determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of an Option and subject to

or reacquired Common Stock. If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable for
any reason without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to
an Option Exchange Program, the unpurchased Shares that were subject thereto
shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future
grant under the Plan. In addition, any Shares of Common Stock that are retained
by the Company upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right in order to
satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such Option or Stock Purchase Right
or any withholding taxes due with respect to such exercise shall be treated as
not issued and shall continue to be available under the Plan. Shares issued
under the Plan and later repurchased by the Company pursuant to any repurchase
right that the Company may have shall not be available for future grant under
the Plan.

     4. Administration of the Plan.

          (a) General. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
Committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. The Plan may be
administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different
classes of Optionees and, if permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Board may
authorize one or more officers to grant Options or Stock Purchase Rights under
the Plan.

          (b) Administration with Respect to Reporting Persons. With respect to
Options granted to Reporting Persons and Named Executives, the Plan may (but
need not) be administered so as to permit such Options to qualify for the
exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 and to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.
<PAGE>

          (c) Committee Composition. If a Committee has been appointed pursuant
to this Section 4, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated
capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may
increase the size of any Committee and appoint additional members thereof,
remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution
therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and remove all members of a Committee
and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by the
Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee administering the Plan pursuant
to Section 4(b) above, to the extent permitted or required by Rule 16b-3 and
Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (d) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to
such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities,
including the approval, if required, of any Stock Exchange, the Administrator
shall have the authority, in its discretion:

          (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in
     accordance with Section 2(o) of the Plan;

          (ii) to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Options and Stock
     Purchase Rights or any combination thereof may from time to time be
     granted;

          (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options and Stock
     Purchase Rights or any combination thereof are granted;

          (iv) to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock to be covered
     by each such award granted hereunder;

          (v) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

          (vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the
     terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder, which terms and
     conditions include but are not limited to the exercise or purchase price,
     the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised
     (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or
     waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation
     regarding any Option, Optioned Stock, Stock Purchase Right or Restricted
     Stock, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole
     discretion, shall determine;

          (vii) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option may
     be settled in cash under Section 9(f) instead of Common Stock;
<PAGE>

          (viii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then current
     Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by
     such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was granted and
     to make any other amendments or adjustments to any Option that the
     Administrator determines, in its discretion and under the authority granted
     to it under the Plan, to be necessary or advisable, provided however that
     no amendment or adjustment to an Option that would materially and adversely
     affect the rights of any Optionee shall be made without the prior written
     consent of the Optionee;

          (ix) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to Stock
     Purchase Rights and the Restricted Stock purchased by exercising such Stock
     Purchase Rights;

          (x) to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

          (xi) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
     granted under the Plan; and

          (xii) in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without
     amending the Plan, to modify grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to
     Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United
     States in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies or
     customs.

          (e) Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations
and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all
Participants.

     5. Eligibility.

          (a) Recipients of Grants. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock
Purchase Rights may be granted to Employees and Consultants. Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees; provided however that Employees of
Affiliates shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options. An Employee
or Consultant who has been granted an Option or Stock Purchase Right may, if he
or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options or Stock Purchase
Rights.

          (b) Type of Option. Each Option shall be designated in the Option
Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary) exceeds $ 100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and
the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall
be determined as of the date of grant of such Option.
<PAGE>

          (c) At-Will Relationship. The Plan shall not confer upon any
Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such
holder's right or the Company's right to terminate his or her employment or
consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.

     6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless sooner
terminated under Section 15 of the Plan.

     7. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, is a Ten Percent Holder,
the term of such Option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

     8. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

          (a) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant
to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the
following:

          (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is:

               (A) granted to an Employee who at the time of grant is a Ten
          Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
          110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

               (B) granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price
          shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
          date of grant.

          (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option that is:

               (A) granted prior to the date, if any, on which the Common Stock
          becomes a Listed Security to a person who at the time of grant is a
          Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
          110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant if
          required by the Applicable Laws and, if not so required, shall be such
          price as is determined by the Administrator.

               (B) granted prior to the date, if any, on which the Common Stock
          becomes a Listed Security to any other eligible person, the per Share
          exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per
          Share on the date of grant if required by the Applicable Laws and, if
          not so required, shall be such price as is determined by the
          Administrator.
<PAGE>


          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per
     Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or
     other corporate transaction.

          (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash; (2)
check; (3) delivery of Optionee's promissory note with such recourse, interest,
security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to be
appropriate; (4) cancellation of indebtedness; (5) other Shares that (x) in the
case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, either have been owned by
the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or such other
period as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings or were
not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised; (6) authorization for the
Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which
the Option is exercised; (7) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if
applicable, shall require to effect exercise of the Option and prompt delivery
to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price
and any applicable withholding taxes; (8) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment; or (9) such other consideration and method of payment for
the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws. In
making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company, and the Administrator may refuse to
accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise if,
in its sole discretion, acceptance of such form of consideration is not in the
best interests of the Company at such time.

     9. Exercise of Option.

          (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the term of the Plan and
reflected in the Option Agreement, including vesting requirements and/or
performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee; provided
however, that, if required by the Applicable Laws, any Option granted prior to
the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security shall
become exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the
date the Option is granted. In the event that any of the Shares issued upon
exercise of an Option (which exercise occurs prior to the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security) should be subject to a right
of repurchase in the Company's favor, such repurchase right shall, if required
by the Applicable Laws, lapse at the rate of at least 20% per year over five
years from the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the above, in the
case of an Option granted to an officer, Director or Consultant of the Company
or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, the Option may become
fully exercisable, or a repurchase right, if any, in favor of the Company shall
lapse, at any time or during any period established by the Administrator. The
Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent
the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave of absence; provided
however that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be
tolled during any such leave.

<PAGE>

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.


          An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has
received full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
not withstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause
to be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan.


          Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan
and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.

          (b) Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship.

          (i) Termination other than for Cause, Death or Disability. In the
     event of the termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status with
     the Company, other than a termination for Cause (as defined below), death
     (as provided for in Section 9(d)), or disability (as provided for in
     Section 9(b)), such Optionee may, but only within three months (or such
     other period of time, not less than 30 days, as is determined by the
     Administrator, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock
     Option being made at the time of grant of the Option) after the date of
     such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the
     term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or
     her Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at
     the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not
     entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the
     Optionee does not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the
     time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Optioned Stock
     underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
     Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no termination shall be
     deemed to occur and this Section 9(b) shall not apply if (i) the Optionee
     is a Consultant who becomes an Employee, or (ii) the Optionee is an
     Employee who becomes a Consultant.
<PAGE>

          (ii) Termination for Cause. In the event of the termination for Cause
     of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status with the Company, the Option
     will expire on Participant's Termination Date, or at such later time and on
     such conditions as are determined by the Committee.

          (iii) Definition of Cause. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Cause"
     for Optionee's termination shall include (A) Optionee's misconduct or
     negligence in performance of his or her duties hereunder as determined by
     the Company; (B) dishonest or fraudulent conduct, a deliberate attempt to
     do an injury to the Company, or conduct that discredits the Company or is
     detrimental to the reputation of the Company, including conviction of a
     felony; (C) Optionee's violation of the Company's policies and prohibitions
     on discrimination and harassment, or (D) Optionee's material breach of any
     element of the Company's Confidential Information and Invention Assignment
     Agreement, including without limitation, Optionee's theft or other
     misappropriation of the Company's proprietary information.

          (c) Disability of Optionee.

          (i) Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of
     an Optionee's Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her total and
     permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
     such Optionee may, but only within twelve months (or such other period of
     time as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the
     case of an Incentive Stock Option made at the time of grant of the Option)
     from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
     expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
     Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to
     exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the
     Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
     termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent
     so entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and
     the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall
     revert to the Plan.
<PAGE>

          (ii) In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service
     Status as a result of a disability which does not fall within the meaning
     of total and permanent disability (as set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of the
     Code), such Optionee may, but only within twelve months (or such other
     period of time as is determined by the Administrator, with such
     determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option made at the time of
     grant of the Option) from the date of such termination (but in no event
     later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in
     the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled
     to exercise it at the date of such termination. However, to the extent that
     such Optionee falls to exercise an Option that is an Incentive Stock Option
     (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) within three months of the
     date of such termination, the Option will not qualify for Incentive Stock
     Option treatment under the Code. To the extent that the Optionee was not
     entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the
     Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the
     time period specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Optioned
     Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the
     Plan.

          (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee during
the period of Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of the Option,
or within thirty (30) days following termination of the Optionee's Continuous
Service Status, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by such
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of death or, if earlier, the date of termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Service Status. To the extent that the Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or termination, as the case
may be, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the
Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan.

          (e) Extension of Exercise Period. The Administrator shall have full
power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to
remain exercisable following termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as
an Employee or Consultant from the periods set forth in Sections 9(b), 9(c) and
9(d) above or in the Option Agreement to such greater time as the Board shall
deem appropriate, provided, that in no event shall such Option be exercisable
later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement.

          (f) Buy-Out Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted under the Plan
based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and
communicate to the Optionee at the time such offer is made.

     10. Stock Purchase Rights.

          (a) Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must
accept such offer, which shall in no event exceed 30 days from the date upon
which the Administrator made the determination to grant the Stock Purchase
Right. If required by the Applicable Laws, the purchase price of Shares subject
to Stock Purchase Rights shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares as of the date of the offer, or, in the case of a person owning stock
representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the price shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of the offer. If
the Applicable Laws do not impose restrictions on the purchase price, the
purchase price of Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall be as determined
by the Administrator. The offer to purchase Shares subject to Stock Purchase
Rights shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
in the form determined by the Administrator.

          (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the
purchaser's employment with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original purchase price paid by
the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the
purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine; provided, however, that with respect to a purchaser
who is not an officer, Director or Consultant of the Company or of any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, it shall lapse at a minimum rate of 20% per year if
required by the Applicable Laws.

          (c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In
addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements need not be the
same with respect to each purchaser.

          (d) Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13
of the Plan.

     11. Taxes.

          (a) As a condition of the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase
Right granted under the Plan, the Participant (or in the case of the
Participant's death, the person exercising the Option) shall make such
arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any
applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right and
the issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares
under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

          (b) In the case of an Employee and in the absence of any other
arrangement, the Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to
withhold or collect from his or her compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy
such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the
date of an exercise of the Option.

          (c) This Section 11(c) shall apply only after the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security. In the case of a Participant
other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll
payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any
remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the
extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Participant shall be deemed to
have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a
Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below)
equal to the amount required to be withheld. For purposes of this Section 11,
the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under the
Applicable Laws (the "Tax Date").

          (d) If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, a
Participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of
an Option or Stock Purchase Right by surrendering to the Company Shares that (i)
in the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company, have been owned by
the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have
a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount
required to be withheld.

          (e) Any election or deemed election by a Participant to have Shares
withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under Section 11(c) or (d) above
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is
made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.
Any election by a Participant under Section 11(d) above must be made on or prior
to the applicable Tax Date.
<PAGE>

          (f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by a
Participant and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option or Stock Purchase
Right is exercised but such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to
tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

          12. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Options
and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution; provided however that, after the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, the Administrator may in its
discretion grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to Option
Agreements specifying (i) the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options
are transferable and (ii) that any such transfer shall be subject to the
Applicable Laws. The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not
constitute a transfer. An Option or Stock Purchase Right may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the holder of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, only by
such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 12.

     13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Corporate Transactions and
Certain Other Transactions.

          (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or that have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock (including
any change in the number of Shares of Common Stock effected in connection with a
change of domicile of the Company), or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of Shares of Common Stock subject to an Option
or Stock Purchase Right.
<PAGE>

          (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator.

          (c) Corporate Transactions. In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an
equivalent option or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or
a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless such successor
corporation does not agree to assume the outstanding Options or Stock Purchase
Rights or to substitute equivalent options or rights, in which case such Options
or Stock Purchase Rights shall terminate upon the consummation of the
transaction.


                   For purposes of this Section 13(c), an Option or a Stock
Purchase Right shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time
of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction,
each holder of an Option or Stock Purchase Right would be entitled to receive
upon exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right the same number and kind of
shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such
holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the
transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the
holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option or the
Stock Purchase Right at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the
number of Shares covered by the Option or Stock Purchase Right as provided for
in this Section 13); provided however that if such consideration received in the
transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Option or
Stock Purchase Right to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

          (d) Certain Distributions. In the event of any distribution to the.
Company's shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other
than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of
consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right to reflect the effect of such
distribution.

     14. Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant
of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on
which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock
Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator;
provided, however, that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the grant
date shall be the later of the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Incentive Stock Option or the date of commencement
of the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company. Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or
Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of
such grant.
<PAGE>

     15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a) Authority to Amend or Terminate. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination (other than an adjustment made
pursuant to Section 13 above) shall be made that would materially and adversely
affect the rights of any Optionee or holder of Stock Purchase Rights under any
outstanding grant, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with the Applicable Laws, the Company shall
obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a
degree as required.

          (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment or termination of
the Plan shall materially and adversely affect Options already granted, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

     16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Notwithstanding 7 any other
provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to
the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for,
failure to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or
delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined
by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel.


          As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right,
the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase
Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares
are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to
sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such a representation is required by law.

     17. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will
at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     18. Agreements. Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be evidenced by
Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, respectively, in
such form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

     19. Shareholder Approval. If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance
of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company
within twelve months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such
shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
the Applicable Laws.
<PAGE>

     20. Information and Documents to Optionees and Purchasers. Prior to the
date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security and if
required by the Applicable Laws, the Company shall provide financial statements
at least annually to each Optionee and to each individual who acquired Shares
pursuant to the Plan, during the period such Optionee or purchaser has one or
more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and in the case of an
individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such
individual owns such Shares. The Company shall not be required to provide such
information if the issuance of Options or Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan
is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure
their access to equivalent information. In addition, at the time of issuance of
any securities under the Plan, the Company shall provide to the Optionee or the
purchaser a copy of the Plan and any agreement(s) pursuant to which securities
granted under the Plan are issued.
