                               GENERAL INFORMATION

         This Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of
BIOMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the
"Company"), in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the
Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 20, 2002, at the
offices of the Company located at 1533 Monrovia Avenue, Newport Beach,
California 92663 at 10:00 a.m, and at any and all adjournments thereof (the
"Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting has been called for the purposes set forth
in the accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Notice").
This Proxy Statement, and the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended
May 31, 2002, will be mailed on or about October 5, 2002, to each stockholder of
record as of the close of business on September 30, 2002.

RECORD DATE AND OUTSTANDING SHARES

         At the close of business on September 30, 2002, the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual
Meeting (the "Record Date"), there was outstanding and entitled to vote an
aggregate of approximately 5,258,532 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.08
par value per share (the "Common Stock"), held of record by approximately 1,018
stockholders. However, brokers and other institutions hold many shares on behalf
of the Company's stockholders and the Company has been informed that there are
approximately 2,866 beneficial owners.

QUORUM

         The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held of record
on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a quorum for the purposes of
electing directors and each other items of business. The holder of each share of
Common Stock held of record on the Record Date is entitled to vote on each
matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

VOTES REQUIRED

         The affirmative vote of holders representing a majority of the shares
of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to elect
the directors and for approval of the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan.

VOTING RIGHTS

         Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held as of the Record Date.

EFFECT OF ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES

         If the stockholder or his, her or its broker marks "Abstain" on a duly
submitted proxy card representing such stockholder's shares, or if the
stockholders attend the Annual Meeting in person, but elect not to vote on a
particular proposal or proposals, then such shares will be considered present at
the meeting for purposes of determining the required quorums and (i) will not be
taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors, and
(ii) will be considered shares entitled to vote with respect to Proposal 2, and
therefore will have the effect of a vote against that proposal.



         Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not
entitled to vote on some matters unless they receive voting instructions from
their customers. "Broker non-votes" are votes that could have been cast on the
matter in question if the brokers had received their customers' instructions,
and as to which the broker has notified the Company on a proxy form in
accordance with industry practice or has otherwise advised us that it lacks
voting authority. Shares represented by brokers' non-votes (i) will be
considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining the required
quorums, (ii) will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the
election of directors; and (iii) will not be counted as a vote cast with respect
to Proposal No. 2.

         All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for
the meeting, who will separately tabulate, for each proposal, affirmative and
negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

         Under Delaware law, stockholders are not entitled to any appraisal
rights with respect to the approval of any of the proposals described in this
Proxy Statement.

PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION

         The Proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is solicited on behalf of
the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting. The
solicitation of proxies is being made only by use of the mails and the cost of
preparing, assembling and mailing these proxy materials will be paid by the
Company. Following the mailing of this Proxy Statement, directors, officers and
regular employees of the Company may solicit proxies by mail, telephone,
telegraph or personal interview. Such persons will receive no additional
compensation for such services. Brokerage houses and other nominees, fiduciaries
and custodians nominally holding shares of the Company's common stock, $0.08 par
value (the "Common Stock"), of record will be requested to forward proxy
soliciting material to the beneficial owners of such shares. The Company will,
upon request, reimburse such parties for their reasonable expenses in forwarding
proxy materials to the beneficial owners.

TERMS OF THE PROXY

         The enclosed Proxy indicates the matters to be acted upon at the Annual
Meeting and provides boxes to be marked to indicate the manner in which the
stockholder's shares are to be voted with respect to such matters. By
appropriately marking the boxes, a stockholder may specify whether the proxy
shall vote for or against or shall be without authority to vote the shares
represented by the Proxy. The Proxy also confers upon the proxy discretionary
voting authority with respect to such other business as may properly come before
the Annual Meeting.

         If the Proxy is executed properly and is received by the proxy prior to
the Annual Meeting, the shares represented by the Proxy will be voted. Where a
stockholder specifies a choice with respect to the matter to be acted upon, the
shares will be voted in accordance with such specification. Any Proxy which is
executed in such a manner as not to withhold authority to vote for the election
of the specified nominees as directors shall be deemed to confer such authority.
A Proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by giving written

results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company's internal
controls, and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. The
audit committee met once during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.

         In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the
Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved)
that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2002 for filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Committee and the Board have also recommended the
selection of the Company's independent auditors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Although not prohibited by the Company's Bylaws, directors receive no
direct payment for their services as directors, but they have been, and may in
the future be, granted options to purchase the Company's securities. The
compensation of directors is subject to review and adjustment from time to time
by the Board of Directors.

                                        9




SECTION 16(a) - BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more
than 10% of the Company's stock, to file initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are
required by applicable regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company and information involving securities transactions of which the Company
is aware, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002,
all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers,
directors and greater than 10% beneficial stockholders were complied with.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002, the Company leased
approximately 21,000 square feet of space in Newport Beach, California. The
facilities are leased from an individual and JSJ Management, of which Ms. Janet
Moore is a partner. During fiscal 2002, the Company paid a total of $179,000 in
rent. During fiscal 2002 the Company entered into a four-year lease for these
facilities. The facilities are currently being used for the Company's diagnostic
test kit research and development, manufacturing, marketing and administration.

        On November 9, 2000 and July 10, 2001 the Company sold 22,375 shares
plus 11,188 warrants and 69,444 shares plus 34,722 warrants to the Janet Moore
Trust of which Ms. Moore is a partner, at a purchase price of $1.34 and $.72 per
share, respectively. The exercise price of the warrants is $2.00 and $1.50,
respectively. On July 10, 2001 the Company sold 4,166 shares plus 2,083 warrants
of Common Stock to Mr. Irani at a purchase price of $.72 per share. The exercise
price of the warrants is $1.50 per share.

     On September 12, 2000, a shareholder and director of the Company entered
into an agreement to give the Company up to a $500,000 line of credit. The line
of credit bears interest at 8%, is secured by Biomerica accounts receivable and
inventory. The line of credit was renewed August 28, 2002 and is scheduled to
expire September 12, 2003. Another shareholder and director loaned the Company
$10,000 during the fiscal year ended 2002.

PROPOSAL NO. 2    APPROVAL OF 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

     On July 15, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the
Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), subject to stockholder
approval. The Board of Directors believes that the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders will be best served by approving the Plan. The Board
believes the Plan will enhance the Company's ability to recruit and maintain
qualified management and personnel. The following summary description of the
Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.

     PURPOSE. The Plan is intended to provide incentive to key employees,
officers, directors and others expected to provide significant services to the
Company, to encourage proprietary interest in the Company, to encourage such key
employees to remain in the employ of the Company, to attract new employees with
outstanding qualifications, and to afford additional incentive to others to
increase their efforts in providing significant services to the Company.

     ADMINISTRATION. The Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board
of directors (the "Stock Option Committee") which has been established by the
Board and which will at all times be composed of "non-employee directors";
provided, however, that the Board may abolish the Stock Option Committee at any
time and revest administration of the Plan in the Board or a reconstituted Stock
Option Committee. No member of the Stock Option Committee will vote on any
matter affecting his or her own compensation.

     TYPES OF AWARDS. The Company's Plan provides for the grant of (i) incentive
stock options ("ISOs") within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and (ii) stock options that are not
intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code ("NQSOS"; collectively with
ISOs, "Options"). The Plan also authorizes the award of (i) shares of restricted
Common Stock ("Restricted Stock"), (ii) dividend equivalent rights ("DERs"),
(iii) phantom stock rights ("PSRs") and (iv) stock appreciation rights ("SARs").


                                       10


     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS. Options granted under the Plan will vest
and become exercisable as determined by the Stock Option Committee or the Board
of Directors. Awards will be subject to the terms and restrictions of the awards
made by the Stock Option Committee or the Board of Directors. Option and award
recipients shall enter into a written stock option agreement with the Company.
The Stock Option Committee or the Board of Directors has discretionary authority
to select participants from among eligible persons and to determine, at the time
an option or award is granted, when and in what increments shares covered by the
Option or award will vest and may be purchased. In the case of an Option, the
Stock Option Committee or the Board of Directors also has the discretionary
authority to determine, at the time such Option is granted, whether the Option
is intended to be an ISO or a NQSO, provided, however, that certain restrictions
applicable to ISOs are mandatory, including a requirement that ISOs not be
issued for less than 100% of the then fair market value of the Common Stock
(110% in the case of a grantee who holds more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock) and a maximum exercise period of ten (10) years (five (5) years in the
case of a grantee who holds more than 10% of the out- standing Commmon Stock).
Fair market value means, as of any given date, the value of one share of Common
Stock, determined as follows: (i) if the shares are traded on an exchange, the
price at which the shares traded at the close of business on the date of
valuation; (ii) if the shares are traded over-the-counter on the NASDAQ System,
the closing price if one is available, or the mean between the bid and asked
prices quoted on the NASDAQ System at the close of business on the date of
valuation; and (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) applies, then the fair market value
as determined by the Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee in good
faith. Such deter- mination will be conclusive and binding on all persons.

     ELIGIBLE PERSONS. Officers, directors and employees of the Company and
other persons ex- pected to provide significant services to the Company are
eligible to participate in the Plan. ISOs may be granted to the officers and key
employees of the Company. NQSOs and other awards may be granted to the
directors, officers, key employees, agents and consultants of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, provided that the Stock Option Committee finds that the
value of services rendered or to be rendered to the Company is at least equal to
the value of the awards being granted.

     Under current law, ISOs may not be granted to any director of the Company
who is not an employee, or to directors, officers and other employees of
entities unrelated to the Company.

     SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. Subject to anti-dilution provisions for stock
splits, stock dividends and similar events, the Plan authorizes the grant of
Options to purchase up to One Million (1,000,000) shares of the Company's Common
Stock; provided, however, that at no time shall be granted to purchase an
aggregate of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

     TERM OF THE PLAN. Unless previously terminated by the Board of Directors,
the Plan will terminate on July 13, 2012, and no options may be granted under
the Plan thereafter, but existing options will remain in effect until the
options are exercised or terminated by their terms.

     TERM OF OPTIONS. Each stock option must terminate no more than ten (10)
years from the date it is granted (or five (5) years in the case of ISOs granted
to an employee who is deemed to own in excess of ten percent (10%) of the
combined voting power of the Company's outstanding equity stock). Stock options
may be granted on terms providing for exercise either in whole or in part at any
time or times during their restrictive terms, or only in specified percentages
at the stated time periods or intervals during the term of the stock option.

     OPTION EXERCISE. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the
Plan is payable in full in cash, or its equivalent as determined by the Stock
Option Committee. The Company may make loans available to option holders to
exercise stock options evidenced by a promissory note executed by the option
holder and secured by a pledge of Common Stock with a fair market value at least
equal to the principal of the promissory note, unless otherwise determined by
the Stock Option Committee.

     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board of Directors may, without
affecting any outstanding stock options, from time to time revise or amend the
Plan, and may suspend or discontinue it at any time. However, no such revision
or amendment may, without stock- holder approval, increase the number of shares
subject to the Plan, modify the class of participants eligible to receive
options granted under the Plan or extend the maximum option term under the Plan.


                                       11


     COMMON STOCK. The Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is
currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol BMRA.OB. The
estimated per share market value of the Common Stock is approximately $.30,
based on the closing price of the Common Stock as of September 17, 2002. Based
on this valuation, the One Million (1,000,000) shares reserved for issuance
under the Plan have an aggregate market value of $300,000.

     CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. Following is a brief summary of
the principal Federal income tax consequences of awards under the Plan. This
summary is not an exhaustive description and does not describe all applicable
federal, state or local tax laws.

     INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. A Plan participant is not subject to federal
income tax at the time of either the grant or the exercise of an ISO. In the
year in which an ISO is exercised, however, the amount by which the fair market
value of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of an ISO exceeds
the exercise price will constitute an adjustment to the option holder's income
in computing alternative minimum taxable income. Such adjustment could result in
the imposition of, or increase the amount of, the option holder's "alternative
minimum tax" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
If an option holder does not dispose of such shares of Common Stock within two
(2) years after the ISO was granted or one (1) year after the ISO was exercised,
whichever is later (any such disposition, a "dis- qualifying event"), then any
gain or loss recognized upon such disposition generally will be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss. In such event, the Company will not receive a
tax deduction on either the exercise of the ISO or on the sale of the underlying
Common Stock.

     If an option holder makes a "disqualifying disposition," the option holder
will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date the ISO is exercised minus the
exercise price, or (ii) the sales price re- ceived by the option holder on the
disposition of such Common Stock minus the exercise price. In such event, the
Company will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary
income recognized by the option holder. If a sale is a disqualifying
disposition, the option holder also may realize short-term or long-term capital
gain or loss, if such shares constitute capital assets in an option holder's
hands. The gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the ISO and the sales
price of the shares.

     NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. No income is realized by an option holder upon
the grant of an NQSO. Upon exercise of an NQSQ, however, the amount by which the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise exceeds the
exercise price will be taxed as ordinary income to an option holder and the
Company will be entitled to a deduction in an equal amount. Such amount will not
be an adjustment to income in computing alternative minimum taxable income. Upon
subsequent sales of Common Stock received upon exercise of NQSO's, an option
holder may realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon
the holding period of the shares, if such shares constitute capital assets in
the option holder's hands. The gain or loss will be measured by the difference
between the sales price and the tax basis of the shares sold. The tax basis for
this purpose will be the sum of the exercise price and the amount of ordinary
income realized by the option holder as a result of such exercise.

     RESTRICTED STOCK. A participant who has been awarded Restricted Stock will
not realize taxable income at the time of the award, and the Company will not be
entitled to a deduction at that time; provided, however, that the participant
may elect to treat the value of the shares as income at the time of receipt
(without regard to restrictions) by filing with the IRS (with a copy to the
Company) an election under Section 83(b) of the Code no later than thirty (30)
days after the issuance date. When the restrictions on the Restricted Stock
lapse, the parti- cipant will have ordinary income and the Company will have a
corresponding deduction. The measure of such income and deduction will be the
fair market value of the shares at the time the restrictions lapse.

     SARS AND PSRS. No income is realized by a holder of an SAR or PSR at the
time the SAR or PSR is granted; however, upon exercise, the amount of cash or
the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock received will be taxable as
ordinary income to the holder thereof and the Company will be entitled to a
deduction in an equal amount.


                                       12


     DERS. A recipient of a DER award will not realize taxable income at the
time of grant and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction at that time.
When a dividend equivalent is paid, the participant will recognize ordinary
income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction. The measure of the
income and deduction will be the amount of cash and the fair market value of the
shares at the time the DER is paid.

     ONE MILLION DOLLAR COMPENSATION LIMIT. The Code limits the deductibility
(under certain circumstances) of compensation that exceeds One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) annually that is paid by the Company to its president and to its
four (4) most highly compensated officers (other than the president) as
determined at the end of the Company's taxable year. The Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder provide certain exclusions from the amounts
in- cluded in the One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) limitation, including
compensation that is "qualified performance-based compensation" within the
meaning of the regulations. The Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements set
forth in the regulations with respect to "qualified performance-based
compensation" with respect to Options that are exercisable at an exercise price
of not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the
date of grant. However, if an Option is exercisable at a price less than 100% of
the price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, the compensatory
element of such NQSO (i.e., the excess of such fair market value over the
exercise price) will not constitute "qualified per- formance-based
compensation," unless the exercise of Options is contingent upon the attainment
of pre-established performance goals.

     MISCELLANEOUS. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401 of the Code. In
addition, the Plan is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The Plan is not
intended to be a funded plan.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE
PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE 2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN.

AUDIT FEES

         The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the
audit of the Company's and subsidiaries' annual financial statements for the
year ended May 31, 2002 was $53,500. The Company was billed a total of $34,500
for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Form
10-QSB for the three quarters during fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

         There were no fees billed by the principal accountants for professional
services with respect to financial information systems design and implementation
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002.

ALL OTHER FEES

         The aggregate fees billed for services rendered during the fiscal year

                            2002 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


ARTICLE 1.  INTRODUCTION.

     The Plan was adopted by the Board effective July 15, 2002. The purpose of
the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of
stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the
attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with
exceptional qualifications and (c) 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 or Options (which may constitute incentive stock options or
nonstatutory stock options).

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of California.

ARTICLE 2.  ADMINISTRATION.

         2.1 COMMITTEE COMPOSITION. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more Outside
Directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. In addition, the
composition of the Committee shall satisfy:

         (a)      Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission
                  may establish for for administrators acting under plans
                  intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its
                  successor) under the Exchange Act; and

         (b)      Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may
                  establish for outside directors acting under plans intended to
                  qualify for exemption under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

         2.2 COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES. The Committee shall (a) review
management's recommendation as to the Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants who are to receive awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type,
number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards,
(c)interpret the Plan and (d) make all other decisions relating to the operation
of the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems
appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee's determinations under the Plan
shall be final and binding on all persons.

         2.3 COMMITTEE FOR NON-OFFICER GRANTS. 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 2.1
Such secondary committee may ad- minster the Plan with respect to Employees and
Consultants who are not considered officers or directors of the Company under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or covered employees under Section 162(m)(3) of
the Code, 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 2.3, any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include
such secondary committee.

ARTICLE 3.  SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

         3.1 BASIC LIMITATION. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be
authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of
Options and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed (a) One
Million (1,000,000) plus (b) the Additional Common Shares described in Sections
3.2 and 3.3. The limitations of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 shall be
subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9.

         3.2 ANNUAL INCREASE IN SHARES. As of the first day of each calendar
year, com- mencing with January 1, 2003, the aggregate number of Options and
Restricted Shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall automatically
increase by a number equal to the lesser of (a) 1.5% of the total number of
Common Shares then outstanding (assuming for this pur- pose the conversion to
common stock of any outstanding convertible securities) or (b) 500,000.




         3.3 ADDITIONAL SHARES. If Options are forfeited or terminate for any
other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Common Shares shall
again become available for the grant of Options or Restricted Shares under the
Plan. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Options
are forfeited, then such Common Shares shall again become available for the
grant of NSOs and Restricted Shares under the Plan. The aggregate number of
Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs shall
not be increased when Restricted Shares or other Common Shares are forfeited.

ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.

         4.1 NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED SHARES. Only Employees,
Outside Direc- tors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of NSOs and
Restricted Shares.

         4.2 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Only Employees who are common-law
employees of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the
grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or any
of its Parents or Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO
unless the requirements set forth in section 422(c)(5) of the Code are
satisfied.

ARTICLE 5.  OPTIONS.

         5.1 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Each grant of an Option under the Plan
shall be evi- denced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the
Company. Such option shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and
may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The
provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan
need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in
the Optionee's other compensation.

         5.2 NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Common Shares subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such num- ber in accordance with Article 9. Options granted to any
Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than
250,000 Common Shares, except that Options granted to a new Employee in the
fiscal year of the Company in which his or her service as an Employee first
commences shall not cover more than 500,000 Common Shares. The limitations set
forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in ac- cordance
with Article 9.

         5.3 EXERCISE PRICE. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price; provided that the Exercise Price under an ISO shall in no event
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of
grant and the Exercise Price under an NSO shall in no event be less than 85% of
the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. In the case of an
NSO, a Stock Option Agreement may specify an exercise Price that varies in
accordance with a predetermined formula while the NSO is outstanding.

         5.4 VESTING, EXERCISABILITY AND TERM. Unless otherwise provided in the
Stock Option Agreement, an Optionee's right to exercise the Option shall vest
pro rata over a period of three (3) years with 25% of the Option vesting on the
date of grant, and 25% of the Option vesting on each of the first, second and
third anniversaries of the date of grant. The Stock Option Agreement shall also
specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no
event exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may
provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death,
disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to
the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service.

         5.5 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. Notwithstanding Section 5.4 above,
each Option shall automatically fully vest (e.g. become exercisable) as to all
or part of the Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change
in Control (as defined in Section 15.4 below) occurs with respect to the
Company, subject to the following limitations:

         (a)      In the case of an ISO, the acceleration of exercisability
                  shall not occur without the Optionee's written consent.




         (b)      If the Company and the other party to the transaction
                  constituting a Change in Control agree that such transaction
                  is to be treated as a "pooling of interests" for financial
                  reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is so
                  treated, then the acceleration of exercisability shall not
                  occur to the extent that the Company's independent accountants
                  and such other party's independent accoun- tants separately
                  determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude
                  the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.

         5.6 MODIFICATION OR ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. Within the limitations of
the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding options or may
accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company
or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new options for the same or a
different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the
consent of the Optionee, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under
such Option.

         5.7 BUYOUT PROVISIONS. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or
(b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out the vested portion of an Option
previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and
conditions as the Committee shall establish.

ARTICLE 6.  PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.

         6.1 GENERAL RULE. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued
upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the
time when such Common Shares are purchased, except as follows:

         (a)      In the case of an ISO granted under the Plan, payment shall be
                  made only pursuant to the express provisions of the applicable
                  Stock Option Agreement. the Stock Option Agreement may specify
                  that payment may be made in any form(s) described in this
                  Article 6.

         (b)      In the case of an NSO, the Committee may at any time accept
                  payment in any Form(s) described in this Article 6.

         6.2 EXERCISE/SALE. To the extent that this Section 6.2 is applicable,
all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by
delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a
securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common
Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales
proceeds to the Company.

         6.3 EXERCISE/PLEDGE. To the extent that this Section 6.3 is applicable,
all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by
delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to
pledge all or part of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan to a
securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and
to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company.

         6.4 PROMISSORY NOTE. To the extent that this Section 6.4 is applicable,
all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by
delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory
note. However, the par value of the Common Shares being purchased under the
Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents.

         6.5 OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. To the extent that this Section 6.5 is
applicable, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may
be paid in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations
and rules.

ARTICLE 7.  AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANTS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS.

         7.1 INITIAL GRANTS. Each Outside Director shall receive a one-time
grant of a NSO covering 20,000 Common Shares (subject to adjustment under
Article 9). Such NSO shall be granted on the date when such Outside Director
first joins the Board and shall become exercisable in 36 equal installments at
monthly intervals over the 36-month period com- mencing on the date of grant.




         7.2 ANNUAL GRANTS. Upon the conclusion of each regular meeting of the
Company's stockholders, each Outside Director who will continue serving as a
member of the Board thereafter shall receive a NSO covering an amount of Common
Shares to be determined by the Board from year to year (subject to adjustment
under Article 9), except that such NSO shall not be granted in the fiscal year
in which the same Outside Director received the NSO described in Section 7.1.
NSOs granted under this Section 7.2 shall become exercisable in full on the
first anniversary of the date of grant.

         7.3 ACCELERATED EXERCISABILITY. All NSOs granted to an Outside Director
under this Article 7 shall become exercisable in full in the event of:

         (a)      the termination of such Outside Directors service because of
                  death, total and permanent disability or retirement at or
                  after age 70; or

         (b)      a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15.4 below) with
                  respect to the Company, except as provided in the next
                  following sentence. If the Com- pany and the other party to
                  the transaction constituting a Change in control agree that
                  such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of interests"
                  for financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in
                  fact is so treated, then the acceleration of exercisability
                  shall not occur to the extent that the Company's independent
                  accountants and such other party's independent accountants
                  separately determine in good faith that such acceleration
                  would preclude the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.

         7.4 EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price under all NSOs granted to an
Outside Director under this Article 7 shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market
Value of a Common Share on the date of grant, payable in one of the forms
described in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4.

         7.5 TERM. Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, all
NSOs granted to an Outside Director under this Article 7 shall terminate on the
earliest of (a) the 10th anniversary of the date of grant, (b) the date 3 months
after the termination of such Outside Director's service for any reason other
than death or total and permanent disability or (c)the date 12 months after the
termination of such Outside Director's service because of death or total and
permanent disability.

         7.6 AFFILIATES OF OUTSIDE DIRECTORS. The Committee may provide that the
NSOs that otherwise would be granted to an Outside Director under this Article 7
shall instead be granted to an affiliate of such Outside Director. Such
affiliate shall then be deemed to be an Outside Director for purposes of the
Plan, provided that the service- related vesting and termination provisions
pertaining to the NSOs shall be applied with regard to the service of the
Outside Director.

ARTICLE 8.  RESTRICTED SHARES.

         8.1 RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT. Each grant of Restricted Shares under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the
recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not
inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

         8.2 PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted
Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents,
full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent
that an Award consists of newly issued restricted Shares, the Award recipient
shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such
Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents or past services
rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may
determine.




         8.3 VESTING CONDITIONS. Unless otherwise provided in the Restricted
Stock Agreement, the Restricted Shares shall vest pro rata over a period of
three (3) years with 25% of the Restricted Shares vesting on the date of grant,
and 25% of the Restricted shares vesting on each of the first, second and third
anniversaries of the date of grant. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for
accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, disability or
retirement or other events. All Restricted shares shall become vested in the
event that a Change in Control (as defined in Section 15.4) occurs with respect
to the Company, except as provided in the next following sentence. If the
Company and the other party to the transaction constituting a Change in Control
agree that such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of interests" for
financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is so treated,
then the acceleration of vesting shall not occur to the extent that the
Company's independent accountants and such other party's independent accountants
separately determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude the use
of "pooling of interests" accounting.

         8.4 VOTING AND DIVIDEND RIGHTS. The holders of Restricted Shares
awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as
the Company's other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may
require that the holders of Restricted shares invest any cash dividends received
in additional Restricted Shares. Such ad- ditional Restricted Shares shall be
subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to
which the dividends were paid.

ARTICLE 9.  PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

         9.1 ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a
declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an
amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a combination
or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or
otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-
off or similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of (a) the number of
Options and Restricted shares available for future Awards under Article 3, (b)
the limitations set forth in Section 5.2, (c) the number of NSOs to be granted
to Outside Directors under Article 7; (d) the number of Common Shares covered by
each outstanding Option or (e) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option.
Except as provided in this Article 9, a Participant shall have no rights by
reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities con-
vertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of
stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or
decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

         9.2 DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. To the extent not previously exercised,
Options shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of
the Company.

         9.3 REORGANIZATIONS. In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Options and Restricted Shares shall
be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall
provide for (a) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if
the Company is a surviving corporation, (b) the assumption of the outstanding
Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary, (c) the
substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own
awards for the outstanding Awards, (d) full exercisability or vesting and
accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards or (e) settlement of the full
value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents followed by
cancellation of such Awards.

ARTICLE 10.  DEFERRAL OF DELIVERY OF SHARES.

         The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require an
Optionee to have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
Optionee as a result of the exercise of an Option converted into amounts
credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Optionee by the
Committee as an entry on the Company's books. Such amounts shall be determined
by reference to the Fair Market Value of such Common Shares as of the date when
they otherwise would have been delivered to such Optionee. A deferred
compensation account established under this Article 10 may be credited with
interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Committee. An
Optionee for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than
those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an
unfounded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the applicable agree- ment between such Optionee and the
Company. If the conversion of Options is permitted or required, the Committee
(in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms pertaining to
such conversion, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred
compensation accounts established under this Article 10.




ARTICLE 11.  AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.

         The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards
may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common
Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Restricted Shares
and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under
Article 3.

ARTICLE 12.  LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

         12.1 RETENTION RIGHTS. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the
Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain an Employee,
Outside Director or Consultant. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the service of any Employee, Outside
Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable
laws, the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written
employment agreement (if any).

         12.2 STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no dividend rights,
voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares
covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such
Common Shares is issued or, in the case of an Option, the time when he or she
becomes entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing a notice of exercise
and paying the Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or
other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as
expressly provided in the Plan.

         12.3 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. Any other provision of the Plan
notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the
Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such
approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the
right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant
to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the
issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing
or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing.

ARTICLE 13.  WITHHOLDING TAXES.

         13.1 GENERAL. To the extent required by applicable federal, state,
local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding
tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan
until such obligations are satisfied.

ARTICLE 14.  FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

         14.1 TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become
effective on _________, 2002. The Plan shall remain in effect until it is
terminated under Section 14.2, except that no ISOs shall be granted on or after
the 10th anniversary of the later of (a) the date when the Board adopted the
Plan or (b) the date when the Board adopted the most recent increase in the
number of Common Shares available under Article 3 which was approved by the
Company's stockholders.

         14.2 AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. The Board may, at any time and for any
reason, amend or terminate the Plan. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject
to the approval of the Company's stockholders only to the extent required by
applicable laws, regulations or rules. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan
after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment
thereof, shall not affect any Award previously granted under the Plan.
