OUTSTANDING STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS

Only holders of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, (the "Common Stock") and holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business on May 14, 2004, (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 33,861,933 shares of Common stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters. In addition, holders of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock vote together with holders of the Common Stock as a single class on all actions to be voted on by the stockholders. Each share of Series A Preferred stock entitles the holder to 100 votes per share. Based upon 6,150 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the Record Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to an aggregate of 615,000 votes. There are no cumulative voting rights.

1

VOTING PROCEDURES

The directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock voting together as one class that are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present. Therefore, the three nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected as directors of the Company. All other matters at the Annual Meeting, including approval of amendment to the letter of credit agreement with Mr. Robert Howard, Chairman of the Board and a principal stockholder of the Company, and the proposal to approve the adoption of the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock cast with respect thereto, provided a quorum is present. A quorum is present if, as of the Record Date, at least a majority of the aggregate votes represented by holders of the shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Record Date are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Votes will be counted and certified by one or more Inspectors of Election who are expected to be employees of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the transfer agent for the Common Stock. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining approval of a matter presented at the meeting, abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote and will, therefore, have the same legal effect as a vote "against" a matter presented at the meeting. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated and will, therefore, have no legal effect on the vote on that particular matter.

Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. Unless otherwise stated, all shares represented by a proxy will be voted as instructed. Proxies may be revoked as noted above.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes (Class I, Class II and Class III). At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors constituting one class are elected for a three-year term. At this year's Annual Meeting, three (3) Class II directors will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2007. Each director will be elected to serve during his elected term until a successor is elected and qualified or until the director's earlier resignation or removal.

At the Annual Meeting, proxies granted by stockholders will be voted individually for the election, as Class II directors of the Company, of the persons listed below, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of a nominee for director. In the event any of the nominees listed below is unable to serve, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for such other

2

nominees as are designated by the Board of Directors. Each of the persons named below, who are presently members of the Company's Board of Directors, has indicated to the Board of Directors of the Company that he will be available to serve.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES SPECIFIED BELOW.

During 2003, each member of the Board participated in all Board and applicable committee meetings held during the period for which he or she was a director.

BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board of Directors maintains an Audit Committee and in April 2004, as part of the Company's efforts to improve its corporate governance, the Board established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee are comprised solely of persons who meet the definition of an "Independent Director" under the NASD Marketplace Rules applicable to Nasdaq listed companies. In addition, each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. The charter of the Audit Committee is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee have not yet adopted charters.

The Audit Committee, among other things, selects the firm to be appointed as independent accountants to audit the Company's financial statements and reviews and discusses the scope and results of each audit with the independent accountants and with management. The Audit Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The current members of the Audit Committee are: James Harlan, Chairperson; George Farley and Elliot Sussman. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Farley qualifies as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" under applicable SEC rules.

6

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for, among other things, developing and recommending to the Board corporate governance policies for the Company, establishing procedures for the director nomination process and recommending nominees for election to the Board. The Company did not have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider qualified nominees for the Company's Board of Directors recommended by stockholders of the Company who follow the procedures set forth under the caption "Consideration of Director Nominees". The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are: George Farley, Chairperson; Rachel Brem; and Herschel Sklaroff.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in overseeing the Company's executive compensation strategy and reviewing and approving the compensation of the Company's executive officers. The Company did not have a Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The current members of the Compensation Committee are: Elliot Sussman, Chairperson; Rachel Brem; and James Harlan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Company did not have a Compensation Committee or other committee of the Company's Board of Directors performing similar functions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The person who performed the equivalent function in 2003 was Robert Howard, Chairman of the Board under the direction of the Board of Directors. W. Scott Parr, Chief Executive Officer and a director, participated in discussions with Mr. Howard during the past completed fiscal year in his capacity as an executive officer in connection with executive officer compensation. During 2003 none of the executive officers of the Company served on the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any other entity.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company's review of copies of such forms received by the Company, the Company believes that during the year ended December 31, 2003, all filing requirements applicable to all officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial stockholders were complied with, except that: (i) Mr. Howard failed to timely file Form 4's to report additional loans made to the Company during the period from April, 2003 through August 1, 2003 pursuant to the Convertible Revolving Promissory Note that is convertible into a total of 543,526 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

SEPARATION AGREEMENTS WITH FORMER OFFICERS

In September 2002, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with each of W. Kip Speyer, the former Chief Executive Officer of iCAD and Gregory J.

Speyer and Stepic of $500,000 and

11

$148,000, respectively, in lieu of any severance payments to which they may have been entitled to under their employment agreements. The severance payments, less any required withholding by the Company, are payable to Mr. Speyer in equal installments over a 30 month period and to Mr. Stepic in equal installments over a 12 month period, in each case subject to the right to accelerate payments upon the sale of the outstanding stock of the Company or upon a sale by the Company of substantially all of its assets. Under the Separation Agreements, each of Messrs. Speyer and Stepic was entitled to retain his outstanding options of the Company which remain exercisable in accordance with their respective terms. Also, pursuant to the Separation Agreements Messrs. Speyer and Stepic each agreed to remain bound by the confidentiality and non-competition provisions of their employment agreements for the periods set for in the employment agreements.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In April 2004 The Board established a Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, there was no Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or other committee of the Board of Directors performing an equivalent function. As noted above, executive compensation in 2003 was determined by the Company's Chairman of the Board, Robert Howard, in consultation with W. Scott Parr, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. There is no formal compensation policy for either the Chief Executive Officer or the other executive officers of the Company. Executive Compensation is based generally on performance and the Company's resources, but not on specific objective criteria.

Stock Options. Stock option awards are intended to attract, retain and motivate personnel by affording them an opportunity to receive additional compensation based upon the performance of the Company's Common Stock. The size and grant of actual awards is determined by the Board on an individual basis, taking into account the individual's role in the Company and standard principals of reward, retention and recognition to which option grants are geared. The Board's determination as to the size of actual awards to individual executives is subjective, after taking into account the relative responsibilities and contributions of the individual employee.

By the Board of Directors:

Robert Howard, W. Scott Parr; James Harlan; Maha Sallam; Elliot Sussman; Steven Rogers; George Farley; Herschel Sklaroff; and Rachel Brem.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following chart sets forth a line graph comparing the performance of the Company's Common Stock, over the past five years. This graph assumes the investment of $100 on December 31, 1998, in the Company's Common Stock, and compares the performance with the Nasdaq Composite Index and the Nasdaq Computer Manufacturer Index. Measurement points are at December 31 for each respective year.

Those companies which compete with the Company in its principal market, image scanning, are either small subsidiaries or divisions of large United States corporations or are foreign companies which are either not quoted on a stock exchange or for which data is difficult to obtain. For this reason a more generic index of Nasdaq technology stocks has been adopted. The Company pays no dividends on its Common Stock. The Nasdaq Composite Index and the Nasdaq Computer Manufacturer Index reflect a cumulative total return based upon the reinvestment of dividends of the stocks included in those indices. The historical information set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Mr. Robert Howard, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a principal stockholder of the Company, under which Mr. Howard has agreed to advance funds, or to provide guarantees of advances made by third parties in an amount up to $4,000,000. The Loan Agreement expires January 4, 2005, subject to extension by the parties. Outstanding advances are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company and bear interest at prime interest rate plus 2% with a minimum of 8%. Mr. Howard is entitled to convert outstanding advances made by him under the Loan Agreement into shares of the Company's common stock at any time based on the outstanding closing market price of the Company's common stock at the lesser of the market price at the time each advance is made or at the time of conversion.

In 2003 the Company borrowed $3,430,000 pursuant to the Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2003, $3,630,000 was owed by the Company and the Company had $370,000 available for future borrowings under the Loan Agreement.

PROPOSAL I

AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT WITH ROBERT HOWARD

The Company has a Loan Agreement with Robert Howard, Chairman of the Board and a principal stockholder of the Company, which provides, among other things, that advances under the line of credit agreement are convertible into Common Stock of iCAD based on a conversion price defined as the lesser of the market price of Common Stock at the time of conversion or the market price of the Common Stock at the time the advance is made. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement bear interest at prime interest rate plus 2% with a minimum of 8%. The Loan Agreement expires January 4, 2005, subject to extension by the parties. Mr. Howard has agreed to amend iCAD's Loan Agreement to increase the amount of funds to be advanced, or to provide guarantees of advances made, from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000.

The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to continue the Loan Agreement, as amended by the proposed amendment.

If the amendment is adopted by the requisite number of votes, the amendment will become effective upon stockholder approval.

RECOMMENDATION

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE LOAN AGREEMENT.

PROPOSAL II

APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S 2004 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

At the Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders will be asked to approve the adoption of the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Pan (the "2004 Plan").

In April 2004, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2004 Plan (the "2004 Plan"). The Board believes that, to enable the Company to continue to attract and retain personnel of the highest caliber, provide incentive for officers, directors, employees and other key persons and to promote the well-being of the Company, it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to provide to officers, directors, employees, consultants and other independent contractors who perform services for the Company, through the granting of stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock or other stock-based awards, the opportunity to participate in the value and/or appreciation in value of the Company's Common Stock. The Board has found that the grant of options under its existing stock option plans has proven to be a valuable tool in attracting, retaining and motivating key employees and consultants. Accordingly, the Board believes that the 2004 Plan, which provides the Board greater flexibility with respect to certain terms under which awards that may be granted, as well as different types of awards, (a) will provide the Company with significant means to attract and retain talented personnel, (b) will result in saving cash, which otherwise would be required to maintain current employees and adequately attract and reward personnel and others who perform services for the Company, and (c) consequently, will prove beneficial to the Company's ability to be competitive. The Company believes that there is not a sufficient amount of options and stock awards available for future grant under the Company's existing stock option plans. The last sale price of the Common Stock on May 25, 2004 was $3.54.

To date, no options or other awards have been granted under the 2004 Plan. If the 2004 Plan is approved by the stockholders, options or stock awards may be granted under the 2004 Plan, the timing, amounts and specific terms of which have not been determined at this time.

The following summary of the 2004 Plan does not purport to be complete, and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2004 Plan, set forth as Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement.

Summary of the 2004 Plan

The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards (collectively, "Awards"): (a) stock options, (b) restricted stock, (c) deferred stock and (d) other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem, as determined by the Board of Directors or the Committee (as defined below). Subject to anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the 2004 Plan, (i) a total of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for distribution pursuant to the 2004 Plan, and
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to any individual participant under the 2004 Plan may not exceed 250,000 shares during the term of the 2004 Plan.

19

The 2004 Plan may be administered by the Board of Directors (the "Board") or a Committee (the "Committee") consisting of two or more members of the Board of Directors appointed by the Board. The Board or the Committee will determine, among other things, the persons to whom Awards will be granted, the type of Awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each Award and the share price. The Board or the Committee will also determine the term of each Award, the restrictions or limitations thereon, and the manner in which each such Award may be exercised or, if applicable, the extent and circumstances under which Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award will be deferred. The 2004 Plan will become effective upon its approval and adoption at the Annual Meeting (the "Effective Date") and no Award shall be granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Stock Options. The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of "incentive stock options" ("Incentive Stock Options"), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and for options not qualifying as Incentive Stock Options ("Non-Qualified Stock Options"). The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine those persons to whom stock options may be granted.

Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan are nontransferable by the optionee during his lifetime. Options granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan will expire if not exercised within 10 years of the grant (five years in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to an eligible employee owning stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company immediately before the grant ("10% Stockholder")), and under certain circumstances set forth in the 2004 Plan, may be exercised within three (3) months following termination of employment (one year in the event of death, retirement or disability of the optionee), unless the term of the option, pursuant to the stock option agreement, expires earlier or unless the Board or Committee determines to shorten or extend the exercise periods. Options may be granted to optionees in such amounts and at such prices as may be determined, from time to time, by the Board or the Committee. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option will not be less than the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the date the option is granted, provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be less than such fair market value on the date of grant.

Under the 2004 Plan, the Company may not, in the aggregate, grant Incentive Stock Options that are first exercisable by any optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of the optionee's employer corporation and its "parent" and "subsidiary" corporations, as those terms are defined in
Section 424 of the Code) to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of the underlying stock (determined at the time the option is granted) exceeds $100,000.

The 2004 Plan contains anti-dilution provisions authorizing appropriate adjustments in certain circumstances. Shares of Common Stock subject to Awards which expire without being exercised or which are cancelled as a result of the cessation of employment are available for further grants. No shares of Common Stock of the Company may be issued upon the exercise of any option granted under the 2004 Plan until the full option price has been paid by the optionee. The Board of Directors or the Committee may grant individual options under the 2004 Plan with more stringent provisions than those specified in the 2004 Plan.

20

Options become exercisable in such amounts, at such intervals and upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors or the Committee provides. Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan are exercisable until the earlier of (i) a date set by the Board of Directors or Committee at the time of grant or (ii) the close of business on the day before the tenth anniversary of the stock option's date of grant (the day before the fifth anniversary in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Stockholder). The 2004 Plan will remain in effect until all stock options are exercised or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no options may be granted on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Restricted and Deferred Stock Awards. Under the 2004 Plan, the Board or the Committee may grant shares of restricted Common Stock either alone or in tandem with other Awards. Restricted and Deferred Stock awards give the recipient the right to receive a specified number of shares of Common Stock, subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate. Restrictions may include limitations on the right to transfer the stock until the expiration of a specified period of time and forfeiture of the stock upon the occurrence of certain events such as the termination of employment prior to expiration of a specified period of time. In addition, a participant in the 2004 Plan who has received a Deferred Stock Award may request, under certain conditions, the Board or the Committee to defer the receipt of an Award (or an installment of an Award) for an additional specified period or until the occurrence of a specified event.

Other Stock Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards, which may include performance shares and shares valued by reference to the performance of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, may be granted either alone or in tandem with other Awards.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the 2004 Plan

The following is a brief summary of the Federal income tax aspects of Awards made under the 2004 Plan based upon statutes, regulations and interpretations in effect on the date hereof. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive, and does not describe state or local tax consequences.

Incentive Stock Options. The optionee will recognize no taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. Upon a disposition of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option after the later of two years from the date of grant and one year after the transfer of the shares to the optionee, (a) the optionee will recognize the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the exercise price as long-term capital gain or long-term capital loss (as the case may be) if the shares are capital assets in his or her hands; and (b) the Company will not qualify for any deduction in connection with the grant or exercise of the options. The excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of an Incentive Stock Option over the exercise price will be treated as an item of adjustment to the optionee for his or her taxable year in which the exercise occurs and may result in an alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee. In the case of a disposition of shares in the same taxable year as the exercise where the amount realized on the disposition is less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, there will be no adjustment since the amount treated as an item of adjustment, for alternative minimum tax purposes, is limited to the excess of the amount realized on such disposition over the exercise price which is the same amount included in regular taxable income.

21

If Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is disposed of prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above, (a) the optionee will recognize ordinary compensation income in the taxable year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the disposition of the shares, over the exercise price paid for such shares; and (b) the Company will qualify for a deduction equal to any such amount recognized, subject to the requirements that the compensation be reasonable and not limited under Section 162(m) of the Code. The optionee will recognize the excess, if any, of the amount realized over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, if the shares are capital assets in his or her hands, as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on the length of time that the optionee held the shares, and the Company will not qualify for a deduction with respect to such excess.

Subject to certain exceptions for disability or death, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised more than three months following the termination of the optionee's employment, the option will generally be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. See "Non-Qualified Stock Options."

Non-Qualified Stock Options. With respect to Non-Qualified Stock Options, (a) upon grant of the option, the optionee will recognize no income;
(b) upon exercise of the option (if the shares are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), the optionee will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and the Company will qualify for a deduction in the same amount, subject to the requirements that the compensation be reasonable and not limited under Section 162(m) of the Code; (c) the Company will be required to comply with applicable Federal income tax withholding requirements with respect to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the optionee; and (d) on a sale of the shares, the optionee will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized and the sum of the exercise price and the ordinary compensation income recognized. Such gain or loss will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets in the optionee's hands depending upon the length of time that the optionee held the shares. If the optionee's shares acquired upon exercise are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the optionee will have an election to treat the exercise as a taxable event or defer the Federal income tax consequences according to the rules described below in "Stock Awards."

Stock Awards. Unless a participant otherwise elects to be taxed upon receipt of shares of restricted or deferred stock under the 2004 Plan, the participant must include in his or her taxable income the difference between the fair market value of the shares and the amount paid, if any, for the shares, as of the first date the participant's interest in the shares is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or such shares become transferable. A participant's rights in stock awarded under the 2004 Plan are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture if the rights to full enjoyment of the shares are conditioned, directly or indirectly, upon the future performance of substantial services by the participant. Where shares of stock received under the 2004 Plan are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant can elect to report the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt and the amount paid, if any, for the stock as ordinary income in the year of receipt. To be effective, the election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after the date the shares are transferred to the

22

participant. The Company is entitled to a Federal income tax deduction equal in amount to the amount includable as compensation in the gross income of the participant, subject to the requirements that the compensation be reasonable and not limited under Section 162(m) of the Code. The amount of taxable gain arising from a participant's sale of shares of restricted stock acquired pursuant to the 2004 Plan is equal to the excess of the amount realized on such sale over the sum of the amount paid, if any, for the stock and the compensation element included by the participant in taxable income.

Other Tax Matters. If unmatured installments of Awards are accelerated as a result of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2004 Plan), any amounts received from the exercise by a participant of a stock option, the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock or the deemed satisfaction of conditions of performance-based Awards may be included in determining whether or not a participant has received an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code, which could result in (a) the imposition of a 20% Federal excise tax (in addition to Federal income tax) payable by the participant on certain payments of Common Stock or cash resulting from such exercise or deemed satisfaction of conditions of performance Awards from such exercise or deemed satisfaction of conditions of performance awards or, in the case of restricted stock, on all or a portion of the fair market value of the shares on the date the restrictions lapse and (b) the loss by the Company of a compensation deduction.

(B) establish procedures for (i) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and (ii) the confidential, anonymous submissions by Company employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;

(C) have the authority to engage independent counsel and other advisers, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties;

(D) receive appropriate funding from the Company, as determined by the audit committee in its capacity as a committee of the Board of Directors, for payment of: (i) compensation to any registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company; (ii) compensation to any advisers employed by the audit committee; and (iii) ordinary administrative expenses of the audit committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties;

(E) ensure its receipt from the Company's outside auditors of a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Company, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard 1, and actively engaging in a dialogue with the auditor with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor and for taking, or recommending that the full Board of Directors take, appropriate action to oversee the independence of the outside auditor;

(F) review and reassess the adequacy of the audit committee's charter annually;

(G) comply with all pre-approval requirements of Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all SEC rules relating to the administration by the audit committee of the auditor engagement to the extent necessary to maintain the independence of the auditor as set forth in 17 CFR

Part 210.2-01(c)(7); and

(H) make such other recommendations to the Board of Directors on such matters, within the scope of its function, as may come to its attention and which in its discretion warrant consideration by the Board.

MEETINGS

The audit committee shall meet at least two times per year, or more frequently as circumstances require. One or more meetings may be conducted in whole or in part by telephone conference call or similar means if it is impracticable to obtain the personal presence of each audit committee member. The Company shall make available to the audit committee, at its meetings and otherwise, such individuals and entities as may be designated from time to time by the audit committee, such as members of management including (but not limited to) the internal audit and accounting staff, the independent auditors, inside

2

and outside counsel, and other individuals or entities (whether or not employed by the Company and including any corporate governance employees and individuals or entities performing internal audit services as independent contractors).

DELEGATION

Any duties and responsibilities of the audit committee, including, but not limited to, the authority to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services, may be delegated to one or more members of the audit committee or a subcommittee of the audit committee.

LIMITATIONS

The audit committee is responsible for the duties and responsibilities set forth in this charter, but its role is oversight and therefore it is not responsible for either the preparation of the Company's financial statements or the auditing of the Company's financial statements. The members of the audit committee are not employees of the Company and may not be accountants or auditors by profession or experts in accounting or auditing. Management of the Company has the responsibility for preparing the financial statements and implementing internal controls over financial reporting and the independent auditors have the responsibility for auditing the financial statements and monitoring the effectiveness of the internal controls, subject, in each case, to the oversight of the audit committee described in this charter. The review of the financial statements by the audit committee is not of the same character or quality as the audit performed by the independent auditors. The oversight exercised by the audit committee is not a guarantee that the financial statements will be free from mistake or fraud. In carrying out its responsibilities, the audit committee believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible in order to best react to a changing environment.

SECTION 2. Administration.

The Plan shall be administered by the Board, or at its discretion, the Committee, the membership of which shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board, each of whom shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall be a "Non-Employee Director," as defined in Rule 16b-3 and shall be at all times constituted so as not to adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or with the requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation.

The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the authority to grant, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, to officers and other employees or other persons eligible under Section 4 below: (i) Stock Options, (ii) Restricted Stock, (iii) Deferred Stock, and/or (iv) Other Stock-Based Awards.

For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the authority (subject to the express provisions of the Plan):

(i) to select the officers, other employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and other persons to whom Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may be from time to time granted hereunder;

(ii) to determine the Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards, or any combination thereof, if any, to be granted hereunder to one or more eligible persons;

(iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by each award granted hereunder;

3

Subject to Section 10 hereof, The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the authority to (i) adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable, (ii) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and (iii) to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, all decisions made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Board or the Committee's sole and absolute discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries and the Plan participants.

SECTION 3. Stock Subject to Plan.

The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for distribution under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 shares. Such shares may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.

If any shares of Stock that have been optioned cease to be subject to a Stock Option for any reason, or if any shares of Stock that are subject to any Restricted Stock award, Deferred Stock award or Other Stock-Based award are forfeited or any such award otherwise terminates without the issuance of such shares, such shares shall again be available for distribution under the Plan.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Stock or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or adjustments shall be made in the (A) aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, (B) number, kind and exercise price of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, and (C) number, kind, purchase price and/or appreciation base of shares of Stock subject to other outstanding awards granted under the Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights; provided, however, that the number of shares of Stock subject to any award shall always be a whole number. Such adjusted exercise price shall also be used to determine the amount which is payable to the optionee upon the exercise by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, of the alternative settlement right which is set forth in Section 5(b)(xi) below.

Subject to the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, the maximum numbers of shares subject to Options, Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards, and other Stock-Based awards to each of the Company's chief executive office and the four other highest compensated executive officers who are employed by the Company on the last day of any taxable year of the Company, shall be 250,000 shares during the term of the Plan.

SECTION 4. Eligibility.

Officers and other employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary (but excluding any person whose eligibility would adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3) who are at the time of the grant of an award under the Plan employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth

4

and/or profitability of the business of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, are eligible to be granted Options and awards under the Plan. In addition, Non-Qualified Stock Options and other awards may be granted under the Plan to any person, including, but not limited to, directors, independent agents, consultants and attorneys who the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, believes has contributed or will contribute to the success of the Company. Eligibility under the Plan shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.

The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its sole discretion, include additional conditions and restrictions in the agreement entered into in connection with such awards under the Plan. The grant of an Option or other award under the Plan, and any determination made in connection therewith, shall be made on a case by case basis and can differ among optionees and grantees. The grant of an Option or other award under the Plan is a privilege and not a right and the determination of the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, can be applied on a non-uniform (discretionary) basis.

SECTION 5. Stock Options.

(a) Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may from time to time approve. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall have the authority to grant to any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options, and they may be granted alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The grant of an Option shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, by resolution, designates an individual as a grantee thereof, and determines the number of shares of Stock subject to, and the terms and conditions of, said Option.

Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options or any agreement providing for Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or, without the consent of the optionee(s) affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under said Section 422.

(b) Terms and Conditions. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of grant but as to Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be not less than 100% (110% in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee ("10% Shareholder") who, at the time of grant, owns Stock possessing more than 10% of the

5

total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its Parent, if any, or its Subsidiaries) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the time of grant.

(ii) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years (five years, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Shareholder) after the date on which the Option is granted.

(iii) EXERCISABILITY. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be. If the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine.

(iv) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Stock Option agreement referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below or otherwise provided by the Board, or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the date of grant of the Stock Option , in whole shares of Stock which are already owned by the holder of the Option or partly in cash and partly in such Stock. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof. If permitted, payments in the form of Stock (which shall be valued at the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise) shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form which are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. In addition to the foregoing, payment of the exercise price may be made by delivery to the Company by the optionee of an executed exercise form, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of the shares covered by the option and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in the Stock Option agreement referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below or otherwise provided by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the date of grant of the Option, no Option which is granted to a person who

6

is at the time of grant an employee of the Company or of a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company may be exercised at any time unless the holder thereof is then an employee of the Company or of a Parent or a Subsidiary. The holder of an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for those shares of Stock and, if requested by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, has given the representation described in Section 12(a) below.

(v) TRANSFERABILITY; EXERCISABILITY. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, except as may be otherwise provided with respect to a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to the specific provisions of the Stock Option agreement pursuant to which it was issued as referred to in Section 5(b)(xii) below (which agreement may be amended, from time to time) . Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option agreement relating to a Non-Qualified Stock Option, all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee or his or her guardian or legal representative.

(vi) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DEATH. Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee's employment by the Company or any Parent or Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable or on such accelerated basis as the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.

(vii) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY. Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee's employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the time of grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.

7

(viii) TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT. Subject to Section 5(b)(x) below, if an optionee's employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Normal Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination or on such accelerated basis as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine at or after the time of grant, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment or the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one year period (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the date of grant), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year from the date of death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. If an optionee's employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates by reason of Early Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon terminate; provided, however, that if the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, so approves at the time of Early Retirement, any Stock Option held by the optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee as provided above in connection with termination of employment by reason of Normal Retirement.

(ix) OTHER TERMINATION. Subject to the provisions of Section 12(g) below and unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, at or after the time of grant, if an optionee's employment by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the optionee is involuntarily terminated by the Company or any Parent or a Subsidiary without Cause (as hereinafter defined), such Stock Option may be exercised for a period of three months (or such other period as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. For purposes of the Plan, "Cause" shall mean (1) the conviction of the optionee of a felony under Federal law or the law of the state in which such action occurred, (2) dishonesty by the optionee in the course of fulfilling his or her employment duties, or (3) the failure on the part of the optionee to perform his or her employment duties in any material respect. In addition, with respect to an option granted to an employee of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, for purposes of the Plan, "Cause" shall also include any definition of "Cause" contained in any employment agreement between the optionee and the Company, Parent or Subsidiary, as the case may be.

(x) ADDITIONAL INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATION. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value of Stock (determined at the time of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of

8

optionee's employer corporation and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.

(xi) ALTERNATIVE SETTLEMENT OF OPTION. If provided for, upon the receipt of written notice of exercise or otherwise provided for by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, either at or after the time of grant of the Stock Option, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may elect to settle all or part of any Stock Option by paying to the optionee an amount, in cash or Stock (valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise), equal to the product of the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock, on the date of exercise over the Option exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the optionee proposes to exercise the Option. Any such settlements which relate to Options which are held by optionees who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with any "window period" provisions of Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable, and with such other conditions as the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may impose.

(xii) STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Each grant of a Stock Option shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the participant.

SECTION 6. Restricted Stock.

(a) Grant and Exercise. Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient, the time or times within which such awards may be subject to forfeiture (the "Restriction Period"), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of such factors as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may determine.

(b) Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a restrictive legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights related thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Restricted Stock agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below. Such certificates shall be deposited bythe holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company

9

of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock agreement.

(ii) Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes, and the issuance thereof shall be made for at least the minimum consideration (if any) necessary to permit the shares of Restricted Stock to be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. The holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (A) the holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (B) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (C) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions ("Retained Distributions") made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (D) the holder may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, exchange, encumber or dispose of the Restricted Stock or any Retained Distributions during the Restriction Period; and (E) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in the Plan or the Restricted Stock agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below, or otherwise established by the Board or Committee, as the case may be, with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

(iii) Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (A) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Stock agreement referred to in Section 6(b)(iv) below, and (B) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeitedto the Company and the holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

10

(iv) Each Restricted Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the participant.

SECTION 7. Deferred Stock.

(a) Grant and Exercise. Deferred Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Stock shall be awarded, the number of shares of Deferred Stock to be awarded to any person, the duration of the period (the "Deferral Period") during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Deferred Stock will be deferred, and all the other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may condition the grant of the Deferred Stock upon the attainment of such factors or criteria as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine.

(b) Terms and Conditions. Each Deferred Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and Deferred Stock agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below, Deferred Stock awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period. At the expiration of the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vi) below, where applicable), share certificates shall be delivered to the participant, or his legal representative, in a number equal to the shares of Stock covered by the Deferred Stock award.

(ii) As determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of award, amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vi) below, where applicable) with respect to the number of shares covered by a Deferred Stock award may be paid to the participant currently or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional Deferred Stock.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of the Deferred Stock agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(vii) below and this Section 7 and
Section 12(g) below, upon termination of a participant's employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary for any reason during the Deferral Period (or the Additional Deferral Period referred to in Section 7(b)(vi) below, where applicable) for a given award, the Deferred Stock in question will vest or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of grant.

(iv) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any Deferred Stock award and/or waive the deferral limitations for all or any part of a Deferred Stock award.

Subject to any exceptions adopted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, such request must be made at least one year prior to expiration of the Deferral Period for such Deferred Stock award (or such installment).

(vii) Each Deferred Stock award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and the participant.

SECTION 8. Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Grant and Exercise. Other Stock-Based Awards, which may include performance shares and shares valued by reference to the performance of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with Stock Options, Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, such awards shall be made, the number of shares of Stock to be awarded pursuant to such awards, and all other terms and conditions of the awards. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may also provide for the grant of Stock under such awards upon the completion of a specified performance period.

(b) Terms and Conditions. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Shares of Stock subject to an Other Stock-Based Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which any applicable restriction or period of deferral lapses.

(ii) The recipient of an Other Stock-Based Award shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares covered by the award, as determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, at the time of the award. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Stock.

(iii) Any Other Stock-Based Award and any Stock covered by any Other Stock-Based Award shall vest or be forfeited to the extent so provided in the award agreement referred to in Section 8(b)(v) below, as determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be.

12

(iv) In the event of the participant's Retirement, Disability or death, or in cases of special circumstances, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may waive in whole or in part any or all of the limitations imposed hereunder (if any) with respect to any or all of an Other Stock-Based Award.

(v) Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, an agreement executed by the Company and by the participant.

SECTION 9. Change of Control Provisions.

(a) A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred on the tenth day after:

(i) any individual, corporation or other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner (as defined in the General Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company; or

(ii) the commencement of, or the first public announcement of the intention of any individual, firm, corporation or other entity or of any group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) to commence, a tender or exchange offer subject to Section 14(d)(1) of the Exchange Act for any class of the Company's capital stock; or

(iii) the shareholders of the Company approve (A) a definitive agreement for the merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another corporation pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company do not own, immediately after the transaction, more than 50% of the voting power of the corporation that survives, or (B) a definitive agreement for the sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (C) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

provided, however, that a "Change of Control" shall not be deemed to have taken place if beneficial ownership is acquired (A) directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise or conversion of another security unless the security so converted or exercised was itself acquired directly from the Company, or (B) by, or a tender or exchange offer is commenced or announced by, the Company, any profit-sharing, employee ownership or other employee benefit plan of the Company; or any trustee of or fiduciary with respect to any such plan when acting in such capacity.

(b) In the event of a "Change of Control" as defined in Section 9(a) above, awards granted under the Plan will be subject to the following provisions, unless the provisions of this Section 9 are suspended or terminated by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Board prior to the occurrence of such a "Change of Control":

13

(i) all outstanding Stock Options which have been outstanding for at least one year shall become exercisable in full, whether or not otherwise exercisable at such time, and any such Stock Option shall remain exercisable in full thereafter until it expires pursuant to its terms; and

(ii) all restrictions and deferral limitations contained in Restricted Stock awards, Deferred Stock awards and Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall lapse.

SECTION 10. Amendments and Termination.

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend any of the provisions of the Plan, and may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective unless and until it has been duly approved by the holders of the outstanding shares of Stock if the failure to obtain such approval would adversely affect the compliance of the Plan with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other award theretofore granted under the Plan; provided, however, that subject to Section 3 above, no such amendment may be made by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, which in any material respect impairs the rights of the optionee or participant without the optionee's or participant's consent, except for such amendments which are made to cause the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3.

SECTION 11. Unfunded Status of Plan.

The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a participant or optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such participant or optionee any rights that are greater than those creditor of the Company.

SECTION 12. General Provisions.

(a) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may require each person acquiring shares of Stock pursuant to an Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the optionee or participant is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof.

All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may deem to be advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or association upon which the Stock is then listed or traded, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of stock options and the awarding of stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

14

(c) Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.

(d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Option or other award under the Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional upon such payment or arrangements, and the Company or the participant's employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant from the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

(e) The Plan and all awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to choice of law provisions).

(f) Any Stock Option granted or other award made under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to awards under the Plan).

(g) A leave of absence, unless otherwise determined by the Board or Committee prior to the commencement thereof, shall not be considered a termination of employment. Any Stock Option granted or awards made under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment, so long as the holder continues to be an employee of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary.

(h) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Stock Option agreement, Restricted Stock agreement, Deferred Stock agreement or any Other Stock-Based Award agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbranced or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts or liabilities of the person entitled to such benefit.

(i) The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and awards under the Plan shall be subject to (A) all applicable laws,

15

rules and regulations, and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act, and (B) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or association on which the Stock may be listed or traded.

(j) If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan conflicts with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 as in effect from time to time, or with the requirements of any other applicable law, rule or regulation, and with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of said Rule 16b-3, and with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code. With respect to Incentive Stock Options, if the Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under
Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein.

(k) The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may terminate any Stock Option or other award made under the Plan if a written agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 30 days after such agreement has been delivered to the optionee or participant for his or her execution.

(l) The grant of awards pursuant to the Plan shall not in any way effect the right or power of the Company to make reclassifications, reorganizations or other changes of or to its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, liquidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 13. Effective Date of Plan.

The Plan shall be effective as of the date of the approval and adoption thereof at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company.

SECTION 14. Term of Plan.

No Stock Option, Restricted Stock Award, Deferred Stock award or Other Stock-Based Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan, but awards granted on or prior to such tenth anniversary may extend beyond that date.
