        (a)  Administration by Board. The Board shall administer the Plan unless
and until the Board delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in
subsection 3(c).

        (b)  Powers of Board. The Board shall have the power, subject to, and
within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:

        (i)    To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible
under the Plan shall be granted Stock Awards; when and how each Stock Award
shall be granted; what type or combination of types of Stock Award shall be
granted; the provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be

receive Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such
person.

        (ii)  To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards granted under
it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its
administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any
defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Stock Award Agreement,
in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the
Plan fully effective.

        (iii) To amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in Section 13.

        (iv)  To effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of
any adversely affected Optionholder, (1) the reduction of the exercise price of

substitution therefor of (A) a new Option under the Plan covering the same or a
different number of shares of Common Stock, (B) a stock bonus, (C) the right to
acquire restricted stock, (D) cash and/or (E) other valuable consideration (as
determined by the Board, in its sole discretion).

        (v)  Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the
Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company
which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.

        (c)  Delegation to Committee.

        (i)    General. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a
Committee or Committees of one (1) or more members of the Board, and the term
"Committee" shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been
delegated. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall
have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore
possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of
the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and
references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or
subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The
Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the
administration of the Plan.

        (ii)  Committee Composition when Common Stock is Publicly Traded. At
such time as the Common Stock is publicly traded, in the discretion of the
Board, a Committee may consist solely of two or more Outside Directors, in

income resulting from such Stock Award or (b) not

persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of
the Code and/or (2) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board

eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

        (d)  Effect of Board's Decision. All determinations, interpretations and
constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by
any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

4.    SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

        (a)  Share Reserve. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to
adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, the Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate five million
(5,000,000) shares of Common Stock, plus an annual increase to be added each
January 1, beginning January 1, 2001, equal to the lesser of (i) five and
one-half percent (5.5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such January 1 or (ii) three million (3,000,000) shares of Common
Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may designate a smaller number
of shares of Common Stock to be added to the share reserve as of a particular
January 1. The shares that may be issuable under incentive stock options shall
be limited to the above maximum number of shares reserved under the Plan.

        (b)  Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any Stock Award shall
for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without
having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under
such Stock Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under
the Plan. In addition, if any stock award issued under the Company's 1992
Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1995 Management Stock Option Plan shall for any
reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been
exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such stock
award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under this Plan
provided such shares shall not be issuable under an incentive stock option.

        (c)  Source of Shares. The shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan
may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

        (d)  Share Reserve Limitation. Prior to the Listing Date and to the
extent then required by Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of all outstanding Options and the total number of shares of Common Stock
provided for under any stock bonus or similar plan of the Company shall not
exceed the applicable percentage as calculated in accordance with the conditions
and exclusions of Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations, based on the shares of Common Stock of the Company that are
outstanding at the time the calculation is made.

5.    ELIGIBILITY.

        (a)  Eligibility for Specific Stock Awards. Incentive Stock Options may
be granted only to Employees. Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock Options
may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants.

        (b)  Ten Percent Shareholders.

        (i)    A Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock
Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten

and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from
the date of grant.

        (ii)  Prior to the Listing Date, a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be

date of grant as is permitted by Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option.

        (iii) Prior to the Listing Date, a Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be
granted a restricted stock award unless the purchase price of the restricted

Common Stock at the date of grant or (ii) such lower percentage of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock at the date of grant as is permitted by
Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time
of the grant of the Option.

        (c)  Section 162(m) Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Section 12
relating to adjustments upon changes in the shares of Common Stock, no Employee
shall be eligible to be granted Options covering more than one million two
hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of Common Stock during any calendar year.
This subsection 5(c) shall not apply prior to the Listing Date and, following
the Listing Date, this subsection 5(c) shall not apply until (i) the earliest
of: (1) the first material modification of the Plan (including any increase in
the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan in
accordance with Section 4); (2) the issuance of all of the shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (3) the expiration of the Plan; or
(4) the first meeting of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected that

the Exchange Act; or (ii) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

        (d)  Consultants.

        (i)    Prior to the Listing Date, a Consultant shall not be eligible for
the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, either the offer or the
sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant is not exempt under Rule 701
of the Securities Act ("Rule 701") because of the nature of the services that
the Consultant is providing to the Company, or because the Consultant is not a
natural person, or as otherwise provided by Rule 701, unless the Company
determines that such grant need not comply with the requirements of Rule 701 and
will satisfy another exemption under the Securities Act as well as comply with
the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions.

        (ii)  From and after the Listing Date, a Consultant shall not be
eligible for the grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8
Registration Statement under the Securities Act ("Form S-8") is not available to
register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such
Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is
providing to the Company, or because the Consultant is not a natural person, or
as otherwise provided by the rules governing the use of Form S-8, unless the
Company determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another
manner under the Securities Act (e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or
(B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply
with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such
grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions.

        (iii) Rule 701 and Form S-8 generally are available to consultants and
advisors only if (i) they are natural persons; (ii) they provide bona fide
services to the issuer, its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries or
majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer's parent; and (iii) the services are
not in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising
transaction, and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for
the issuer's securities.

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

6.    OPTION PROVISIONS.

        Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately
designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of
grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates
will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of
Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each
Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in
the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

        (a)  Term. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten
Percent Shareholders, no Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted,
and no Incentive Stock Option granted on or after the Listing Date shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted.

        (b)  Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the
provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the exercise
price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the
date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock
Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the
preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or
substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of
Section 424(a) of the Code.

        (c)  Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Subject to the
provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the exercise
price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall
be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The
exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option granted on or after the Listing
Date shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value
of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with
an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such
Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option
in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

        (d)  Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at
the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or
subsequently in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the
Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other
similar arrangement with the Optionholder or (3) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock
acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares
of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six
(6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge
to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is
incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined
in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment.

        In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be
compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of
interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable
provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest
under the deferred payment arrangement.

7

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

        (e)  Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder
only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may,
by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the
Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

        (f)    Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Nonstatutory
Stock Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall not be transferable except
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, to the extent provided
in the Option Agreement, to such further extent as permitted by
Section 260.140.41(d) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the
time of the grant of the Option, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. A Nonstatutory Stock Option granted
on or after the Listing Date shall be transferable to the extent provided in the
Option Agreement. If the Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for
transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written
notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third
party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be
entitled to exercise the Option.

        (g)  Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock
subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in
periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be
subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be
exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may
deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The
provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions
governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may
be exercised.

        (h)  Minimum Vesting Prior to the Listing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing subsection 6(g), to the extent that the following restrictions on
vesting are required by Section 260.140.41(f) of Title 10 of the California Code
of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, then:

        (i)    Options granted prior to the Listing Date to an Employee who is
not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total
number of shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per
year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to
reasonable conditions such as continued employment; and

        (ii)  Options granted prior to the Listing Date to Officers, Directors
or Consultants may be made fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions
such as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by
the Company.

        (i)    Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that
the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of
termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of
(i) the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's
Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option
Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days for Options
granted prior to the Listing Date unless such termination is for cause), or
(ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
terminate.

        (j)    Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement
may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of
the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other

8

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

than upon the Optionholder's death or Disability) would be prohibited at any
time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the
registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set
forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months
after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the
exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration
requirements.

        (k)  Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the
Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder
was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve
(12) months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period
specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six
(6) months for Options granted prior to the Listing Date) or (ii) the expiration
of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after
termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

        (l)    Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or
(ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option
Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a
reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the
Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by
the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the
option upon the Optionholder's death pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 6(f), but
only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen
(18) months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period
specified in the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six
(6) months for Options granted prior to the Listing Date) or (2) the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after
death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate.

        (m)  Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of
the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of
the Option. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), any
unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase
option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines
to be appropriate. Provided that the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h)
is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at
least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid
a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following
exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically provides in the
Option.

        (n)  Right of Repurchase. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in
subsection 11(h), the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the
Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to repurchase all or any part of
the vested shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the
exercise of the Option. Provided that the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection
11(h) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its repurchase option until
at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to
avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed
following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically
provides in the Option.

        (o)  Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a
provision whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to exercise
a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of
the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received
upon the exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided in this subsection
6(o), such

9

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

right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of
the Bylaws of the Company.

        (p)  Re-Load Options.

        (i)    Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board to make or
not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board shall have the authority (but
not an obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a provision
entitling the Optionholder to a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in the event
the Optionholder exercises the Option evidenced by the Option Agreement, in
whole or in part, by surrendering other shares of Common Stock in accordance
with this Plan and the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement. Unless
otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the Optionholder shall not
surrender shares of Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the
Company, unless such shares have been held for more than six (6) months (or such
longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for
financial accounting purposes).

        (ii)  Any such Re-Load Option shall (1) provide for a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock surrendered as
part or all of the exercise price of such Option; (2) have an expiration date
which is the same as the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which
gave rise to such Re-Load Option; and (3) have an exercise price which is equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
subject to the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Re-Load Option shall be subject to the same
exercise price and term provisions heretofore described for Options under the
Plan.

        (iii) Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board may designate at the time of the grant
of the original Option; provided, however, that the designation of any Re-Load
Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand
dollar ($100,000) annual limitation on the exercisability of Incentive Stock
Options described in subsection 11(d) and in Section 422(d) of the Code. There
shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option. Any such Re-Load Option shall
be subject to the availability of sufficient shares of Common Stock under
subsection 4(a) and the "Section 162(m) Limitation" on the grants of Options
under subsection 5(c) and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as
the Board may determine which are not inconsistent with the express provisions
of the Plan regarding the terms of Options.

10

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

7.    NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTIONS.

        Without any further action of the Board, each Non-Employee Director
shall be granted Nonstatutory Stock Options as described in subsections 7(a) and
7(b) (collectively, "Non-Employee Director Options"). Each Non-Employee Director
Option shall include the substance of the terms set forth in subsections 7(c)
through 7(k).

        (a)  Stock Option Grants.

        (i)    Initial Grants. After the IPO Date, each person who is elected or
appointed for the first time to be a Non-Employee Director automatically shall,
upon the date of his or her initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee
Director by the Board or shareholders of the Company, be granted an Initial
Grant to purchase forty thousand (40,000) shares of Common Stock on the terms
and conditions set forth herein; provided, that a Non-Employee Director who is
on the Board on the IPO Date shall be granted his or her Initial Grant on that
date.

        (ii)  Annual Grants. After the IPO Date, each person who is a
Non-Employee Director on the Board shall automatically as of the day following
the date of the annual shareholders' meeting be granted an Annual Grant to
purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of Common Stock on the terms and
conditions set forth herein.

        (b)  Term. Each Non-Employee Director Option shall have a term of ten
(10) years from the date it is granted.

        (c)  Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Non-Employee Director
Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock
subject to the Non-Employee Director Option on the date of grant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Employee Director Option may be granted
with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if
such Non-Employee Director Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or
substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of
Section 424(a) of the Code.

        (d)  Vesting.

        (i)    Initial Grants. Initial Grants shall vest one-thirty-sixth
(1/36th) for each month of Continuous Service of the Non-Employee Director from
the date of the stock option grant.

        (ii)  Annual Grants. Annual Grants shall vest one-twelfth (1/12th) for
each month of Continuous Service of the Non-Employee Director from the date of
the stock option grant.

        (e)  Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to a
Non-Employee Director Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable
statutes and regulations, in any combination of (i) cash or check, (ii) delivery
to the Company of other Common Stock, (ii) deferred payment or (iv) any other
form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and provided in
the Non-Employee Director Option Agreement; provided, however, that at any time
that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par
value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by
deferred payment. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest
shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate
of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable
provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest
under the deferred payment arrangement.

        (f)    Transferability. A Non-Employee Director Option shall not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Non-Employee Director only by the
Non-Employee Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Employee Director
may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the

11

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

Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the
Non-Employee Director, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Non-Employee
Director Option.

        (g)  Termination of Continuous Service. In the event a Non-Employee
Director's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Non-Employee
Director's death or Disability), the Non-Employee Director may exercise his or
her Non-Employee Director Option (to the extent that the Non-Employee Director
was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination) but only within such
period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following
the termination of the Non-Employee Director's Continuous Service, or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Non-Employee Director Option as set forth in the
Non-Employee Director Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Non-Employee
Director does not exercise his or her Non-Employee Director Option within the
time specified in the Non-Employee Director Option Agreement, the Non-Employee
Director Option shall terminate.

        (h)  Extension of Termination Date. If the exercise of the Non-Employee
Director Option following the termination of the Non-Employee Director's
Continuous Service (other than upon the Non-Employee Director's death or
Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of
shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act,
then the Non-Employee Director Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the term of the Non-Employee Director Option set forth in
subsection 7(c) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the
termination of the Non-Employee Director's Continuous Service during which the
exercise of the Non-Employee Director Option would not violate such registration
requirements.

        (i)    Disability of Non-Employee Director. In the event a Non-Employee
Director's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Non-Employee
Director's Disability, the Non-Employee Director may exercise his or her
Non-Employee Director Option (to the extent that the Non-Employee Director was
entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only within such
period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months
following such termination or (ii) the expiration of the term of the
Non-Employee Director Option as set forth in the Non-Employee Director Option
Agreement. If, after termination, the Non-Employee Director does not exercise
his or her Non-Employee Director Option within the time specified herein, the
Non-Employee Director Option shall terminate.

        (j)    Death of Non-Employee Director. In the event (i) a Non-Employee
Director's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Non-Employee
Director's death or (ii) the Non-Employee Director dies within the three-month
period after the termination of the Non-Employee Director's Continuous Service
for a reason other than death, then the Non-Employee Director Option may be
exercised (to the extent the Non-Employee Director was entitled to exercise the
Non-Employee Director Option as of the date of death) by the Non-Employee
Director's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Non-Employee Director Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated
to exercise the Non-Employee Director Option upon the Non-Employee Director's
death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen
(18) months following the date of death or (2) the expiration of the term of
such Non-Employee Director Option as set forth in the Non-Employee Director
Option Agreement. If, after death, the Non-Employee Director Option is not
exercised within the time specified herein, the Non-Employee Director Option
shall terminate.

8.    PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.

        (a)  Stock Bonus Awards. Each stock bonus agreement shall be in such
form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem
appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus agreements may change from
time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate stock bonus agreements
need not be identical, but each stock bonus agreement shall include (through
incorporation

12

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

of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance
of each of the following provisions:

        (i)    Consideration. A stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for
past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit.

        (ii)  Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection
11(h), shares of Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement may, but
need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in
accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

        (iii) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the
"Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the
shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the
date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus agreement.

        (iv)  Transferability. For a stock bonus award made before the Listing
Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement
shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant
only by the Participant. For a stock bonus award made on or after the Listing
Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement
shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as
are set forth in the stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its
discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement
remains subject to the terms of the stock bonus agreement.

        (b)  Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock purchase agreement
shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board
shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of the restricted stock
purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions
of separate restricted stock purchase agreements need not be identical, but each
restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of
provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of
each of the following provisions:

        (i)    Purchase Price. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b)
regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the purchase price under each restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and
designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement. For restricted stock
awards made prior to the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the date
such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. For restricted
stock awards made on or after the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on
the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated.

        (ii)  Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in
cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to
a deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or
(iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board in its discretion; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is
incorporated in Delaware, then payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as
defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred
payment.

        (iii) Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection
11(h), shares of Common Stock acquired under the restricted stock purchase
agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of
the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

13

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

        (iv)  Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the
"Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire
any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not
vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock
purchase agreement.

        (v)  Transferability. For a restricted stock award made before the
Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted
stock purchase agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Participant only by the Participant. For a restricted stock award made on or
after the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the
restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant
only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock
purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as
Common Stock awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains
subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement.

9.    COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

        (a)  Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the
Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock
required to satisfy such Stock Awards.

        (b)  Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from
each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such
authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares
of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this
undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act
the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain
from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for
the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock
under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to
issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and until
such authority is obtained.

10.  USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

        Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall
constitute general funds of the Company.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

        (a)  Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have
the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised
or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in
accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award
stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it
will vest.

        (b)  Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder
of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of
Common Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
terms.

        (c)  No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any
instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon
any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in
the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect
the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an
Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a
Consultant pursuant to the terms of

14

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

such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the
service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and
any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company
or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

        (d)  Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time
by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and
its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or
portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they
were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

        (e)  Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a
condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a
purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is
knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or
she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser
representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant
is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant's own
account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing
the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant
to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock
Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not
be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The
Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or
appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but
not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

        (f)    Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a
Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local
tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common
Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the
Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the
Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment;
(ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares
of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the
exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award, provided,
however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the
minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (iii) delivering to the
Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

        (g)  Information Obligation. Prior to the Listing Date, to the extent
required by Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial statements to Participants at
least annually. This subsection 11(g) shall not apply to key Employees whose
duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent
information.

        (h)  Repurchase Limitation. The terms of any repurchase option shall be
specified in the Stock Award and may be either at Fair Market Value at the time
of repurchase or at not less than the original purchase price. To the extent
required by Section 260.140.41 and Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations at the time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase
option contained in a Stock Award granted prior to the Listing Date to a person
who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon the terms described
below:

        (i)    Fair Market Value. If the repurchase option gives the Company the
right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of employment at
not less than the Fair Market

15

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

Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of termination
of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for
cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common
Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the
case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after such
date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or
such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for
example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of
the Code regarding "qualified small business stock") and (ii) the right
terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded.

        (ii)  Original Purchase Price. If the repurchase option gives the
Company the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of
Continuous Service at the original purchase price, then (i) the right to
repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the rate of at least
twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years
from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock
Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (ii) the right to repurchase
shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for
the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous
Service (or in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of
Options after such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date
of the exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and
the Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of
Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding "qualified small business stock").

12.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

        (a)  Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common
Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of
consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other
than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the
receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan
pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the maximum number of securities subject to
award to any person pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock
Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities
and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards.
The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration"
by the Company.)

        (b)  Change in Control. In the event of (i) a dissolution, liquidation
or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a
reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by
virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities,
cash or otherwise, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any
surviving corporation shall assume any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan
or shall substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same
consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this
subsection 12(c)) for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) such Stock
Awards shall continue in full force and effect. In the event any surviving
corporation refuses to assume or continue such Stock Awards, or to substitute
similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to
Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated,
the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised shall be accelerated,
and the Stock Awards terminated if not exercised prior to such event.

16

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

13.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

        (a)  Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time,
may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 12 relating to
adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, no amendment shall be effective unless
approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval
is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3
or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements.

        (b)  Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit
any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not
limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of
Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the
exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate
deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers.

        (c)  Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the
Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable
to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be
provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or
Incentive Stock Options granted under it into compliance therewith.

        (d)  No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Stock Award granted
before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan
unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the
Participant consents in writing.

        (e)  Amendment of Stock Awards. The Board at any time, and from time to
time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however,
that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such
amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and
(ii) the Participant consents in writing.

14.  TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

        (a)  Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by
the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Stock Awards may be
granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

        (b)  No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan
shall not impair rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the
Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant.

15.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

        The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Stock
Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted)
unless and until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company,
which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board.

16.  CHOICE OF LAW.

        The law of the State of California shall govern all questions concerning
the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to
such state's conflict of laws rules.
