will be voted in accordance with such specification.  If no specification is
made, the shares represented by the proxies will be voted (1) FOR the election
of the Board nominee for Class C Director for a three-year term expiring at the

                         ELECTION OF CLASS C DIRECTOR

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors
shall consist of not more than nine nor less than five members.  The exact
number of Directors is fixed by the Board prior to each year's Annual Meeting
of Shareholders.  The Board is divided into three staggered classes, each class
having not less than one or more than three members.  Each Director is elected
to serve for a three-year term, and until the election and qualification of his
or her successor.  When vacancies on the Board occur, due to resignation or
otherwise, the Directors then in office may continue to exercise the powers of
the Directors and a majority of such directors may select a new Director to
fill the vacancy.  Any Director may resign at any time.  Any Director may be
removed by the vote of, or written consent of, the holders of a majority of the
shares of Common Stock outstanding at a special meeting called for the purpose
of removal or to ratify the recommendation of a majority of the Directors that
such Director be removed.

The term of the Class C Director expires at the fiscal 2008 Annual Meeting to
be held on February 18, 2009.  The Board has proposed John C. Love as the Class
C Director to serve until the fiscal 2011 Annual Meeting and until the election
and qualification of his successor.  The Board of Directors has been informed
that the nominee has consented to being named as nominee and is willing to
serve as a Director if elected.  However, if the nominee should be unable, or
declines to serve, it is intended that the proxies will be voted for such other
person as the proxies shall, in their discretion, designate.  Unless otherwise
directed in the accompanying Proxy, the person's name therein will vote FOR the
election of this nominee.  Election requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares represented and voted at the Annual Meeting.

                     BOARD AND COMMITTEE INFORMATION

InterGroup's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market tier of the
NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ").  InterGroup is a Smaller Reporting Company
under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").

The Board of Directors of InterGroup currently consists of five members. With
the exception of the Company's President and CEO, John V. Winfield, all of
InterGroup's Board of Directors consists of "independent" directors as
independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and NASDAQ. The
Board of Directors held four meetings during the 2008 Fiscal Year (in person,
telephonically or by written consent).  No Director attended (whether in
person, telephonically, or by written consent) less than 75% of all meetings
held during the period of time he served as Director during the 2008 Fiscal
Year. The independent directors also meet in executive session at least two
times per year.

The Board of Directors has not established a formal process for security
holders to send communications to the Board of Directors and the Board has not
deemed it necessary to establish such a procedure at this time. Historically,
almost all communications that the Company receives from security holders are
administrative in nature and are not directed to the Board of Directors.  If
the Company should receive a security holder communication directed to the
Board of Directors, or to an individual director, said communication will be
relayed to the Board of Directors or the individual director as the case may
be.

The Company does not have any formal policy with regard to board members
attendance at annual meetings of shareholders but encourages each director to
attend said meetings. All of the Company's directors attended the fiscal 2007
annual meeting of shareholders.

Committees:

The Company has an Executive Committee that meets in lieu of the Board upon the
request of the Chairman of the Committee.  Mr. Winfield is Chairman of the
Executive Committee.  The Committee held two meetings (in person,
telephonically or by written consent) during the 2008 Fiscal Year.

                                     4


The Company's Administrative and Compensation Committee (the "Compensation
Committee") is comprised of three "independent" members of the Board of
Directors as independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and
NASDAQ.  Mr. Nance serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The
Company has not established a charter for the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the
compensation for the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive
officers, including equity or performance based compensation and plans. The
Compensation Committee seeks to design and set compensation to attract and
retain highly qualified executive officers and to align their interests with
those of long-term owners of the Company. The Compensation Committee may also
make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the amount and form of
director compensation. The Compensation Committee has not engaged any
compensation consultants in determining the amount or form of executive of
director compensation, but does review and monitor published compensation
surveys and studies. The Compensation Committee may delegate to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer the authority determine the compensation of certain
executive officers.  The Compensation Committee held two meetings (in person,
telephonically or by written consent) during the 2008 Fiscal Year.  The
Compensation Committee also oversees the Company's Stock Option Plans and the
2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

The Company has a Real Estate Investment Committee, which is chaired by Mr.
Nance.  This Committee held six meetings (in person, telephonically or by
written consent) during the 2008 Fiscal Year.  The Real Estate Investment
Committee reviews and considers potential acquisitions, dispositions, and
financings of properties.

The Company's Nominating Committee is comprised of two "independent" directors
as independence is defined by the applicable rules of the SEC and NASDAQ.  The
Company has not established a charter for the Nominating Committee and the
Committee has no policy with regard to consideration of any director candidates
recommended by security holders.  As a Smaller Reporting Company whose
directors own in excess of sixty percent of the voting shares of the Company,
InterGroup has not deemed it appropriate to institute such a policy.  Mr.
Grunwald is the Chairman of the Nominating Committee.  The Committee held one
meeting during the 2008 Fiscal Year

The Company's Securities Investment Committee oversees and establishes certain
investment procedures and reports to the Board of Directors.  The Committee's
Chairman is Mr. Winfield.  This committee held four meetings (in person,
telephonically or by written consent) during the 2008 Fiscal Year.

The Company's Special Strategic Options Committee is chaired by Mr. Winfield.
This committee held no formal meetings during the 2008 Fiscal Year, but its
members consult with each other frequently on an informal basis.  The Special
Strategic Options Committee reviews and considers the Company's strategic
options and provides guidance to accomplish its goals considering both current
and prospective investment opportunities.

The Company is a Smaller Reporting Company under SEC rules.  The Company's
Audit Committee is currently comprised of three members: Directors Nance
(Chairperson), Grunwald and Love, each of who meet the independence
requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ as modified or supplemented from time to
time.  Directors Nance and Love also meet the Audit Committee Financial Expert
requirement as defined by the SEC and NASDAQ.  The primary function of the
Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its
responsibility of overseeing management's conduct of the financial reporting
process, the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements,
reviewing the financial reports provided by the Company to any governmental
body or the public; the Company's system of internal controls regarding
finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and the Board
have established; and the Company's auditing, accounting and financial
processes generally.  The Audit Committee is also responsible for the selection
and retention of the Company's independent auditors. The Audit Committee held
six meetings during the 2008 Fiscal Year.

The Company's Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit
Committee, which is reviewed on an annual basis.  A copy of that written
charter, as amended, is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

On July 18, 2003, the disinterested members of the respective Boards of
Directors of the Company's subsidiary, Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary,
Portsmouth, established a performance based compensation program for the
Company's CEO, John V. Winfield, to keep and retain his services as a direct
and active manager of the securities portfolios of those companies.  On January
12, 2004, the disinterested members of the Securities Investment Committee of
InterGroup also established a performance based compensation program for Mr.
Winfield, which was ratified by the Board of Directors. The Company's previous
experience and results with outside money managers was not acceptable.
Pursuant to the criteria established the Board of Directors, Mr. Winfield is
entitled to performance compensation for his management of the securities
portfolios of the Company and its subsidiaries equal to 20% of all net
investment gains generated in excess of an annual return equal to the Prime
Rate of Interest (as published by the Wall Street Journal) plus 2%.
Compensation amounts are earned, calculated and paid quarterly based on the
results of the Company's investment portfolio for that quarter.  Should the
companies have a net investment loss during any quarter, Mr. Winfield would not
be entitled to any further performance-based compensation until any such
investment losses are recouped by the Company.  This performance based
compensation program may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the
respective Boards of Directors. No performance based compensation was earned or
paid for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 or 2007.

Internal Revenue Code Limitations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
provides that, in the case of a publicly held corporation, the corporation is
not generally allowed to deduct remuneration paid to its chief executive
officer and certain other highly compensated officers to the extent that such
remuneration exceeds $1,000,000 for the taxable year.  Certain remuneration,
however, is not subject to disallowance, including compensation paid on a
commission basis and, if certain requirements prescribed by the Code are
satisfied, other performance based compensation.  Since InterGroup, Santa Fe
and Portsmouth are each public companies, the $1,000,000 limitation applies
separately to the compensation paid by each entity.  For fiscal years 2008 and
2007 no compensation paid by the Company to its CEO or other executive officers
was subject the deduction disallowance prescribed by Section 162(m) of the
Code.

The following table sets forth information concerning unexercised options for

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

As of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company had two equity
compensation plans, each of which was approved by the Company's shareholders.
Set forth below is a summary of those plans.

1998 Stock Option Plan for Selected Key Officers, Employees and Consultants

On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
shareholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for selected
key officers, employees and consultants (the "Key Employee Plan").  The Key
Employee Plan was ratified by the stockholders on January 27, 1999.

The stock to be offered under the Key Employee Plan shall be shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares
or treasury shares.  Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of
all options granted under the Key Employee Plan shall not exceed 300,000 shares
(adjusted for stock split).  The Key Employee Plan shall terminate on the
earliest to occur of (i) the dates when all of the Common Stock available under
the Key Employee Plan shall have been acquired through the exercise of options
granted under the Key Employee Plan; (ii) 10 years after the date of
adoption of the Key Employee Plan by the Board; or (iii) such other date that
the Board may determine.

The Key Employee Plan is administered by a Committee appointed by the Board of
Directors which consists of two or more disinterested persons within the
meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act").  Persons eligible to receive options under the Key
Employee Plan shall be employees who are selected by the Committee.  In
determining the Employees to whom options shall be granted and the number of
shares to be covered by each option, the Committee shall take into account the
duties of the respective employee, their present and potential contribution to
the success of the Company, their anticipated number of years of active service
remaining and other factors as it deems relevant in connection with
accomplishing the purposes of the Key Employee Plan.  An employee who has been
granted an option may be granted an additional option or options as the
Committee shall so determine.

The exercise price of the option shall be determined at the time of grant and
shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
time of the grant of the option.  The term of the option shall not exceed 10
years from the date on which the option is granted.  The vesting schedule for
the options and the method or time that when the option may be exercised in
whole or in part shall be determined by the Committee.  However, in no event
shall an option be exercisable within six months of the date of grant in the
case of an optionee subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Subject to
certain exceptions, the option shall terminate six months after the optionee's
employment with the Company terminates.  No options to purchase shares were
granted pursuant to the Key Employee Plan during fiscal 2008. The Key Employee
plan expired on December 7, 2008; however, any outstanding options issued under
the Key Employee Plan remain effective in accordance with their terms.


1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

On December 8, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted, subject to
shareholder approval and ratification, a 1998 Stock Option Plan for Non-
Employee Directors (the "1998 Director Plan").  The stockholders ratified that
plan on January 27, 1999.

The stock offered under the 1998 Director Plan was shares of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, which may be unissued shares or
treasury shares.  Subject to certain adjustments upon changes in
capitalization, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon exercise of
all options granted under the 1998 Director Plan were not to exceed 150,000
shares (adjusted for March 31, 2003 stock split).

                                     8


Since all options authorized to be issued under the 1998 Director Plan were
exhausted in fiscal 2006, the Plan was terminated upon shareholder approval,
and Board adoption, of the 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors described below; however, any outstanding options under the Plan
remain effective in accordance with their terms.

2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

On February 21, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved The InterGroup
Corporation 2007 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2007
Plan"), which was thereafter adopted by the Board of Directors.  The 2007 Plan
will terminate upon the earlier of the date all shares reserved for issuance
have been awarded or February 21, 2017, if not sooner terminated by the Board
upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee.

The stock to be available for issuance under the 2007 Plan shall be
unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
which may be unissued shares or treasury shares.  Subject to certain
adjustments upon changes in capitalization, a maximum of 60,000 shares (subject
to changes in capitalization or other adjustments for corporate changes) of the
Common Stock will be available for issuance to participants under the 2007
Plan.

All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan. Each
non-employee director as of the adoption date of the 2007 Plan shall be granted
an award of 600 unrestricted shares of the Company's Common Stock.  On each
July 1 following the adoption date of the 2007 Plan, each non-employee director
shall receive an automatic grant of a number of shares of Company's Common
Stock equal in value to $18,000 based on 100% of the fair market value (as
defined) of the Common Stock on the date of grant, provided he or she holds
such position on that date and the number of shares of Common Stock
available for grant under the 2007 Plan is sufficient to permit such automatic
grant. Any fractional shares resulting from such grant will be rounded up to
next highest whole share.  All stock awards to non-employee directors will be
fully vested on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the annual grant is
subject to further adjustment by the Board of Directors upon recommendation by
the Compensation Committee.

The stock awards granted under the 2007 Plan are shares of unrestricted Common
Stock and are fully vested on the date of grant. The right of the non-employee
director to receive his or her annual grant of Common is personal to the
director and is not transferable. Once received, shares of Common Stock awarded
to the non-employee director are freely transferable subject to any
requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). On June 28, 2007, Company filed a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register the shares subject to the 2007 Plan and the
Company's two stock option plans.

Upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board may, at any time
and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the 2007 Plan. The
Board must obtain stockholder approval of any material amendment to the 2007
Plan if required by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The
Board of Directors may amend the 2007 Plan or any award agreement, which
amendment may be retroactive, in order to conform it to any present or future
law, regulation or ruling relating to plans of this or similar nature. No
amendment or modification of the 2007 Plan or any award agreement may adversely
affect any outstanding award without the written consent of the participant
holding the award.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the four non-employee directors of the
Company, Josef A. Grunwald, Gary N. Jacobs, John C. Love and William J. Nance,
each received a grant of 987 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2007 Plan.

Change in Control or Other Arrangements

Except for the foregoing, there are no other arrangements for compensation of
Directors and there are no employment contracts between the Company and its

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers and directors, and each beneficial owner of more than ten
percent of the Common Stock of the Company, to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Executive
officers, directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are required by
SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.  Based upon a review of the copies of such reports received by it,
or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5's were
required for those persons, the Company believes that during fiscal 2008 all
filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors, and greater than
ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with.

                                     11


                CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On December 4, 1998, the Compensation Committee authorized the Company to
obtain whole life and split dollar insurance policies covering the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Winfield.  During fiscal 2007 and
2006, the Company paid annual premiums in the amount of approximately $85,000
for the split dollar insurance policy owned by, and the beneficiary of which
is, a trust for the benefit of Mr. Winfield's family. The Company has a secured
right to receive, from any proceeds of the policy, reimbursement of all
premiums paid prior to any payments to the beneficiary.

On June 30, 1998, the Company's Chairman and President entered into a voting
trust agreement with the Company giving the Company the power to vote his 4.0%
interest in the outstanding shares of the Santa Fe common stock.

As Chairman of the Securities Investment Committee, the Company's President and
Chief Executive officer, John V. Winfield, oversees the investment activity of
the Company in public and private markets pursuant to authority granted by the
Board of Directors.  Mr. Winfield also serves as Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of Santa Fe and Portsmouth and oversees the investment activity of
those companies.  Depending on certain market conditions and various risk
factors, the Chief Executive Officer, his family, Santa Fe and Portsmouth may,
at times, invest in the same companies in which the Company invests.  The
Company encourages such investments because it places personal resources of the
Chief Executive Officer and his family members, and the resources of Santa Fe
and Portsmouth, at risk in connection with investment decisions made on behalf
of the Company.  Under the direction of the Securities Investment Committee,
the Company has instituted certain modifications to its procedures to reduce
the potential for conflicts of interest.

The Company, its subsidiary Santa Fe and Santa Fe's subsidiary, Portsmouth,
have established performance based compensation programs for Mr. Winfield's
management of the securities portfolios of those companies.  The performance
based compensation program was approved by the disinterested members of the
respective Boards of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. No
performance bonus compensation was paid to Mr. Winfield for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2

                       RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
                  INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed the firm of Burr,
Pilger & Mayer LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP has
served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since
October 23, 2007. Although the action of shareholders in this matter is not
required, the Audit Committee believes it is appropriate to seek shareholder
ratification of this appointment.  Ratification requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares represented and voted at the Annual Meeting.

On October 23, 2007, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommended
and approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PWC") as the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm. PWC served as the
independent registered accounting firm engaged to audit the Company's financial
statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. On October 23, 2007, the
Audit Committee engaged and appointed Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP ("BPM") as the
Company's new independent registered accounting firm.

The reports of PWC on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principle. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and through
October 23, 2007, there were no disagreements with PWC on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of
Regulation S-B), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused
PWC to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company's financial
statements for such years.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and
through October 23, 2007, there were no reportable events as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B.

The Company provided PWC with a copy of the above disclosures and requested
that PWC furnish a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made by the
Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. PWC
furnished a letter confirming that it agreed with the statements made by the
Company.

During fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and through October 23, 2007, there were
no consultations with BPM on any matters described in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and
Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-B.

BPM serves as the auditors of the Justice Investors limited partnership
("Justice" or the Partnership"). Due to the consolidation of the financial
statements of Justice into those of the Company, effective July 1, 2006, the
Audit Committee believed that the engagement of BPM would promote greater
efficiencies and savings for the Company, especially since the hotel owned by
the Partnership is now the major asset and operating entity on the Company's
financial statements.

We expect that a representative of Burr Pilger & Mayer LLP will be present at
the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from Shareholders, and
we will provide this representative with an opportunity to make a statement if
he or she desires to do so.

                                   13


THE FOLLOWING REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE
SOLICITING MATERIAL OR TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 OR THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE IN ANY
DOCUMENT SO FILED.

                         AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee's responsibilities are described in a written charter
adopted by the Board of Directors, which is attached as Appendix A to this
Proxy Statement.  The Audit Committee primary duties and responsibilities are
to: serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company's
financial reporting process and internal control system; appoint and approve
the compensation of the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm; review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm; and provide an open avenue of communications
among the independent registered public accounting firm, financial and senior
management, and the Board of Directors.  During fiscal year ended June 30,
2008, the Company retained Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP as its independent
registered public accounting firm to provide audit and audit related services.
There were no fees paid for non-audit services.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements
with management and Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP and management represented to the
Audit Committee that the consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals.  The discussions with
Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP also included the matters required by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by
SAS No. 90 with respect to quarterly financial statements.  The Audit Committee
has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Burr, Pilger &
Mayer LLP regarding its independence as required by Independence Standards
Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), which
was discussed with Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP.

Based on the Audit Committee's review of the audited financial statements, and
the review and discussions with management and Burr, Pilger & Mayer LLP
referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company's Board of

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-
audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the
Company by its independent registered public accounting firm, subject to any de
minimus exceptions that may be set for non-audit services described in Section
10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act which are approved by the Committee prior to
the completion of the audit.  The Committee may form and delegate authority to
subcommittees consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 3

                   APPROVAL OF THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
                   2008 RESTRICTED STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

     GENERAL.  Based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our
Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, a new equity
compensation plan for its officers, directors and key employees on December 3,
2008, entitled, The InterGroup Corporation 2008 Restricted Stock Unit Plan
(which we refer to as the Plan). At the same time the Board adopted the Plan,
the holders of more than 65.2% of the outstanding common stock of the Company
executed written consents in favor of the adoption of the Plan and have
committed to vote in favor of the ratification of the 2008 Plan at this Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are required to approve the Plan.

The Plan authorizes the Company to issue restricted stock units ("RSUs") as
equity compensation to officers, directors and key employees of the Company on
such terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee. RSUs are
not actual shares of the Company's common stock, but rather promises to deliver
common stock in the future, subject to certain vesting requirements and other
restrictions as may be determined by the Committee.

Our executive officers, directors and key employees have an interest in the
proposal to approve the Plan since each is an eligible participant in such
awards that may be granted under the Plan by the Compensation Committee. As of
December 31, 2008, were five (5) directors and four (4) named executive
officers that are eligible participants under the Plan.

A copy of the Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix B and is
hereby incorporated by reference. The following summary of the key provisions
of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the attached Plan
document.

     PURPOSE.  The Plan was adopted, in part, to replace our 1998 Stock Option
Plan for Non-Employee Directors and our 1998 Stock Option Plan for Key Officers
and Employees (which we refer to as the Prior Plans). The Prior Plans expired
on December 7, 2008. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means whereby
officers, directors and key employees of the Company develop a sense of
proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial
success of the Company, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to
the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and
its shareholders. A further purpose of this Plan is to provide a means through
which the Company may attract able individuals to become employees or serve as
directors of the Company and to provide a means for such individuals to acquire
and maintain stock ownership in the Company, thereby strengthening their
concern for the welfare of the Company. The Plan will also provides flexibility
for the Company to exchange RSUs for stock options granted under Prior Plans
which will reduce the number of shares of common stock subject to equity
awards, thereby reducing potential dilution to the Company's shareholders in
the event of significant increases in the value of its common stock.

     EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION.  The Plan became effective upon adoption by
the Board of Directors on December 3, 2008; however, no RSUs that may be
granted shall vest until the Plan is approved by the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The Plan shall be rescinded and
all equity compensation granted under the Plan shall be null and void unless
within six months from the date of the adoption of the Plan it is approved by
the shareholders of the Company. The Plan will terminate ten (10) years from
December 3, 2008, unless terminated sooner by the Board of Directors. After the
Plan is terminated, no awards may be granted but awards previously granted
shall remain outstanding in accordance with the Plan and their applicable terms
and conditions.

                                    16


     SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS; MAXIMUM AWARDS. The shares available for
issuance under the Plan are shares of the Company's common stock, par value
$.01 per share, which may be unissued shares or treasury shares.  Subject to
certain adjustments upon changes in capitalization, a maximum of 200,000 shares
of the common stock will be available for issuance to participants under the
Plan.

     AWARDS AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE. The awards authorized for issuance are
restricted stock units ("RSUs"), each of which represents a right to acquire
one share of our common stock. RSUs are not actual shares of common stock but
rather promises to deliver common stock in the future, subject to certain
vesting requirements and restrictions as may be determined by the Compensation
Committee. Holders of RSUs have no voting rights with respect to the underlying
shares of common stock and holders are not entitled to receive any dividends
until the RSUs vest and the shares are delivered. No awards of RSUs shall vest
until at least six months after shareholder approval of the Plan.

     TRANFERABILITY. Awards of RSUs are personal to the participant and may not
be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated.

     REGISTRATION OF SHARES. The shares to be delivered pursuant to the award
of RSUs have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"). Following approval of the plan by the stockholders, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register the shares subject to the
Plan by filing a registration statement on Form S-8 under the 1933 Act or any
other applicable law. Shares of stock issued pursuant to the plan may bear an
appropriate restrictive legend as determined by the Committee.

     ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. Individuals eligible to participate in the
Plan include all officers, directors, key employees and holders of awards from
Prior Plans. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Compensation Committee
may, from time to time, select from all eligible individuals, those individuals
to whom awards shall be granted and shall determine, in its sole discretion,
the nature of, any and all terms permissible by law, and the amount of each
award. Presently there are five directors and four named executive officers
that may be eligible participants under the Plan.

     ADMINISTRATION AND AUTHORITY. The Compensation Committee shall be
responsible for administering the Plan. The Compensation Committee shall have
full and exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of
the Plan and any award agreement in connection with the Plan, to determine
eligibility for awards and to adopt such rules, regulations, forms,
instruments, and guidelines for administering the Plan as the Committee may
deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall include, but not be limited to,
selecting award recipients, establishing all award terms and conditions,
including the terms and conditions set forth in award agreements, granting
awards as an alternative to, or as the form of, payment for grants or rights
earned or due under compensation plans or arrangements of the Company,
including an exchange of awards granted under Prior Plans, construing any
ambiguous provision of the Plan or any award agreement, and adopting
modifications and amendments to the Plan or any award agreement, including
without limitation, any that are necessary to comply with the laws of the
countries and other jurisdictions in which the Company and/or its Subsidiaries
operate.  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by
the Committee shall be final and binding upon the participants, the Company,
and all other interested individuals.

                                    17


     OTHER RESTRICTIONS.  The Compensation Committee may impose such other
conditions and/or restrictions on any RSUs granted pursuant to the Plan as it
may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that
participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each RSU, restrictions based
upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on
vesting following the attainment of the performance goals, service time-based
restrictions, restrictions under applicable laws or under the requirements of
any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are listed or traded,
and/or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the shares by the
Company upon vesting of RSUs.

     EXCHANGE PROGRAM. Under to the Plan, the Compensation Committee also has
the power and authority to establish and implement an exchange program that
would permit the Company to offer holders of awards issued under prior
shareholder approved compensation plans to exchange certain options for new
RSUs on terms and conditions to be set by the Committee. The exchange program
is designed to increase the retention and motivational value of awards granted
under Prior Plans. In addition, by exchanging options for RSUs, the Company
will reduce the number of shares of common stock subject to equity awards,
thereby reducing potential dilution to stockholders in the event of significant
increases in the value of its common stock.

     AMENEDMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE. Upon recommendation of the Compensation
Committee, the Board may amend or modify the Plan. The Board must obtain
stockholder approval of any material amendment to the Plan if required by any
applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board of Directors may
amend the  Plan or any Award Agreement, which amendment may be retroactive, in
order to conform it to any present or future law, regulation or ruling relating
to plans of this or similar nature. No amendment or modification of the Plan or
any award agreement may adversely affect any outstanding award without the
written consent of the participant holding the award.

    CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES.  The following is a brief
description of certain federal income tax consequences that will generally
apply to awards issued under the Plan, based on current federal income tax
laws. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things,
does not describe state, local or foreign income and other tax consequences.
Participants should not rely on this discussion for individual tax advice, as
each participant's situation and the tax consequences of exercising awards and
disposing of the underlying shares of common stock will vary depending upon the
specific facts and circumstances involved. Each participant is advised to
consult with his or her own tax advisor.

In general, the recipient of restricted stock units will not recognize taxable
income at the time of grant as long as the award is nontransferable and is
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as a result of performance-based
vesting targets, continued services requirements or other conditions that must
be satisfied before delivery of shares can occur. The recipient will generally
recognize ordinary income when the substantial risk of forfeiture expires, or
is removed, and the shares can be delivered. The Company will generally be
entitled to a corresponding deduction equal to the amount of income the
recipient recognizes. On a subsequent sale of the shares, the recipient will
recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales price
and the participant's adjusted basis in those shares, which will generally be
the amount of income previously recognized by the participant.

                                    18


     MISCELLANEOUS TAX ISSUES. Compensation to a participant who is an employee
which results from awards under the Plan will constitute wages for purposes of
the Federal Insurance Contributions Act and the Federal Unemployment Tax Act
and thus will result in additional tax liability to the Company, generally with
respect to each award at the time that such award is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture or becomes transferable. The Company shall have
the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to
remit to the Company, the minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state,
and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be
withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan.

     NEW PLAN BENEFITS. Pursuant to an exchange offer authorized by the
Compensation Committee, a total of 5,812 RSUs were issued to four holders of
Non-Employee Director stock options in exchange for a total of 36,000 stock
options which were surrendered to the Company on December 7, 2008. The number
of RSUs issued was determined by multiplying the number of options that were
surrendered by the difference between the exercise price of the options
surrendered ($8.00) and the closing price of the Company's common stock on
December 5, 2008 of $9.54, with that product divided by the closing price of
the common stock on December 5, 2009.

On December 15, 2008, the Compensation Committee authorized a similar exchange
offer to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield, respecting
225,000 stock options issued to him under the Key Officer and Employee Plan
that were expire on December 21, 2008. Pursuant to that exchange offer, Mr.
Winfield surrendered his 225,000 options to the Company on December 21, 2008 in
exchange for 84,628 RSUs. The number of RSUs issued was based on an exercise
price of the options surrendered of $7.917 and the closing price of the
Company's common stock on December 19, 2008 of $12.69, using the same formula
as the exchange offer to the holders of the Non-Employee Director options.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to restricted
stock units granted since December 3, 2008 through January 9, 2009 to (i) the
Named Executives (as defined under "Executive Compensation"), (ii) all
executive officers as a group, (iii) all non-executive directors as a group,
and (iv) all non-executive officer employees as a group. The RSUs shown below
are not necessarily indicative of the RSUs that may be granted in the future
since the awards are discretionary and cannot be determined at this time.

    Committee and set forth in the award agreement to be executed upon approval
    of the Plan.


BOARD RECOMMENDATION; INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS

The Board of Directors believes that the Plan will provide a valuable benefit
to the Company by enhancing its ability to attract and retain highly qualified
officers, directors and employees. The Board adopted the Plan and has
recommended that it be submitted to the shareholders at the Annual Meeting for
their approval.

The Company's officers, directors and key employees have an interest in the
proposal to adopt the Plan since each is an eligible participant in such awards
that may be granted under the Plan by the Committee.

   THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE INTERGROUP
CORPORATION 2008 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PLAN.

                        THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
                          AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
                      (As Amended on January 5, 2009)

Purpose:
-------

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors
in fulfilling its responsibility of overseeing management's conduct of the
Company's financial reporting process, the Company's systems of internal
accounting and financial controls, and the annual independent audit of the
Company's financial statements.

In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate
any matter brought to its attention and shall have full access to all books,
records, facilities and personnel of the Company and the power to retain
outside counsel, auditors or other experts for this purpose. The Board and the
Committee are in place to represent the Company's shareholders, and the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm is ultimately
accountable to the Board and the Committee as such representatives of
shareholders. It is the responsibility of the Committee to maintain free and
open means of communication between the Board, the independent registered
public accounting firm and the financial management and internal auditors of
the Company.

The Committee shall review the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis.

Membership:
----------

The Committee shall be comprised of at least three (3) "independent" directors
that meet the composition requirements as defined by the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC
("NASDAQ") as may be modified and supplemented from time to time.  Accordingly,
all of the members of the Committee will be directors:

1.  Who have no relationship to the Company that may interfere with the
exercise of their independence from management and the Company;

2.  Are not affiliates of the Company;

3.  Do not receive any compensation from the Company other than in the capacity
as director; and

4.  Who are financially literate or who become financially literate within a
reasonable period of time after appointment to the Committee.

In addition, at least one member of the Committee will qualify as an audit
committee financial expert as defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual
meeting of the Board and shall serve until their successors shall be duly
elected and qualified. Unless a Chairman of the Committee is elected by the
full Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chairman of the
Committee by majority vote of the full Committee Membership.

Meetings:
--------

The Committee shall meet at least four times annually, or more frequently as
circumstances dictate. A majority of the members of the Committee shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Minutes of each meeting of
the Committee should be recorded by the Secretary to the Committee. Approval by
a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present
shall constitute approval by the Committee. The Committee may also act by

                                   A-1


unanimous written consent without a meeting. As part of its job to foster open
communication, the Committee should meet at least annually with management and
the Company's independent registered public accounting firm in separate
executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of these
groups believe should be discussed privately. In addition, the Committee or at
least its Chairman should meet with the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm and management quarterly to review the Company's financials
consistent with #2 below. The Committee may request any officer or employee of
the Company or the Company's outside counsel or the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm to attend a meeting of the Committee or to
meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee.

Key Responsibilities:
--------------------

The Committee's job is one of oversight, and it recognizes that the Company's
management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements and
that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible
for auditing those financial statements pursuant to professional standards.
Additionally, the Committee recognizes that financial management has more time,
knowledge and detailed information about the Company than do Committee members.
Consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities, the Committee is
not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company's financial
statements or any professional certification as to the outside auditor's work.

The following functions shall be the common recurring activities of the
Committee in carrying out its oversight function. These functions are set forth
as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this
guide as appropriate given the circumstances.

     1.  The Committee shall review with management and the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm the audited financial statements
to be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (or the Annual
Report to Shareholders if distributed prior to the filing of the Form 10-K)
prior to the filing of the Form 10-K or, if deemed appropriate, prior to any
year-end earnings release. The Committee shall review and consider with
Company's independent registered public accounting firm the all matters
required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61, as
amended by SAS No.90, by auditors with audit committees.

     2.  As a whole, or through the Committee chair, the Committee shall review
with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm the Company's
interim financial results to be included in the Company's quarterly reports to
be filed with Securities and Exchange Commission and the matters required to be
discussed by SAS No. 61, as amended by SAS No. 90 with respect to quarterly
financial statements. Such review will occur prior to the Company's filing of
the Form 10-Q or, if deemed appropriate, prior to any quarterly earnings
releases.

     3.  Review disclosures made to the Committee by the Company's CEO and CFO
during their certification process for the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q about any
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or
material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other
employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls.

     4.  The Committee shall:

     (a) request from the Company's independent registered public
     accounting firm annually a formal written statement delineating
     all relationships between the independent registered public
     accounting firm and the Company consistent with Independence
     Standards Board Standard No. 1;

     (b) discuss with the Company's independent registered public
     accounting firm any disclosed relationships or services which
     may impact that firm's objectivity or independence; and

     (c) recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response
     to the Company's independent registered public accounting firm's

                                APPENDIX B

                         THE INTERGROUP CORPORATION
                       2008 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT PLAN

                                Article 1.

                     Establishment, Purpose and Duration

   1.1   Establishment.  The InterGroup Corporation, a Delaware Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as the "Company"), establishes a equity-based
incentive compensation plan to be known as The InterGroup Corporation 2008
Restricted Stock Unit Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") as set forth
in this document. This Plan permits the grant of Restricted Stock Units
("RSUs") to Officers, Directors and Key Employees of the Company.

   1.2   Purpose of this Plan.  The purpose of this Plan is to provide a means
whereby Officers, Directors and Key Employees of the Company develop a sense of
proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial
success of the Company, and to encourage them to devote their best efforts to
the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and
its shareholders. A further purpose of this Plan is to provide a means through
which the Company may attract able individuals to become Employees or serve as
Directors of the Company and to provide a means for such individuals to acquire
and maintain stock ownership in the Company, thereby strengthening their
concern for the welfare of the Company. The Plan will also provide flexibility
for the Company to exchange RSUs for stock options granted under Prior Plans
which will reduce the number of Shares of common stock subject to equity
awards, thereby reducing potential dilution to the Company's shareholders in
the event of significant increases in the value of its common stock.

   1.3   Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Effective Date"); however, no RSUs that
may be granted shall vest until the Plan is approved by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company present or represented
and entitled to vote on the Plan at a stockholders' meeting or by written
consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. The Plan
shall be rescinded and all equity compensation granted hereunder shall be null
and void unless within six months from the date of the adoption of the Plan by
the Board it shall have been approved by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

   1.4   Duration of this Plan.  Unless sooner terminated as provided herein,
this Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date. After this
Plan is terminated, no Awards may be granted but Awards previously granted
shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and
conditions and this Plan's terms and conditions.

                               Article 2.

                               Article 3.

                             Administration

   3.1   General.  The Committee shall be responsible for administering this
Plan, subject to this Article 3 and the other provisions of this Plan. The
Committee may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, agents, and other
individuals, any of whom may be an Employee, and the Committee, the Company,
and its officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice,
opinions, or valuations of any such individuals. All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Committee shall be final and
binding upon the Participants, the Company, and all other interested
individuals.

   3.2   Authority of the Committee.  The Committee shall have full and
exclusive discretionary power to interpret the terms and the intent of this
Plan and any Award Agreement or other agreement or document ancillary to or in
connection with this Plan, to determine eligibility for Awards and to adopt
such rules, regulations, forms, instruments, and guidelines for administering
this Plan as the Committee may deem necessary or proper. Such authority shall
include, but not be limited to, selecting Award recipients, establishing all
Award terms and conditions, including the terms and conditions set forth in
Award Agreements, granting Awards as an alternative to, or as the form of,
payment for grants or rights earned or due under compensation plans or
arrangements of the Company, including an exchange of awards granted under
Prior Plans, construing any ambiguous provision of the Plan or any Award
Agreement, and, subject to Article 9, adopting modifications and amendments to
this Plan or any Award Agreement, including without limitation, any that are
necessary to comply with the laws of the countries and other jurisdictions in
which the Company and/or its Subsidiaries operate.

   3.3   Exchange Program.  The Committee shall also have the power and
authority to establish and implement an exchange program that would permit the
Company to offer holders of awards issued under Prior Plans to exchange certain
of their options for new RSUs on terms and conditions to be set by the
Committee. The exchange program would be designed to increase the retention and
motivational value of awards granted under Prior Plans. In addition, by
exchanging options for RSUs, the Company will reduce the number of shares of
common stock subject to equity awards, thereby reducing potential dilution to
stockholders in the event of significant increases in the value of its common
stock.

   3.4   Delegation.  The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members
or to one or more officers of the Company, and/or its Subsidiaries such
administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or
any individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may
employ one or more individuals to render advice with respect to any
responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under this Plan. The
Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to
do one or both of the following on the same basis as can the Committee: (a)
designate Employees to be recipients of Awards; and (b) determine the size of
any such Awards; provided, however, (i) the Committee shall not delegate such
responsibilities to any such officer for Awards granted to an Employee who is
considered an Insider; (ii) the resolution providing such authorization sets
forth the total number of Awards such officer(s) may grant; and (iii) the
officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and
scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.

                                   B-4


                               Article 4.

               Shares Subject to this Plan and Maximum Awards

   4.1   Number of Shares Available for Awards.  Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.3 herein, the maximum number of Shares available for
issuance to Participants under this Plan (the "Share Authorization") shall be
two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares.

   4.2   Share Usage.  Shares covered by an Award shall only be counted as used
to the extent they are actually issued. Any Shares related to Awards which
terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or otherwise without the
issuance of such Shares, shall be available again for grant under this Plan.
Moreover, if the tax withholding requirements with respect to any Award granted
under this Plan are satisfied by tendering Shares to the Company (by either
actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of Shares issued, net of
the Shares tendered, if any, will be deemed delivered for purposes of
determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under this
Plan. The Shares available for issuance under this Plan may be authorized and
unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

   4.3   Adjustments in Authorized Shares.  Notwithstanding the limitations set
forth in Section 4.1, in the event of a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
stock dividend, stock split or other change in corporate structure or
capitalization affecting the Common Stock, the Committee shall make an
appropriate adjustment in the maximum number of shares available under the Plan
and in the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted under the Plan.

                               Article 5.

                     Eligibility and Participation

   5.1   Eligibility.  Individuals eligible to participate in this Plan include
all Employees, Officers and Directors and holders of awards from Prior Plans.

   5.2   Actual Participation.  Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the
Committee may, from time to time, select from all eligible individuals, those
individuals to whom Awards shall be granted and shall determine, in its sole
discretion, the nature of, any and all terms permissible by law, and the amount
of each Award.

                        Restricted Stock Units

   8.1   Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and provisions
of this Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant
Restricted Stock Units to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall
determine. Restricted Stock Units are not actual Shares of the Company's common
stock, but rather promises to deliver common stock in the future, subject to
certain vesting requirements and restrictions as may be determined by the
Committee.

   8.2   Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.  Each Restricted Stock Unit grant
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period(s) of
Restriction, the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other
provisions as the Committee shall determine. No Awards of Restricted Stock
Units shall vest until at least six months after shareholder approval of the
Plan.

                                    B-5


   8.3   Registration of Shares.  The Shares to be delivered pursuant to the
RSUs has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"). Following ratification of the plan by the stockholders, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register the shares subject to the
plan under the 1933 Act or any other applicable law. Shares of stock issued
pursuant to the plan may bear an appropriate restrictive legend as determined
by the Committee.

   8.4   Other Restrictions.  The Committee shall impose such other conditions
and/or restrictions on any Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Plan
as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that
Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Restricted Stock Unit,
restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals, time-
based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance
goals, time-based restrictions, restrictions under applicable laws or under the
requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are listed
or traded, and/or holding requirements or sale restrictions placed on the
Shares by the Company upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units.

   8.5   Voting Rights.  A Participant shall have no voting rights at any time
with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder.

   8.6   Termination of Employment.  Each Award Agreement shall set forth the
extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain Restricted Stock
Units following termination of the Participant's employment with or provision
of services to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, or services as a member of
the Company's Board of directors, as the case may be. Such provisions shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the
Award Agreement entered into with each Participant, need not be uniform among
all Restricted Stock Units issued pursuant to this Plan, and may reflect
distinctions based on the reasons for termination.

   8.7   Transferability of Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock Units are
personal to the Participant and may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated.

                               Article 9.

                      Amendment and Discontinuance.

       Upon recommendation of the Committee, the Board may, at any time and
from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the Plan. The Board must
obtain stockholder approval of any material amendment to the Plan if required
by any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule. The Board of
Directors may amend the  Plan or any Award Agreement, which amendment may be
retroactive, in order to conform it to any present or future law, regulation or
ruling relating to plans of this or similar nature. No amendment or
modification of the Plan or any award agreement may adversely affect any
outstanding award without the written consent of the participant holding the
award.

                               Article 10

                              Withholding

minimum statutory amount to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes, domestic
or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.

                                    B-6


   10.2   Share Withholding.  With respect to withholding required upon the
lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock Units, or any other taxable event
arising as a result of an Award granted hereunder, Participants may elect,
subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding
requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having
a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the
minimum statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction. All such
elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant,
and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

                               Article 11.

       All obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards
granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company.

                               Article 12.

                           General Provisions

   12.1   Legend.  The certificates for Shares may include any legend which the
Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer of such
Shares.

   12.2   Severability.  In the event any provision of this Plan shall be held
illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

   12.3   Requirements of Law.  The granting of Awards and the issuance of
Shares under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

   12.4   Investment Representations.  The Committee may require any individual
receiving Shares pursuant to an Award under this Plan to represent and warrant
in writing that the individual is acquiring the Shares for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares.

   12.5   No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine
whether cash, Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall
be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

   12.6   Governing Law.  The Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of
law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation
of this Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Unless otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under this Plan are
deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or
state courts of California, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of
