an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the common stock of the
Company through the granting of (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory
Stock Options, (iii) stock bonuses and (iv) rights to purchase restricted stock,
all as defined below.

   (c) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of
persons who are now Employees, Directors or Consultants, to secure and retain
the services of new Employees, Directors and Consultants, and to provide
incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the
Company and its Affiliates.

   (d) The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the Plan shall, in
the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which responsibility for
administration of the Plan has been delegated pursuant to subsection 3(c), be
either (i) Options granted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, including Incentive
Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, or (ii) stock bonuses or rights to

the date of grant.

       (ii) So long as the Company is subject to Section 260.140.41 of Title 10

6. OPTION PROVISIONS.

   Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions
as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate Options need not
be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions
hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the
following provisions:

   (a) TERM. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(c)(i) regarding Ten
Percent Stockholders, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date it was granted.

   (b) PRICE. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(c) regarding Ten Percent
Stockholders, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock
subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Subject to the
provisions of subsection 5(c) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise
price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty-five
percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the
date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be
granted with an exercise price lower than as set forth in the preceding sentence
and Section 5(c) if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or
substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section
424(a) of the Code.

   (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an Option
shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations,
either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii) at the
discretion of the Board or Committee, at the time of the grant of the Option,
(A) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock of the Company, (B)
according to a deferred payment arrangement, except that payment of the Common
Stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law) shall
not be made by deferred payment, or other arrangement (which may include,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other Common Stock
of the Company) with the person to whom the Option is granted or to whom the
Option is transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d), or (C) in any other form of
legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. In the case of any
deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be payable at least annually and
shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the
treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any
amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment
arrangement.

   (d) TRANSFERABILITY.

       (i) TRANSFERABILITY OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION. An Incentive Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom
the Option is granted only by such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
person to whom the Option is granted may, by delivering written notice to the
Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in
the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise
the Option.


                                       7

<PAGE>

       (ii) TRANSFERABILITY OF A NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION. A Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and, to the extent provided in the Option Agreement, to such
further extent as permitted by Section 260.140.41(d) of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, and,
except in the case of a permitted transfer, shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of the person to whom the Option is granted only by such person. If the
Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
the person to whom the Option is granted only by such person. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the person to whom the Option is granted may, by delivering
written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate
a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter
be entitled to exercise the Option.

   (e) VESTING GENERALLY. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to
an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic
installments (that may, but need not, be equal). The Option may be subject to
such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised
(which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem
appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The
provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option provisions
governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may
be exercised.

   (f) MINIMUM VESTING. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6(e), to the
extent that the Company is subject to the following restrictions on vesting
under Section 260.140.41(f) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at
the time of the grant of the Option, then:

       (i) Options granted to an Employee who is not an Officer, Director or
Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number of shares of Common
Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years
from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as
continued employment; and

       (ii) Options granted to Officers, Directors or Consultants may be made
fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued
employment, at any time or during any period established by the Company.

   (g) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP AS A DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT. In
the event an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability), the Optionee
may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it as of the date of termination) but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after the termination of
the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant (or such
longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period, for so
long as the Company is subject to Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations, shall not be less than thirty (30) days unless
such termination is for cause), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, at the date of termination, the
Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares
covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time


                                       8

<PAGE>


specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the shares
covered by such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance
under the Plan.

   (h) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status as
an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee's
disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12)
months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in
the Option Agreement, which period, for so long as the Company is subject to
Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, shall not
be less than six (6) months unless such termination is for cause), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If,
at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her
entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under 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 and again become available for issuance under the
Plan.

   (i) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or
within a period specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of, the
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option
may be exercised (to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option
as of the date of death) by the Optionee's estate, by a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated
to exercise the option upon the Optionee's death pursuant to subsection 6(d),
but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18)
months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified
in the Option Agreement, which period, for so long as the Company is subject to
Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, shall not
be less than six (6) months unless such termination is for cause), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If,
at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise his or her
entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If,
after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

   (j) EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby
the Optionee may elect at any time before the Optionee's Continuous Status
terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common
Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Subject to
the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section 11(g), any unvested shares of Common
Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the
Company, with the repurchase price to be equal to the lower of the Fair Market
Value on the date of repurchase or the original purchase price of the stock, or
to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. Provided that
the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section 11(g) is not violated, the Company will
not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer
or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the
Board otherwise specifically provides in the Option.

<PAGE>


   (k) RIGHT OF REPURCHASE. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section
11(g), the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may
elect to repurchase all or any part of the vested shares of Common Stock
acquired by the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option. Provided that
the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section 11(g) is not violated, the Company will
not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer
or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless
otherwise specifically provided in the Option.

7. TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES AND PURCHASES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

   Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such form
and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or Committee shall deem
appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus or restricted stock
purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions
of separate agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus or restricted
stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions
hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the
following provisions as appropriate:

   (a) PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c) regarding Ten
Percent Stockholders, the purchase price under each stock bonus or restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or Committee shall
determine and designate in such agreement but in no event shall the purchase
price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market Value on
the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or
Committee may determine that eligible participants in the Plan may be awarded
stock pursuant to a stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement in
consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company for its
benefit.

   (b) TRANSFERABILITY. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under a stock
bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall not be transferable except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during
the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.

   (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to a stock
bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash
at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or Committee,
according to a deferred payment or other arrangement with the person to whom the
stock is sold, except that payment of the Common Stock's "par value" (as defined
in the Delaware General Corporation Law) shall not be made by deferred payment;
or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board or Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board
or Committee to which administration of the Plan has been delegated may award
stock pursuant to a stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement in
consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company for its
benefit.

   (d) VESTING. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section 11(g), shares
of stock sold or awarded under the Plan may, but need not, be subject to a
repurchase option in favor of


                                       10

<PAGE>


the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board
or Committee.

   (e) TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.
Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in Section 11(g), in the event a
Participant's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the
shares of stock held by that person which have not vested as of the date of
termination under the terms of the stock bonus or restricted stock purchase
agreement between the Company and such person. Provided that the "Repurchase
Limitation" in Section 11(g) is not violated, the Company will not exercise its
repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter
period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting
purposes) have elapsed following receipt of the stock bonus or restricted stock
unless otherwise specifically provided in the stock bonus or restricted stock
purchase agreement.

8. CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS.

   (a) The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any
time and from time to time (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options under
the Plan and/or (ii) with the consent of the affected holders of Options, the
cancellation of any outstanding Options and the grant in substitution therefor
of new Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of shares
of Common Stock, but having an exercise price per share not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value (one hundred percent (100%)
of the Fair Market Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or, in the
case of a Ten Percent Stockholder, not less than one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value) per share of Common Stock on the new grant
date.

   (b) Shares subject to an Option canceled under this Section 8 shall continue
to be counted against the maximum award of Options permitted to be granted
pursuant to the Plan. The repricing of an Option hereunder resulting in a
reduction of the exercise price, shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the
original Option and the grant of a substitute Option; in the event of such
repricing, both the original and the substituted Options shall be counted
against the maximum awards of Options permitted to be granted pursuant to the
Plan, to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code.

9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

   (a) During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at
all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards.

   (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares under Stock Awards; provided, however, that this
undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act
either the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain
from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for
the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of stock under the
Plan, the Company shall be


                                       11

<PAGE>

relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of
such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

10. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

   Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute
general funds of the Company.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

   (a) The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock
Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part
thereof will vest, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the
time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

   (b) Neither an Employee, Director nor a Consultant nor any person to whom a
Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the Plan shall be deemed to be the
holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares
subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person has satisfied all
requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms.

   (c) Nothing in the Plan nor any instrument executed nor Stock Award granted
pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director, Consultant or Optionee
any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate (or to
continue acting as a Director or Consultant) or shall affect the right of the
Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Employee, with or
without cause, to remove any Director as provided in the Company's By-Laws and
the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or to
terminate the relationship of any Consultant in accordance with the terms of
that Consultant's agreement with the Company or Affiliate to which such
Consultant is providing services.

   (d) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year under
this Plan and all other plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which
exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

   (e) The Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is granted, or
any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the Plan, as
a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give
written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person's knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser
representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and
experienced in financial and business matters, and that he or she is capable of
evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and
risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock
subject to the Stock Award for such person's own account and not with any
present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The foregoing
requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be
inoperative if


                                       12

<PAGE>

(i) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under
the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) as to any particular
requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such
requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable
securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place
legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems
necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws,
including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

   (f) To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the
person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal, state or local
tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock
under a Stock Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such
means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold
shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the participant
as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award; or
(iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the Common
Stock of the Company.

   (g) The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award,
and the repurchase price may be either the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date of termination of Continuous Status or the lower of (i)
the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or
(ii) their original purchase price. To the extent required by Section 260.140.41
and Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the
time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase option contained in a Stock Award
granted to a person who is not an Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon
the terms described below:

       (i) FAIR MARKET VALUE. If the repurchase option gives the Company the
right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous
Status at not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to
be purchased on the date of termination of Continuous Status, then (A) the right
to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money
indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of
termination of Continuous Status (or in the case of shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after such date of termination, within
ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be
agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding
"qualified small business stock") and (B) the right terminates when the shares
of Common Stock become publicly traded.

       (ii) ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE. If the repurchase option gives the Company
the right to repurchase the shares of Common Stock upon termination of
Continuous Status at the lower of (A) the Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (B) their original purchase price,
then (x) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at
the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock per year
over five (5) years from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to
the date the Stock Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (y) the right
to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money
indebtedness for the shares of Common


                                       13

<PAGE>

Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Status (or in the
case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Options after such date
of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such
longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for
example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of
the Code regarding "qualified small business stock").

       (h) To the extent required by Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial statements
to Participants at least annually. This Section 11(h) shall not apply to key
Employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to
equivalent information.

12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

       (a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock
dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the
Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum
number of shares subject to the Plan and the maximum number of shares subject to
award to any person during any calendar year, and the outstanding Stock Awards
will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price
per share of stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. Such adjustments
shall be made by the Board or Committee, the determination of which shall be
final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be treated as a "transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company.")

       (b) In the event of: (1) a dissolution, liquidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation; (3) a reverse merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Common
Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of
the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or
otherwise; or (4) the acquisition by any person, entity or group within the
meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable
successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust,
sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company) of the
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company
representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled
to vote in the election of directors, then to the extent permitted by applicable
law: (i) any surviving corporation (or an Affiliate thereof shall assume any
Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar Stock Awards
for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) such Stock Awards shall continue
in full force and effect. In the event any surviving corporation (or an
Affiliate) refuses to assume or continue such Stock Awards, or to substitute
similar Stock Awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then the Stock Awards
shall be terminated if not exercised prior to such event.

13. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

       (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.
However, except as provided in Section 12 relating to adjustments upon changes
in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of
the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for the Plan to
satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any Nasdaq or
securities exchange listing requirements.

       (b) The Board may in its sole discretion submit any other amendment to
the Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to
the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and
the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based
compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to
certain executive officers.

       (c) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any
respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees,
Directors or Consultants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided
under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder
relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive
Stock Options granted under it into compliance therewith.

       (d) Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted before amendment
of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted
and (ii) such person consents in writing.

       (e) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of
any one or more Stock Award; provided, however, that the rights and obligations
under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted
and (ii) such person consents in writing.

14. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

       (a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless
sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company,
whichever is earlier. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the
Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

       (b) Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan
is in effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan,
except with the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted.

15. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

       This amendment and restatement of the Plan shall become effective on the
effective date of the registration statement with respect to the Company's
initial public offering of shares of Common Stock, but no Stock Awards granted
under the Plan shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by
the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12)
months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
