Exchange Act Person (the "Subject Person") exceeds the designated percentage
threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or
other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing the number of
shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for

securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person
becomes the Owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the
repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of

agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall

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

                                      9.

<PAGE>

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 (1) 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 and (2) the treatment of the Option as a
variable award for financial accounting purposes.

         (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 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 Section 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)      TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In the event that 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 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.

         (i)      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 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

                                      10.

<PAGE>

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 Section 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.

         (j)      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 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.

         (k)      DEATH OF OPTIONHOLDER. In the event that (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 Section 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 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.

         (l)      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. 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. 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.

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

                                      11.

<PAGE>

                  (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. 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. In
the event that a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may
reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that
have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus
agreement. 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
change to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following
receipt of the stock bonus unless otherwise specifically provided in the stock
bonus agreement.

                  (iv)     TRANSFERABILITY. 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. The purchase price of restricted
stock awards 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. 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.

                  (iv)     TERMINATION OF PARTICIPANT'S CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In
the event that a Participant's Continuous Service terminates, the Company may
repurchase or otherwise

                                      12.

<PAGE>

reacquire any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that
have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted
stock purchase agreement. 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 the purchase of the restricted stock unless otherwise provided in the
restricted stock purchase agreement.

                  (v)      TRANSFERABILITY. 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.

8.       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.

9.       USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

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

10.      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)      STOCKHOLDER 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.

                                      13.

<PAGE>

         (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 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 that exceed such limit (according to the order in
which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options,
notwithstanding any contrary provision of a Stock Award Agreement.

         (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

                                      14.

<PAGE>

such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid variable award accounting);
or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common
Stock.

11.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

         (a)      CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS. If any change is made in, or other
event occurs with respect to, 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 (each a "Capitalization Adjustment"), the Plan will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan
pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b) and the maximum number of securities subject
to award to any person pursuant to Section 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)      DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate
immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and
shares of Common Stock subject to the Company's repurchase option may be
repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such
stock is still in Continuous Service.

         (c)      CORPORATE TRANSACTION. In the event of a Corporate
Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or
continue any or all Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute
similar stock awards for Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan (it being
understood that similar stock awards include, but are not limited to, awards to
acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders or the Company, as the
case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or
repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant
to Stock Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company
(or the successor's parent company), if any, in connection with such Corporate
Transaction. In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation does not assume or continue any or all such outstanding Stock Awards
or substitute similar stock awards for such outstanding Stock Awards, then with
respect to Stock Awards that have been not assumed, continued or substituted and
that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior
to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, the vesting of such Stock
Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Awards may be
exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate
Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of
such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall
not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the
effective time of the Corporate Transaction), the Stock Awards shall terminate
if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such effective time, and any
reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such
Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated
shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the

                                      15.

<PAGE>

Corporate Transaction) lapse. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding
under the Plan that have not been assumed, continued or substituted, the vesting
of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which such Stock Award may
be exercised) shall not be accelerated, unless otherwise provided in a written
agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the holder of such Stock
Award, and such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable)
prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.

         (d)      CHANGE IN CONTROL. A Stock Award held by any Participant whose
Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of a Change in
Control may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability
upon or after such event as may be provided in the Stock Award Agreement for
such Stock Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between
the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such
provision, no such acceleration shall occur.

12.      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 11(a) relating
to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless approved
by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is
necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.

         (b)      STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Board, in its sole discretion, may
submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder 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 Covered Employees.

         (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.

13.      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 stockholders of the Company,

                                      16.

<PAGE>

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.

14.      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 stockholders of the
Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the
date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

15.      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.

                                      17.

                                   iPASS INC.
                           2003 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
              (INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)

         Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice ("Grant Notice") and this
Stock Option Agreement, iPass Inc. (the "Company") has granted you an option
under its 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to purchase the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at the
exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly
defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the
same definitions as in the Plan.

         The details of your option are as follows:

         1.       VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your
option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will
cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.

         2.       NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of shares of
Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced
in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization
Adjustments.

         3.       EXERCISE PRIOR TO VESTING ("EARLY EXERCISE"). If permitted in
your Grant Notice (i.e., the "Exercise Schedule" indicates that "Early Exercise"
of your option is permitted) and subject to the provisions of your option, you
may elect at any time that is both (i) during the period of your Continuous
Service and (ii) during the term of your option, to exercise all or part of your
option, including the nonvested portion of your option; provided, however, that:

                  (a)      a partial exercise of your option shall be deemed to
cover first vested shares of Common Stock and then the earliest vesting
installment of unvested shares of Common Stock;

                  (b)      any shares of Common Stock so purchased from
installments that have not vested as of the date of exercise shall be subject to
the purchase option in favor of the Company as described in the Company's form
of Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement;

                  (c)      you shall enter into the Company's form of Early
Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement with a vesting schedule that will result in
the same vesting as if no early exercise had occurred; and

                  (d)      if your option is an Incentive Stock Option, then, to
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of
grant) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which your option plus all
other Incentive Stock Options you hold are exercisable for the first time by you
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates)
exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), your option(s) or portions
thereof

                                      18.

<PAGE>

that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall
be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

         4.       METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price is due in
full upon exercise of all or any part of your option. You may elect to make
payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner
permitted by your Grant Notice, which may include one or more of the following:

                  (a)      In the Company's sole discretion at the time your
option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock
is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to
a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt
of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to
pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

                  (b)      Provided that at the time of exercise the Common
Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by
delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock either that you have held for
the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's reported earnings
(generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly
from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise. "Delivery" for these purposes, in the sole discretion of
the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the
Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a
form approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not
exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such
tender would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement
restricting the redemption of the Company's stock.

         5.       WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your option only for whole
shares of Common Stock.

         6.       SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the
Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered,
the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option
also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your
option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such
exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

         7.       TERM. You may not exercise your option before the commencement
or after the expiration of its term. The term of your option commences on the
Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:

                  (a)      three (3) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service for any reason other than your Disability or death, provided
that if during any part of such three (3) month period your option is not
exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in Section 6,

                                      19.

<PAGE>

your option shall not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until
it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of three (3) months after
the termination of your Continuous Service;

                  (b)      twelve (12) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service due to your Disability;

                  (c)      eighteen (18) months after your death if you die
either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your
Continuous Service terminates;

                  (d)      the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice;
or

                  (e)      the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Date of Grant.

         If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, note that to obtain the
federal income tax advantages associated with an Incentive Stock Option, the
Code requires that at all times beginning on the date of grant of your option
and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of your option's
exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the
event of your death or your permanent and total disability, as defined in
Section 22(e) of the Code. (The definition of disability in Section 22(e) of the
Code is different from the definition of the Disability under the Plan). The
Company has provided for extended exercisability of your option under certain
circumstances for your benefit but cannot guarantee that your option will
necessarily be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if you continue to provide
services to the Company or an Affiliate as a Consultant or Director after your
employment terminates or if you otherwise exercise your option more than three
(3) months after the date your employment with the Company or an Affiliate
terminates.

         8.       EXERCISE.

                  (a)      You may exercise the vested portion of your option
(and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during
its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the
Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to
such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours,
together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

                  (b)      By exercising your option you agree that, as a
condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter
into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax
withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of
your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the
shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the
disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.

                  (c)      If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, by
exercising your option you agree that you will notify the Company in writing
within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares
of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option that occurs within two
(2) years after the date of your option grant or within one (1) year after such
shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option.

                                      20.

<PAGE>

         9.       TRANSFERABILITY. Your option is not transferable, except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your
life only by you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to
the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third
party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise
your option.

         10.      OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your option is not an
employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to
create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the
employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to
continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the
Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors,
Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a
Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

         11.      WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in
part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby
authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and
otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a
"cashless exercise" pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the
Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in
connection with the exercise of your option.

                  (b)      Upon your request and subject to approval by the
Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal
conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of
Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number
of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the
Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax
required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to
avoid variable award accounting). If the date of determination of any tax
withholding obligation is deferred to a date later than the date of exercise of
your option, share withholding pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be
permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of
the Code, covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon
such exercise with respect to which such determination is otherwise deferred, to
accelerate the determination of such tax withholding obligation to the date of
exercise of your option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election, shares of
Common Stock shall be withheld solely from fully vested shares of Common Stock
determined as of the date of exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable
to you upon such exercise. Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection
with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

                  (c)      You may not exercise your option unless the tax
withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied.
Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even
though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue
a certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common
Stock from any escrow provided for herein unless such obligations are satisfied.

                                      21.

<PAGE>

         12.      NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or,
in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days
after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at
the last address you provided to the Company.

         13.      GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your option is subject to all the
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your
option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and
regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to
the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and
those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

                                      22.
