, and will recognize no income
upon exercise of the option unless the alternative minimum tax rules apply. See
"Alternative Minimum Tax" below. The Company will not be entitled to a deduction
either at the time of the option grant or upon exercise of the option.

         (b) Holding Periods. Upon the sale of the shares at least two years
after the grant of an ISO and one year after exercise of an ISO (the "statutory
holding periods"), any gain will be taxed to the optionee as either mid-term or
long-term capital gain. If the statutory holding periods are not satisfied
(i.e., the optionee makes a "disqualifying disposition"), the optionee will
recognize compensation income equal to the difference between the exercise price
and the lower of (i) the fair market value of the stock at the date of the
option exercise or (ii) the sale price of the stock, and the Company will be
entitled to a deduction in the same amount. Any additional gain or loss
recognized on a disqualifying disposition of the shares will be characterized as
capital gain or loss.

                  Different rules may apply if shares are purchased by an
optionee who is subject to the short-swing prohibitions of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the optionee subsequently disposes of such
shares prior to the expiration of statutory holding periods. Vested ISO's which
are not exercised within ninety days after the optionee's termination of
employment automatically become non-statutory options and are taxed in the
manner described below.

         (c) Surrendered Shares. If shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock
which were acquired on exercise of an ISO are surrendered ("surrendered shares")
in connection with the exercise of another ISO within the statutory holding
periods, the exchange will be treated as a "disqualifying disposition" of such
surrendered shares and the excess of the fair market value of such shares on the
date they were purchased over the purchase price will be recognized by the
optionee as compensation income, unless the fair market value of the surrendered
shares declined in value since the shares were purchased. In that event, the
optionee's compensation income will be limited to the amount (if any) by which
the fair market value of the surrendered shares at the date of the exchange
exceeds the option price paid for such surrendered shares. Any excess of the
fair market value of the surrendered shares at the date the shares are
surrendered over the purchase price paid for such surrendered shares, which is
not recognized as compensation income as described above, will not be recognized
as taxable gain at the time of the exchange. The Company will be allowed a
deduction in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. If
the surrender of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in connection with
the exercise of an ISO does not result in a disqualifying disposition of such
surrendered shares, the optionee will not recognize taxable income at the time
of such option exercise (unless the alternative minimum tax rules apply), and
the Company will not be allowed a deduction.

         (d) Federal Estate Taxes. Upon the death of an optionee who has not
exercised an ISO, the value of such option (determined under applicable Treasury
regulations) will be includable in the optionee's estate for federal estate tax
purposes. Upon the exercise of such option, the holder's basis in the option
shares will include the value of the option included in the estate plus the
price paid for the option shares. Different rules apply if the option shares are
sold before the expiration of the one-year and two-year holding periods
described above.



                                       18


         Non-statutory Options

         (a) General Rules. An optionee will not recognize any taxable income at
the time he is granted a non-statutory option. Upon exercise of the option, the
optionee will generally recognize compensation income for federal tax purposes
measured by the excess, if any, of the then fair market value of the shares over
the exercise price. Taxation may be deferred for a six-month period after
exercise (unless a Section 83(b) election is filed with the Internal Revenue
Service within 30 days after the date of exercise) when shares are purchased by
an optionee who is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

                  Upon the surrender of shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock in connection with the exercise of a non-statutory stock option, the
optionee will recognize compensation income as described above. A number of the
acquired shares, equal in number to the surrendered shares, will have a basis
equal to the optionee's basis in the surrendered shares. Any additional shares
acquired in the exchange will have a zero basis, increased by any compensation
income recognized with respect to the exercise of the non-statutory option.

                  The Company will be entitled to a tax deduction in the amount
and generally at the time that the Optionee recognizes ordinary income with
respect to shares acquired upon exercise of a non-statutory option.

         (b) Withholding. The compensation income recognized by an optionee who
is also an employee or former employee will be treated as wages and will be
subject to income tax and employment tax withholding by the Company out of the
current compensation paid to the optionee. If such current compensation is
insufficient to pay the withholding tax, the optionee will be required to make
direct payment to the Company for the tax liability.

         (c) Gain or Loss on Sale. Upon a resale of such shares by the optionee,
any difference between the sales price and the fair market value of the shares
on the date of exercise of the non-statutory option will be treated as capital
gain or loss.

         (d) Federal Estate Tax. Upon the death of an optionee who has not
exercised his or her non-statutory option, the value of such option (determined
under applicable Treasury regulations) will be includable in the optionee's
estate for federal estate tax purposes. Upon the exercise of such option, the
holder will recognize compensation income as described above, and will be
allowed a deduction based upon any estate tax paid with respect to the value of
such option.

         Alternative Minimum Tax

         The exercise of an ISO may subject the optionee to the alternative
minimum tax ("AMT") under Section 55 of the Code. The AMT is calculated by
applying a tax rate of 26% on the first $175,000 in excess of the exemption
amount and 28% on the excess over $175,000. Alternative minimum taxable income
is equal to (i) taxable income adjusted for certain items, plus (ii) items of
tax preference, less (iii) an exclusion of $45,000 for joint returns and $33,750
for individual returns. These exclusion amounts are reduced by an amount equal
to 25% of the amount by which the alternative minimum taxable income exceeds
$150,000 and $112,500, respectively.

         In computing alternative minimum taxable income, shares purchased upon
exercise of an ISO are treated as if they had been acquired by the optionee
pursuant to a non-statutory option. This may be particularly significant with
respect to optionees who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. See
"Non-statutory Options." Under certain circumstances, an optionee may affect the
timing and measurement of AMT by filing an election with the Internal Revenue
Service under Section 83(b) within thirty days after the date of exercise of an
ISO. Therefore, an optionee should consult his own tax advisor prior to
exercising an ISO concerning the advisability of filing an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code.



                                       19


Other Equity Plan Benefits

         A participant granted a Stock Appreciation Right or SAR will have no
taxable income upon the grant, but will recognize taxable income upon the
exercise of the SAR measured by the difference between the market value of the
underlying Class A Common Stock at exercise and the exercise price. The Company
will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at that time. With respect to
Performance Grants, Stock Bonuses and Restricted Stock, a participant will
generally include as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of the
Class A Common Stock received over any applicable exercise price at the time
that the stock becomes substantially vested. The Company will be entitled to a
corresponding tax deduction at that time.

Provisions Relating to Section 162(m) of the Code

         Section 162(m), as added to the Code in 1993, denies a deduction to any
publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain covered employees in
a taxable year to the extent such compensation exceeds $1 million. It is
possible that compensation attributable to awards under the Equity Plan, when
combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered employee
from the Company, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular
year. Certain types of compensation, however, including so-called
"performance-based compensation," are disregarded for purposes of the deduction
limitation. Compensation attributable to stock options and SARs having an
exercise price not less than the fair market value of the Company's Class A
Common Stock on the grant date should qualify as performance-based compensation
under the Equity Plan. Compensation attributable to Performance Grants has also
been structured to qualify for the performance-based compensation exclusion to
the $1 million deduction limitation.

Recent Stock Price

         The closing price of the Class A Common Stock on September 16, 2002, as
reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market, was $33.85 per share.

Recommendation

         The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval

expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant




                                       25


6.       OPTION PROVISIONS.

         An Option represents the right to purchase a specified number of shares
during a specified period at a price per share that is no less than that
required by Section 6(b). Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain
such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The
provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall
include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option
Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

     (a) No Option shall be  exercisable  after the expiration of ten (10) years
from the date it was granted.

     (b) The  exercise  price of each  Incentive  Stock Option shall be not less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to
the  Option  on the date the  Option  is  granted.  The  exercise  price of each
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Fair
Market  Value of the  stock  subject  to the  Option  on the date the  Option is
granted. The foregoing not withstanding, the Committee may provide that the date
of grant of any Nonstatutory  Stock Option is the date on which the Optionee was
hired or promoted (or similar  event) if the grant of the Option occurs not more
than 90 days  after  the date of such  hiring,  promotion  or other  event.  The
exercise price of each Option shall be specified in the Option Agreement.

     (c) The  purchase  price of stock  acquired  pursuant to an Option shall be
paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i)
in cash at the  time the  Option  is  exercised,  or (ii) as  determined  by the
Committee (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, determined at the time
of grant),  (A) by delivery to the Company  (including by  attestation) of other
Class A Common Stock of the Company  (but only to the extent that such  exercise
of the Option would not result in an accounting compensation charge with respect
to the shares of Class A Common  Stock  used to pay the  exercise  price  unless
otherwise  determined by the Committee),  (B) according to a deferred payment or
other  arrangement  with the person to whom the Option is granted or to whom the
Option is transferred  pursuant to subsection  6(d) (but only to the extent that
such  exercise  of the  Option  would not result in an  accounting  compensation
charge  with  respect to the  payment of the  exercise  price  unless  otherwise
determined  by the  Committee),  (C) by  cashless  exercise  methods  which  are
permitted by law, including, without limitation,  methods whereby a broker sells
the Optioned  Shares to which the exercise  relates or holds them as  collateral
for a margin loan,  delivers  the Option Price to the Company,  and delivers the
remaining proceeds to the Optionee (and in connection therewith, the Company may
establish a cashless  exercise program including a program where the commissions
on the sale of  Optioned  Shares to which the  exercise  relates are paid by the
Company), or (D) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable
to the  Committee.  In the case of any deferred  payment  arrangement,  interest
shall be payable at least  annually  and shall be charged at the minimum rate of
interest necessary to avoid (i) the treatment as interest,  under any applicable
provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts  stated to be interest
under the  deferred  payment  arrangement  and (ii) an  accounting  compensation
charge to the Company.

     (d) Except as may be permitted by the  Committee in any  particular  Option
Agreement,  an Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of
descent and  distribution  and shall be  exercisable  during the lifetime of the
person to whom the Option is granted only by such person.



                                       26


     (e) The total  number of Optioned  Shares may, but need not, be allotted in
periodic  installments (which may, but need not, be equal). The Option Agreement
may provide that from time to time during each of such installment  periods, the
Option may become exercisable ("vest") with respect to some or all of the shares
allotted to that period, and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the
shares  allotted to such period  and/or any prior  period as to which the Option
became vested but was not fully  exercised.  During the remainder of the term of
the Option (if its term extends beyond the end of the installment periods),  the
Option may be exercised  from time to time with  respect to any Optioned  Shares
then remaining subject to the Option. The provisions of this subsection 6(e) are
subject to any Option  provisions in the Option Agreement  governing the minimum
number of shares as to which an Option may be exercised.

     (f)  In the  event  an  Optionee's  Continuous  Status  as an  Employee  or
Consultant  terminates  (other than upon Disability or death),  the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option, but only within such period of time as is determined
by the Committee and  specified in the Option  Agreement  (but in no event later
than  the  expiration  of the term of such  Option  as set  forth in the  Option
Agreement).

     (g)  In the  event  an  Optionee's  Continuous  Status  as an  Employee  or
Consultant  terminates as a result of Disability,  the Optionee may exercise his
or her  Option,  but only within  such  period of time as is  determined  by the
Committee and specified in the Option  Agreement (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).

     (h)  In the  event  an  Optionee's  Continuous  Status  as an  Employee  or
Consultant  terminates as a result of death,  the Option may be  exercised,  but
only within such period of time as is  determined by the Committee and specified
in the Option  Agreement  (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such Option as set forth in the Option  Agreement),  by the Optionee's estate
or by a person who  acquired  the right to  exercise  the  Options by bequest or
inheritance,  but only to the extent the  Optionee  was entitled to exercise the
Option at the time of death.

     (i) The Option Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the
Optionee may elect at any time while an Employee or  Consultant  to exercise the
Option as to any part or all of the shares  subject  to the Option  prior to the
full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares so purchased may be subject to a
repurchase  right  in favor  of the  Company  or to any  other  restriction  the
Committee determines to be appropriate.

7.       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS ( "SARs").

(a) A Stock Appreciation Right or SAR is a right to receive a payment, in cash,
Class A Common Stock, Optioned Shares or a combination of the foregoing, equal
to the excess of the Fair Market Value at time of exercise of a specified number
of shares over the aggregate exercise price of the SARs being exercised. The
aggregate exercise price of SARs shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of
the Fair Market Value of the specified number of shares subject to the SARs.
Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
the authority to grant SARs to a Plan participant either separately or in tandem
with other Stock Awards. The exercise of a tandem Stock Award shall result in an
immediate cancellation of its corresponding SAR, and the exercise of a tandem
SAR shall cause an immediate cancellation of its corresponding Stock Award. SARs
shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may
specify.



                                       27


     (b) Upon the  exercise  of an SAR,  the  participant  shall be  entitled to
receive an amount  equal to the  difference  between the Fair Market  Value of a
share of Class A Common  Stock of the  Company on the date of  exercise  and the
exercise price of the SAR. The Committee shall decide whether such payment shall
be in cash, Class A Common Stock, Optioned Shares or in a combination thereof.

8.       PERFORMANCE GRANTS.

     (a) A  Performance  Grant  is a grant,  subject  to the  attainment  of the
Performance  Criteria,  of shares of stock or of the right to receive  shares of
stock (or their cash equivalent or a combination of both) in the future. Subject
to the other  applicable  provisions  of the  Plan,  Performance  Grants  may be
awarded  to  Employees  or  Consultants  at any time  and  from  time to time as
determined by the  Committee.  The Committee  shall have complete  discretion in
determining  the size and  composition  of  Performance  Grants  so  issued to a
participant and the appropriate  period over which performance is to be measured
("performance cycle").

     (b) The value of each Performance Grant may be fixed or it may be permitted
to fluctuate based on the Performance  Criteria  selected by the Committee.  The
Committee shall establish  Performance Criteria that, depending on the extent to
which they are met, will determine the ultimate value of the  Performance  Grant
or the portion of such Performance  Grant earned by  participants,  or both. The
Committee shall establish  performance goals and objectives for each performance
cycle and shall  identify  one or more of the  following  business  criteria  or
objectives that is to be monitored  during the performance  cycle in determining
the  Performance  Grant:   return  on  assets,   operating  ratios,  cash  flow,
shareholder  return,  revenue  growth,  net  income,  earnings  per share,  debt
reduction, return on investment, revenue and attainment of budgets.

     (c) The Committee  shall  determine the portion of each  Performance  Grant
that  is  earned  by a  participant  on  the  basis  of the  achievement  of the
Performance Criteria during the performance cycle in relation to the performance
goals for such cycle. The earned portion of a Performance  Grant may be paid out
in restricted or  non-restricted  shares,  cash or a combination  of both as the
Committee may determine.

     (d) A  participant  must be an Employee or Consultant of the Company at the
end of the performance cycle in order to be entitled to payment of a Performance
Grant  issued in respect  of such  cycle;  provided,  however,  that,  except as
otherwise determined by the Committee, if a participant ceases to be an Employee
or  Consultant  of the  Company  upon  the  occurrence  of  his  or  her  death,
retirement, Disability or other reasons determined by the Committee prior to the
end of the performance cycle, the participant shall earn a proportionate portion
of the Performance Grant based upon the elapsed portion of the performance cycle
and the Company's performance over that portion of such cycle.

9.       STOCK BONUSES AND RESTRICTED STOCK.

         The Committee may at any time and from time to time award a Stock
Bonus, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to such participants and in
such amounts as it determines. An award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units may specify, in the Stock Award Agreement, the applicable restrictions, if
any, on the shares subject thereto, the duration of such restrictions, and the
time or times at which the restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or part
of the shares that are part of the award. Each Stock Bonus or Stock Award
Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as
the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Stock Bonuses
or grants of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may change from time to
time, and the terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical,
but each Stock Bonus or Stock Award Agreement shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise)
the substance of each of the following provisions as appropriate:


                                       28


     (a) The Committee may determine that eligible  participants in the Plan may
be awarded  Optioned Stock pursuant to a Stock Bonus in  consideration  for past
services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit.

     (b) Except as permitted  by the  Committee  in any  particular  Stock Award
Agreement,  no rights  under a Stock  Bonus or Stock  Award  Agreement  shall be
transferable  except by will or by the laws of descent and  distribution so long
as Optioned  Shares awarded under such agreement  remain subject to the terms of
the agreement.

     (c) The  purchase  price of Optioned  Shares  acquired  pursuant to a Stock
Award Agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase;  (ii)
at the  discretion of the  Committee,  according to a deferred  payment or other
arrangement  with the  person to whom the  stock is sold;  or (iii) in any other
form of legal  consideration  that may be  acceptable  to the  Committee  in its
discretion.

10.      CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS.

         The Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from
time to time, with the consent of the affected holders of Options (i) the
repricing of any outstanding Options under the Plan and/or (ii) the cancellation
of any outstanding Options under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor
of new Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of shares
of stock but having an exercise price per share of not less than fifty percent
(50%) of the Fair Market Value (one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or, in the case of a 10%
stockholder (as described in subsection 5(c)), not less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value) per share of stock on the new grant
date.

11.      COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     (a) During the terms of the Stock Awards,  the Company shall keep available
at all times  the  number of shares of stock  required  to  satisfy  such  Stock
Awards.

     (b) The Company  shall seek to obtain from each  regulatory  commission  or
agency having  jurisdiction  over the Plan such  authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of Stock Awards; provided, however,
that this  undertaking  shall not  require  the  Company to  register  under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities  Act") either the Plan, any Stock Awards
or any stock  issued or issuable  pursuant to any such Stock  Awards.  If, after
reasonable  efforts,  the Company is unable to obtain  from any such  regulatory
commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary
for the lawful  issuance and sale of stock under the Plan,  the Company shall be
relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of
Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

12.      USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

     Proceeds from the sale of stock  pursuant to Stock Awards shall  constitute
general funds of the Company.



                                       29


13.      MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) The Committee  shall have the power to  accelerate  the time at which a
Stock Award may first be  exercised,  or the time during  which a Stock Award or
any part  thereof  will vest,  notwithstanding  the  vesting  conditions  of the
original grant.

     (b) Neither a Plan  participant nor any person to whom a Stock Award may be
transferred under the applicable  restrictions of the Plan shall be deemed to be
the  holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder  with  respect  to, any
shares  subject to such Stock Award  unless and until such person has  satisfied
all  requirements  for  exercise  of the  Option  pursuant  to its  terms or the
reservations,  conditions  and  contingencies  applicable  to each other form of
Stock Award shall have been satisfied.

     (c) Nothing in the Plan or any  instrument  executed or Stock Award granted
pursuant  hereto shall confer upon any Employee,  Consultant,  Optionee or other
holder of Stock  Awards  any right to  continue  in the employ or service of the
Company  or any  Affiliate  or shall  affect  the  right of the  Company  or any
Affiliate to terminate  the  employment or  relationship  as a Consultant of any
Employee,  Consultant,  Optionee or other holder of Stock Awards with or without
cause.

     (d) To the extent that the aggregate  Fair Market Value  (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which  Incentive  Stock Options  granted
after  1986 are  exercisable  for the  first  time by any  Optionee  during  any
calendar  year under all plans of the  Company  and its  Affiliates  exceeds one
hundred  thousand  dollars  ($100,000),  the Options or portions  thereof  which
exceed such limit  (according to the order in which they were granted)  shall be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

     (e) The Company may require any  recipient of a Stock Award,  or any person
to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the applicable  terms of
the Plan, as a condition of exercising any such Stock Award, (1) to give written
assurances  satisfactory  to the  Company  as to  such  person's  knowledge  and
experience  in  financial  and  business  matters  and/or to employ a  purchaser
representative  reasonably  satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and
experienced in financial and business matters,  and that he or she is capable of
evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative,  the merits and
risks  of  exercising  the  Stock  Award,  and  (2) to give  written  assurances
satisfactory  to the Company  stating  that such person is  acquiring  the stock
subject  to the  Stock  Award for such  person's  own  account  and not with any
present intention of selling or otherwise  distributing the stock. The foregoing
requirements,  and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements,  shall be
inoperative  if  (i)  the  issuance  of  the  shares  upon  the  exercise  of or
acquisition  of stock  under the Stock  Award has been  registered  under a then
currently effective  registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) as
to any  particular  requirement,  a  determination  is made by  counsel  for the
Company that such  requirement  need not be met in the  circumstances  under the
then applicable  securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the
Company,  place  legends  on stock  certificates  issued  under the Plan as such
counsel  deems  necessary  or  appropriate  in order to comply  with  applicable
securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer
of the stock.

     (f) To the extent  provided  by the terms of a Stock Award  Agreement,  the
person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal,  state or local
tax withholding  obligation  relating to the exercise of or acquisition of stock
under a Stock Award by any of the following  means or by a  combination  of such
means as determined by the Committee in its  discretion:  (1)  withholding  from
compensation;  (2)  tendering a cash  payment;  (3)  authorizing  the Company to
withhold  shares from the shares of Class A Common Stock  otherwise  issuable to
the participant as a result of the exercise of or acquisition of stock under the
Stock Award (but only the number of shares sufficient to satisfy the minimum tax
withholding  obligation of the Company);  or (4) delivering to the Company owned
and unencumbered shares of the Class A Common Stock of the Company owned by such
person.



                                       30


14.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

     (a) If any  change is made in the stock  subject  to the Plan or subject to
any   Stock    Award    (through    merger,    consolidation,    reorganization,
recapitalization,  stock dividend,  dividend in property other than cash,  stock
split,  liquidating dividend,  combination of shares, exchange of shares, change
in corporate structure or otherwise), the Plan and outstanding Stock Awards will
be appropriately  adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of shares subject
to the Plan and the  class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock
subject to outstanding Stock Awards.

     (b) In the event of: (1) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (2) a
merger or consolidation  in which the Company is not the surviving  corporation;
(3) a reverse merger in which the company is the surviving  corporation  but the
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock outstanding  immediately  preceding
the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in
the  form  of  securities,   cash  or  otherwise;   or  (4)  any  other  capital
reorganization  in which  more than  fifty  percent  (50%) of the  shares of the
Company  entitled  to vote are  exchanged,  then at the sole  discretion  of the
Committee  and to the extent  permitted by  applicable  law:  (i) any  surviving
corporation  shall assume any Stock Awards  outstanding  under the Plan or shall
substitute  similar Stock Awards for those  outstanding under the Plan, (ii) the
time during which such Stock Award may be exercised shall be accelerated and the
Stock Awards  terminated  if not  exercised  prior to such event,  or (iii) such
Stock Awards shall continue in full force and effect.

15.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

     (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan in any
manner.  However,  except as provided in Section 14 relating to adjustments upon
changes  in stock,  no  amendment  shall be  effective  unless  approved  by the
shareholders  of the  Company  within  twelve  (12)  months  before or after the
adoption of the amendment where the amendment will:

          (1) Increase the number of shares  reserved for Stock Awards under the
     Plan;

          (2) Modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the
     Plan (to the extent  such  modification  requires  shareholder  approval in
     order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) or Section
     422 of the Code); or

          (3)  Modify  the Plan in any other way if such  modification  requires
     shareholder  approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the  requirements of
     Section 162(m) or Section 422 of the Code, of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
     Act,  or of the  Nasdaq  National  Market  or any  exchange  on  which  the
     Company's shares may be listed.

     (b) It is expressly  contemplated  that the Board may amend the Plan in any
respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible  Employees or
Consultants  with the maximum  benefits  provided  or to be  provided  under the
provisions of the Code and the regulations  promulgated  thereunder  relating to
Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or  Incentive Stock Options
granted under it into compliance therewith; provided, however, shares covered by
any Stock Awards in excess of the maximum number of Optioned Shares provided for
in Section 4(a) above shall be deemed  awarded on the date of the Initial  Stock
Award if shareholders approve the increase pursuant to this Section 15.



                                       31


     (c) Rights and obligations  under any Stock Award granted before  amendment
of the Plan shall not be altered or impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless
(i) the Company  requests  the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was
granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.

16.      TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

     (a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Unless sooner
terminated the Plan shall terminate on February 25, 2013. No Stock Awards may be
granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

     (b) Rights and obligations  under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is
in effect shall not be altered or impaired by suspension or  termination  of the
Plan, except with the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted.
