national or regional securities exchange or market system, the Fair Market Value
of a share of Stock shall be as determined by the Board in good faith without
regard to any restriction other than a restriction which, by its terms, will
never lapse.

                  (j) "INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION" means an Option intended to be

                  (q) "SERVICE" means an Optionee's employment or service with
the Participating Company Group, whether in the capacity of an Employee, a

terminated merely because of a change in the capacity in which the Optionee
renders Service to the Participating Company Group or a change in the
Participating Company for which the Optionee renders such Service, provided that
there is no interruption or termination of the Optionee's Service. Furthermore,
an Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group shall not be deemed
to have terminated if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or
other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company; provided, however,
that if any such leave exceeds ninety (90) days, on the ninety-first (91st) day
of such leave the Optionee's Service shall be deemed to have terminated unless
the Optionee's right to return to Service with the Participating Company Group
is guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless
otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall
not be treated as Service for purposes of determining vesting under the
Optionee's Option Agreement. The Optionee's Service shall be deemed to have
terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or upon the corporation
for which the Optionee performs Service ceasing to be a Participating Company.
Subject to the foregoing, the Company, in its discretion, shall determine

termination.

provision of this Option Agreement. Except when otherwise indicated by the
context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the
singular. Use of the term "or" is not intended to be exclusive, unless the
context clearly requires otherwise.

     2. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

                  (a) TAX STATUS OF OPTION. This Option is intended to be a
Nonstatutory Stock Option and shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option
within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code.

         2.2 ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B) OF THE CODE. If the Optionee exercises
this Option to purchase shares of Stock that are both nontransferable and
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the Optionee understands that the
Optionee should consult with the Optionee's tax advisor regarding the
advisability of filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code, which must be filed no later than thirty (30) days
after the date on which the Optionee exercises the Option. Shares acquired upon
exercise of the Option are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture if, for example, (a) they are unvested and are subject to a right of
the Company to repurchase such shares at the Optionee's original purchase price
if the Optionee's Service terminates, (b) the Optionee is an Insider and, under
certain circumstances, exercises the Option within six (6) months of the Date of
Option Grant (if a class of equity security of the Company is registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act), or (c) the Optionee is subject to a restriction
on transfer to comply with "Pooling-of-Interests Accounting" rules. Failure to
file an election under Section 83(b), if appropriate, may result in adverse tax
consequences to the Optionee. The Optionee acknowledges that the Optionee has
been advised to consult with a tax advisor prior to the exercise of the Option
regarding the tax consequences to the Optionee of the exercise of the Option. AN
ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) MUST BE FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON
WHICH THE OPTIONEE PURCHASES SHARES. THIS TIME PERIOD CANNOT BE EXTENDED. THE
OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION IS THE
OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THE OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVE TO FILE SUCH ELECTION ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.


                                       4

     3. ADMINISTRATION.

         All questions of interpretation concerning this Option Agreement shall
be determined by the Board. All determinations by the Board shall be final and
binding upon all persons having an interest in the Option. Any officer of a
Participating Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company
with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the
responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the
officer has apparent authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation,
or election.

     4. EXERCISE OF THE OPTION.

         4.1 RIGHT TO EXERCISE. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option
shall be exercisable on and after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the
termination of the Option (as provided in Section 6) in an amount not to exceed
the Number of Option Shares less the number of shares previously acquired upon
exercise of the Option, subject to the Company's repurchase rights set forth in
Section 11 and Section 12.

         4.2 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Exercise of the Option shall be by written
notice to the Company which must state the election to exercise the Option, the
number of whole shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised and such
other representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with
respect to such shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this
Option Agreement. The written notice must be signed by the Optionee and must be
delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the Company may
permit, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other authorized
representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the termination of
the Option as set forth in Section 6, accompanied by (i) full payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased and
(ii) an executed copy, if required herein, of the then current form of escrow
agreement referenced below. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon
receipt by the Company of such written notice, the aggregate Exercise Price,
and, if required by the Company, such executed agreement.

         4.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

                  (a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as otherwise
provided below, payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares
of Stock for which the Option is being exercised shall be made (i) in cash, by
check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the
ownership, of whole shares of Stock owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market
Value (as determined by the Company without regard to any restrictions on
transferability applicable to such stock by reason of federal or state
securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the Company) not less than
the aggregate Exercise Price, (iii) by means of a Cashless Exercise, as defined
in Section 4.3(b), or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing.


                                       5

                  (b) LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION.

                           (i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the
ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would
constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement
restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. The Option may not be
exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares
of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than
six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

                           (ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. A "CASHLESS EXERCISE" means
the delivery of a properly executed notice together with irrevocable
instructions to a broker in a form acceptable to the Company providing for the
assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some
or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option pursuant
to a program or procedure approved by the Company (including, without
limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as
promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's
sole and absolute discretion, to decline to approve or terminate any such
program or procedure.

         4.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or
in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Optionee
hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the
Optionee, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including by
means of a Cashless Exercise to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums
required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group, if any, which arise in
connection with the Option, including, without limitation, obligations arising
upon (i) the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in
whole or in part, of any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the
operation of any law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or
(iv) the lapsing of any restriction with respect to any shares acquired upon
exercise of the Option. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares
of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to
this Option Agreement until the tax withholding obligations of the Participating
Company Group have been satisfied by the Optionee.

         4.5 CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION. Except in the event the Exercise Price is
paid by means of a Cashless Exercise, the certificate for the shares as to which
the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if
applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Optionee.

         4.6 RESTRICTIONS ON GRANT OF THE OPTION AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES. The
grant of the Option and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the
Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of
federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities. The Option may
not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would
constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or
market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, the Option
may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities
Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be
issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the


                                       6
<PAGE>

registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS CAUTIONED THAT
THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED.
ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED
EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. The inability of the Company to obtain from
any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in
respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the
Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that
may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law
or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company.

         4.7 FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.

     5. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION.

         The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by
the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative and may not be
assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent
provided in Section 7, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative
or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under
the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

     6. TERMINATION OF THE OPTION.

         The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first
to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date, (b) the last date for exercising the
Option following termination of the Optionee's Service as described in Section
7, or (c) a Change in Control to the extent provided in Section 8.

     7. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

         7.1 OPTION EXERCISABILITY.

                  (a) DISABILITY. If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group terminates because of the Disability of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on
which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or
the Optionee's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the
expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.


                                       7
<PAGE>

                  (b) DEATH. If the Optionee's Service with the Participating
Company Group terminates because of the death of the Optionee, the Option, to
the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee's
Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or
other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the
Optionee's death at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the
date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later than
the Option Expiration Date. The Optionee's Service shall be deemed to have
terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months
after the Optionee's termination of Service.

                  (c) TERMINATION AFTER CHANGE IN CONTROL. If the Optionee's
Service with the Participating Company Group ceases as a result of Termination
After Change in Control (as defined below), (i) the Option, to the extent
unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee's guardian or
legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months
after the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no
later than the Option Expiration Date, and (ii) the Option shall become
immediately vested and exercisable in full and the Vested Ratio shall be deemed
to be 1/1 as of the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that the provisions or
operation of this Section 7.1(c) would preclude treatment of a Change in Control
as a "pooling-of-interests" for accounting purposes and provided further that in
the absence of the preceding sentence such Change in Control would be treated as
a "pooling-of-interests" for accounting purposes, then this Section 7.1(c) shall
be void AB INITIO, and the vesting and exercisability of the Option shall be
determined under any other applicable provision of the Option Agreement.

                  (d) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Optionee's Service
with the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except
Disability, death or Termination After Change in Control, the Option, to the
extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee at any time
prior to the expiration of three (3) months (or such other longer period of time
as determined by the Board, in its discretion) after the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.

         7.2 ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON OPTION EXERCISE. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7.1, the Option may not be exercised after the Optionee's
termination of Service to the extent that the shares to be acquired upon
exercise of the Option would be subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option
as provided in Section 11.

         7.3 EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 7.1 is prevented by the provisions of Section 4.6, the Option
shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is
notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no
later than the Option Expiration Date.

         7.4 EXTENSION IF OPTIONEE SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(B). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1
of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Optionee to
suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain
exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following
the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no longer be
subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the
Optionee's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date.

the following events occurring within twelve (12) months after a Change in
Control:

                           (i) termination by the Participating Company Group of
the Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group for any reason other

following the event constituting Good Reason.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Termination After Change
in Control shall not include any termination of the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group which (1) is for Cause (as defined below); (2) is a
result of the Optionee's death or disability; (3) is a result of the Optionee's
voluntary termination of Service other than for Good Reason; or (4) occurs prior

                  (b) "CAUSE" shall mean any of the following: (i) the
Optionee's theft, dishonesty, or falsification of any Participating Company
documents or records; (ii) the Optionee's improper use or disclosure of a
Participating Company's confidential or proprietary information; (iii) any
material breach by the Optionee of any employment agreement between the Optionee
and a Participating Company, which breach is not cured pursuant to the terms of
such agreement; or (iv) the Optionee's conviction (including any plea of guilty
or nolo contendere) of any criminal act which impairs the Optionee's ability to
perform his or her duties with a Participating Company.

                  (c) "GOOD REASON" shall mean any one or more of the following:

than such travel requirements existing immediately prior to the date of the
Change in Control;


                                       9
<PAGE>

                           (iii) any failure by the Participating Company Group
to pay, or any material reduction by the Participating Company Group of, (1) the
Optionee's base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in
Control (unless reductions comparable in amount and duration are concurrently
made for all other employees of the Participating Company Group with
responsibilities, organizational level and title comparable to the Optionee's),
or (2) the Optionee's bonus compensation, if any, in effect immediately prior to
the date of the Change in Control (subject to applicable performance

employment or service provider position or a comparable position with the
Participating Company Group then held by the Optionee, in any benefit or
compensation plans and programs, including, but not limited to, the
Participating Company Group's life, disability, health, dental, medical,
savings, profit sharing, stock purchase and retirement plans, if any, in which
the Optionee was participating immediately prior to the date of the Change in
Control, or their equivalent, or (2) provide the Optionee with all other fringe
benefits (or their equivalent) from time to time in effect for the benefit of
any employee or service provider group which customarily includes a person
holding the employment or service provider position or a comparable position
with the Participating Company Group then held by the Optionee.

     8. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

         8.1 DEFINITIONS.

                  (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have
occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the
direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related
transactions by the shareholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

                  (b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change Event
or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a "TRANSACTION")
wherein the shareholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do
not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest


                                       10
<PAGE>

resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

         8.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON OPTION. In the event of a Change in
Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or
parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"),
may either assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Option or
substitute for the Option a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiring
Corporation's stock. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume
the Company's rights and obligations under the Option or substitute for the
Option in connection with the Change in Control, and provided that the
Optionee's Service has not terminated prior to such date, the Vested Ratio shall
be deemed to be 1/1 and all shares acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be
Vested Shares for purposes of Section 11 as of the date ten (10) days prior to
the date of the Change in Control. Any vesting of the Option that was
permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2 shall be conditioned upon the
consummation of the Change in Control. The Option shall terminate and cease to
be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control to the extent
that the Option is neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring
Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the
date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired
upon exercise of the Option prior to the Change in Control and any consideration
received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall
continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of this Option Agreement
except as otherwise provided herein. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the Option immediately prior
to an Ownership Change Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a
Change in Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately
after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total
combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by
other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of
Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b)
of the Code, the Option shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides
in its discretion.

     9. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.

         In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split,
recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or similar change in the
capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
number, Exercise Price and class of shares of stock subject to the Option. If a
majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are
subject to the Option are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become
(whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another
corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the Option to
provide that the Option is exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such
amendment, the Number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
in a fair and equitable manner, as determined by the Board, in its discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 9 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number,
and in no event may the Exercise Price be decreased to an amount less than the
par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The adjustments
determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 9 shall be final, binding and
conclusive.


                                       11
<PAGE>

     10. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT.

         The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any
shares covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate for
the shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions
or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate
is issued, except as provided in Section 9. If the Optionee is an Employee, the
Optionee understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in a
separate, written employment agreement between a Participating Company and the
Optionee, the Optionee's employment is "at will" and is for no specified term.
Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to
continue in the Service of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with
any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Optionee's Service
as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may be, at any time.

     11. UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION.

         11.1 GRANT OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. In the event the
Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated for any
reason or no reason, with or without cause, or, if the Optionee, the Optionee's
legal representative, or other holder of shares acquired upon exercise of the
Option attempts to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of
(other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) any Unvested Shares, as
defined in Section 11.2 below (the "UNVESTED SHARES"), the Company shall have
the right to repurchase the Unvested Shares under the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 11 (the "UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE
OPTION").

         11.2 UNVESTED SHARES DEFINED. The "UNVESTED SHARES" shall mean, on any
given date, the number of shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option
which exceed the Vested Shares determined as of such date.

         11.3 EXERCISE OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. The Company may
exercise the Unvested Share Repurchase Option by written notice to the Optionee
within sixty (60) days after (a) termination of the Optionee's Service (or
exercise of the Option, if later) or (b) the Company has received notice of the
attempted disposition of Unvested Shares. If the Company fails to give notice
within such sixty (60) day period, the Unvested Share Repurchase Option shall
terminate unless the Company and the Optionee have extended the time for the
exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option. The Unvested Share Repurchase
Option must be exercised, if at all, for all of the Unvested Shares, except as
the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree.


                                       12
<PAGE>

         11.4 PAYMENT FOR SHARES AND RETURN OF SHARES TO COMPANY. The purchase
price per share being repurchased by the Company shall be an amount equal to the
Optionee's original cost per share, as adjusted pursuant to Section 9 (the
"REPURCHASE PRICE"). The Company shall pay the aggregate Repurchase Price to the
Optionee in cash within thirty (30) days after the date of the written notice to
the Optionee of the Company's exercise of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option.
For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any purchase money indebtedness
of the Optionee to any Participating Company for the shares shall be treated as
payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any
accrued interest canceled. The shares being repurchased shall be delivered to
the Company by the Optionee at the same time as the delivery of the Repurchase
Price to the Optionee.

         11.5 ASSIGNMENT OF UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION. The Company shall
have the right to assign the Unvested Share Repurchase Option at any time,
whether or not such option is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be
selected by the Company.

         11.6 OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of an Ownership Change
Event, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property
to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of
Unvested Shares shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase
Option and included in the terms "Stock" and "Unvested Shares" for all purposes
of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option with the same force and effect as the
Unvested Shares immediately prior to the Ownership Change Event. While the
aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same after such Ownership Change
Event, the Repurchase Price per Unvested Share upon exercise of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option following such Ownership Change Event shall be adjusted
as appropriate. For purposes of determining the Vested Shares following an
Ownership Change Event, credited Service shall include all Service with any
corporation which is a Participating Company at the time the Service is
rendered, whether or not such corporation is a Participating Company both before
and after the Ownership Change Event.

     12. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

         12.1 GRANT OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except as provided in Section
12.7 below, in the event the Optionee, the Optionee's legal representative, or
other holder of shares acquired upon exercise of the Option proposes to sell,
exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any Vested Shares (the
"TRANSFER SHARES") to any person or entity, including, without limitation, any
shareholder of a Participating Company, the Company shall have the right to
repurchase the Transfer Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Section 12 (the "RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL").

         12.2 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER. Prior to any proposed transfer of the
Transfer Shares, the Optionee shall deliver written notice (the "TRANSFER
NOTICE") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the
number of Transfer Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the
"PROPOSED TRANSFEREE") and, if the transfer is voluntary, the proposed transfer
price, and containing such information necessary to show the bona fide nature of
the proposed transfer. In the event of a bona fide gift or involuntary transfer,
the proposed transfer price shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the
Transfer Shares, as determined by the Board in good faith. If the Optionee
proposes to transfer any Transfer Shares to more than one Proposed Transferee,
the Optionee shall provide a separate Transfer Notice for the proposed transfer
to each Proposed Transferee. The Transfer Notice shall be signed by both the
Optionee and the Proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of
the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee for the transfer of the Transfer Shares
to the Proposed Transferee subject only to the Right of First Refusal.


                                       13
<PAGE>

         12.3 BONA FIDE TRANSFER. If the Company determines that the information
provided by the Optionee in the Transfer Notice is insufficient to establish the
bona fide nature of a proposed voluntary transfer, the Company shall give the
Optionee written notice of the Optionee's failure to comply with the procedure
described in this Section 12, and the Optionee shall have no right to transfer
the Transfer Shares without first complying with the procedure described in this
Section 12. The Optionee shall not be permitted to transfer the Transfer Shares
if the proposed transfer is not bona fide.

         12.4 EXERCISE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If the Company determines the
proposed transfer to be bona fide, the Company shall have the right to purchase
all, but not less than all, of the Transfer Shares (except as the Company and
the Optionee otherwise agree) at the purchase price and on the terms set forth
in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of
the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer
Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company's exercise or failure to
exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer
described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company's right to exercise
the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in
any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued
by the Optionee or issued by a person other than the Optionee with respect to a
proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the
Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate
the sale of the Transfer Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the
Transfer Notice within sixty (60) days after the date the Transfer Notice is
delivered to the Company (unless a longer period is offered by the Proposed
Transferee); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provides
for the payment for the Transfer Shares other than in cash, the Company shall
have the option of paying for the Transfer Shares by the present value cash
equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably
determined by the Company. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any
indebtedness of the Optionee to any Participating Company shall be treated as
payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any
accrued interest canceled.

         12.5 FAILURE TO EXERCISE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If the Company fails
to exercise the Right of First Refusal in full (or to such lesser extent as the
Company and the Optionee otherwise agree) within the period specified in Section
12.4 above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of
the Transfer Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer
Notice, provided such transfer occurs not later than ninety (90) days following
delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. The Company shall have the right
to demand further assurances from the Optionee and the Proposed Transferee (in a
form satisfactory to the Company) that the transfer of the Transfer Shares was
actually carried out on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer
Notice. No Transfer Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company
until the Company has received such assurances, if so demanded, and has approved
the proposed transfer as bona fide. Any proposed transfer on terms and
conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any
subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the
Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the
procedure described in this Section 12.


                                       14
<PAGE>

         12.6 TRANSFEREES OF TRANSFER SHARES. All transferees of the Transfer
Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a
condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the
Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Transfer Shares or
interest therein subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Option
Agreement, including this Section 12 providing for the Right of First Refusal
with respect to any subsequent transfer. Any sale or transfer of any shares
acquired upon exercise of the Option shall be void unless the provisions of this
Section 12 are met.

         12.7 TRANSFERS NOT SUBJECT TO RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Right of
First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the shares acquired
upon exercise of the Option if such transfer or exchange is in connection with
an Ownership Change Event. If the consideration received pursuant to such
transfer or exchange consists of stock of a Participating Company, such
consideration shall remain subject to the Right of First Refusal unless the
provisions of Section 12.9 below result in a termination of the Right of First
Refusal.

         12.8 ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Company shall have the
right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time, whether or not there has
been an attempted transfer, to one or more persons as may be selected by the
Company.

         12.9 EARLY TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The other provisions
of this Option Agreement notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a) the occurrence of a
Change in Control, unless the Acquiring Corporation assumes the Company's rights
and obligations under the Option or substitutes a substantially equivalent
option for the Acquiring Corporation's stock for the Option, or (b) the
existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of
First Refusal. A "PUBLIC MARKET" shall be deemed to exist if (i) such stock is
listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange
Act) or (ii) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices
therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.

     13. ESCROW.

         13.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW. To ensure that shares subject to the
Unvested Share Repurchase Option will be available for repurchase, the Company
may require the Optionee to deposit the certificate evidencing the shares which
the Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option with an agent designated by
the Company under the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement approved by
the Company. If the Company does not require such deposit as a condition of
exercise of the Option, the Company reserves the right at any time to require
the Optionee to so deposit the certificate in escrow. Upon the occurrence of an
Ownership Change Event or a change, as described in Section 9, in the character
or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which
is subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, any and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other property to which the Optionee is
entitled by reason of the Optionee's ownership of shares of Stock acquired upon
exercise of the Option that remain, following such Ownership Change Event or
change described in Section 9, subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option
shall be immediately subject to the escrow to the same extent as such shares of
Stock immediately before such event. The Company shall bear the expenses of the
escrow.


                                       15
<PAGE>

         13.2 DELIVERY OF SHARES TO OPTIONEE. As soon as practicable after the
expiration of the Unvested Share Repurchase Option, but not more frequently than
twice each calendar year, the escrow agent shall deliver to the Optionee the
shares and any other property no longer subject to such restriction.

         13.3 NOTICES AND PAYMENTS. In the event the shares and any other
property held in escrow are subject to the Company's exercise of the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option or the Right of First Refusal, the notices required to
be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent, and any payment
required to be given to the Optionee shall be given to the escrow agent. Within
thirty (30) days after payment by the Company, the escrow agent shall deliver
the shares and any other property which the Company has purchased to the Company
and shall deliver the payment received from the Company to the Optionee.

     14. STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS SUBJECT TO OPTION AGREEMENT.

         If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split or
other change, as described in Section 9, in the character or amount of any of
the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is subject to the
provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and all new,
substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason
of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of the Option
shall be immediately subject to the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the
Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to
the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the Right of First Refusal immediately
before such event.

     15. LEGENDS.

         The Company may at any time place legends referencing the Unvested
Share Repurchase Option, the Right of First Refusal, and any applicable federal,
state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing
shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement. The Optionee
shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and
all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to the Option in the
possession of the Optionee in order to carry out the provisions of this Section.
Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates
may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

         15.1 "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD,
TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH
SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION AND
PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT."


                                       16
<PAGE>

         15.2 "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN
UNVESTED SHARE REPURCHASE OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET
FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH
HOLDER'S PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL
OFFICE OF THIS CORPORATION."

         15.3 "THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT
OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATION OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN
AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER, OR SUCH HOLDER'S
PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF
THIS CORPORATION."

     16. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.

         The Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public
offering of stock, including an initial public offering of stock, made by the
Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge,
hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or
otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire
stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date
of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such
public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration
statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing
limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the
Securities Act.

     17. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES.

         No shares acquired upon exercise of the Option may be sold, exchanged,
transferred (including, without limitation, any transfer to a nominee or agent
of the Optionee), assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of,
including by operation of law, in any manner which violates any of the
provisions of this Option Agreement and, except pursuant to an Ownership Change

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         1. OPTION. I was granted an option (the "OPTION") to purchase shares of

         4. TAX WITHHOLDING. I authorize payroll withholding and otherwise will
make adequate provision for the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company, if any, in connection with the Option.
If I am exercising a Nonstatutory Stock Option, I enclose payment in full of my
withholding taxes, if any, as follows:

            (CONTACT CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR AMOUNT OF TAX DUE.)

                  (TM) Cash:                                 $__________________

                  (TM) Check:                                $__________________

         5.       OPTIONEE INFORMATION.

                  My address is: _______________________________________________

                                 _______________________________________________

                  My Social Security Number is: ________________________________

         6. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION. If the Option is an Incentive
Stock Option, I agree that I will promptly notify the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company if I transfer any of the Shares within one (1) year from the date I
exercise all or part of the Option or within two (2) years of the Date of Option
Grant.

         7. BINDING EFFECT. I agree that the Shares are being acquired in
accordance with and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Option Agreement, including the Unvested Share Repurchase Option and the Right
of First Refusal set forth therein, to all of which I hereby expressly assent.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the my heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns. I agree to deposit the
certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, along with a blank stock assignment
separate from certificate executed by me, with an escrow agent designated by the
Company, to be held pursuant to the Company's standard Joint Escrow
Instructions, an executed copy of which I have delivered herewith.

         8. TRANSFER. I understand and acknowledge that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"),
and that consequently the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act, an exemption from such
registration is available, or they are sold in accordance with Rule 144 or Rule
701 under the Securities Act. I further understand and acknowledge that the
Company is under no obligation to register the Shares. I understand that the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with legends
which prohibit the transfer of the Shares unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the
Company.

         I am aware that Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which permits
limited public resale of securities acquired in a nonpublic offering, is not
currently available with respect to the Shares and, in any event, is available
only if certain conditions are satisfied. I understand that any sale of the
Shares that might be made in reliance upon Rule 144 may only be made in limited
amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of such rule and that a copy
of Rule 144 will be delivered to me upon request.


                                       2

         9. ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE. I understand and
acknowledge that if I am exercising the Option to purchase Unvested Shares
(i.e., shares that remain subject to the Company's Unvested Share Repurchase
Option), that I should consult with my tax advisor regarding the advisability of
filing with the Internal Revenue Service an election under Section 83(b) of the
Code, which must be filed no later than thirty (30) days after the date on which
I exercise the Option. I acknowledge that I have been advised to consult with a
tax advisor prior to the exercise of the Option regarding the tax consequences
to me of exercising the Option. AN ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) MUST BE FILED
WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH I PURCHASE SHARES. THIS TIME PERIOD
CANNOT BE EXTENDED. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT TIMELY FILING OF A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION
IS MY SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF I REQUEST THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES
TO FILE SUCH ELECTION ON MY BEHALF.

         I understand that I am purchasing the Shares pursuant to the terms of
the Notice and my Option Agreement, copies of which I have received and
carefully read and understand.

                                               Very truly yours,


                                               _________________________________
                                               (Signature)



Receipt of the above is hereby acknowledged.
