Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees Moore Stephens Frost did not render any services related to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

Prior to July 9, 1999, Lahaina's principal accountants were Kenneth A. Walters, P.A. As a result of the merger with Accent, Lahaina had engaged Deloitte and Touche LLP as its principal accounting firm. On September 22, 1999, Lahaina filed a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission notifying the commission of the change in Lahaina's certifying accountants. Lahaina had no disagreements with Kenneth A. Walters, PA on any substantive matters prior to his resignation. On July 6, 2000, Deloitte and Touche LLP resigned as principal accounting firm. On July 14, 2000, Lahaina filed a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission notifying the commission of Deloitte's action.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF MOORE STEPHENS FROST TO SERVE AS LAHAINA'S INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2002. PROPOSAL NO. 3 CHANGE OF NAME Lahaina is asking the Stockholders to approve an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the name of the company from "Lahaina Acquisitions, Inc." to "UCAP Incorporated." Attached to this Proxy Statement is Appendix A which contains the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Adoption of the amendment to Lahaina's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the name of Lahaina to "UCAP Incorporated" requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all outstanding shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having been voted on the proposal. The Board of Directors believes that the name "UCAP Incorporated" more accurately reflects both the current primary nature of Lahiana's business, i.e., the mortgage banking business through United Capital Mortgage Corporation, as well as the intended primary business focus of Lahaina in the future. RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to change the name of the company from "Lahaina Acquisitions, Inc." to "UCAP Incorporated." PROPOSAL 4 APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LAHAINA ACQUISITIONS, INC. STOCK PLAN At the Meeting, Stockholders will be asked to approve and ratify the Lahaina Acquisitions, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Plan as amended and restated effective April 26, 2002 (the "Plan"). The Plan became effective originally on October 1, 1999, and was amended and restated previously effective June 15, 2000. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (collectively, "stock rights"). The Board of Directors has adopted the Plan, subject to Stockholder approval. WHY SHOULD YOU APPROVE THE PLAN? Lahaina believes that long term equity compensation in the form of stock rights is critical in order to attract qualified personnel to Lahaina and to retain and provide incentive to current personnel, particularly in light of the increasingly competitive environment for talented personnel. If the Plan is not approved at the Meeting, grants under the Plan will not be eligible to be incentive stock options. WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES OF THE PLAN? The purposes of the Plan are to facilitate the ownership of Lahaina's stock by officers, other employees, directors and consultants of the company, thereby aligning their interests with those of Lahaina Stockholders, and to assist the company in attracting, motivating, and retaining key personnel. WHAT ARE THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE PLAN? GRANT OF STOCK RIGHTS. Stock rights may be granted to key employees, including executive officers of Lahaina, its subsidiaries and affiliates, directors and consultants as determined by the Plan Committee, which Committee consists of two members of the board of Directors (the "Plan Committee"). The number of employees participating in the Plan will vary from year to year. The shares to be granted with respect to stock rights under the Plan shall be shares of Common Stock, which may consist, in whole or in part, of treasury stock or authorized but unissued stock not reserved for any other purpose, and may not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the first day of each fiscal year. There are currently ___________ shares available under the Plan, of which ____________ are outstanding. In the event of certain changes in Lahaina's capital structure affecting the Common Stock, the Plan Committee may make appropriate adjustments in the number and kinds of shares that may be awarded and in the number and kinds of shares covered by options then outstanding under the Plan, and, where applicable, exercise price of outstanding options under the Plan. The Plan will be administered by the Plan Committee. The Plan Committee may grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock that are either "qualified," which includes those awards that satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code for incentive stock options, or "nonqualified," which includes those awards that are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of the options will, unless the Plan Committee determines otherwise in the case of nonqualified options, not be less than such Common Stock's fair market value at the time of grant. The exercise price of the options is payable in cash or its equivalent or by exchanging shares of Common Stock owned by the participant, through an arrangement with a broker approved by Lahaina where payment of the exercise price is accomplished with the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, or by a combination of the foregoing. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. The options will generally have a term of ten (10)years, unless the Plan Committee specifies a shorter term, and will become exercisable following the performance of a minimum period of service or the satisfaction of performance goals, as determined by the Plan Committee. If an option holder ceases employment with Lahaina as a result of the holder's death, disability or retirement, the holder, or his or her beneficiary or legal representative, may exercise any then exercisable option for a period of one year, or a greater or lesser period as determined by the Plan Committee at grant, but in no event after the date the option otherwise expires. If an option holder's employment is terminated for any other reason, the holder may exercise any then exercisable option for a period not exceeding 60 days as determined by the Plan Committee, but in no event after the date the option otherwise expires; provided that if the holder's employment is terminated for cause all of his or her options will immediately terminate, regardless of whether then exercisable.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF THE BENEFITS THAT DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES CAN OBTAIN UNDER THE PLAN?

Lahaina cannot currently determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to options that may be granted in the future to executive officers, directors, employees and consultants under the Plan. WHAT IS THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AWARDS OF OPTIONS? The Plan is not qualified under the provisions of section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. On exercise of a nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan, an optionee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value on the date of exercise of the shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of the option over the exercise price. If the optionee is one of our employees, that income will be subject to the withholding of Federal income tax. The optionee's tax basis in those shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise of the option, and his holding period for those shares will begin on that date. If an optionee pays for shares of Common Stock on exercise of an option by delivering shares of our Common Stock, the optionee will not recognize gain or loss on the shares delivered, even if their fair market value at the time of exercise differs from the optionee's tax basis in them. The optionee, however, otherwise will be taxed on the exercise of the option in the manner described above as if he had paid the exercise price in cash. If a separate identifiable stock certificate is issued for that number of shares equal to the number of shares delivered on exercise of the option, the optionee's tax basis in the shares represented by that certificate will be equal to his tax basis in the shares delivered, and his holding period for those shares will include his holding period for the shares delivered. The optionee's tax basis and holding period for the additional shares received on exercise of the option will be the same as if the optionee had exercised the option solely in exchange for cash. Lahaina will be entitled to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes equal to the amount of ordinary income taxable to the optionee, provided that amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense for Lahaina and is reasonable in amount, and either the employee includes that amount in income or Lahaina timely satisfies its reporting requirements with respect to that amount. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options that qualify as "incentive stock options" as defined in section 422 of the Code. Under the Code, an optionee generally is not subject to tax upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. In addition, if the optionee holds a share received on exercise of an incentive stock option for at least two years from the date the option was granted and at least one year from the date the option was exercised (the "Required Holding Period"), the difference, if any, between the amount realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of that share and the holder's tax basis in that share will be long-term capital gain or loss. If, however, an optionee disposes of a share acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option before the end of the Required Holding Period (a "Disqualifying Disposition"), the optionee generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of the Disqualifying Disposition equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the share on the date the incentive stock option was exercised over the exercise price. If, however, the Disqualifying Disposition is a sale or exchange on which a loss, if realized, would be recognized for Federal income tax purposes, and if the sales proceeds are less than the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee will not exceed the gain, if any, realized on the sale. If the amount realized on a Disqualifying Disposition exceeds the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise of the option, that excess will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on whether the holding period for the share exceeds one year. An optionee who exercises an incentive stock option by delivering shares of Common Stock acquired previously pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option before the expiration of the Required Holding Period for those shares is treated as making a Disqualifying Disposition of those shares. This rule prevents "pyramiding" the exercise of an incentive stock option (that is, exercising an incentive stock option for one share and using that share, and others so acquired, to exercise successive incentive stock options) without the imposition of current income tax. For purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount by which the fair market value of a share of Common Stock acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option exceeds the exercise price of that option generally will be an adjustment included in the optionee's alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which the option is exercised. If, however, there is a Disqualifying Disposition of the share in the year in which the option is exercised, there will be no adjustment with respect to that share. If there is a Disqualifying Disposition in a later year, no income with respect to the Disqualifying Disposition is included in the optionee's alternative minimum taxable income for that year. In computing alternative minimum taxable income, the tax basis of a share acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option is increased by the amount of the adjustment taken into account with respect to that share for alternative minimum tax purposes in the year the option is exercised. Lahaina is not allowed an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option or the disposition of a share acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option after the Required Holding Period. However, if there is a Disqualifying Disposition of a share, we are allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income includible in income by the optionee, provided that amount constitutes an ordinary and necessary business expense for Lahaina and is reasonable in amount, and either the optionee includes that amount in income or Lahaina timely satisfies its reporting requirements with respect to that amount. SECTION 162 LIMITATIONS. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 added Section 162(m) to the Code, which generally disallows a public company's tax deduction for compensation to covered employees in excess of $1 million in any tax year beginning on or after January 1, 1994. Compensation that qualifies as "performance-based compensation" is excluded from the $1 million deductibility cap, and therefore remains fully deductible by Lahaina to the extent that Lahaina pays it. Lahaina intends that options granted to employees whom the Plan Committee expects to be covered employees at the time a deduction arises in connection with such options, will qualify as such "performance-based compensation," so that such options will not be subject to the Section 162(m) deductibility cap of $1 million. Future changes in Section 162(m) or the regulations thereunder may adversely affect Lahaina's ability to ensure that options under the Plan will qualify as "performance-based compensation" that is fully deductible by Lahaina under Section 162(m). IMPORTANCE OF CONSULTING TAX ADVISER. The information set forth above is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. In addition, the information is based upon current Federal income tax rules and therefore is subject to change when those rules change. Moreover, because the tax consequences to any optionee may depend on his particular situation, each optionee should consult his tax adviser as to the Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of the grant or exercise of an option or the disposition of Common Stock acquired on exercise of an option. RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LAHAINA ACQUISITIONS, INC. STOCK PLAN. HOUSEHOLDING The SEC recently approved a new rule concerning the delivery of annual reports and proxy statements. It permits a single set of these reports to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding. In accordance with a notice sent earlier this year to certain beneficial shareholders who share a single address, only one annual report and proxy statement will be sent to that address unless any stockholder at that address gave contrary instructions. However, if any such beneficial stockholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future, such stockholder may telephone __________________. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Lahaina's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of Lahaina's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the NYSE, and to furnish Lahaina with copies of the forms. Based on its review of the forms it received, or written representations from reporting persons, Lahaina believes that, during 2001, each of its officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders complied with all such filing requirements. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2003 MEETING Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2003 Meeting of Stockholders must be received by Lahaina at its offices at 14001 East Iliff Avenue, Suite 704, Denver, CO , Attn: Secretary, not later than _______, 2003 and satisfy the conditions established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for stockholder proposals to be included in Lahaina's proxy statement for that meeting. Pursuant to new amendments to Rule 14a-4(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if a stockholder who intends to present a proposal at the 2003 Meeting of Stockholders does not notify Lahaina of such proposal on or prior to _____, 2003, then management proxies would be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority to vote on the proposal when the proposal is raised at the Meeting, even though there is no discussion of the proposal in the 2003 Proxy Statement. Lahaina currently believes that the 2003 Meeting of Stockholders will be held during ____________, 2003. OTHER MATTERS The Board of Directors of Lahaina knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the Meeting. However, if other matters do properly come before the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, the Board of Directors intends that the persons named in the proxies will vote upon such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company, its subsidiaries, its affiliates that perform services for the Company and its subsidiaries, and its shareholders by affording certain employees and Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as key consultants and advisors to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in the Company. The objective of the issuance of the Options and Awards is to promote the growth and profitability of the Company, its subsidiaries and its affiliates because the Grantees will be provided with an additional incentive to achieve the Company's objectives through participation in its success and growth and by encouraging their continued association with or service to the Company. 2.3 Effective Date.

ARTICLE III PARTICIPANTS The class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan shall consist of all persons whose participation in the Plan the Committee determines to be in the best interests of the Company which shall include, but not be limited to, all Directors and employees, including but not limited to executive personnel, of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, as well as key consultants and advisors to the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate.

The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to delegate to any Officer its powers to grant Options or Awards under the Plan to any person who is an employee of the Company but not an Officer or Director. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may give a Grantee an election to surrender an Option or Award in exchange for the grant of a new Option or Award, and shall have the authority to amend or modify an outstanding Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement, or to waive any provision thereof, provided that the Grantee consents to such action. 4.2 Interpretation; Rules. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee also shall have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the details and provisions of each Stock Option Agreement, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amending or altering of the Plan and any Options or Awards granted hereunder as may be required to comply with or to conform to any federal, state, or local laws or regulations. 4.3 No Liability.

The Company shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to eligible persons, their employment, death, retirement, disability, or other termination of employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Committee may require. The Company shall furnish the Committee with such clerical and other assistance as is necessary in the performance of its duties. ARTICLE V SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN 5.1 Limitations. Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof and the next sentence, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder shall be limited as set forth below, and not more than 750,000 shares of Stock may be made subject to Options to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company, such limitation to be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. The number of shares of Stock available for issuance hereunder shall automatically be established on the first trading day following the end of each fiscal year of the Company at an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Stock outstanding on such trading day (subject to adjustment under Section 5.2). Any or all shares of Stock subject to the Plan may be issued in any combination of Incentive Stock Options, non-Incentive Stock Options, Restricted Stock, or SARs, and the amount of Stock subject to the Plan may be increased from time to time in accordance with Article X, provided that the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options may not be increased to more than 2,000,000 (other than pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments and the annual increase provided above) without shareholder approval. Shares subject to an Option or issued as an Award may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and later acquired by the Company. The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option or Award that has terminated for any reason (except as set forth in the following paragraph), or any forfeited portion of an Option or Award, and shares tendered for cashless exercise and withheld for taxes may again be optioned or awarded under the Plan, and such shares shall not be considered as having been optioned or issued in computing the number of shares of Stock remaining available for option or award hereunder. If Options are issued in respect of options to acquire stock of any entity acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), to the extent that such issuance shall not be inconsistent with the terms, limitations and conditions of Code Section 422 or Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Options may be granted hereunder shall automatically be increased by the number of shares subject to the Options so issued; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Options may be granted hereunder shall automatically be decreased by the number of shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option so issued that has terminated for any reason, and the shares subject to any such unexercised portion may not be optioned to any other person. 5.2 Antidilution. (a) If (1) the outstanding shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company or any other entity by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, or stock split or stock dividend, (2) any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of assets materially affects the price of the Company's stock, or (3) there is any assumption and conversion to the Plan by the Company of an acquired company's outstanding option grants, then: (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock for which Options or Awards may be granted hereunder shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee; and (ii) the rights of Optionees (concerning the number of shares subject to Options and the

Exercise Price) under outstanding Options and the rights of the holders of Awards (concerning the terms and conditions of the lapse of any then-remaining restrictions), shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee.

(b) In the event of an anticipated Change in Control or the Company shall be a party to any reorganization, involving merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the stock or substantially all the assets of the Company, the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may: (i) notwithstanding other provisions hereof, declare that all Options granted under the Plan

shall become exercisable immediately notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option Agreements regarding exercisability, that all such Options shall terminate 90 days after the Committee gives written notice of the immediate right to exercise all such Options and of the decision to terminate all Options not exercised within such 90-day period, and that all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan shall immediately lapse; and/or

(ii) notify all Grantees that all Options or Awards granted under the Plan shall be assumed by

the successor corporation or substituted on an equitable basis with options or restricted stock issued by such successor corporation.

(c) If the Company is to be liquidated or dissolved in connection with a reorganization described in Section 5.2(b), the provisions of such Section shall apply. In all other instances, the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, cause all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan to lapse, and shall cause every Option outstanding under the Plan to terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of the plan of dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders, provided that, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, the Committee may declare all Options granted under the Plan to be exercisable at any time on or before the fifth business day following such adoption notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option Agreements regarding exercisability. (d) The adjustments described in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 5.2, and the manner of their application, shall be determined solely by the Board or the Committee, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional share interests; provided, however, that any adjustment made by the Board or the Committee shall be made in a manner that will not cause an Incentive Stock Option to be other than an Incentive Stock Option under applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The adjustments required under this Article V shall apply to any successors of the Company and shall be made regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such adjustments. ARTICLE VI OPTIONS 6.1 Types of Options Granted. The Committee may, under this Plan, grant either Incentive Stock Options or Options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Within the limitations provided in this Plan, both types of Options may be granted to the same person at the same time, or at different times, under different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and conditions of each Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the financial performance of the Company or any other factor the Committee deems relevant. 6.2 Option Grant and Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the written consent of the Committee and by a written Stock Option Agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including the Option's duration, time or times of exercise, exercise price, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and whether the Option is to be accompanied by the right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Stock Option Agreement. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years after the earlier to occur of the Effective Date or the date the Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. Separate Stock Option Agreements may be used for Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options and those not so intended, but any failure to use such separate agreements shall not invalidate, or otherwise adversely affect the Optionee's interest in, the Options evidenced thereby. 6.3 Optionee Limitation. The Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted: (a) is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) owns or is considered to own stock possessing at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Option and such Option by its terms would not be exercisable after five years from the date on which the Option is granted. 6.4 $100,000 Limitation. Except as provided below, the Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted (or modified), would thereby receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, such that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year is in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of outstanding Incentive Stock Options shall not reclude the Committee from modifying an outstanding Incentive Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and with the consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an Incentive Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or such other limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section 6.4 is exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option, the granting or modification of which resulted in the exceeding of such limit, shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option up to the limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an Incentive Stock Option. 6.5 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the Stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(b) hereof, the Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of the date the Option is granted (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is subsequently modified, on the date of such modification). 6.6 Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of each Option granted hereunder shall be determined by the Committee, but the Stock Option Agreement with respect to each Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall provide that such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or modification) of the Option. In addition, no Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable prior to shareholder approval of the Plan. 6.7 Option Exercise. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Section 6.6 hereof, an Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option as to any or all full shares which have become Purchasable under the provisions of the Option, but not at any time as to less than 100 shares unless the remaining shares that have become so Purchasable are less than 100 shares. The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option Agreement that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule during the term of the Option. (b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office a written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) payment to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in accordance with Section 6.7(c). If requested by an Optionee, an Option may be exercised with the involvement of a stockbroker in accordance with the federal margin rules set forth in Regulation T (in which case the certificates representing the underlying shares will be delivered by the Company directly to the stockbroker). (c) The Exercise Price is to be paid in full in cash upon the exercise of the Option and the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for the shares purchased until such payment has been made; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, all or any portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by tendering to the Company shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in each case to be credited against the Exercise Price at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise (however, no fractional shares may be so transferred, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any cash payments in consideration of any excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares transferred over the aggregate Exercise Price); provided further, that the Board may provide in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion at the time of exercise) that, in lieu of cash or shares, all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by the Optionee's execution of a recourse note equal to the Exercise Price or relevant portion thereof, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state, and local income, employment, or other withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise. However, in the discretion of the Committee any Stock Option Agreement may provide that all or any portion of such tax obligations, together with additional taxes not exceeding the actual additional taxes to be owed by the Optionee as a result of such exercise, may, upon the irrevocable election of the Optionee, be paid by tendering to the Company whole shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in either case in that number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount of such taxes thereby being paid, and subject to such restrictions as to the approval and timing of any such election as the Committee may from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions of the exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if such rule is applicable. (e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. 6.8 Reload Options. (a) The Committee may specify in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion) that a Reload Option shall be granted, without further action of the Committee, (i) to an Optionee who exercises an Option (including a Reload Option) by surrendering shares of Stock in payment of amounts specified in Sections 6.7(c) or 6.7(d) hereof, (ii) for the same number of shares as are surrendered to pay such amounts, (iii) as of the date of such payment and at an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (iv) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Option whose exercise has occasioned such payment, subject to such other conditions or terms as the Committee shall specify at the time such exercised Option is granted. (b) Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, a Reload Option may not be exercised by an Optionee (i) prior to the end of a one-year period from the date that the Reload Option is granted, and (ii) unless the Optionee retains beneficial ownership of the shares of Stock issued to such Optionee upon exercise of the Option referred to above in Section 6.8(a)(i) for a period of one year from the date of such exercise. 6.9 Nontransferability of Option. No Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of Options other than Incentive Stock Options, pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and no Option shall be transferable by an Optionee who is a Section 16 Insider prior to shareholder approval of the Plan. During the lifetime of an Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed). 6.10 Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to the Options granted to a particular Optionee, the effect upon such Optionee's right to exercise an Option of termination of such Optionee's employment or service under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such Optionee's rights under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be exercised in full; provided, however, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant thereof. Unless a Stock Option Agreement specifically provides otherwise, in the event the recipient of an Option or Award is terminated from his or her employment or other service to the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, Options and Awards, whether vested or unvested, granted to such person shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be exercisable. 6.11 Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such person's employment at any time. 6.12 Certain Successor Options. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms, limitations and conditions of Code Section 422 and any regulations promulgated with respect thereto, an Option issued in respect of an option held by an employee to acquire stock of any entity acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) may contain terms that differ from those stated in this Article VI, but solely to the extent necessary to preserve for any such employee the rights and benefits contained in such predecessor option, or to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 424(a). 6.13 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable on an accelerated basis in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company (and the Committee shall have the discretion to modify the definition of a Change in Control in a particular Option Agreement). If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that all outstanding Options shall be exercisable on an accelerated basis. ARTICLE VII RESTRICTED STOCK 7.1 Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall be governed by a Restriction Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Restriction Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms, and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may require that an appropriate legend be placed on the certificates evidencing the subject Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has executed the Restriction Agreement governing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers, and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such shares. If a Grantee shall fail to execute the foregoing documents within any time period prescribed by the Committee, the Award shall be void. At the discretion of the Committee, shares issued in connection with an Award may be held by the Company for the account of the Grantee or deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise and as set forth in the Restriction Agreement, upon issuance of the shares, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, not more than 20,000 shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company, such limitation to be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. 7.2 Non-Transferability. Until any restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in a manner set forth in Section 7.3, such shares of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, nor shall they be delivered to the Grantee. 7.3 Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Award is granted or thereafter. 7.4 Termination of Employment. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to each Award granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such Grantee's rights with respect to such Restricted Stock of the termination of such Grantee's employment under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining restrictions shall lapse. 7.5 Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is made the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of any dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the relevant restrictions and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such lapsing. In the event of such deferral, there shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest thereon, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest thereon) in respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock. 7.6 Delivery of Shares. Except as provided otherwise in Article IX below, within a reasonable period of time following the lapse of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such shares and such shares shall be free of all restrictions hereunder. ARTICLE VIII STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 8.1 SAR Grants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant to any Grantee an SAR. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any SAR as it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, restricting the time of exercise of the SAR to specified periods as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an SAR providing for not more than 20,000 equivalent shares of Stock may be awarded to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company, such limitation to be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. 8.2 Determination of Price. The SAR Price shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The SAR Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the SAR is granted for an SAR issued in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option. 8.3 Exercise of an SAR. Upon exercise of an SAR, the Grantee shall be entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement, to receive the excess for each share of Stock being exercised under the SAR of (i) the Fair Market Value of such share of Stock on the date of exercise over (ii) the SAR Price for such share of Stock. 8.4 Payment for an SAR. At the sole discretion of the Committee, the payment of such excess shall be made in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Stock, or (iii) a combination of both. Shares of Stock used for this payment shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the applicable SAR. 8.5 Status of an SAR under the Plan. Shares of Stock subject to an Award of an SAR shall be considered shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan for purposes of Section 5.1 hereof, unless the Agreement making the Award of the SAR provides that the exercise of such SAR results in the termination of an unexercised Option for the same number of shares of Stock. 8.6 Termination of Employment. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to each SAR granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such Grantee's rights with respect to such SAR of the termination of such Grantee's employment under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred forfeiture of such SAR or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining restrictions shall lapse. 8.7 No Shareholder Rights. The Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to an SAR. In addition, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or rights except as provided in Section 5.2 hereof. ARTICLE IX STOCK CERTIFICATES The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option granted hereunder or any portion thereof, or deliver any certificate for shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed; (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares which the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable under any federal or state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body; (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency or body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Board from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience. Stock certificates issued and delivered to Grantees shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws. ARTICLE X TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 10.1 Termination and Amendment. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the date that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to: (a) Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options, except as contemplated in Sections 5.1 and 5.2; (b) Change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options that may participate in the Plan; or (c) Otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to recipients of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. 10.2 Effect on Grantee's Rights. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a Grantee's rights under a Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative. ARTICLE XI RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive, or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any of its subsidiaries; nor shall the adoption of the Plan preclude the Company or any of its subsidiaries from establishing any other form of incentive or other compensation plan for employees or Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 Replacement or Amended Grants. At the sole discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options or Awards or accept the surrender of outstanding Options or Awards and grant new Options or Awards in substitution for them. However, no modification of an Option or Award shall adversely affect a Grantee's rights under a Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative. 12.2 Forfeiture for Competition. If a Grantee provides services to a competitor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether as an employee, officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, agent, or otherwise, such services being of a nature that can reasonably be expected to involve the skills and experience used or developed by the Grantee while an employee of the Company or subsidiary, then that Grantee's rights under any Options outstanding hereunder shall be forfeited and terminated, and any shares of Restricted Stock held by such Grantee subject to remaining restrictions shall be forfeited, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 12.3 Plan Binding on Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. 12.4 Singular, Plural; Gender. Whenever used herein, nouns in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender. 12.5 Headings, etc., No Part of Plan. Headings of Articles and Sections hereof are inserted for convenience and reference; they do not constitute part of the Plan. 12.6 Interpretation. With respect to Section 16 Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators fails to so comply, it shall be deemed void to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Plan administrators.
