                                    SECTION 3
                           SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

            3.1 Number Available. A maximum of 300,000 shares (after giving
effect to the June 2001 stock split) of Common Stock shall be available for
issuance pursuant to the Plan. Beginning with the first fiscal year of the

fiscal year of the Company, Shares will be added to the Plan equal to the least

<PAGE>   3


determined by the Board. Shares sold under the Plan may be newly issued shares
or treasury shares.

            3.2 Adjustments. In the event of any reorganization,
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination
of shares, merger, consolidation, offering of rights or other similar change in
the capital structure of the Company, the Board may make such adjustment, if

                                    SECTION 4
                                   ENROLLMENT

            4.1 Participation. Each Eligible Employee may elect to become a
Participant by enrolling or re-enrolling in the Plan effective as of any
Enrollment Date. In order to enroll, an Eligible Employee must complete, sign
and submit to the Company an enrollment form in such form, manner and by such
deadline as may be specified by the Committee from time to time (in its
discretion and on a nondiscriminatory basis). Any Participant whose option
expires and who has not withdrawn from the Plan automatically will be
re-enrolled in the Plan on the Enrollment Date immediately following the
Purchase Date on which his or her option expires. Any Participant whose option
has not expired and who has not withdrawn from the Plan automatically will be
deemed to be un-enrolled from the Participant's current option and be enrolled
as of a subsequent Enrollment Date if the price per Share on such subsequent
Enrollment Date is lower than the price per Share on the Enrollment Date
relating to the Participant's current option.

            4.2 Payroll Withholding. On his or her enrollment form, each
Participant must elect to make Plan contributions via payroll withholding from
his or her Compensation. Pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may
specify from time to time, a Participant may elect to have withholding equal to
a whole percentage from 1% to 10% (or such lesser, or greater, percentage that
the Committee may establish from time to time for all options to be granted on
any Enrollment Date). A Participant may elect to increase or decrease his or her
rate of payroll withholding by submitting a new enrollment form in accordance
with such procedures as may be established by the Committee from time to time. A
Participant may stop his or her payroll withholding by submitting a new
enrollment form in accordance with such procedures as may be established by the
Committee from time to time. In order to be effective as of a specific date, an
enrollment form must be received by the Company no later than the deadline
specified by the Committee, in its discretion and on a nondiscriminatory basis,
from time to time. Any Participant who is automatically re-enrolled in the Plan
will be deemed to have elected to continue his or her contributions at the
percentage last elected by the Participant.

                                    SECTION 5
                        OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

            5.1 Grant of Option. On each Enrollment Date on which the
Participant enrolls or re-enrolls in the Plan, he or she shall be granted an
option to purchase shares of Common Stock.


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

            5.2 Duration of Option. Each option granted under the Plan shall
expire upon the conclusion of the option's offering period which will end on the
earliest to occur of (a) the completion of the purchase of shares on the last
Purchase Date occurring within 27 months of the Grant Date of such option, (b)
such shorter option period as may be established by the Committee from time to
time prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be granted on such
Enrollment Date, or (c) the date on which the Participant ceases to be such for
any reason. Until otherwise determined by the Committee for all options to be
granted on an Enrollment Date, the period referred to in clause (b) in the
preceding sentence shall mean the period from the applicable Enrollment Date
through the last business day prior to the immediately following Enrollment
Date.

            5.3 Number of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares
available for purchase by each Participant under the option will be established
by the Committee from time to time prior to an Enrollment Date for all options
to be granted on such Enrollment Date.

            5.4 Other Terms and Conditions. Each option shall be subject to the
following additional terms and conditions:

            (a) payment for shares purchased under the option shall be made only
        through payroll withholding under Section 4.2;

            (b) purchase of shares upon exercise of the option will be
        accomplished only in accordance with Section 6.1;

            (c) the price per share under the option will be determined as
        provided in Section 6.1; and

            (d) the option in all respects shall be subject to such other terms
        and conditions (applied on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis), as
        the Committee shall determine from time to time in its discretion.

                                    SECTION 6
                               PURCHASE OF SHARES

            6.1 Exercise of Option. Subject to Section 6.2, on each Purchase
Date, the funds then credited to each Participant's account shall be used to
purchase whole shares of Common Stock. Any cash remaining after whole shares of
Common Stock have been purchased shall be carried forward in the Participant's
account for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. The price per
Share of the Shares purchased under any option granted under the Plan shall be
eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of:

            (a) the closing price per Share on the NASDAQ National Market System
        on the business day preceding the Grant Date for such option; or

            (b) the closing price per Share on the NASDAQ National Market System
        on the Purchase Date;



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

provided, however, that with respect to any Grant Date under the Plan that
coincides with the date of the final prospectus for the initial public offering
of the Common Stock, the price in clause (a) above shall be the price per Share
at which shares of Common Stock are initially offered for sale to the public by
the Company's underwriters in such offering.

            6.2 Delivery of Shares. As directed by the Committee in its sole
discretion, shares purchased on any Purchase Date shall be delivered directly to
the Participant or to a custodian or broker (if any) designated by the Committee
to hold shares for the benefit of the Participants. As determined by the
Committee from time to time, such shares shall be delivered as physical
certificates or by means of a book entry system.

            6.3 Exhaustion of Shares. If at any time the shares available under
the Plan are over-enrolled, enrollments shall be reduced proportionately to
eliminate the over-enrollment. Such reduction method shall be "bottom up," with
the result that all option exercises for one share shall be satisfied first,
followed by all exercises for two shares, and so on, until all available shares
have been exhausted. Any funds that, due to over-enrollment, cannot be applied
to the purchase of whole shares shall be refunded to the Participants (without
interest thereon).

                                    SECTION 7
                                   WITHDRAWAL

            7.1 Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan by
submitting a completed enrollment form to the Company. A withdrawal will be
effective only if it is received by the Company by the deadline specified by the
Committee (in its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) from
time to time. When a withdrawal becomes effective, the Participant's payroll
contributions shall cease and all amounts then credited to the Participant's
account shall be distributed to him or her (without interest thereon).

                                    SECTION 8
                           CESSATION OF PARTICIPATION

            8.1 Termination of Status as Eligible Employee. A Participant shall
cease to be a Participant immediately upon the cessation of his or her status as
an Eligible Employee (for example, because of his or her termination of
employment from all Employers for any reason). As soon as practicable after such
cessation, the Participant's payroll contributions shall cease and all amounts
then credited to the Participant's account shall be distributed to him or her
(without interest thereon). If a Participant is on a Company-approved leave of
absence, his or her participation in the Plan shall continue for so long as he
or she remains an Eligible Employee and has not withdrawn from the Plan pursuant
to Section 7.1.

                                    SECTION 9
                           DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY

            9.1 Designation. Each Participant may, pursuant to such uniform and
nondiscriminatory procedures as the Committee may specify from time to time,
designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive any amounts credited to the
Participant's account at the time of his or her death. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Section 9, Sections 9.1 and 9.2 shall

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

be operative only after (and for so long as) the Committee determines (on a
uniform and nondiscriminatory basis) to permit the designation of Beneficiaries.

            9.2 Changes. A Participant may designate different Beneficiaries (or
may revoke a prior Beneficiary designation) at any time by delivering a new
designation (or revocation of a prior designation) in like manner. Any
designation or revocation shall be effective only if it is received by the
Committee. However, when so received, the designation or revocation shall be
effective as of the date the designation or revocation is executed (whether or
not the Participant still is living), but without prejudice to the Committee on
account of any payment made before the change is recorded. The last effective
designation received by the Committee shall supersede all prior designations.

            9.3 Failed Designations. If a Participant dies without having
effectively designated a Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary survives the
Participant, the Participant's Account shall be payable to his or her estate.

                                   SECTION 10
                                 ADMINISTRATION

            10.1 Plan Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to control and manage the
operation and administration of the Plan.

            10.2 Actions by Committee. Each decision of a majority of the
members of the Committee then in office shall constitute the final and binding
act of the Committee. The Committee may act with or without a meeting being
called or held and shall keep minutes of all meetings held and a record of all
actions taken by written consent.

            10.3 Powers of Committee. The Committee shall have all powers and
discretion necessary or appropriate to supervise the administration of the Plan
and to control its operation in accordance with its terms, including, but not by
way of limitation, the following discretionary powers:

            (a) To interpret and determine the meaning and validity of the
        provisions of the Plan and the options and to determine any question
        arising under, or in connection with, the administration, operation or
        validity of the Plan or the options;

            (b) To determine any and all considerations affecting the
        eligibility of any employee to become a Participant or to remain a

<PAGE>   7

            (f) To designate a custodian or broker to receive shares purchased
        under the Plan and to determine the manner and form in which shares are
        to be delivered to the designated custodian or broker;

            (g) To determine the status and rights of Participants and their
        Beneficiaries or estates;

            (h) To employ such brokers, counsel, agents and advisers, and to
        obtain such broker, legal, clerical and other services, as it may deem
        necessary or appropriate in carrying out the provisions of the Plan;

            (i) To establish, from time to time, rules for the performance of
        its powers and duties and for the administration of the Plan;

            (j) To adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or

        foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States;

            (k) To delegate to any one or more of its members or to any other
        person, severally or jointly, the authority to perform for and on behalf
        of the Committee one or more of the functions of the Committee under the
        Plan.

            10.4 Decisions of Committee. All actions, interpretations, and
decisions of the Committee shall be conclusive and binding on all persons, and
shall be given the maximum possible deference allowed by law.

            10.5 Administrative Expenses. All expenses incurred in the
administration of the Plan by the Committee, or otherwise, including legal fees
and expenses, shall be paid and borne by the Employers, except any stamp duties
or transfer taxes applicable to the purchase of shares may be charged to the
account of each Participant. Any brokerage fees for the purchase of shares by a
Participant shall be paid by the Company, but fees and taxes (including
brokerage fees) for the transfer, sale or resale of shares by a Participant, or
the issuance of physical share certificates, shall be borne solely by the
Participant.

            10.6 Eligibility to Participate. No member of the Committee who is
also an employee of an Employer shall be excluded from participating in the Plan
if otherwise eligible, but he or she shall not be entitled, as a member of the
Committee, to act or pass upon any matters pertaining specifically to his or her
own account under the Plan.

            10.7 Indemnification. Each of the Employers shall, and hereby does,
indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Committee and the Board, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (including attorneys'
fees and amounts paid, with the approval of the Board, in settlement of any
claim) arising out of or resulting from the implementation of a duty, act or
decision with respect to the Plan, so long as such duty, act or decision does
not involve gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any such
individual.

                                   SECTION 11
                      AMENDMENT, TERMINATION, AND DURATION

            11.1 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time
and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, the Board, in its discretion, may
elect to terminate all outstanding options either immediately or upon completion
of the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date, or may elect to permit
options to expire in accordance with their terms (and participation to continue
through such expiration dates). If the options are terminated prior to
expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants' accounts which have not
been used to purchase shares shall be returned to the Participants (without
interest thereon) as soon as administratively practicable.

            11.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall commence on the date
specified herein, and subject to Section 11.1 (regarding the Board's right to
amend or terminate the Plan), shall remain until June 30, 2011.

                                   SECTION 12
                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

            12.1 Participation by Subsidiaries. One or more Subsidiaries of the
Company may become participating Employers by adopting the Plan and obtaining
approval for such adoption from the Board. By adopting the Plan, a Subsidiary
shall be deemed to agree to all of its terms, including (but not limited to) the
provisions granting exclusive authority (a) to the Board to amend the Plan, and
(b) to the Committee to administer and interpret the Plan. An Employer may
terminate its participation in the Plan at any time. The liabilities incurred
under the Plan to the Participants employed by each Employer shall be solely the
liabilities of that Employer, and no other Employer shall be liable for benefits
accrued by a Participant during any period when he or she was not employed by
such Employer.

            12.2 Inalienability. In no event may either a Participant, a former
Participant or his or her Beneficiary, spouse or estate sell, transfer,
anticipate, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any right or interest
under the Plan; and such rights and interests shall not at any time be subject
to the claims of creditors nor be liable to attachment, execution or other legal
process. Accordingly, for example, a Participant's interest in the Plan is not
transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order.

            12.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be
held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not
affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

            12.4 Requirements of Law. The granting of options and the issuance
of shares shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and
to such approvals by any governmental agencies or securities exchanges as the
Committee may determine are necessary or appropriate.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

            12.5 Compliance with Rule 16b-3. Any transactions under this Plan
with respect to officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the 1934
Act) are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the
extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply,
it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan,
if the Committee specifically determines that compliance with Rule 16b-3 no
longer is required, all references in the Plan to Rule 16b-3 shall be null and
void.

            12.6 No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment
or maintenance of the Plan, the granting of options, the purchase of shares, nor
any action of any Employer or the Committee, shall be held or construed to
confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee of the
Employer nor, upon dismissal, any right or interest in any specific assets of
the Employers other than as provided in the Plan. Each Employer expressly
reserves the right to discharge any employee at any time, with or without cause.

            12.7 Apportionment of Costs and Duties. All acts required of the
Employers under the Plan may be performed by the Company for itself and its
Subsidiaries, and the costs of the Plan may be equitably apportioned by the
Committee among the Company and the other Employers. Whenever an Employer is
permitted or required under the terms of the Plan to do or perform any act,
matter or thing, it shall be done and performed by any officer or employee of
the Employers who is thereunto duly authorized by the Employers.

            12.8 Construction and Applicable Law. The Plan is intended to
qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section
423(b) of the Code. Any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section
423(b) of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the
Committee, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423(b). The
provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced in
accordance with such Section and with the laws of the State of California
(excluding California's conflict of laws provisions).

            12.9 Captions. The captions contained in and the table of contents
prefixed to the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and in no way
define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor in any
way shall affect the construction of any provision of the Plan.
