           (1) The Option shall become exercisable with respect to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Number of Option Shares upon Participant’s completion of
one (1) year of Service measured from the Vesting Commencement Date and with
respect to the balance of the Number of Option Shares in a series of thirty-six

additional month of Service over the thirty-six (36) month period measured from
the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date.   (2) The Option shall
become exercisable with respect to one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the Number of
Option Shares upon Participant’s completion of each full month of Service
measured from the Vesting Commencement Date. In the event of Participant’s
termination of Service by reason of death, the Option shall become exercisable
with respect to an additional Number of Option Shares for which the Option would
have become exercisable had Participant remained in Service for an additional
period of twelve (12) months. In no event shall the Option become exercisable
for any additional Number of Option Shares after Participant’s termination of
Service.]   In the event of Participant’s termination of Service by reason of
death, the Option shall become exercisable with respect to an additional Number
of Option Shares for which the Option would have become exercisable had
Participant remained in Service for an additional period of twelve (12) months.
In no event shall the Option become exercisable for any additional Number of
Option Shares after Participant’s termination of Service.

          2. Option Term. This Option shall have a maximum term of seven (7)
years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Section 5 or pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

          3. Limited Transferability. During the lifetime of the Participant,
the Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s
guardian or legal representative. The Option shall not be subject in any manner
to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Following the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent provided in
Section 5, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or by any
person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the
then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

          4. Dates of Exercise. This Option shall become exercisable for the
Number of Option Shares in one or more installments in accordance with the
Exercise Schedule set forth above. As the Option becomes exercisable for such
installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the Option shall remain
exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of the Option term under Section 5 or pursuant to the provisions of
the Plan.

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

          5. Termination of Service. During the limited period of
post-employment or post-service exercisability, as set forth below, this Option
may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the Number of Option Shares
for which this Option is exercisable at the time of Participant’s termination of
Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier)
upon the Expiration Date, this Option shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding for any such Number of Option Shares for which the Option has not
otherwise been exercised. However, this Option shall, immediately upon
Participant’s termination of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to be
outstanding to the extent this Option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

     The Option term specified in Section 2 shall terminate (and this Option
shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the
following provisions become applicable:

               (a) Should Participant’s Service terminate or cease for any
reason (other than death, Disability, for Good Reason or for Cause) while this
Option is outstanding, then Participant (or any person or persons to whom this
Option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Section 3) shall
have a thirty (30)-day period measured from the date of such termination or
cessation during which to exercise this Option, but in no event shall this
Option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

               (b) Should Participant’s Service terminate or cease by reason of
death while this Option is outstanding, then this Option may be exercised by (i)
the personal representative of Participant’s estate or (ii) the person or
persons to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to Participant’s will or the
laws of inheritance following Participant’s death. Any such right to exercise
this Option shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the
date of Participant’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

               (c) Should Participant’s Service terminate or cease by reason of
Disability while this Option is outstanding, then Participant (or any person or
persons to whom this Option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer
under Section 3) shall have a twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of
such termination during which to exercise this Option. In no event shall this
Option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

               (d) Should Participant’s Service be terminated or cease for Good
Reason while this Option is outstanding, then Participant (or any person or
persons to whom this Option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer
under Section 3) shall have a twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of
such termination during which to exercise this Option. In no event shall this
Option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

               (e) Should Participant’s Service be terminated for Cause, then
this Option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

               (f) Should Participant’s Service terminate or cease (other than
termination for Good Reason, Cause or by reason of death or Disability) while
this Option is

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

outstanding, and if Participant is a Section 16 Insider at the time of such
termination or cessation of Service, then any such right to exercise this Option
shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of
(i) the close of business on the last business day of the seventh month
following the date of Participant’s termination or cessation of Service or (ii)
the Expiration Date.

               (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of this Option
within the applicable periods set forth in this Section 5 is prevented by the
provisions of Section 9, the Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30)
days after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option
is exercisable, but in any event, no later than the Expiration Date.

          6. Adjustment. In the event of any increase or decrease in the number
of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from the declaration or payment of a
stock dividend, any recapitalization resulting in a stock split, combination or
exchange of shares or other increase or decrease in such Shares without the
Company’s receipt of consideration, then equitable adjustments shall be made to
(i) the total number of shares subject to this Option and (ii) the Exercise
Price in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate.

          7. Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of
the issuance of the Shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced
by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date the
Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 6.

          8. Manner of Exercising Option.

               (a) In order to exercise this Option with respect to all or any

must take the following actions:

                    (i) Execute and deliver by means of electronic or written
notice to the Company (or a designated broker acting as agent for the Company) a

                   (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
shares in one or both of the following forms:

                    (A) cash or check made payable to the Company; or     

                    (B) through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant
to which Participant (or any other person or persons exercising the Option)
shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a brokerage firm
(reasonably acceptable to the Company) to effect

4 

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

the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Company, out of the
sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable
Taxes (as defined below) and (ii) to the Company to deliver the certificates for
the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in
order to complete the sale.

          For purposes of this Agreement, “Taxes” shall mean all applicable
income tax, employment tax, payroll tax, social security tax, social insurance,
contributions, payment on account obligations, national and local tax or other
payments required to be withheld by the Company by reason of exercise of the
Option.

          Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in
connection with the Option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must
accompany the Notice of Exercise (or other notification procedure) delivered to
the Company in connection with the Option exercise.

               (iii) Furnish to the Company appropriate documentation that the
person or persons exercising the Option (if other than Participant) have the

exercising this Option) a certificate for the purchased Number of Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

               (c) In no event may this Option be exercised for any fractional
shares.

          9. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

               (a) The exercise of this Option and the issuance of the Number of
Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Company
and Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and
with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq Global
Market, if applicable) on which the Shares may be listed for trading at the time
of such exercise and issuance.

               (b) The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Company to be necessary to the
lawful issuance and sale of any Shares pursuant to this Option shall relieve the
Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Shares
as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.

Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of Shares which may without
stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this Option shall be void
with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of Shares issuable under the Plan is obtained

which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s
Service at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.
