grant of an Option and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of

      3. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. Subject to the provisions of Section 15 of
the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be sold under the Plan
is 26,100,000 Shares of Common Stock (before giving effect to the stock split to
be effected in connection with the Company's initial public offering), plus an
annual increase on the first day of each of the Company's fiscal years beginning
in each of 2005 through 2009 equal to the lesser of (a) 5,000,000 Shares (before
giving effect to the stock split to be effected in connection with the Company's
initial public offering), (b) 4% of the Shares outstanding on the last day of
the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (c) such lesser number of Shares as
the Board shall determine; provided however that the maximum number of Shares
that may be added in any year pursuant to this sentence shall not result in the
Plan's having available for issuance an aggregate number of Shares that exceeds
4% of the "fully diluted" (as defined below) Shares of outstanding Common Stock
as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. For purposes of
illustrating how this formula is intended to work, if the number of Shares
remaining available as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year
equaled 4.5% of the fully diluted Shares, then no additional Shares would be
added for the year, and if the number of Shares remaining available as of the
last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year equaled 2.5% of the fully
diluted Shares, then the number of Shares that would be added for the year would
equal 1.5% of the fully diluted Shares (but in any event not more than 5,000,000
Shares (before giving effect to the stock split to be effected in connection
with the Company's initial public offering)). For purposes of this Section 3,
outstanding Shares on a "fully diluted" basis shall be the number of Shares that
is equal to (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock issued and then
outstanding, plus (ii) all Shares subject to or available for Awards under this
Plan, the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and its Directors' Stock Option
Plan.

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

      4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.


            (a) GENERAL. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
Committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. The Plan may be
administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different
classes of Participants and, if permitted by the

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
Applicable Laws, the Board may authorize one or more officers to grant Awards
under the Plan. The Plan shall be administered in a manner designed to comply
with the Applicable Laws.

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

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

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

                  (ii) to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Awards
may from time to time be granted;

                  (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Awards are
granted;

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

                  (v) to approve forms of Award agreements for use under the
Plan, which forms may differ from Participant to Participant as to the terms and
conditions imposed thereby;

                  (vi) except to the extent specifically prohibited by the terms
of the Plan, to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted
hereunder, which terms and conditions include but are not limited to the
exercise or purchase price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised
(which may be based on performance criteria), the basis on which participants
shall vest in Optioned Stock, any vesting and/or exercisability acceleration or
waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding
any Option, Optioned Stock, Stock Purchase Right, Restricted Stock or Stock
Award, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole
discretion, shall determine;

                  (vii) subject to the requirements of Section 17(b) below and
except to the extent specifically prohibited by the terms of the Plan, to amend
the terms of any outstanding Award;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
                  (viii) to adjust the vesting or exercisability of an Award,
Optioned Stock or Restricted Stock held by a Participant as a result of a change
in the terms or conditions under which such person is providing services to the
Company (e.g., to proportionately slow down vesting in the event a Participant
goes from a full- to part-time service provider);

                  (ix) subject to Section 17(b) below, to initiate an Option
Exchange Program, including to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the
then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
covered by such Option shall have declined since the date the Option was
granted, and to make any other amendments or adjustments in connection therewith
to any Option that the Administrator determines, in its discretion and under the
authority granted to it hereunder, to be necessary or advisable;

                  (x) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards
granted under the Plan; and

                  (xi) in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without
amending the Plan in any material way that would require stockholder approval,
to take the following actions that would permit the granting of Awards to
Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States
in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies or customs: modify
the Plan; create a subplan that utilizes Shares reserved under the Plan; grant
Awards to such Participants with terms that differ from Awards granted to
U.S.-based Participants; or modify such Awards.

            (c) EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Participants and on all other parties.

      5. ELIGIBILITY.

            (a) RECIPIENTS OF GRANTS. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Purchase
Rights and Stock Awards may be granted to Employees and Consultants. Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

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

            (c) AT-WILL RELATIONSHIP. Neither the Plan nor the receipt of any
Award hereunder shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to
continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor
shall it interfere in any way with such

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
Participant's right or the Company's right to terminate his or her employment or
consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.

      6. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the
Board. Upon the amendment and restatement of the Plan which becomes effective
upon the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, the Plan term
shall end on April 11, 2013, unless sooner terminated under Section 15 of the
Plan or subsequently extended with the approval of the Company's stockholders;
provided, however that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan
after March 1, 2009.

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

      8. LIMITATION ON GRANTS TO EMPLOYEES. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 15 below, the maximum number of Shares that may be subject to Options
granted to any one Employee under this Plan for any fiscal year of the Company
shall be 4,000,000 Shares (before giving effect to the stock split to be
effected in connection with the Company's initial public offering).

      9. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                       -9-
<PAGE>

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

                        (C) granted on any date on which the Common Stock is a
Listed Security to any eligible person, the per Share Exercise Price shall be
such price as determined by the Administrator (subject to any requirements
imposed by applicable state law that the Participant pay at least the per Share
par value for the Shares being exercised), provided that if such eligible person
is, at the time of the grant of such Option, a Named Executive of the Company,
the per Share Exercise Price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value
on the date of grant if such Option is intended to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

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

            (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash, check or
wire transfer; (2) delivery of Optionee's promissory note with such recourse,
interest, security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to
be appropriate; (subject to the provisions of Section 153 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any
other Applicable Law), (3) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the
Optionee; (4) other Shares that (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise
of an Option, either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on
the date of surrender or such other period as may be required to avoid a charge
to the Company's earnings or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be
exercised; (5) authorization for the Company to retain from the total number of
Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised; (6) if, as of the date of
exercise of an Option the Company then is permitting Participants to engage in a
"same-day sale" cashless brokered exercise program involving one or more
brokers, through such a program that complies with the Applicable Laws
(including without limitation the requirements of Regulation T and other
applicable regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board) and that
ensures prompt delivery to the Company of the amount required to pay the
exercise price and any applicable withholding taxes; (7) any combination of the
foregoing methods of payment; or (8) such other consideration and method of
payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under the Applicable
Laws. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company, and the Administrator may refuse to
accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
exercise if, in its sole discretion, acceptance of such form of consideration is
not in the bests interests of the Company at such time.

      10. EXERCISE OF OPTION.


            (a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
(including no conditions) as determined by the Administrator, consistent with
the term of the Plan and reflected in the Option agreement, including vesting
requirements and/or performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the
Optionee; provided however that, if required under the Applicable Laws, the
Option (or Shares issued upon exercise of the Option) shall comply with the
requirements of Section 260.140.41(f) and (k) of the Rules of the California
Corporations Commissioner. The Administrator may permit Optionees to exercise
Options as to unvested Optioned Stock and the Administrator may accelerate the
vesting and exercisability of outstanding Options or waive other restrictions
that apply to such Options.

      The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to
what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of
absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting
of Options shall be tolled during any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise
required by the Applicable Laws). In the event of military leave, vesting shall
toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon a
Participant's returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle
him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with
respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Participant
continued to provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same
terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

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

      An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such exercise
has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the
person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment
for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may,
as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of
payment allowable under Section 9(b) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing
such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, not withstanding the
exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the
Plan.

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

                                      -11-
<PAGE>
            (b) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. In the
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status with the Company
for any reason other than pursuant to Section 10(c) or 10(d) below, such
Optionee may, but only within three months (or such other period of time, not
less than 30 days, as is determined by the Administrator) after the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option agreement), exercise his or her Option to the
extent that the Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock at the date of such
termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not vested in the Optioned
Stock at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise the
Option to the extent so vested within the time specified above, the Option shall
terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan. No termination shall be deemed to occur and
this Section 10(b) shall not apply if (i) the Optionee is a Consultant who
becomes an Employee, or (ii) the Optionee is an Employee who becomes a
Consultant.

            (c)   DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.

                  (i) Notwithstanding Section 10(b) above, in the event of
termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her
total and permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code), such Optionee may, but only within twelve months (or such other period of
time as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option made at the time of grant of the Option) from the
date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the
term of such Option as set forth in the Option agreement), exercise the Option
to the extent he or she was vested in the Optioned Stock at the date of such
termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not vested in the Optioned
Stock at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such
Option to the extent so vested within the time specified above, the Option shall
terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan.

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

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
            (d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding Section 10(b) above, in the
event of the death of an Optionee during the period of Continuous Service Status
since the date of grant of the Option, or within 30 days following termination
of the Optionee's Continuous Service Status, the Option may be exercised, at any
time within twelve months following the date of death (but in no event later
than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
agreement), by such Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the
Optionee was vested in the Optioned Stock at the date of death or, if earlier,
the date of termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service Status. To the
extent that the Optionee was not vested in the Optioned Stock at the date of
death or termination, as the case may be, or if the Optionee or his or her
estate or other person acquiring the right to exercise the Option as a result of
his or her death does not exercise such Option to the extent so vested within
the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Optioned Stock
underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

            (e) EXTENSION OF EXERCISE PERIOD. The Administrator shall have full
power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to
remain exercisable following termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as
an Employee or Consultant from the periods set forth in Sections 10(b), 10(c)
and 10(d) above or in the Option agreement to such greater time as the Board
shall deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall such Option be
exercisable later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option agreement.

      11. STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.


            (a) RIGHTS TO PURCHASE. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, the form of consideration that may be used to
purchase shares (which form of consideration shall be consistent with those
forms set forth in Section 9(b) above), and the time within which such person
must accept such offer. If required by the Applicable Laws, the purchase price
of Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall not be less than 85% of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of the offer, or, in the case of
a Ten Percent Holder, the price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the Shares as of the date of the offer. If the Applicable Laws do not
impose the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence, the purchase price
of Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall be as determined by the
Administrator (subject to any requirements imposed by applicable state law that
the Participant pay at least the per Share par value for the Shares being
exercised). The offer to purchase Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall
be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase agreement in the form
determined by the Administrator.

            (b) REPURCHASE OPTION.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
                  (i) GENERAL. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
the Restricted Stock Purchase agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the
purchaser's Continuous Service Status for any reason. The purchase price for
Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase agreement shall be
such price as is determined by the Administrator and permitted under the
Applicable Laws. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate and upon such
conditions as the Administrator may determine; provided, however, that with
respect to Stock Purchase Rights granted on any date on which the Common Stock
is not a Listed Security and if then required by the Applicable Laws, with
respect to a purchaser who is not an officer, Director or Consultant of the
Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, it shall lapse at a
minimum rate of 20% per year.

                  (ii) LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The Administrator shall have the
discretion to determine whether and to what extent the lapsing of Company
repurchase rights shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided,
however, that in the absence of such determination, such lapsing shall be tolled
during any such unpaid leave (unless otherwise required by the Applicable Laws).
In the event of military leave, the lapsing of Company repurchase rights shall
toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon a
Participant's returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle
him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment
and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given "vesting" credit with
respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock Purchase agreement
to the same extent as would have applied had the Participant continued to
provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or
she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

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

            (d) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 15
of the Plan.

      12. STOCK AWARDS. In addition to Options and Stock Purchase Rights and
subject to Section 3 above, the Administrator may also, in its discretion, grant
other forms of equity-based awards ("Stock Awards") under the Plan, including
stock bonus awards, restricted stock awards (including awards involving
restricted stock units), stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights and
similar types of awards. In accordance with Section 4 above, the Administrator
shall have the authority to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Awards.

      13. TAXES.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>
            (a) As a condition of the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award, or
of the issuance of Shares, granted under the Plan, the Participant (or in the
case of the Participant's death, the person exercising the Award) shall make
such arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any
applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such grant, vesting, exercise or issuance. The Company
shall not be required to issue any Award or Shares under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied. If the Administrator allows the withholding or
surrender of Shares to satisfy a Participant's tax withholding obligations under
this Section 13 (whether pursuant to Section 13(c), (d) or (e), or otherwise),
the Administrator shall not allow Shares to be withheld in an amount that
exceeds the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax
purposes, including payroll taxes.

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

            (c) This Section 13(c) shall apply only after the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security. In the case of Participant
other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll
payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any
remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the
extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Participant shall be deemed to
have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of the Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value
determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the amount
required to be withheld. For purposes of this Section 13, the Fair Market Value
of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined under the Applicable Laws (the "Tax
Date").

            (d) If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, a
Participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of
an Award by surrendering to the Company Shares that have a Fair Market Value
determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount required to be
withheld. In the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company that are
surrendered under this Section 13(d), such Shares must have been owned by the
Participant for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender (or such other
period of time as is required for the Company to avoid adverse accounting
charges).

            (e) Any election or deemed election by a Participant to have Shares
withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under Section 13(c) or (d) above
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is
made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.
Any election by a Participant under Section 13(d) above must be made on or prior
to the applicable Tax Date.

            (f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by a
Participant and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive the full number of
Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised but such Participant shall
be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of
Shares on the Tax Date.

      14. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS. Options, Stock Purchase Rights and
Stock Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution; provided however that, after the date, if any, upon which the
Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, the Administrator may in its discretion
grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to Option agreements
specifying (i) the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options are
transferable and (ii) that any such transfer shall be subject to the Applicable
Laws. The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not constitute a
transfer. An Award may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the
Award, only by such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 14.

      15. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS AND
CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS.


            (a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action by the
stockholders of the Company or any other action required by the Applicable Laws,
the following shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in
the number of issued Shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or
reclassification of the Common Stock (including any change in the number of
Shares of Common Stock effected in connection with a change of domicile of the
Company), or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company:

                  (i) the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by each
            outstanding Award;

                  (ii) the specified numbers of Shares set forth in each of
            Section 3(a), the final sentence of Section 3 and Section 8 above;

                  (iii) the number of Shares of Common Stock that have been
            authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards
            have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon
            cancellation or expiration of an Award; and

                  (iv) the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each such
            outstanding Award;

provided however that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."
Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that
respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided
herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares of
Common Stock subject to an Award.

            (b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, each outstanding Award shall terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such action, unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator.

            (c) CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS. In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award shall be
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such
successor corporation, unless such successor corporation does not agree to
assume the outstanding Awards or to substitute equivalent awards, in which case
such Awards shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction.

            For purposes of this Section 15(c), an Award shall be considered
assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other
consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each holder of an Award would be
entitled to receive upon exercise of the Award the same number and kind of
shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such
holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the
transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the
holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Award at such time
(after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the
Award as provided for in this Section 15); provided however that if such
consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of
the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon
exercise of the Award to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

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

      16. TIME OF GRANTING AWARDS. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all
purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Award, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator;
provided however that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the grant date
shall be the later of the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Incentive Stock Option or the date of commencement
of the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company. Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Award is
so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

      17. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

            (a) AUTHORITY TO AMEND OR TERMINATE. Subject to the Applicable Laws,
the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the
Plan, but no

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination (other than an
adjustment made pursuant to Section 15 above) shall be made that would
materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any
outstanding Award, without his or her consent as required in Section 17(b)
below. To the extent required by the Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree
as required.

            (b) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment or termination
of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect Awards already granted, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

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

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

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

      20. AGREEMENTS. Awards shall be evidenced by written agreements in such
form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

      21. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance
of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company
within twelve months before or after the date the Plan is adopted or amended in
any material respect requiring stockholder approval. Such stockholder approval
shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under the Applicable Laws.

      22. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan, Awards made under the Plan and any written
agreements reflecting such Awards shall be governed by and construed and
interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to principles of conflicts of law.

                                   anniversary of the Vesting Commencement

                                   and become exercisable each month
                                   thereafter.

      Vesting Acceleration:        Notwithstanding the above, in the event
                                   you are Involuntarily Terminated (as
                                   defined in the Plan) by the Company or

                                   shall accelerate, and this Option (or
                                   an award substituted therefore) shall
                                   become exercisable, as to 25% of the
                                   then-unvested Shares (but only up to
                                   the total number of Option Shares set
                                   forth above) as of immediately prior to
                                   the effective date of termination of
                                   your Continuous Service Status.

      Termination Period:          Option may be exercised for three (3)
                                   months after termination of employment
                                   or consulting relationship except as
                                   set out in Section 5 of the Stock
                                   Option Agreement (but in no event later
                                   than the Expiration Date).  Optionee is
                                   responsible for keeping track of these
                                   exercise periods following termination
                                   for any reason of his or her service
                                   relationship with the Company.  The
                                   Company will not provide further notice
                                   of such periods.

      Transferability:             This Option may not be transferred.

      By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below,
you and the Company agree that this option is granted under and governed by the
terms and conditions of the RedEnvelope, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan and the Stock
Option Agreement, both of which are attached and made a part of this document.

      In addition, you agree and acknowledge that your rights to any Shares
underlying the Option will be earned only as you provide services to the Company
over time, that the grant of the Option is not as consideration for services you
rendered to the Company prior to your Vesting Commencement Date, and that
nothing in this Notice or the attached documents confers upon you any right to
continue your employment or consulting relationship with the Company for any
period of time, nor does it interfere in any way with your right or the
Company's right to terminate that relationship at any time, for any reason, with
or without cause.

                                 1999 STOCK PLAN

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. RedEnvelope, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), hereby grants to <<Optionee>> ("Optionee"), an option (the "Option")
to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth
in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Notice"), at the exercise price per
Share set forth in the Notice (the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms,
definitions and provisions of the RedEnvelope, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan")
adopted by the Company, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.
Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement
shall have the meanings defined in the Plan. This Stock Option Agreement shall
be deemed executed by the Company and Optionee upon execution by such parties of
the Notice.

         2. DESIGNATION OF OPTION. This Option is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code only to the extent so
designated in the Notice, and to the extent it is not so designated or to the
extent the Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it is intended
to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

         Notwithstanding the above, if designated as an Incentive Stock Option,
in the event that the Shares subject to this Option (and all other Incentive
Stock Options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
including under other plans of the Company) that first become exercisable in any
calendar year have an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as
of the date of grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000,
the Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as subject to a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Plan.

         3. EXERCISE OF OPTION. This Option shall be exercisable during its term
in accordance with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in the Notice and with
the provisions of Section 10 of the Plan as follows:

                  (a) RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

                      (i) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of
a share.

                      (ii) In the event of Optionee's death, disability or other
termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by
Section 5 below, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.

                      (iii) In no event may this Option be exercised after the
Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.
<PAGE>
            (b) METHOD OF EXERCISE.

                            (i) This Option shall be exercisable by delivering
to the Company (or its designee) a written notice of exercise (in the form
attached as Exhibit A or in any other form of notice approved by the Plan
Administrator including pursuant to electronic exercise procedures) which shall
state Optionee's election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in
respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations
and agreements as to the holder's investment intent with respect to such Shares
as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such
written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company
(or its designee) by such means as are determined by the Plan Administrator in
its discretion to constitute adequate delivery (including pursuant to electronic
exercise procedures). The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the
Company (or its designee) of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise
Price.

                            (ii) As a condition to the exercise of this Option
and as further set forth in Section 13 of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make
adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if
any, which arise upon the vesting or exercise of the Option, or disposition of
Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.

                            (iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no
liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares upon exercise of the
Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws,
with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal
counsel. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares
upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or
other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the
Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a
condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to
make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the
Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares
shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is
exercised with respect to such Shares.

         4. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of
the following, or a combination of the following, at the election of Optionee:

            (a) cash, check or wire transfer; or

            (b) following the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock is a
Listed Security, and if the Company is at such time permitting "same day sale"
cashless brokered exercises, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with irrevocable instructions to a broker participating in such
cashless brokered exercise program to deliver promptly to the Company the amount
required to pay the exercise price (and applicable withholding taxes).

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
         5. TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP. Following the date of termination of
Optionee's Continuous Service Status for any reason (the "Termination Date"),
Optionee may exercise the Option only as set forth in the Notice and this
Section 5. To the extent that Optionee is not vested in the Option Shares as of
the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the
Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth
below, the Option shall terminate in its entirety. In no event, may any Option
be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.

            (a) TERMINATION. In the event of termination of Optionee's
Continuous Service Status other than as a result of Optionee's disability or
death, Optionee may, to the extent otherwise so entitled at the date of such
termination (the "Termination Date"), exercise this Option during the
Termination Period set forth in the Notice.

            (b) OTHER TERMINATIONS. In connection with any termination other
than a termination covered by Section 5(a), Optionee may exercise the Option
only as described below:

            (i) TERMINATION UPON DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event of
termination of Optionee's Continuous Service Status as a result of Optionee's
disability, Optionee may, but only within twelve months from the Termination
Date, exercise this Option to the extent Optionee was vested in the Option
Shares as of such Termination Date.

            (ii) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of Optionee (a)
during the term of this Option and while an Employee or Consultant of the
Company and having been in Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of
the Option, or (b) within thirty (30) days after Optionee's Termination Date,
the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve months following the date
of death by Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent Optionee was vested
in the Option Shares as of the Termination Date.

         6. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. [EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH IN THE
NOTICE,] [T]his Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by him or her. The terms of this Option shall be
binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of
Optionee.

         7. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Below is a brief summary as of the date of this
Option of certain of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this Option and
disposition of the Shares under the laws in effect as of the Date of Grant. THIS
SUMMARY IS INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING
OF THE SHARES.

                  (a) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION.

                           (i) TAX TREATMENT UPON EXERCISE AND SALE OF SHARES.
If this Option qualifies as an Incentive Stock Option, there will be no regular
federal income tax liability upon


                                      -3-
<PAGE>
the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be
treated as an adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes
and may subject Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.
If Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are held for at
least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after the
Option grant date, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be
treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares
issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within such
one-year period or within two years after the Option grant date, any gain
realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at
ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise
Price and the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the Shares on the date of
exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares.

                           (ii) NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITIONS. With
respect to any Shares issued upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, if
Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of such Shares on or before the later of
(i) the date two years after the Option grant date, or (ii) the date one year
after the date of exercise, OPTIONEE SHALL IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE COMPANY IN
WRITING OF SUCH DISPOSITION. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that he or she may
be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by Optionee from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of
the current earnings paid to Optionee.

                  (b) NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION. If this Option does not qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option, there may be a regular federal (and state) income
tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Optionee will be treated as
having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal
to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of
exercise over the Exercise Price. If Optionee is an Employee, the Company will
be required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee
and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of
this compensation income at the time of exercise. If Shares issued upon exercise
of a Nonstatutory Stock Option are held for at least one year, any gain realized
on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for
federal income tax purposes.

         8. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT. Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the
Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions
thereof (and has had an opportunity to consult counsel regarding the Option
terms), and hereby accepts this Option and agrees to be bound by its contractual
terms as set forth herein and in the Plan. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as
binding, conclusive and final all decisions and interpretations of the Plan
Administrator regarding any questions relating to the Option. In the event of a
conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and the terms and
provisions of the Notice and this Agreement, the Plan terms and provisions shall
prevail. The Option, including the Plan, constitutes the entire agreement
between Optionee and the Company on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
proposals, written or oral, and all other communications between the parties
relating to such subject matter.

                                 1999 STOCK PLAN

                       RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         This Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as
of <<Date>>, by and between RedEnvelope, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and <<Purchaser>> ("Purchaser") pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock
Plan (the "Plan") Stock Plan. To the extent any capitalized terms used in this
Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the
Plan.

         1. SALE OF STOCK. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and
sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company,
<<NoofShares>> shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") at a purchase
price of $<<PurchasePrice>> per Share for a total purchase price of
$<<TotalPurchasePrice>>. The term "Shares" refers to the purchased Shares and
all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or
splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a
recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is
entitled by reason of Purchaser's ownership of the Shares.

         2. PURCHASE. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement
shall occur at the principal office of the Company, in accordance with Section
11 of the Plan, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the
parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the
"Purchase Date"). On the Purchase Date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a
certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be
issued in Purchaser's name) against payment of the purchase price therefor by
Purchaser by check made payable to the Company.

         3. LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER. In addition to any other limitation on
transfer created by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign,
encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares while the Shares are subject
to the Company's Repurchase Option (as defined below). After any Shares have
been released from the Repurchase Option, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber
or dispose of any interest in such Shares except in compliance with the
provisions below and applicable securities laws.

                  (a) REPURCHASE OPTION.

                           (i) In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
termination of Purchaser's Continuous Service Status for any reason (including
death or disability), with or without cause, the Company shall upon the date of
such termination (the "Termination Date") have an irrevocable, exclusive option
(the "Repurchase Option") for a period of [90 DAYS] from such date to repurchase
all or any portion of the Shares held by Purchaser as of the Termination Date
which have not yet been released from the Company's Repurchase Option at [THE
ORIGINAL


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
PURCHASE PRICE PER SHARE SPECIFIED IN SECTION 1] (adjusted for any stock splits,
stock dividends and the like).

                           (ii) Unless the Company notifies Purchaser within [90
DAYS] from the date of termination of Purchaser's employment or consulting
relationship that it does not intend to exercise its Repurchase Option with
respect to some or all of the Shares, the Repurchase Option shall be deemed
automatically exercised by the Company as of the [90TH DAY] following such
termination, provided that the Company may notify Purchaser that it is
exercising its Repurchase Option as of a date prior to such [90TH DAY]. Unless
Purchaser is otherwise notified by the Company pursuant to the preceding
sentence that the Company does not intend to exercise its Repurchase Option as
to some or all of the Shares to which it applies at the time of termination,
execution of this Agreement by Purchaser constitutes written notice to Purchaser
of the Company's intention to exercise its Repurchase Option with respect to all
Shares to which such Repurchase Option applies. The Company, at its choice, may
satisfy its payment obligation to Purchaser with respect to exercise of the
Repurchase Option by either (A) delivering a check to Purchaser in the amount of
the purchase price for the Shares being repurchased, or (B) [IN THE EVENT
PURCHASER IS INDEBTED TO THE COMPANY, CANCELING AN AMOUNT OF SUCH INDEBTEDNESS
EQUAL TO THE PURCHASE PRICE FOR THE SHARES BEING REPURCHASED, OR (C) BY A
COMBINATION OF (A) AND (B) SO THAT THE COMBINED PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION OF
INDEBTEDNESS EQUALS SUCH PURCHASE PRICE]. In the event of any deemed automatic
exercise of the Repurchase Option pursuant to this Section 3(a)(ii) in which
Purchaser is indebted to the Company, such indebtedness equal to the purchase
price of the Shares being repurchased shall be deemed automatically canceled as
of the [90TH DAY] following termination of Purchaser's employment or consulting
relationship unless the Company otherwise satisfies its payment obligations. As
a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company
shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and
shall have all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company
shall have the right to transfer to its own name the number of Shares being
repurchased by the Company, without further action by Purchaser.

                           (iii) <<Initial%Unvested>> of the Shares shall
initially be subject to the Repurchase Option. <<CliffVestAmount>> of the total
number of shares shall be released from the Repurchase Option on the
<<CliffMonthNumber>> month anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date (as set
forth on the signature page of this Agreement), and an additional
<<MonthlyVesting%>> of the total number of Shares shall be released from the
Repurchase Option each month after the date of issuance of the Shares on the
Monthly Vesting Date (as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement),
until all Shares are released from the Repurchase Option. Fractional shares
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Notwithstanding the above, in the
event that the Purchaser is Involuntarily Terminated (as defined in the Plan) at
the time of or within 12 months following consummation of the Change of Control,
then the rate at which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses shall accelerate
as to 25% of the Shares that would otherwise then be subject to such Repurchase

                  (b) RESTRICTIONS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES. All transferees of
Shares or any interest therein will receive and hold such Shares or interest
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including insofar as applicable the
Company's Repurchase Option. Any sale or transfer of the Shares shall be void
unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied.

                  (c) TERMINATION OF RIGHTS. Upon the expiration or exercise of
the Repurchase Option, a new certificate or certificates representing the Shares
not repurchased shall be issued, on request, without the legend referred to in
Section 5(a) below and delivered to Purchaser.

         4. ESCROW OF UNVESTED SHARES. For purposes of facilitating the
enforcement of the provisions of Section 3 above, Purchaser agrees, immediately
upon receipt of the certificate(s) for the Shares subject to the Repurchase
Option, to deliver such certificate(s), together with an Assignment Separate
from Certificate in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A executed by
Purchaser and by Purchaser's spouse (if required for transfer), in blank, to the
Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary's designee, to hold such
certificate(s) and Assignment Separate from Certificate in escrow and to take
all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases as are in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that
the Secretary of the Company, or the Secretary's designee, is so appointed as
the escrow holder with the foregoing authorities as a material inducement to
make this Agreement and that said appointment is coupled with an interest and is
accordingly irrevocable. Purchaser agrees that said escrow holder shall not be
liable to any party hereof (or to any other party). The escrow holder may rely
upon any letter, notice or other document executed by any signature purported to
be genuine and may resign at any time. Purchaser agrees that if the Secretary of
the Company, or the Secretary's designee, resigns as escrow holder for any or no
reason, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to appoint a
successor to serve as escrow holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

         5. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.

                  (a) LEGENDS. The certificate or certificates representing the
Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by
applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

                      THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE
TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF
THE COMPANY.

                   (b) STOP-TRANSFER NOTICES. Purchaser agrees that, in order to
ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may
issue appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any,
and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate
notations to the same effect in its own records.

                  (c) REFUSAL TO TRANSFER. The Company shall not be required (i)
to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred
in violation of any of the


                                      -8-
<PAGE>
provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to
accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee
to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

         6. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any
manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company, to terminate Purchaser's employment or consulting
relationship, for any reason, with or without cause.

         7. SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. Purchaser understands that Section 83(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary
income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares and the fair market
value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this
context, "restriction" means the right of the Company to buy back the Shares
pursuant to the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement.
Purchaser understands that Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the
Shares are purchased, rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires, by
filing an election under Section 83(b) (an "83(b) Election") of the Code with
the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of purchase. Even if
the fair market value of the Shares at the time of the execution of this
Agreement equals the amount paid for the Shares, the election must be made to
avoid income under Section 83(a) in the future. Purchaser understands that
failure to file such an election in a timely manner may result in adverse tax
consequences for Purchaser. Purchaser further understands that an additional
copy of such election form should be filed with his or her federal income tax
return for the calendar year in which the date of this Agreement falls.
Purchaser acknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of
United States federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Shares
hereunder, and does not purport to be complete. Purchaser further acknowledges
that the Company has directed Purchaser to seek independent advice regarding the
applicable provisions of the Code, the income tax laws of any municipality,
state or foreign country in which Purchaser may reside, the tax consequences of
Purchaser's death and the decision as to whether or not to file an 83(b)
Election in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.

         Purchaser agrees that he will execute and deliver to the Company with
this executed Agreement a copy of the Acknowledgment and Statement of Decision
Regarding Section 83(b) Election (the "Acknowledgment"), attached hereto as
Exhibit B. Purchaser further agrees that Purchaser will execute and submit with
the Acknowledgment a copy of the 83(b) Election, attached hereto as Exhibit C,
if Purchaser has indicated in the Acknowledgment his or her decision to make
such an election.

         8. MISCELLANEOUS.


            (a) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and all acts and transactions
pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be

subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No
modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights
under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties

held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate
such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a
mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of this
Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii)
the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

            (d) CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement is the result of negotiations
between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective
counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product
of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or
against any one of the parties hereto.

shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or

certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party
to be notified at such party's address or fax number as set forth below or as
subsequently modified by written notice.

            (f) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
