                           2002 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1.   Establishment And Purpose.

The purposes of the Plan are to (i) attract and retain persons who are eligible
to participate in the Plan, (ii) motivate such persons, by means of appropriate
incentives, to contribute to the long-range growth and success of the Company,
(iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with
those of other similar companies and (iv) further associate the interests of the
Company's directors, executive officers, employees, and non-employee
contributors with those of its other stockholders through compensation that is
based on the performance of the Company's Stock; and thereby promote the
long-term financial interest of the Company and enhance stockholder return. The
Plan provides for the direct award of Shares or Stock Units, the sale of Shares
and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan
may be Nonstatutory Stock Options ("NSOs") or Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs").
Capitalized terms are defined in Section 12.

SECTION 2.   Administration.

             (a) Committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan shall be
administered by a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("Committee")
or, if no Committee has been appointed, by the Board of Directors. The Committee
shall consist of two or more members of the Board of Directors who have been
appointed by the Board of Directors; provided that following the effectiveness
of a registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, each member of the Committee shall be a non-employee director as
defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) promulgated under Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Committee shall have such authority and be
responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it. Any
reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a
reference to the Committee to the extent the Board of Directors has assigned a
particular function.

             (b) Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions
of the Plan, the Board of Directors, acting through the Committee, shall have
full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and
other actions of the Committee or Board of Directors shall be final and binding
on Purchasers, Optionees and persons deriving rights from a Purchaser or
Optionee.

SECTION 3.   Eligibility.

             (a) General Rule. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
only Eligible Persons shall receive awards under the Plan. As used herein, the
term "Eligible Persons" means

<PAGE>


(i) key executive Employees or other significant Employees as established from
time to time by the Board of Directors and (ii) Directors or Consultants
providing key services to the Company or its Subsidiaries. In the discretion of
the Board of Directors, an Eligible Person may be granted any award permitted
under the provisions of the Plan, except that only Employees shall be eligible
to receive grants of ISOs. More than one award may be granted to an Eligible
Person. Awards may be granted as alternatives to, or replacements of, awards
outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or
its Subsidiaries.

             (b) Ten-Percent Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if an ISO is granted to an individual who owns more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the
Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (i) the Exercise Price shall be
not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant and
(ii) such ISO by its terms shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five
years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in
determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code
shall be applied.

SECTION 4.   Stock Subject To Plan.

             (a) Limitations. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized
but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares that may
be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 10,269,515 Shares, subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 8. The number of Shares that are subject to
Options, Stock Units or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan
shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance
under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times
reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan.

             (b) Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding Option or
other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the
Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall
again be available for issuance under the Plan. In the event that Shares issued
under the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture
provision, right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such Shares shall
again be available for issuance under the Plan.

SECTION 5.   Terms And Conditions Of Awards Or Sales.

            (a) Stock Purchase Agreement. Each award of Shares or Stock Units or
sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be
evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company.
Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of
the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not
inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate
for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock
Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

             (b) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right
to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option or Stock Unit) shall
automatically expire if not



                                       2

<PAGE>


exercised by the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the date of the grant
of such right to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right
was granted.

             (c) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of Shares,
the Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require
or approve, including without limitation, withholding of Shares, for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations
that may arise in connection with such purchase.

             (d) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Any
Shares awarded or sold under the Plan may be subject to such special forfeiture
conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and transfer
restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be
set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition
to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally.

             (e) Accelerated Vesting. Unless the applicable Stock Purchase
Agreement provides otherwise, any right to repurchase a Purchaser's Shares at
the original Purchase Price upon termination of the Purchaser's Service shall
lapse and all of such Shares shall become vested if the Company is subject to a
Change in Control before the Purchaser's Service terminates.

SECTION 6.   Terms And Conditions Of Options.

             (a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan
shall be evidenced by a Notice of Option Grant or a Stock Option Agreement
between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all
applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other
terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the
Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Notice of Option Grant
or a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Notice of Option
Grants or Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical.

             (b) Number of Shares. Each Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option
Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and
shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8.
The Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether
the Option is an ISO or a NSO.

             (c) Exercise Price. Each Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option
Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. Subject to Section 3(b) herein, the
Exercise Price of any Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors in
its sole discretion and payable by the Purchaser in any manner set forth in
Section 7 hereof.

             (d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option,
the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require
or approve, including without limitation, withholding of Shares, for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations
that may arise in connection with such exercise.

<PAGE>


             (e) Exercisability. Each Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option
Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to
become exercisable. The exercisability provisions of any Notice of Option Grant
or Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the Board of Directors and set
forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.

             (f) Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability. Unless the applicable
Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, all of an
Optionee's Options shall become vested and exercisable in full upon a Change in
Control of the Company.

             (g) Basic Term. The Board of Directors shall establish the term of
each Option and such term shall be set forth in the Notice of Option Grant or
Stock Option Agreement. No Option shall be granted for a term of more than ten
(10) years.

             (h) Nontransferability. No Option shall be transferable by the
Optionee other than by beneficiary designation, will or the laws of descent and
distribution. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. No
Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated
by the Optionee during the Optionee's lifetime, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

             (i) Termination of Service (Except by Death, Disability or
Retirement). If an Optionee's Service terminates for any reason other than the
Optionee's death, Disability or Retirement, then the Optionee's Options shall
expire on the earliest of the following occasions:

                 (i)   The termination date determined pursuant to subsection
(g) above; or

                 (ii)  The date thirty days after the termination of the
Optionee's Service for any reason other than Death, Disability, Retirement or
Cause, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine; or

                 (iii) The date of the termination of the Optionee's Service for
Cause, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.

The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee's Options at any time
before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to
the extent that such Options had vested and otherwise become exercisable before
the Optionee's Service terminated. The balance of such Options shall lapse when
the Optionee's Service terminates.

             (j) Termination of Service in the Event of Death, Disability or
Retirement. If an Optionee dies or becomes Disabled while the Optionee is in
Service, or upon Retirement of the Optionee, the Optionee's Options shall expire
on the earlier of the following dates:

                 (i)  The expiration date determined pursuant to subsection (g)
above; or

                 (ii) The date 12 months after the Optionee's termination of
Service.


                                       4

<PAGE>

All or part of the Optionee's Options may be exercised at any time before the
expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the Optionee's legal
representative, executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate, or by any
person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary
designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options
had become exercisable before the Optionee's termination of Service. The balance
of such Options shall lapse when the Service of the Optionee terminates.

             (k) Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Subsection (i) above,
Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave
of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if
continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the
terms of such leave (as determined by the Company) or by applicable law.

             (l) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by the Optionee's Option until such person becomes entitled to receive
such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price
pursuant to the terms of such Option.

             (m) Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume
outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options
(whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of
new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights
or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option.

             (n) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such vesting, special
forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other
transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions
shall be set forth in the applicable Notice of Option Grant or Stock Option
Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to
holders of Shares generally.

SECTION 7.   Payment For Shares.

             (a) General Rule. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this
Plan may be in cash (check) or cash equivalents at the time of purchase, in any
manner set forth below and in any combination of the following:

                 (i) by surrender of shares that either (A) have been owned by
the Purchaser for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the
meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(or, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note,
such note has been fully repaid with respect to such shares); or (B) were
acquired by the Purchaser in the public market;



                                       5

<PAGE>

                 (ii)  if specifically approved by the Board of Directors, by
tender of a full recourse promissory note bearing interest at a rate sufficient
to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code, and
otherwise having such terms as may be approved by the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that Purchasers who are not Employees or Directors of the
Company shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless
the note is adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares; or

                 (iii) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an
Option, and provided that a public market for the Shares exists: (A) through a
"same day sale" commitment from the Purchaser and a broker-dealer that is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD Member")
whereby the Purchaser irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a
portion of the Shares thereby purchased to pay the Exercise Price, and whereby
the NASD Member irrevocably commits upon receipt of the proceeds of such sales
to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (B) through a "margin"
commitment from the Purchaser and a NASD Member whereby the Purchaser
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares thereby
purchased to the NASD Member in a margin account as security for a loan from the
NASD Member in the amount of the Exercise Price and, whereby the NASD Member
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price
directly to the Company.

SECTION 8.   Adjustment Of Shares.

             (a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an
extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has
a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or
consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the
Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in (i) the number of
Shares available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares
covered by each outstanding Option and (iii) the Exercise Price under each
outstanding Option.

             (b) Mergers and Consolidations. In the event that the Company is a
party to a merger or consolidation, outstanding Options shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement, without the Optionees'
consent, may provide for:

                 (i)   The continuation of such outstanding Options by the
Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation);

                 (ii)  The assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options
by the surviving corporation or its parent;

                 (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its
parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding
Options; or

<PAGE>

                 (iv) The cancellation of each outstanding Option after payment
to the Optionee of an amount in cash or cash equivalents equal to (A) the Fair
Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option at the time of the merger or
consolidation minus (B) the Exercise Price of the Shares subject to such Option.

             (c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, an
Optionee or Purchaser shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend
or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any
class. Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and
no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 9.   Securities Law Compliance.

             (a) General. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the
issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all
applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state
securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or
other securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded.

SECTION 10.  No Rights to Continued Employment.

Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall
confer upon the Purchaser or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any
period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way
the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which rights are
hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time
and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 11.  Duration and Amendments.

             (a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become
effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, subject to the
approval of the Company's stockholders. In the event that the stockholders fail

Directors, any grants of Options or sales or awards of Shares that have already
occurred shall be rescinded, and no additional grants, sales or awards shall be
