     1.   Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are to attract and
retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility,
to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants and to
promote the success of the Company's business. Options granted under the Plan
may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options, as determined by
the Administrator at the time of grant.

13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company

of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately

the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other
source as the Administrator deems reliable;

               (ii)   If the Ordinary Shares are regularly quoted by a
recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair
Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the
Ordinary Shares on the day of determination; or

               (iii)  In the absence of an established market for the Ordinary
Shares, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the

     3.   Shares Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of
the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to option
and sold under the Plan is 25,000,000 Shares.

          If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without having been
exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall
become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has
terminated). However, Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan, upon
exercise of an Option, shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become
available for future distribution under the Plan, except that if restricted
Shares issued pursuant to an Option are repurchased by the Company at their
original purchase price, such Shares shall become available for future grant
under the Plan.

     4.   Administration of the Plan.

          (a)  Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply
with Applicable Laws.

          (b)  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, the
Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

               (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;

               (ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options may from
time to time be granted hereunder;

               (iii)  to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each
such Option granted hereunder;

               (iv)   to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

               (v)    to determine the terms and conditions of any Option
granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to,
the exercise price, the time or times when Options may be exercised (which may
be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option
or the Ordinary Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as
the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

               (vi)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;

               (vii)  to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to
the minimum amount required to be withheld. 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. All elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld
for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

               (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Options granted pursuant to the Plan.

          (c)  Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations
and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all
Optionees.

     5.   Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Service
Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

     6.   Limitations.

          (a)  Incentive Stock Option Limit. Each Option shall be designated in
the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For
purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time
the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

          (b)  At-Will Employment. Neither the Plan nor any Option shall confer
upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
of the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the
right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to terminate
such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without
notice.

     7.   Term of Plan. Subject to shareholder approval in accordance with
Section 18, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board.
Unless sooner terminated under Section 14, it shall continue in effect for a
term of ten (10) years from the later of (i) the effective date of the Plan, or
(ii) the date of the most recent Board approval of an increase in the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

     8.   Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns shares representing
more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of shares of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5)
years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the
Option Agreement.

     9.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

          (a)  Exercise Price. Subject to Section 9(b) below, the per share
exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be
such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the
following:

               (i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                      (A)  granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of
such Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
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

                      (A)  granted to a Service Provider who, at the time of
grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of
the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the 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 Service Provider, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

               (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 or as the Administrator determines in its sole
discretion; provided, however,  that grants to residents in California shall be
subject to the provisions set forth in Section 9(a) above.

          (b)  Forms of Consideration. 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). Such consideration may
consist of, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4)
other Shares, provided Shares acquired directly from the Company (x) have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, 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)
consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program
implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination
of the foregoing methods of payment. 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may permit an Optionee to
exercise his or her Option by delivery of a full-recourse promissory note
secured by the purchased Shares. The terms of such promissory note shall be
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

     10.  Exercise of Option.

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such
times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and as set
forth in the Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options granted
to employees resident in California, who are not officers, Directors or
Consultants, shall become exercisable at a rate of no less than 20% per year
over five (5) years from the date the Options are granted. Unless the
Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder to
officers and Directors shall be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. An
Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares thereafter 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.

                                       -6-

<PAGE>

          (b)  Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee
ceases to be a Service Provider, other than because of death or disability, such
Optionee may exercise his or her Option within thirty (30) days of termination,
or such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the
extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his
or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of
time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent the Option is vested on
the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term
of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.
If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following Optionee's death, or
such longer period of time as specified in the Option Agreement, to the extent
that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) by
the Optionee's designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been
designated prior to Optionee's death in a form acceptable to the Administrator.
If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Optionee, then such Option may
be exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the
person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or
in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. If, at the time of
death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares
covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the
Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

     11.  Limited Transferability of Options. Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee. If the Administrator in its sole discretion
makes an Option transferable, such Option may only be transferred by (i) will,
(ii) the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) instrument to an inter vivos or
testamentary trust in which the Option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the
death of the Optionee, or (iv) gift to a member of Optionee's immediate family
(as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act). In addition, any
transferable Option shall contain additional terms and conditions as the
Administrator deems appropriate.

     12.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Change in
Control.

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number and type of Shares which have been
authorized for issuance under the

                                       -7-

<PAGE>

Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, and the
number and type of Shares covered by each outstanding Option, as well as the
price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or type of
issued Shares resulting from a share split, reverse share split, share dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, or any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Ordinary Shares effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company. The 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 Board, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment
by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number, type or price of
Shares subject to an Option.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to
such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including
Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition,
the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such
Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time
and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action.

          (c)  Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, each
outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
If, in such event, the Option is not assumed or substituted, the Optionee shall
fully vest in and have the right to exercise this Option as to all of the Shares
subject to the Option, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be
vested or exercisable. If the Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in
lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or Change in
Control, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or
electronically that the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of
fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate
upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in
Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share
subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the
consideration (whether shares, cash, or other securities or property) received
in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Ordinary Shares for each such
Ordinary Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders
were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control 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 the exercise of the Option, for each Share subject to the
Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent
equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of
Shares in the merger or Change in Control.

                                       -8-

<PAGE>

     13.  Time of Granting Options. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such later date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     14.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

          (a)  Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

          (b)  Shareholder Approval. The Board shall obtain shareholder approval
of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
Applicable Laws.

          (c)  Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.
Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise
the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the
Plan prior to the date of such termination.

     15.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

          (a)  Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          (b)  Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option 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.

     16.  Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

     17.  Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     18.  Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the
shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is
adopted by the Board. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree
and manner required under Applicable Laws.

                                       -9-

<PAGE>

     19.  Information to Optionees. The Company shall provide to each Optionee
and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, not less
frequently than annually during the period such Optionee has one or more Options
outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to
the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of annual
financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide such
