6.1.   The grant of an Option under this Section 6 entitles the Participant to
purchase shares of Series F Preferred at a price fixed at the time the Option is
granted, or at a price determined under a method established at the time the
Option is granted, subject to the terms of this Section 6. Options granted under
this Section 6 may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock
Options.

6.2.   
The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom Options are to be granted
under this Section 6 and shall determine the number of shares of Series F
Preferred to be subject to each such Option. To the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the Series F Preferred with respect to which Incentive
Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any
calendar year (under all plans of the Employers) exceeds $100,000, such Options
shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options, to the extent required by
Section 422 of the Code.

6.3.   The determination and payment of the purchase price of a share of Series F Preferred
under each Option granted under this Section 6 shall be subject to the
following:

| | (a)    The purchase price for each Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100%
of the Fair Market Value of the Series F Preferred on the Grant Date (110% in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who directly or
indirectly owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock of the Company), and the purchase price established for each
Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be less than 80% of the Fair Market Value
of the Series F Preferred on the Grant Date;
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)    Subject to the following provisions of this Subsection 6.3, the full purchase
price of each share of Series F Preferred purchased upon the exercise of any
Option shall be paid at the time of such exercise and, as soon as practicable
thereafter, a certificate representing the shares so purchased shall be
delivered to the person entitled thereto; and
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)   The purchase price shall be payable either in cash or shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock of the Company (valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of
exercise), through a combination of cash or shares of the Company or through
such cashless exercise arrangement as may be approved by the Committee and
established by the Company, provided that any shares used for payment shall have
been owned by the Participant for at least six (6) months.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.4.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board, in accordance with its charter and
bylaws, may from time to time, and in its sole discretion as it deems
appropriate, authorize and issue additional series of Series F Preferred for
purchase pursuant to Options under the Plan. All such Options to purchase such
additional series of Series F Preferred shall be made in accordance with, and
subject to, the terms and provisions of the Plan.

6.5.   Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, the terms and conditions relating
to each Option shall be established by the Committee and set forth in an Award
Agreement. In no event shall an Option be for a term of more than ten (10) years
from its date of grant.

6.6.   Each Option may be exercised during its term only to the extent it becomes
exercisable. Except for any acceleration pursuant to Subsection 6.7, an Option
shall become exercisable only as follows:

| | (a)   The first 12/36 of an Option shall become exercisable upon completion of one
year of Continuous Service by the Participant with an Employer from the date of
grant of such Option and an additional 1/36 of such Option shall become
exercisable upon the Participants completion of each full month of
Continuous Service with an Employer thereafter.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)   Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to a Participants Date of
Termination, 50% of the then non-exercisable portion of any outstanding
Option(s) held by the Participant shall become exercisable; thereafter, the
remaining non-exercisable portion of any outstanding Options shall continue to
become exercisable pursuant to the schedule set forth in Subsection 6.6(a) or
the provisions of Subsection 6.7.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

6

6.7.   Subject to the terms of a Participants employment agreement in effect with the
Company as of the Date of Termination, the extent to which a Participant shall
have the right to exercise any outstanding Options following the Date of
Termination shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:

| | (a)   If a Participants Date of Termination occurs prior to death and is on
account of (i) an involuntary termination by the Employer for Cause or (ii) a
voluntary termination by the Participant other than for Retirement, Disability
or Good Reason, the unexercised portion of all the Participants
outstanding Options as of the Date of Termination shall automatically be
forfeited upon such Date of Termination without payment of consideration by the
Company.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)   Notwithstanding the schedule set forth in Subsection 6.6(a), if a
Participants Date of Termination occurs within twelve (12) months from the
date of grant of the Option, and the Date of Termination is on account of (i)
death, (ii) voluntary termination by the Participant on account of Retirement or
Disability, (iii) involuntary termination by the Employer without Cause prior to
a Change in Control or (iv) voluntary termination by the Participant for Good
Reason prior to a Change in Control, 1/36 of the Option shall become exercisable
for each full month of Continuous Service with the Employer subsequent to the
date of grant of the Option and shall remain exercisable for such time as
provided below in Subsection 6.7(d). Otherwise, any portion of an Option, to the
extent it has not become exercisable as of the Date of Termination pursuant to
this Subsection 6.7(b) or Subsection 6.6, shall automatically be forfeited upon
such Date of Termination without payment of consideration by the Company.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c)    If a Participants Date of Termination occurs within one (1) yearfollowing a Change in Control and on account of an involuntary termination
by the Employer without Cause or voluntary termination by the Participant for
Good Reason, the remaining portion of any outstanding Options which have not
become exercisable pursuant to Subsection 6.6 shall immediately become
exercisable in full and remain exercisable for such time as provided below in
Subsection 6.7(d).
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)   Except to the extent otherwise forfeited pursuant to this Subsection 6.7, any
portion of an Option which becomes exercisable pursuant to Subsection 6.6 or
Subsections 6.7(b) or 6.7(c) and which has not already expired as of or in
connection with the Date of Termination, shall remain exercisable until ten (10)
years from the date of grant of the Option or, if earlier:
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (i)   if the Participants termination occurs on account of death, Disability, or
Retirement, one (1) year after the Date of Termination if the Option is a
Non-Qualified Stock Option and three (3) months if the Option is an Incentive
Stock Option; or
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)   if the Participants employment is involuntarily terminated by the Employer
without Cause or the Participant voluntarily terminates employment for Good
Reason, three (3) months after the Date of Termination.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.8.   Options which are, or become, exercisable at the time of a Participants death may
be exercised by the Participants designated beneficiary or, in the absence
of such designation, by the person to whom the Participants rights will
pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6.9.   Except to the extent the Committee shall otherwise determine, if, as a result of a sale
or other transaction (other than a Change in Control), a Participants
Employer ceases to be a Related Company (and the Participants Employer is
or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), the occurrence of such
transaction shall be treated as the Participants Date of Termination
caused by the Participants employment being terminated by the
Participants Employer without Cause.

6.10.   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6, the Committee
may, with respect to any Options awarded to a Participant (or portion thereof)
that are outstanding immediately prior to the Participants Date of
Termination, determine that a Participants Date of Termination will not
result in forfeiture or other termination of such Options.

6.11.   Options granted under the Plan are not transferable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. To the extent that the Participant who
receives an Option under the Plan has the right to exercise such Option, the
Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the
Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 6.11,
the Committee may permit Options under the Plan (other than Incentive Stock
Options) to be transferred by a Participant for no consideration to, or for the
benefit of, members of the Participants Immediate Family (including,
without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of members of a
Participants Immediate Family or to a family partnership for the benefit
of members of the Participants Immediate Family), subject to such limits
as the Committee may establish, provided that the transferee shall remain
subject to all of the terms and conditions applicable to such Options prior to
such transfer.

6.12.   Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Plan, to the extent
that the acceleration of the exercisability of an Option, either alone or
together with other payments or rights accruing to the Participant from an
Employer, would constitute a parachute payment (as defined in
Section 280G of the Code and regulations thereunder), such acceleration of the
Option pursuant to this Article 6 shall be reduced by such amount as is
necessary so the Participant will not be subject to an excise tax under Code
Section 4999; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
shall not apply to the extent the Participants employment agreement in
effect on the date of such acceleration provides for an alternate treatment of
payments or rights with respect to the treatment of payments or rights that
would constitute parachute payments under Code Section 280G.

SECTION 7Units

7.1.   During the Offering, Participants holding shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock
of the Company shall be eligible to purchase Units for up to a maximum of 100%
of the Participants pro rata share of the Offering, based on the
Participants holdings in the Company (125% based on any investment which
the Participant may have had in Series B Preferred). Each Unit consists of one
share of Series D Preferred, a Series D Warrant and additional Series E
Warrants, as described below. The purchase price is $1.50 per Unit.

7.2.   Each eligible Participant shall receive an Award Agreement setting forth his or her
pro rata share of the Offering and the number of Units which he or she may
purchase. Units may be purchased by the Participant only by completing and
submitting to the Company his or her Award Agreement prior to the deadline set
forth therein. The Committee may require, in its sole discretion, that a
Participant execute additional documents prior to receiving Units pursuant to
the Plan.

7.3.   Payment for Units  purchased  pursuant to the Plan may only be made: (a) in cash,  (b) by certified  check or (c)
pursuant to any loan program which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish.

7.4.   Upon receipt and approval by the Company of the completed Award Agreement, and upon
execution by the Participant of any additional documents which may be required
by the Committee, the Company shall issue as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter duly issued stock certificates representing the number of shares of
Series D Preferred the Participant is entitled to receive pursuant to the
purchase of the Units and warrant certificates in respect of the Series D
Warrants and Series E Warrants the Participant is entitled to receive pursuant
to the purchase of the Units.

7.5.   Shares of Series D Preferred, Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants received pursuant
to the purchase of Units under the Plan shall not be subject to any risk of
forfeiture, vesting schedule or other restrictions, except as otherwise provided
herein or in the applicable stock certificates or warrant certificates, and
except that shares of Series D Preferred received pursuant to the purchase of
Units, and shares of Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred received pursuant
to the exercise of Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants, shall be subject to
the Stockholders Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Shareholders
Agreement by virtue of accession as an existing stockholder of the Company.

7.6.   Each Unit includes a five-year Series D Warrant to purchase one share of Series D
Preferred at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In addition, a Participant
who does not participate in a loan program and who purchases more than his or
her pro rata share of the Offering (or more than 125% of his or her pro rata
share based on investments in Series B Preferred) will receive one additional
five-year Series D Warrant, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, for each
Unit purchased in excess of such pro rata share. In order to exercise the $0.01
Series D Warrants, the holder must also exercise an equal number of $1.50 Series
D Warrants. Pursuant to the terms and provisions set forth in the applicable
Series D Warrant certificate, the exercise price of the Series D Warrants may be
paid either in cash and/or by delivery of shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock which have been owned by the Participant for at least six (6) months and
having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price,
or by net issue exercise (as described in the applicable Series D Warrant
certificate).

7.7.   Each Unit also includes Series E Warrants, expiring March 31, 2002, to acquire a
number of shares of the various series of Series E Preferred at $1.00 per share
($1.75 per share for Participants holding Series B Preferred who subscribe for
less than 125% of their pro rata portion of the Offering based on their
investment in Series B Preferred). The individual series of Series E Preferred
for which Series E Warrants shall be exercisable (i.e., Series E-3, E-4, E-5,
etc.) shall be determined by the Common Stock or Preferred Stock in respect of
which the Series E Warrants are issued. The number of shares of Series E
Preferred for which the Series E Warrants will be exercisable will be determined
by dividing the percentage amount of the Participants invested capital (up
to 100%) equal to the percentage of the Participants pro rata share of the
Offering that is purchased (up to 100% or 125% based on a Participants
investment in Series B Preferred) by $1.00, except that the number of Series E
Warrants issued in respect of Common Stock investments at less than $1.00 per
share will be equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock purchased at
that price. The Series E Warrants will be allocated among the various series of
Series E Preferred based upon the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock
currently owned by the Participant and the purchase price paid by the
Participant for such shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the
terms and provisions set forth in the applicable Series E Warrant certificate,
the exercise price of the Series E Warrants may be paid either in cash and/or by
delivery of shares of Common Stock or Series A, A-1, B, C-1, C-2 or C-3
Preferred Stock which the Participant has owned for at least six (6) months. For
the purpose of the payment of the exercise price of the Series E Warrants, such
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock will be valued at the amount invested
in such shares (or $1.00 per share for shares of Common Stock acquired for less
than $1.00 per share), as described in the applicable Series E Warrant
certificate.

7.8.   Both Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred will have a liquidation preference as
follows:

| | (a)   Participants holding Series D Preferred, along with other holders of Series D
Preferred, will be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any
distribution to holders of any other series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock,
a liquidation preference for each share in an amount equal to $3.00 per share,
plus a preferred return on the $1.50 purchase price per Unit of 8% per annum
from the original issue date of such Series D Preferred, or, if greater, the
amount such holders would have received if their shares had been converted into
shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company. Any acquisition of the Company by means of a merger
or any sale or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the assets or
outstanding stock of the Company shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company for this purpose.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b)   The shares of Series E Preferred received pursuant to the exercise of Series E
Warrants will have an aggregate initial liquidation preference equal to the
greater of (i) (x) the aggregate investment made in the shares of Common Stock
or Preferred Stock of the Participant in respect of which the Series E Warrants
were issued plus any accrued preferred return applicable to such Preferred
Stock, plus (y) a preferred return on such investment of 8% per annum, or (ii)
the amount such holders would have received if their shares had been converted
into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company. Such 8% return shall accrue from the date of issuance
of the Series E Warrants.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.9.   Each share of Series D Preferred and Series E Preferred will be convertible into one
share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment. Upon any issuance or sale of
shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share of
less than the then-existing conversion price of the Series D Preferred, subject
to certain exceptions, the conversion price of Series D Preferred will be
adjusted so that it is not greater than the lowest consideration per share
received or to be received by the Company in such issuance or conversion. The
Series E Preferred will be entitled to conversion adjustments under the same
weighted average adjustment formula that is applicable to the existing series of
Preferred Stock. The full ratchet formula applicable to the Series D
Preferred will provide a more favorable adjustment for holders of Series D
Preferred than that which is provided under the weighted average adjustment
formula. The weighted average and full ratchet conversion price
adjustments apply in respect of any issuance or sale by the Company of shares of
Common Stock or any security convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share of less than
any of the then existing conversion prices, except for issuances:

| | upon conversion of Series A, A-1, B, C-1, C-2, C-3, D, E-1 through E-13 and F preferred stock;
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | upon issuance or exercise of the Company's $1.81,  $2.03,  $3.00, $6.00 and $10.25 common stock warrants
         or the Series D Warrants or Series E warrants;
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | to officers,  directors,  employees,  consultants or advisors pursuant to stock option or stock purchase
         plans, warrants or agreements from time to time approved by the Board;
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | as a dividend or  distribution  on shares of Series A, A-1, B, C-1,  C-2, C-3, D, E-1 through E-13 and F
         preferred stock; and
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | in connection with Board-approved acquisitions.
| | -----------------------------------------------

Each
share of Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of Common
Stock at the then-effective conversion price upon the closing of the sale of
Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to exceptions for certain types
of registrations, at a public offering price equal to or exceeding $1.00 per
share of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or
splits with respect to the Common Stock), and in which the aggregate proceeds to
the Company and/or any selling stockholders are at least $50,000,000. If the
public offering price in such offering is less than $3.00 per share, the number
of shares of Common Stock to be issued on the conversion of the shares of Series
D Preferred will be increased by multiplying the number of shares that would
otherwise be issued by a fraction, the numerator of which is $3.00 and the
denominator of which is such public offering price per share.

7.10.   No dividends will be payable on the Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred,
and such shares will not be redeemable, either at the option of the Participant
or at the option of the Company.

7.11.   A Participant may purchase more than his or her pro rata share of Units. Any
Participant who purchases more than his or her pro rata share, or more than 125%
of his or her pro rata share for a holder of Series B Preferred, shall receive
one additional Series D Warrant for each Unit purchased in excess of such pro
rata share.

SECTION 8Adjustments to Awards

8.1.   If the Company shall effect a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
event, or effect any subdivision or consolidation of shares of Common Stock,
Series D Preferred, Series E Preferred or Series F Preferred, or other capital
readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, combination of
shares or recapitalization or other increase or reduction of the number of
shares of Common Stock, Series D Preferred, Series E Preferred or Series F
Preferred outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money, services
or property, then the Committee, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion,
shall adjust (i) the number of shares of Series F Preferred available under the
Plan, (ii) the number of shares of Series F Preferred subject to then
outstanding Options or (iii) the per-share price under any outstanding Options.
All share adjustments shall be made to the nearest full share. Adjustments with
respect to any then outstanding Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants shall be
made in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant certificates.

8.2.   If the Committee determines that an adjustment in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of Subsection 8.1 would not be fully consistent with the
purposes of the Plan or the purposes of the outstanding Awards under the Plan,
the Committee may make such other adjustment to the Awards, if any, that the
Committee determines is equitable and consistent with the purposes of the Plan
and/or the affected Awards.

SECTION 9No Right to Continued Employment or Affiliation

9.1.   Participation in the Plan shall confer no rights to continued employment or affiliation with
an Employer, nor shall it restrict the right of an Employer to terminate a
Participants employment or affiliation with such Employer at any time.

SECTION 10Tax Withholding

10.1.   All Awards and other payments under the Plan are subject to the withholding of
all applicable taxes which are legally required to be withheld, which
withholding obligations shall be satisfied (without regard to whether the
Participant has transferred an Award under the Plan) by a cash remittance, the
withholding from any cash or stock remuneration then or thereafter payable, or
with the consent of the Committee, through the surrender of shares of Common
Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company which the Participant owns or to
which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan pursuant to an
irrevocable election submitted by the Participant to the Company. Except as
otherwise provided herein or in the applicable Award Agreement (or, in the case
of Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants, the applicable warrant certificate),
the number of shares needed to be submitted in payment of the taxes shall be
determined using the Fair Market Value of the shares being tendered as of the
applicable tax date rounding down to the nearest whole share; provided that no
election to have shares withheld from an Award or submission of shares of stock
shall be effective with respect to an Award which was transferred by a
Participant in accordance with the Plan.

SECTION 11Termination and Amendment

11.1.   The Board may suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan, provided that no
suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may terminate a
Participants existing Award or materially and adversely affect a
Participants rights under such Award without the Participants
consent.
