[EMERGENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC. LOGO]



                              AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN


    Emergent Information Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Company"), originally adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective as of
March 1, 1999, and amended the plan effective as of July 1, 1999. The Plan was
amended again on November 1, 2000. This Amended and Restated Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is effective as of March 21, 2001.

                                    ARTICLE 1
                               PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

        1.1 Purpose. The Company has determined that it is in its best interest
to provide incentives to attract and retain employees and to increase employee
morale by providing a program through which employees of the Company, and the
Company's subsidiaries as the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of
Directors" or the "Board") may from time to time designate (each a "Designated
Subsidiary," and collectively, "Designated Subsidiaries"), may acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Common
Stock of the Company ("Company Stock"). The Plan is hereby established by the
Company to permit employees to subscribe for, and purchase directly from the
Company, shares of the Company Stock at a discount from the market price and to
pay the purchase price in installments by payroll deductions. The Plan is
intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code").
Accordingly, the provisions of the Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and
construed in a matter consistent with the requirements of that section of the
Code. The Plan is not intended to be an employee benefit plan under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and therefore is not required to comply
with that Act.

                                    ARTICLE 2
                                   DEFINITIONS

        2.1 Compensation. "Compensation" means wages, tips, overtime pay,
bonuses, commissions, and other Compensation reported on Form W-2. Compensation
shall include any amounts contributed by the Employer pursuant to a salary
reduction agreement that is not currently includible in the Participant's gross
income by reason of the application of Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(g)(3),
402(h)(1)(B), 403(b), 414(h)(2), or 457(b). Compensation excludes the sum of all
of the following items, even if otherwise includible in gross income: (i)
reimbursements or other expense allowances; (ii) cash and noncash fringe
benefits; (iii) moving expenses; (iv) deferred compensation; and (v) welfare
benefits.

        2.2 Eligibility Date. "Eligibility Date" means ninety (90) calendar days
from an Employee's initial date of employment with the Company or any of its
Designated Subsidiaries.

        2.3 Employee. "Employee" means each person currently employed by the
Company or any of its Designated Subsidiaries, any portion of whose income is
subject to federal withholding of income or employment taxes, but excluding any
persons employed by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary on a part-time
(less than 20 hours per week) or temporary basis.

        2.4 Enrollment Date. "Enrollment Date" means the first day of each
Offering Period (January 1 and July 1) under the Plan. However, for the first
Offering Period, the Enrollment Date shall be July 1, 1999 and shall extend
through July 31, 1999.

        2.5 Five Percent (5%) Owner. "5% Owner" means an Employee who,
immediately after the grant of any rights under the Plan, would own Company
Stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase Company Stock possessing five
percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company. For purposes of this Section, the ownership attribution rules of
Code Section 425(d) shall apply.

        2.6 Offering Period. "Offering Period" means either of the six-month
periods from January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31 of each
year. The first Offering Period shall commence on July 1, 1999 and shall end
December 31, 1999.

        2.7 Participant. "Participant" means an Employee who has satisfied the
eligibility requirements of Section 3.1 and has become a participant in the Plan
in accordance with Section 3.2.

        2.8 Purchase Date. "Purchase Date" means the last day of each Offering
Period (i.e., June 30 or December 31).

                                    ARTICLE 3
                          ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

        3.1 Eligibility. Subject to limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the
Code, each Employee of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary may become a
Participant in the Plan on the Enrollment Date coincident with or next following
the Eligibility Date.

        3.2 Participation. An Employee who has satisfied the eligibility
requirements of Section 3.1 may become a Participant in the Plan upon his
completion and delivery to the Company's stock purchase coordinator, as
designated by the Company, of an election notice form provided by the Company
(the "Election Notice Form") authorizing payroll deductions. Payroll deductions
for a Participant shall commence on the Enrollment Date coincident with or next
following the filing of the Participant's Election Notice Form and shall remain
in effect until revoked by the Participant by the filing of a notice of
withdrawal from the Plan under Article 8 or by the filing of a new Election
Notice Form providing for a change in the Participant's payroll deduction rate
in accordance with Section 5.

        3.3 Special Rules. Under no circumstances shall:

               (a) A 5% Owner be granted a right to purchase Company Stock under
        the Plan;

               (b) A Participant be entitled to purchase Company Stock under the
        Plan which, when aggregated with all other employee stock purchase plans
        of the Company, exceed an amount equal to the Aggregate Maximum.
        "Aggregate Maximum" means an amount equal to $21,250 worth of Company
        Stock (determined using the fair market value of such Company Stock at
        each applicable Enrollment Date) during each calendar year; or

               (c) The number of shares of Company Stock purchasable by a
        Participant on any Purchase Date exceed 5,000 shares, subject to
        periodic adjustments under Section 10.4.

                                 OFFERING PERIOD

    The initial grant of the right to purchase Company Stock under the Plan
shall occur on July 1, 1999 and terminate on December 31, 1999. Thereafter, the
Plan shall provide for Offering Periods commencing on each Enrollment Date and
terminating on the next following Purchase Date.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                               PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

        5.1 Participant Election. Upon completion of the Election Notice Form,
each Participant shall designate the amount of payroll deductions to be made
from his or her paycheck to purchase Company Stock under the Plan. The amount of
payroll deductions shall be designated in whole percentages of Compensation, not
to exceed 15%. The amount so designated upon the Election Notice Form shall be
effective as of the next payroll period and shall continue until terminated or
altered in accordance with Section 5.2 below.

        5.2 Changes in Election. A Participant may terminate participation in
the Plan at any time prior to the close of an Offering Period as provided in
Article 8. A Participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions
once during each Offering Period by completing and delivering to the Company's
stock purchase coordinator a new Election Notice Form setting forth the desired
change. A Participant may also terminate payroll deductions and have accumulated
deductions for the Offering Period applied to the purchase of Company Stock as
of the next Purchase Date by completing and delivering to the stock purchase
coordinator a new Election Notice Form setting forth the desired change. Any
change under this Section shall become effective on the next payroll period (to
the extent practical under the Company's payroll practices) following the
delivery of the new Election Notice Form.

        5.3 Participant Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a
separate account ("Account") for each Participant. The amount of each
Participant's payroll deductions shall be credited to his or her Account. No
interest will be paid or allowed on amounts credited to a Participant's Account.
All payroll deductions received by the Company under the Plan are general
corporate assets of the Company and may be used by the Company for any corporate
purpose. The Company is not obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                            GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHTS

        6.1 Right to Purchase Shares. On each Purchase Date, each Participant
shall have the right to purchase at the price determined under Section 6.2 that
number of shares (including fractional shares) of Company Stock that can be
purchased or issued by the Company based upon that price with the amounts held
in his or her Account, subject to the limits set forth in Section 3.3. In the
event that there are amounts held in a Participant's Account that are not used
to purchase Company Stock, such amounts shall remain in the Participant's
Account and shall be eligible to purchase Company Stock in any subsequent
Offering Period.

        6.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for any Offering Period shall be
the lesser of:

               (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the
        Enrollment Date; or

               (b) 85% of the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the Purchase
        Date.

<PAGE>   4

        6.3 Fair Market Value. "Fair Market Value" shall be determined as
follows:

               (a) If the Company Stock is then listed or admitted to trading on
        the NASDAQ National Market or a stock exchange which reports closing
        sale prices, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing sale price on
        the date of valuation on the NASDAQ National Market or principal stock
        exchange on which the Company Stock is then listed or admitted to
        trading, or, if no closing sale price is quoted or no sale takes place
        on such day, then the Fair Market Value shall be the closing sale price
        of the Company Stock on the NASDAQ National Market or such exchange on
        the next preceding day on which a sale occurred.

               (b) If the Company Stock is not then listed or admitted to
        trading on the NASDAQ National Market or a stock exchange which reports
        closing sale prices, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the
        closing bid and asked prices of the Company Stock in the
        over-the-counter market on the date of valuation.

               (c) If neither (a) nor (b) is applicable as of the date of
        valuation, then the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the
        Administrator (see Section 7.2) using any reasonable method of
        valuation, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on all
        interested parties.

                                    ARTICLE 7
                                PURCHASE OF STOCK

        7.1 Purchase of Company Stock. A Participant who does not, prior to a
Purchase Date, notify the Company that such Participant does not want to
purchase any shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan or that such
Participant wants to purchase fewer than the maximum number of shares available
for purchase, shall be deemed to elect to purchase the maximum number of shares
of Company Stock (including fractional shares) purchasable with the amounts held
in such Participant's Account, at the purchase price determined under Section
6.2 above and, on each Purchase Date, the Plan shall purchase such shares on
behalf of such Participant. In the event that there are amounts held in a
Participant's Account that are not used to purchase Company Stock, all such
amounts shall be held in the Participant's Account and carried forward to the
next Offering Period. The Board or a Committee may, in its discretion, limit the
purchase of Company Stock to only whole shares and not fractional shares.

        7.2 Delivery of Company Stock.

               (a) Company Stock acquired under the Plan shall be issued
        directly to a contract administrator (the "Administrator") engaged by
        the Company to administer the Plan under Article 9. All Company Stock so
        issued ("Plan Held Stock") shall be held in the name of the
        Administrator for the benefit of the Plan. The Administrator shall
        maintain accounts for the benefit of the Participants that shall reflect
        each Participant's interest in the Plan Held Stock. Such accounts shall
        reflect the number of shares of Company Stock (including fractional
        shares) that are being held by the Administrator for the benefit of each
        Participant.

               (b) For share withdrawals, only whole shares of Company Stock
        will be issued to a Participant. The time of issuance and delivery of
        shares may be postponed for such period as may be necessary to comply
        with the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as
        amended, the listing requirements of any securities exchange on which
        the Company Stock may then be listed, or the requirements under other
        laws or regulations applicable to the issuance or sale of such shares. A
        payment will be made to a Participant for any fractional shares of
        Company Stock owned by the Participant. This payment shall be computed
        using the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the
        withdrawal is processed by the Company's



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

        stock purchase coordinator. For shares of Company Stock sold by a
        Participant from his or her account maintained by the Administrator, the
        Participant shall receive credit for all whole and fractional shares at
        the actual price for which the shares were sold.

                                    ARTICLE 8
                                   WITHDRAWAL

        8.1 In Service Withdrawal. At any time prior to the Purchase Date of an
Offering Period, a Participant may withdraw the amounts held in his or her
Account by executing and delivering to the Company's stock purchase coordinator
written notice of withdrawal on the form provided by the Company. In such a
case, the entire balance of the Participant's Account shall be paid to the
Participant, without interest, as soon as is practicable. Upon such
notification, the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan for the
remainder of the Offering Period in which the notice is given. An Employee who
has withdrawn under this Section 8.1 at least thirty (30) days prior to the
Purchase Date of an Offering Period shall be excluded from participation in the
Plan for the remainder of the Offering Period, but may then be reinstated as a
participant for a subsequent Offering Period by executing and delivering a new
Election Notice Form to the Company's stock purchase coordinator. An Employee
who has withdrawn under this Section 8.1 less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Purchase Date of an Offering Period shall be excluded from participation in the
Plan for the remainder of the Offering Period and for one (1) subsequent
Offering Period, but may thereafter be reinstated as a participant for a
subsequent Offering Period by executing and delivering a new Election Notice
Form to the Company's stock purchase coordinator.

        8.2 Termination of Employment. In the event that a Participant's
employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Participant shall
cease to participate in the Plan on the date of termination. As soon as is
practical following the date of termination, the entire balance of the
Participant's Account shall be paid to the Participant, without interest.

                                    ARTICLE 9
                               PLAN ADMINISTRATION

        9.1 Plan Administration.

               (a) The authority to control and manage the operation and
        administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Board of Directors or
        a committee ("Committee") thereof. The Board or the Committee shall have
        all powers necessary to supervise the administration of the Plan and
        control its operations.

               (b) In addition to any powers and authority conferred on the
        Board or Committee elsewhere in the Plan or by law, the Board or the
        Committee shall have the following powers and authority:

                      (i) To designate agents to carry out responsibilities
               relating to the Plan;

                      (ii) To administer, interpret, construe and apply the Plan
               and to answer all questions which may arise or which may be
               raised under the Plan by a Participant, his beneficiary or any
               other person whatsoever;

                      (iii) To establish rules and procedures from time to time
               for the conduct of its business and for the administration and
               effectuation of its responsibilities under the Plan; and



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

                      (iv) To perform or cause to be performed such further acts
               as it may deem to be necessary, appropriate, or convenient for
               the operation of the Plan.

               (c) Any action taken in good faith by the Board or the Committee
        in the exercise of authority conferred upon it by this Plan shall be
        conclusive and binding upon a Participant and his beneficiaries. All
        discretionary powers conferred upon the Board shall be absolute.

        9.2 Limitation on Liability. No Employee or member of the Board or
Committee shall be subject to any liability with respect to his or her duties
under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the
Committee and every other member of the Board, as well as any other Employee
with duties under the Plan, against all liabilities and expenses (including any
amount paid in settlement or in satisfaction of a judgment) reasonably incurred
by the individual in connection with any claims against the individual by reason
of the performance of the individual's duties under the Plan. This indemnity
shall not apply, however, if: (a) it is determined in the action, lawsuit, or
proceeding that the individual is guilty of gross negligence or intentional
misconduct in the performance of those duties; or (b) the individual fails to
assist the Company in defending against any such claim. The Company shall have
the right to select counsel and to control the prosecution or defense of the
suit. The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any individual for any
amount incurred through any settlement or compromise of any action unless the
Company consents in writing to the settlement or compromise.

                                   ARTICLE 10
                                  COMPANY STOCK

        10.1 Limitations on Purchase of Shares. The maximum number of shares of
Company Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be
950,000 shares, subject to adjustment under Section 10.4 below. The shares of
Company Stock to be sold to Participants under the Plan will be issued by the
Company. If the total number of shares of Company Stock that would otherwise be
issuable pursuant to rights granted pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Plan at the
Purchase Date exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the
Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available in as
uniform and equitable manner as is practicable. In such event, the Company shall
give written notice of such reduction of the number of shares to each
participant affected thereby and any unused payroll deductions shall be returned
to such participant if necessary.

        10.2 Registration of Company Stock. Shares to be delivered to a
Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant.

        10.3 Changes in Capitalization of the Company. Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Company Stock
covered by each right under the Plan which has not yet been exercised and the
number of shares of Company Stock which have been authorized for issuance under
the Plan but have not yet been placed under rights or which have been returned
to the Plan upon the cancellation of a right, as well as the Purchase Price per
share of Company Stock covered by each right under the Plan which has not yet
been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease
in the number of issued shares of Company Stock resulting from a stock split,
stock dividend, spin-off, reorganization, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, exchange of shares or the like. Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board of Directors for the Company, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no
issue 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 Company
Stock subject to any right granted hereunder.

        10.4 Merger of Company. In the event that the Company at any time
proposes to merge into, consolidate with, or enter into any other reorganization
pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving entity (including the sale of
substantially all of its assets or a "reverse" merger in which the Company is
the surviving entity), then, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any
surviving corporation shall assume the rights theretofore granted or substitute
for such rights new rights covering the shares of a successor corporation, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, or (ii)
the Plan and the rights theretofore granted shall continue in full force and
effect. In the event any surviving corporation refuses to assume or continue the
Plan, or to substitute similar options for those under the Plan, then the Board
of Directors or its committee shall cause written notice of the proposed action
to be given to the persons holding rights not less than 10 days prior to the
anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction and, concurrent with the
effective date of the proposed transaction, such rights shall be exercised
automatically in accordance with Section 7.1 as if such effective date were a
Purchase Date of the applicable Offering Period unless a Participant withdraws
from the Plan as provided in Section 8.1.

                                   ARTICLE 11
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

        11.1 Amendment and Termination. The Plan shall terminate on December 31,
2008. Since future conditions affecting the Company cannot be anticipated or
foreseen, the Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate the Plan
at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or termination
shall affect rights previously granted, nor may an amendment make any change in
any right previously granted which adversely affects the rights of any
Participant. In addition, no amendment may be made without prior approval of the
shareholders of the Company if such amendment would:

               (a) Increase the number of shares of Company Stock that may be
        issued under the Plan;

               (b) Materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for
        participation in the Plan; or

               (c) Materially increase the benefits that accrue to Participants
        under the Plan.

        11.2 Benefits Not Alienable. Benefits under the Plan may not be assigned
or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Any attempt at assignment,
transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the
Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with
Article 8.

        11.3 No Enlargement of Employee Rights. The Plan is strictly a voluntary
undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a
contract between the Company and any Employee or to be consideration for, or an
inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Employee. Nothing
contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Employee to be
retained in the employ of the Company or to interfere with the right of the
Company to discharge any Employee at any time.

        11.4 No Additional Rights. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the
granting of any right to purchase stock hereunder shall affect or restrict in
any way the power of the Company to undertake any corporate action otherwise
permitted under applicable law. Furthermore, no Employee shall have any rights
as a Stockholder with respect to shares to be purchased under the Plan until
time at which the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is determined on the
Purchase Date. Finally, except as provided in



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Section 10.4, no adjustments will be made for cash or stock dividends or other
rights relating to Company Stock for which the record date is prior to the
Purchase Date.

        11.5 Governing Law. To the extent not preempted by Federal law, all
legal questions pertaining to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.

        11.6 Non-business Days. When any act under the Plan is required to be
performed on a day that falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, that act
shall be performed on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or
legal holiday. Notwithstanding the above, Fair Market Value shall be determined
in accordance with Section 6.3.

        11.7 Compliance With Securities Laws. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan, the Committee shall administer the Plan in such a way to ensure that
the Plan at all times complies with any requirements of Federal Securities Laws.
