--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)             Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the
Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the
Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

(i)               to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii)              to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock
Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted hereunder;

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

(iv)             to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

(v)              to determine the terms and conditions, of any Option or Stock
Purchase Right granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions include, but are
not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock
Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria),
any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any
restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the
Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(vi)             to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may
be settled in cash under subsection 9(f) instead of Common Stock;

(vii)            to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then current
Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such
Option has declined since the date the Option was granted;

(viii)           to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

(ix)             to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating
to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established
for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax
laws;

(x)              to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by
electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise
of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a Fair Market
Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The Fair Market Value of the
Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to
be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by Optionees to have Shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions
as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(xi)             to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the Plan.

(c)             Effect of Administrator’s Decision.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.

5.              Eligibility.

(a)             Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.

(b)             Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this
Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(c)             Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in
any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

6.              Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption
by the Board.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

7.              Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than
ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as
may be provided in the Option Agreement.

8.              Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(a)             The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator,
but shall be subject to the following:

(i)               In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A)              granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such
Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise
price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.

(B)              granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price
shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.

(ii)              In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

(A)              granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of grant of such
Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise
price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of the grant.

(B)              granted to any other Service Provider, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.

(iii)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a
per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or
other corporate transaction.

(b)             The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration  may consist of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company
under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with
the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  In making
its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

9.              Exercise of Option.

(a)             Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such
times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth
in the Option Agreement, but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year over
five (5) years from the date the Option is granted.  Unless the Administrator
provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during
any unpaid leave of absence.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or
electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the
person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares
with respect to which the Option is

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

exercised.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment
authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the
Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of
the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and
his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise
of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares
promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of
Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under
the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(b)             Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If an
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her
Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at
least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement).  To the extent that the Optionee is not
entitled to exercise the Option on the date of such termination, or if the
Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

(c)             Disability of Optionee.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of Optionee’s disability, the Optionee may within twelve
(12) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), exercise an Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it
at the date of such termination.  If such disability is not a “disability” as
such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option such Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to
be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as
a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the day three months and one day following such
termination.  To the extent that the Optionee is not entitled to exercise the
Option on the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such
Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(d)             Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the
date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent vested on the date of
death.  If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to the entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan.  The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the
Optionee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option
under the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.  If the Option
is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)             Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

10.            Limited Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. 
Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options and Stock Purchase
Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by
the Optionee. If the Administrator in its sole discretion makes an Option or
Stock Purchase Right transferable, such Option or Stock Purchase Right may only
be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or
(iii) to family members (within the meaning of Rule 701 of the Securities Act)
through gifts or domestic relations orders, as permitted by Rule 701 of the
Securities Act.

11.            Stock Purchase Rights.

(a)             Rights to Purchase.  Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.  After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions
related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be
entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such
person must accept such offer.  The terms of the offer shall comply in all
respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations.  The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock
purchase agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

(b)             Repurchase Option.  Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of
the purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability).  The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to the Company.  The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine, but in no case at a rate of less than 20% per year
over five years from the date of purchase.

(c)             Other Provisions.  The Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(d)             Rights as a Shareholder.  Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a shareholder
and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records
of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  No adjustment shall be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12 of
the Plan.

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.            Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

(a)             Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt
of consideration by the Company.  The conversion of any convertible securities
of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of
consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

(b)             Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify the
Optionee at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action.  To the
extent it has not been previously exercised, the Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c)             Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the
event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the
right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned
Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable.  If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or
sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or
electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such
period.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the
option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of
Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior
to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or
other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by
holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that
if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may,
with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to
be received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each
Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair
market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock
in the merger or sale of assets.

13.            Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  The date of
grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date
on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock
Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. 
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to
whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

14.            Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)             Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b)             Shareholder Approval.  The Board shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply
with Applicable Laws.

(c)             Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.

15.            Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)             Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option  unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

(b)             Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of
an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.

16.            Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority
is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve
the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such
Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

17.            Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

18.            Shareholder Approval.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and
manner required under Applicable Laws.

19.            Information to Optionees and Purchasers.  The Company shall
provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to
the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Optionee or
purchaser has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and, in
the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the
period such individual owns such Shares, copies of annual financial statements. 
The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees
whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent
information.
