of an option to Optionee.

    C.  All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
to them in the attached Appendix.

    NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

    1.  Grant of Option.  The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the
Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in
the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time
during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

    2.  Option Term.  This option shall have a term of ten (10) 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 Paragraph 5 or 6.

    3.  Limited Transferability.  This option may be transferred to any person
by will and by the laws of descent and distribution following Optionee's death.
This option also may be transferred during the lifetime of Optionee by gift and
pursuant to a domestic relations order to members of Optionee's Immediate Family
in accordance with procedures determined by the Plan Administrator.

    4.  Dates of Exercise.  This option shall become exercisable for the Option
Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. 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 Paragraph 5 or 6.

    5.  Cessation of Service.  The option term specified in Paragraph 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 Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than
death, Permanent Disability, Cause or termination of Service by the Corporation
(or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for any reason
other than Cause) while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a
period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of
Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option

    (b) Should the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or
retaining Optionee) terminate Optionee's Service for any reason other than Cause
while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve
(12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which

time after the Expiration Date.

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

    (c) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the personal
representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option
is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of
descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this option. Such
right 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 Optionee's death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

    (d) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while
this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve

time after the Expiration Date.

    (e) Should Optionee's Service be terminated for Cause, then this option

    (f)  During the applicable post-Service exercise period, this option may not
be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested Option Shares
for which the option is exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of
Service. Upon the expiration of such exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any
vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, this
option shall, immediately upon Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason,
terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option Shares in which
Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested or for which this option is not
otherwise at that time exercisable.

    6.  Special Acceleration of Option.

    (a) Corporate Transaction.

     (i) This option, to the extent outstanding at the time of a Corporate
Transaction but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate
so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such
Corporate Transaction become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the
time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option
Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. Immediately following the
Corporate Transaction, this option, to the extent not previously exercised,
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding or exercisable except to the extent
assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such
Corporate Transaction.

    (ii) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction,
then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such
Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

    (b) Change in Control/Hostile Take-Over.  In the event of a Change in
Control or Hostile Take-Over, this option, to the extent outstanding but not
otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option

Hostile Take-Over, become exercisable for all the Option Shares at the time
subject to the option and may be exercised for any or all of the Option Shares

to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all
or any part of its business or assets.

    7.  Adjustment in Option Shares.  Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

     (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the
Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

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

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

    (B) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to
the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair
Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

    (C) to the extent this option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through
a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other
person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
written instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect
the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, 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 Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be
withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to the
Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to
such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction. 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 delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise.

    (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person
or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to
exercise this option.

issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising
this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate
legends affixed thereto.

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

    10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

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

    (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the
Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the
Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The
Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

    11. Successors and Assigns.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and
Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees
of Optionee's estate.

Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

    14. Governing Law.  The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

    15. Additional Terms Applicable to an Incentive Option.  In the event this
option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following
terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

    (a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an
Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more
Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to
be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or
(B) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an
Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

    (b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such
installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the
aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or

4

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

dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or
any other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether
under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or
Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred
Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this
option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such
calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

    (c) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Corporate
Transaction, Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over, then this option shall
qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the extent
the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common
Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in the calendar year in
which the Corporate Transaction, Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over occurs
does not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective
date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this
option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the
Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation
or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar
year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should
the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in
the calendar year of such Corporate Transaction, Change in Control or Hostile
Take-Over, the option may nevertheless be exercised for the excess shares in
such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

    (d) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other
options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in
the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

    16. Leave of Absence.  The following provisions shall apply upon Optionee's
commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

    (a) The exercise schedule in effect under the Grant Notice shall be frozen
as of the first day of the authorized leave, and the option shall not become
exercisable for any additional installments of the Option Shares during the
period Optionee remains on such leave.

    (b) Should Optionee resume active Employee status within sixty (60) days
after the start date of the authorized leave, Optionee shall, for purposes of
the exercise schedule set forth in the Grant Notice, receive Service credit for
the entire period of such leave. If Optionee does not resume active Employee
status within such sixty (60)-day period, then no Service credit shall be given
for the period of the leave.

    (c) If the option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Grant
Notice, then the following additional provision shall apply:

If the leave of absence continues for more than ninety (90) days, then the
option shall automatically convert to a Non-Statutory Option under the federal
tax laws on the day three (3) months and one (1) day following the ninety-first
(91st) day of such leave, unless Optionee's reemployment rights are guaranteed
by statute or by written agreement. Following any such conversion of the option,
all subsequent exercises of such option, whether effected before or after
Optionee's return to active Employee status, shall result in an immediate
taxable event, and the Corporation shall be required to collect from Optionee
the federal, state and local income and employment withholding taxes applicable
to such exercise.

    (d) In no event shall this option become exercisable for any additional
Option Shares or otherwise remain outstanding if Optionee does not resume
Employee status prior to the Expiration Date of the option term.
