shall immediately vest on the Vesting Commencement Date

         TERMINATION PERIOD: This Option may be exercised for 90 days after

as provided above.


3.0      GRANT OF OPTION

         3.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and of this
Agreement, the Plan Administrators of the Company grant to the Optionee named
above an option ("Option") to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth above
in Section 2.0 entitled "Notice of Grant", at the exercise price per share set

                                       2

4.0      EXERCISE OF OPTION

         4.1 Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth above in the Notice of Grant and
the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

         4.2 Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an
exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A ("Exercise Notice"), which
shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect
of which the Option is being exercised ("Exercised Shares"), and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee
and delivered to the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option
shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the fully
executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.
5.0      COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW

         5.1 No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless such issuance and exercise complies with applicable state or federal law,
including securities laws, corporate laws, the Code or any stock exchange or
quotation system. If the Plan Administrators at any time determine that
registration or qualification of the Shares or the Option under state or federal
law, or the consent approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable, then the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, until such
registration, qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Plan Administrators.
Assuming compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be
considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with
respect to such Exercised Shares.

         5.2 If required by the Company at the time of any exercise of the
Option in order to comply with federal or state securities laws, as a condition
to such exercise, the Employee shall enter into an agreement with the Company in
form satisfactory to counsel for the Company by which the Employee: (i) shall
represent that the Shares are being acquired for the Employee's own account for
investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any resale or
distribution of such Shares; and, (ii) shall agree that if the Employee should
decide to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any such Shares, the Employee
may do so only if the Shares are registered under the Securities Act and the
relevant state securities law, unless, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, such registration is not required, or the transfer is pursuant to the
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144.

6.0      METHOD OF PAYMENT

         6.1 Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

         (a) cash;

         (b) certified or cashier's check;

         (c) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise
program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

         (d) with the Plan Administrator's consent, surrender of other Shares
which (i) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and
(ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares; or

         (e) with the Plan Administrator's consent, delivery of Optionee's
promissory note (the "Note") in the form approved by Plan Administrators, in the
amount of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares together with the
execution and delivery by the Optionee of a Security Agreement in the form
approved by Plan Administrators. The Note shall bear interest at the "applicable
federal rate" prescribed under the Code and its regulations at time of purchase,
and shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares purchased by the Note pursuant to
the Security Agreement.

7.0      NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION

         7.1 This 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 the Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this
Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of Optionee.

8.0      TERM OF OPTION

         8.1 This Option may be exercised only within the term set forth above
in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during that term only in accordance
with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

9.0      TAX CONSEQUENCES

         Some of the federal tax consequences relating to this Option, as of the
date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS SUMMARY IS INCOMPLETE, AND THE
TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A
TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

         9.1      Exercising the Option.

         9.1.1 Nonqualified Stock Option. The Optionee may incur regular federal
income tax liability upon exercise of a NQO. The 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 Exercised Shares on the
date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an
Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from his
or her compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing
authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation income
at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to
deliver Shares if these withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of
exercise.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         9.1.2 Incentive Stock Option. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, the
Optionee will have no regular federal income tax liability upon its exercise,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Exercised Shares on
the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price will be treated as an
adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income for federal tax purposes and
may subject the Optionee to alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise. In
the event that the Optionee ceases to be an Employee but remains a Service
Provider, any Incentive Stock Option of the Optionee that remains unexercised
shall cease to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax
purposes as a Nonqualified Stock Option on the date three (3) months and one (1)
day following this change of status.

         9.2      Disposition of Shares.

         9.2.1 NQO. If the Optionee holds NQO Shares for at least one year,
except for that portion treated as compensation income at the time of exercise,
any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term
capital gain for federal income tax purposes.


         9.2.2 ISO. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one year after
exercise and two years after the grant date, any gain realized on disposition of
the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax
purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shares within one year after exercise
or two years after the grant date, any gain realized on such disposition will be
treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent
of the excess, if any, of the lesser of (i) the difference between the Fair
Market Value of the Shares acquired on the date of exercise and the aggregate
Exercise Price, or (ii) the difference between the sale price of such Shares and
the aggregate Exercise Price. Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain,
short-term or long-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

         9.3 Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Optionee
sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to an ISO on
or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or (ii) one year
after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in
writing of the disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or she may be subject to
income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized from
such early disposition of ISO Shares by payment in cash or out of the current
earnings paid to the Optionee.


10.0     SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

         10.1 Optionee acknowledges and agrees that whatever period determined
appropriate by the Company, underwriter, or federal and state regulatory
officials including, but not limited to, the Securities and Exchange Commission,
National Association of Securities Dealers and NASDAQ, following the effective
date of a registration statement of the Company covering common stock (or other
securities) of the Company to be sold on its behalf in an underwriting, Optionee
will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who
agree to be similarly bound) Shares of the Company held by Optionee at any time
during such period except securities included in that registration.

<PAGE>   6


         10.2 Optionee acknowledges and agrees that if for purposes of a
registration statement of the Company the underwriter or federal or state
regulatory officials fix a specific Common Stock or Option lockup period, such
fixed lockup period shall apply to Optionee under this Agreement.


11.0     NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE

         11.1 Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of shares
pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in this Agreement is earned only by
continuing as a Service Provider at the will of the Company, and not through the
act of being hired, being granted an option or purchasing shares under this
Agreement. Optionee further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated and the vesting schedule set forth in it do not
constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as a Service
Provider for the vesting period, for any period, or at all, and shall not
interfere with Optionee's right or the Company's right to terminate Optionee's
relationship as a Service Provider at any time, with or without cause.
