Affiliates.

         (c) The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the Plan
shall, in the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which
responsibility for administration of the Plan has been delegated pursuant to
subsection 3(c), be either (i) Options granted pursuant to Section 6 hereof,
including Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, or (ii)

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.

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.

                  At such time as the Common Stock is publicly traded, in the

Award or (2) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply
with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or) (ii) delegate to a committee of one
or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority
to grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section
16 of the Exchange Act.

4.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

         (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 relating to adjustments
upon changes in stock, the stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards
shall not exceed in the aggregate two million two hundred fifty thousand
(2,250,000) shares of the Common Stock, subject to the following sentence. An
aggregate one million seven hundred fifty thousand (1,750,000) shares shall
initially be authorized for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards; provided,
however, such total shall increase automatically, as and to the extent that
options to purchase Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date under
the Company's 1996 Equity Incentive Plan terminate or expire prior to
exercise, by the number of shares underlying such terminated or expired
options, subject to a maximum increase of 500,000 shares (bringing the
maximum total to an aggregate 2,250,000 shares). If any Stock Award shall for
any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having
been exercised in full (or vested in the case of Restricted Stock), the stock
not acquired under such Stock Award shall revert to and again become
available for issuance under the Plan. Shares subject to Stock Appreciation
Rights exercised in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan shall not be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

         (b) The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or
reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

5.       ELIGIBILITY.

         (a) Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
appurtenant thereto may be granted only to Employees. Stock Awards other than
Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights appurtenant thereto may
be granted only to Employees, Directors or Consultants.

         (b) No person shall be eligible for the grant of an Option or an
award to purchase restricted stock if, at the time of grant, such person owns
(or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing
more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company or of any of its Affiliates unless the exercise price
of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value of such stock at the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable
after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant, or in the case
of a restricted stock purchase award, the purchase price is at least one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such stock at the date of
grant.

         (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 relating to adjustments
upon changes in stock, no person shall be eligible to be granted Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights covering more than three hundred thousand (300,000)
shares of the Common Stock in any calendar year. This subsection 5(c) shall
not apply until (i) the earliest of: (A) the first material modification of
the Plan (including any increase to the number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan in accordance with Section 4); (B) the issuance of
all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (C)
the expiration of the Plan; or (D) the first meeting of stockholders at which
directors are to be elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar
year following the calendar year in which occurred the first registration of
an equity security under Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (ii) such other
date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.

6.       OPTION PROVISIONS.

         Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. 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. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date it was granted.

         (b) PRICE. The exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall
be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the
stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted and the
exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to
the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
an 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.

                                   6
<PAGE>

         (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of 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 or the Committee, at the time of the grant of
the Option, (A) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock of the
Company, (B) according to a deferred payment arrangement, except that payment
of the common stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General
Corporation Law) shall not be made by deferred payment, or other arrangement
(which may include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use
of other Common Stock of the Company) with the person to whom the Option is
granted or to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d), or
(C) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board.

         In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be
payable 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.

         (d) TRANSFERABILITY. Prior to the Listing Date an 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 person to whom the Option
is granted only by such person. After the Listing Date, a Nonstatutory Stock
Option may be transferred to the extent provided in the Option Agreement;
provided that if the Option Agreement does not expressly permit the transfer
of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be
transferable except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a domestic relations order satisfying the requirements of Rule
16b-3 and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the
Option is granted only by such person or any transferee pursuant to a
domestic relations order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the person to whom
the Option is granted 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 Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the
Option.

         (e) VESTING. The total number of shares of stock subject to an
Option may, but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may,
but need not, be equal). The Option Agreement may provide that from time to
time during each of such installment periods, the Option may become
exercisable ("vest") with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to
that period, and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the shares
allotted to such period and/or any prior period as to which the Option became
vested but was not fully exercised, provided however that prior to the
Listing Date an Option granted to a non-officer Employee shall vest at least
twenty percent (20%) of the shares per year. 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 provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option
provisions governing the minimum number of shares as to which an Option may
be exercised.

         (f) TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In the event an Optionee's
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or
disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that
the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination, unless
otherwise provided in the Option Agreement) but only within such period of

                                  7
<PAGE>

time ending on the earlier of (i) the date thirty (30) days after the
termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service (or after the Listing Date
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 Optionee does not exercise his or her Option
within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan.

         An Optionee's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise
of the Option following the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service
(other than upon the Optionee's death or disability) would result in
liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then the Option shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set
forth in the Option Agreement, or (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last
date on which such exercise would result in such liability under Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act. Finally, an Optionee's Option Agreement may also
provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionee's death or
disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of
shares would violate the registration requirements under the Act, then the
Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of
the Option set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 6(f), or (ii)
the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer or shorter
period provided in the Option Agreement) after the termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would
not be in violation of such registration requirements.

         (g) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Optionee's Continuous
Service terminates as a result of the Optionee's disability, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of termination), but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (i) the date six (6) months following such
termination (or after the Listing Date 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, at the date of termination,
the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares
covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

         (h) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee
during, or within a period specified in the Option after the termination of,
the Optionee's Continuous Service, the Option may be exercised (to the extent
the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death) by the
Optionee'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 Optionee's death pursuant to subsection 6(d), but only within the
period ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following the
date of death (or after the Listing Date such longer or shorter period
specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, at the time of death,
the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the
shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and
again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after death, the
Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan.

                                      8

<PAGE>

         (i) EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a
provision whereby the Optionee may elect at any time while an Employee,
Director or Consultant to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the
shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any
unvested shares so purchased may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of
the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be
appropriate.

         (j) RIGHT OF REPURCHASE. 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 acquired by the Optionee
pursuant to the exercise of the Option. The terms of such repurchase option
shall comply with the requirements of Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations.

         (k) 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
Optionee of the intent to transfer all or any part of the shares exercised
pursuant to the Option. Except as expressly provided in this subsection 6(k),
such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable
provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.

         (l) RE-LOAD OPTIONS. Without in any way limiting the authority of
the Board or Committee to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder,
the Board or Committee shall have the authority (but not an obligation) to
include as part of any Option Agreement a provision entitling the Optionee to
a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionee 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. Any such Re-Load Option (i)
shall be for a number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered as
part or all of the exercise price of such Option; (ii) shall 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 (iii) shall 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 which is granted to a 10% stockholder (as described in subsection
5(c)), shall have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Re-Load Option on
the date of exercise of the original Option and shall have a term which is no
longer than five (5) years.

         Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board or Committee 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 dollars ($100,000) annual limitation on
exercisability of Incentive Stock Options described in subsection 12(d) of
the Plan 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 under subsection 4(a) and shall be subject
to such other terms and conditions as the Board or Committee may determine
which are not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan regarding
the terms of Options.

7.       TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES AND PURCHASES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

         Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in
such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the
terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each
stock bonus or 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 as appropriate:

         (a) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price under each restricted stock
purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or Committee shall
determine and designate in such agreement but in no event shall the purchase
price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market Value
on the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or
the Committee may determine that eligible participants in the Plan may be
awarded stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit.

         (b) TRANSFERABILITY. No rights under a stock bonus or restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be transferable except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution or, after the Listing Date and if the agreement so
provides, pursuant to a domestic relations order satisfying the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 so long as stock awarded under such agreement remains subject
to the terms of the agreement.

         (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to
a restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at
the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee,
according to a deferred payment arrangement, except that payment of the
common stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General Corporation
Law) shall not be made by deferred payment, or other arrangement with the
person to whom the stock is sold; or (iii) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board or the Committee in its
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the Committee to
which administration of the Plan has been delegated may award stock pursuant
to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past services actually
rendered to the Company or for its benefit.

         (d) VESTING. Shares of stock sold or awarded under the Plan may, but
need not, be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company in
accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the
Committee, provided however that prior to the Listing Date, stock sold or
awarded to a non-officer Employee shall vest at least twenty percent (20%) of
the shares per year. Prior to the Listing Date the terms of such repurchase
option shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 260.140.42 of
Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations.

         (e) TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise
reacquire any or all of the shares of stock held by that person which have
not vested as of the date of termination under the terms

                                10
<PAGE>

of the stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement between the Company
and such person.

8.       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a) The Board or Committee shall have full power and authority,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant Stock Appreciation Rights under
the Plan to Employees or Directors of or Consultants to, the Company or its
Affiliates. To exercise any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, the holder
must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the
provisions of the Stock Award Agreement evidencing such right. Except as
provided in subsection 5(c), no limitation shall exist on the aggregate
amount of cash payments the Company may make under the Plan in connection
with the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.

         (b) Three types of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be authorized for
issuance under the Plan:

                  (i) TANDEM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights will be granted appurtenant to an Option, and shall,
except as specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same
terms and conditions applicable to the particular Option grant to which it
pertains. Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights will require the holder to elect
between the exercise of the underlying Option for shares of stock and the
surrender, in whole or in part, of such Option for an appreciation
distribution. The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised Tandem
Right shall be in cash (or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares
of stock based on Fair Market Value on the date of the Option surrender) in
an amount up to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value (on the date of the
Option surrender) of the number of shares of stock covered by that portion of
the surrendered Option in which the Optionee is vested over (B) the aggregate
exercise price payable for such vested shares.

                  (ii) CONCURRENT STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Concurrent
Rights will be granted appurtenant to an Option and may apply to all or any
portion of the shares of stock subject to the underlying Option and shall,
except as specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same
terms and conditions applicable to the particular Option grant to which it
pertains. A Concurrent Right shall be exercised automatically at the same
time the underlying Option is exercised with respect to the particular shares
of stock to which the Concurrent Right pertains. The appreciation
distribution payable on an exercised Concurrent Right shall be in cash (or,
if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of stock based on Fair
Market Value on the date of the exercise of the Concurrent Right) in an
amount equal to such portion as shall be determined by the Board or the
Committee at the time of the grant of the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair
Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the Concurrent Right) of the
vested shares of stock purchased under the underlying Option which have
Concurrent Rights appurtenant to them over (B) the aggregate exercise price
paid for such shares.

                  (iii) INDEPENDENT STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Independent
Rights will be granted independently of any Option and shall, except as
specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same terms and
conditions applicable to Nonstatutory Stock Options as set forth in Section
6. They shall be denominated in share equivalents. The appreciation
distribution payable on the exercised Independent Right shall be not greater
than an amount equal to the

                                  11
<PAGE>

excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise of
the Independent Right) of a number of shares of Company stock equal to the
number of share equivalents in which the holder is vested under such
Independent Right, and with respect to which the holder is exercising the
Independent Right on such date, over (B) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on
the date of the grant of the Independent Right) of such number of shares of
Company stock. The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised
Independent Right shall be in cash or, if so provided, in an equivalent
number of shares of stock based on Fair Market Value on the date of the
exercise of the Independent Right.

9.       CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS.

         (a) The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to effect,
at any time and from time to time, (i) the repricing of any outstanding
Options and/or any Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan and/or (ii) with
the consent of any adversely affected holders of Options and/or Stock
Appreciation Rights, the cancellation of any outstanding Options and/or Stock
Appreciation Rights under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of
new Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan covering the same
or different numbers of shares of stock, but having an exercise price per
share not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value for a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value for an Incentive Stock Option or, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option (any Option if effected prior to the Listing Date) held by a 10%
stockholder (as described in subsection 5(c)), not less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of stock on the new grant
date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the Committee may grant an
Option and/or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price lower than
that set forth above if such Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right is
granted as part of a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies.

         (b) Shares subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right canceled
under this Section 9 shall continue to be counted against the maximum award
of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights permitted to be granted pursuant to
subsection 5(c) of the Plan. The repricing of an Option and/or Stock
Appreciation Right under this Section 9, resulting in a reduction of the
exercise price, shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the original Option
and/or Stock Appreciation Right and the grant of a substitute Option and/or
Stock Appreciation Right; in the event of such repricing, both the original
and the substituted Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted
against the maximum awards of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights permitted
to be granted pursuant to subsection 5(c) of the Plan. The provisions of this
subsection 9(b) shall be applicable only to the extent required by Section
162(m) of the Code.

10.      COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

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

         (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission
or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required
to issue and sell shares under Stock Awards; provided, however, that this
undertaking shall not require the Company to

                                     12
<PAGE>

register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
either the Plan, any Stock Award or any 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
stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for
failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards unless and
until such authority is obtained.

11.      USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

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

12.      MISCELLANEOUS.

         (a) 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 pursuant to subsection 6(e), 7(d) or 8(a),
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) Neither an Employee, Director nor a Consultant nor any person to
whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the Plan shall be deemed
to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect
to, any shares subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
terms.

         (c) Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award
granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Consultant or other
holder of Stock Awards any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
any Affiliate or to continue serving as a Consultant and Director, or shall
affect the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment
of any Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, or the
right to terminate the relationship of any Consultant pursuant to the terms
of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or Affiliate or service as a
Director pursuant to the Company's Bylaws and the laws of the state in which
the Company is incorporated.

         (d) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
at the time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee 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) The Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is
granted, or any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance
with the Plan, as a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any
Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to
such person'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

                                   13
<PAGE>

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 such person is acquiring the stock
subject to the Stock Award for such person's own account and not with any
present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The
foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (A) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award has been registered
under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities
Act, or (B) 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 stock.

         (f) To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement,
the person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal, state or
local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of
stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means or by a combination
of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to
withhold shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the
Stock Award; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares
of the Common Stock of the Company.

         (g) Throughout the term of any Stock Award, the Company shall
deliver to the holder of such Stock Award, not later than one hundred twenty
(120) days after the close of each of the Company's fiscal years during the
term of such Stock Award, a balance sheet and an income statement. This
subsection shall not apply (i) after the Listing Date, or (ii) when issuance
is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company
assure them access to equivalent information.

13.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

         (a) If any change is made in the 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 shares subject to the Plan pursuant to
subsection 4(a) and the maximum number of shares subject to award to any
person during any calendar year pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the
outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and
number of shares and price per share of stock subject to such outstanding
Stock Awards. Such adjustments shall be made by the Board or the Committee,
the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated
as a "transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company.")

                                  14
<PAGE>

         (b) CHANGE IN CONTROL--DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then outstanding Stock Awards
shall be terminated if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event.

         (c) CHANGE IN CONTROL--ASSET SALE, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR REVERSE
MERGER. In the event of (i) a 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 any
surviving corporation or acquiring 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 13(c) for those
outstanding under the Plan). In the event any surviving corporation or
acquiring corporation refuses to assume 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 vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time
during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in
full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable)
at or prior to such event. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding
under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if
applicable) prior to such event.

14.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

         (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
Plan. However, except as provided in Section 13 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the
stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary
for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule
16b-3 or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements.

         (b) The Board may in its sole discretion 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 certain executive officers.

         (c) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan
in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible
Employees, Directors or Consultants 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.

Rights and obligations 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 person to whom the Stock Award was
granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.

         (d) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
terms of any one or more Stock Award; provided, however, that the rights and
obligations under any Stock Award

                                16
<PAGE>

shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests
the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted and (ii) such
person consents in writing.

15.      TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

         (a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless
sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders 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) Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the
Plan is in effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the
Plan, except with the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was
granted.

16.      EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall become effective on the date adopted by the Board
(the "Effective Date"), but no Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall be
exercised 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.

                                 16
