<P><FONT SIZE=2><B> ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.  </B></FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan was adopted by the Board May&nbsp;17, 1999 to be effective on the effective date of the Company's initial public offering of its Common Shares and
was amended by the Board on May&nbsp;25, 2000. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a)&nbsp;encouraging
Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b)&nbsp;encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants
with exceptional qualifications and (c)&nbsp;linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this
purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, Options (which may constitute incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options) or stock appreciation
rights. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except their choice-of-law provisions). </FONT></P>

SIZE=2><B>2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;Committee Composition.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan may be administered by one or more Committees or by the full Board,
as the Board may determine. Each Committee shall consist exclusively of one or more directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. Each reference in the Plan to the Committee shall be
construed as a reference to (a)&nbsp;a Committee appointed under this Section&nbsp;2.1, if the Board has
assigned a particular function to such Committee, or (b)&nbsp;the full Board, if the Board has reserved a particular function for itself. </FONT></P>

Directors and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b)&nbsp;determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c)&nbsp;interpret
the Plan and (d)&nbsp;make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. A Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. A Committee's
determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT
SIZE=2><B>2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;Committee for Non-Officer Grants.</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board may also appoint a secondary committee of
the Board, which shall be composed of one or more directors of the Company who need not satisfy the requirements of Section&nbsp;2.1. Such secondary committee may administer the Plan with respect to
Employees and Consultants who are not considered officers or directors of the Company under section&nbsp;16 of the Exchange Act, may grant Awards under the Plan to such Employees and Consultants and
may determine all features and conditions of such Awards. Within the limitations of this Section&nbsp;2.3, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such secondary committee. </FONT></P>
