                                 INFLOW, INC.
                       FORM OF 2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
                       ---------------------------------

                                  Article One

                              GENERAL PROVISIONS
                              ------------------

  I.  PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

      This 2000 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to promote the interests of
Inflow, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons with the
opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their
proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in
the service of the Corporation.

      Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
attached Appendix.

  II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
      A.  The Plan shall be divided into five separate equity incentive
  programs:
                (i)    the Discretionary Option Grant Program under which
  eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted
  options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

                (ii)   the Salary Investment Option Grant Program under which
  eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their base salary invested
  each year in special options,

                (iii)  the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons
  may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common
  Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a
  bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary),

                (iv)   the Automatic Option Grant Program under which eligible
  non-employee Board members shall automatically receive options at periodic
  intervals to purchase shares of Common Stock, and

                (v)    the Director Fee Option Grant Program under which
  non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any portion of their
  annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special option
  grant.

      B.  The provisions of Articles One and Seven shall apply to all equity
  programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under
  the Plan.
<PAGE>

     III.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

           A.  Prior to the Section 12 Registration Date, the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs shall be administered by the Board
unless otherwise determined by the Board. The following provisions shall
govern the administration of the Plan:

              (i)    The Board shall have the authority to administer the
     Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to
     Section 16 Insiders but may delegate such authority in whole or in part to
     the Primary Committee.

              (ii)   Administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock
     Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate
     in those programs may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in the Primary
     Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power to
     administer those programs with respect to all such persons.

              (iii)  The Board (or Primary Committee) shall select the Section
     16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees eligible to participate
     in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program. However, all option grants
     under the Salary Investment Option Grant Program shall be made in
     accordance with the terms of that program and the Plan Administrator shall
     not exercise any administrative discretion with respect to option grants
     made under the program.

              (iv)   Administration of the Automatic Option Grant and Director
     Fee Option Grant Programs shall be self-executing in accordance with the
     terms of those programs.

           B.  Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
     administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full power and authority
     subject to the provisions of the Plan:

              (i)    to establish such rules as it may deem appropriate for
     proper administration of the Plan, to make all factual determinations, to
     construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan and the awards thereunder
     and to resolve any and all ambiguities thereunder;

              (ii)   to determine, with respect to awards made under the
     Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs, which eligible
     persons are to receive such awards, the time or times when such awards are
     to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such award, the
     vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the award, the status of a granted
     option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option and the
     maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding;

              (iii)  to amend, modify or cancel any outstanding award with the
     consent of the holder or accelerate the vesting of such award; and

              (iv)   to take such other discretionary actions as permitted
     pursuant to the terms of the applicable program.

                                       2
<PAGE>

Decisions of each Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative
functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties.

        C.  Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary Committee shall
serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by
the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of
any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously
delegated to such committee.

        D.  Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall
constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such committee shall
accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board
members for their service on such committee. No member of the Primary Committee
or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or any options or stock issuances under the Plan.

   IV.  ELIGIBILITY

        A.  The persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary Option
Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows:

              (i)    Employees,

              (ii)   non-employee members of the Board or the board of
   directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and

              (iii)  consultants and other independent advisors who provide
   services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

        B.  Only Employees who are Section 16 Insiders or other highly
compensated individuals shall be eligible to participate in the Salary
Investment Option Grant Program.

        C.  Only non-employee Board members shall be eligible to participate
in the Automatic Option Grant and Di rector Fee Option Grant Programs.

   V.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        A.  The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the
Corporation on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall not exceed
___________________ (____________) shares. Such reserve shall consist of (i) the
number of shares estimated to remain available for issuance, as of the Plan
Effective Date, under the Predecessor Plan, including the shares subject to the
outstanding options to be incorporated into the Plan and the additional shares
which would otherwise be available for future grant, plus (ii) an increase of
___________________ (____________) shares authorized by the Board subject to
stockholder approval prior to the Section 12 Registration Date.

                                       3
<PAGE>

        B.  The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
   the Plan shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January
   each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with the calendar
   year 2001, by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the total number of
   shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day in December of the
   immediately preceding calendar year, but in no event shall such annual
   increase exceed one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares.

        C.  No one person participating in the Plan may receive options,
   separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances
   for more than nine hundred fifty thousand (950,000) shares of Common Stock in
   the aggregate per calendar year.

        D.  Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including
   options incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan) shall be
   available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those options
   expire, terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to exercise in full.
   Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the
   Corporation, at the original exercise or issue price paid per share, pursuant
   to the Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to
   the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and
   shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent
   options or direct stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the
   exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common
   Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be
   withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred
   in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock
   issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available
   for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares
   for which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and
   not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such
   option or stock issuance. Shares of Common Stock underlying one or more stock
   appreciation rights exercised under the Plan shall not be available for
   subsequent issuance.

        E.  If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
   split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
   shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class
   without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments
   shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable
   under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities by which the share
   reserve is to increase each calendar year pursuant to the automatic share
   increase provisions of the Plan, (iii) the number and/or class of securities
   for which any one person may be granted options, separately exercisable stock
   appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan per calendar
   year, (iv) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are
   subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and
   continuing non-employee Board members, (v) the number and/or class of
   securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding
   option under the Plan and (vi) the number and/or class of securities and
   price per share in effect under each outstanding option incorporated into
   this Plan from the Predecessor Plan. Such adjustments to the outstanding
   options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement
   or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments
   determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.

                                  Article Two

                       DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM
                       ----------------------------------

      I.  OPTION TERMS

          Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form
approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document
shall comply with the terms specified below.  Each document evidencing an
Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan
applicable to such options.

          A.  Exercise Price.

              1.  The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator at the time of the option grant and may be less than, equal to or
greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant
date.

              2.  The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise
of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section II of Article
Seven and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the
following forms:

                  (i)    in cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

                  (ii)   shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period
      necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial
      reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date,
      or

                  (iii)  to the extent the option is exercised for vested
      shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which
      the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions to (a) a
      Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the
      purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
      available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
      exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable
      Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be
      withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) the
      Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly
      to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

          Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized,
payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the
Exercise Date.

          B.  Exercise and Term of Options.  Each option shall be exercisable at
such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing
the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years
measured from the option grant date.

                                       5
<PAGE>

          C.  Cessation of Service.

              1.  The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any
options outstanding at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service or death:

                  (i)    Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee's
     cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable for such
     period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator
     and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but no such option
     shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option term.

                  (ii)   Any option exercisable in whole or in part by the
     Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently exercised by his or her
     Beneficiary.

                  (iii)  During the applicable post-Service exercise period,
the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of
vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's
cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or
(if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not
been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's
cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent the
option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for vested shares.

                  (iv)    Should the Optionee's Service be terminated for
     Misconduct or should the Optionee engage in Misconduct while his or her
     options are outstanding, then all such options shall terminate immediately
     and cease to be outstanding.

              2.  The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion,
exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the
option remains outstanding:

                  (i)   to extend the period of time for which the option is
     to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service to such
     period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no
     event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or

                  (ii)  to permit the option to be exercised, during the
     applicable post-Service exercise period, for one or more additional
     installments in which the Optionee would have vested had the Optionee
     continued in Service.

          D.  Stockholder Rights.  The holder of an option shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such
person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.

          E.  Repurchase Rights.  The Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common
Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the
Corporation shall have the right to

                                       6
<PAGE>

repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested
shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable
(including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting
schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.

          F.  Limited Transferability of Options.  During the lifetime of the
Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall
not be assignable or transferable other than to a Beneficiary following the
Optionee's death. Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same
restrictions, except that a Non-Statutory Option may, to the extent permitted by
the Plan Administrator, be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's
lifetime (i) as a gift to one or more members of the Optionee's immediate
family, to a trust in which Optionee and/or one or more such family members hold
more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest or to an entity in
which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by one or
more such family members or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order. The
terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect
for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in
such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate.

     II.  INCENTIVE OPTIONS

          The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive
Options.  Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the
provisions of Articles One, Two and Six shall be applicable to Incentive
Options.  Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options
when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.

          A.  Eligibility.  Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.

          B.  Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share shall not be less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the option grant date.

          C.  Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market Value of the
shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant)
for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any
other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the
first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year
shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the
extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable
for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

          D.  10% Stockholder.  If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is
granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five
(5) years measured from the option grant date.

                                       7
<PAGE>

    III.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

          A.  Each option outstanding at the time of a Change in Control but not
otherwise fully-vested shall automatically accelerate so that each such option
shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become
exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that
option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested
shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall not so accelerate
if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Change in
Control, assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in
Control, (ii) such option is replaced with a cash incentive program of the
successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the
Change in Control on the shares of Common Stock for which the option is not
otherwise at that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout in
accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or
(iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by
the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. Each option outstanding
at the time of the Change in Control shall terminate as provided in Section
III.C. of this Article Two.

          B.  All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate
automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights
shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control, except to
the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continue in full force and effect
pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control or (ii) such accelerated vesting
is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time
the repurchase right is issued.

          C.  Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control,
all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to
the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise
expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change
in Control.

          D.  Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in
Control shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in
Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been
issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the
option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate
adjustments to reflect such Change in Control shall also be made to (i) the
exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the
aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same, (ii)
the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the
remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or class of
securities for which any one person may be granted options, separately
exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the Plan
per calendar year. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation's
outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in
consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in
connection with the assumption of the outstanding options, substitute one or
more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the
cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control.

                                       8
<PAGE>

          E.  The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one or more
options will automatically accelerate in connection with a Change in Control,
whether or not those options are assumed or otherwise continued in full force
and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control. Any such option shall
accordingly become exercisable, immediately prior to the effective date of such
Change in Control, for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested
shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator may at any time
provide that one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights shall not be
assignable in connection with such Change in Control and shall terminate upon
the consummation of such Change in Control.

          F.  The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one or more
options will automatically accelerate upon an Involuntary Termination of the
Optionee's Service within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18)
months) following the effective date of any Change in Control in which those
options do not otherwise accelerate. Any options so accelerated shall remain
exercisable for fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of
the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1) year period measured from
the effective date of the Involuntary Termination. In addition, the Plan
Administrator may at any time provide that one or more of the Corporation's
repurchase rights shall immediately terminate upon such Involuntary Termination.

          G.  The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one or more
options will automatically accelerate in connection with a Hostile Take-Over.
Any such option shall become exercisable, immediately prior to the effective
date of such Hostile Take-Over, for all of the shares of Common Stock at the
time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares
as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan Administrator may
at any time provide that one or more of the Corporation's repurchase rights
shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of such Hostile Take-Over.
Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may condition such automatic acceleration
and termination upon an Involuntary Termination of the Optionee's Service within
a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of such Hostile Take-Over. Each option so accelerated shall remain
exercisable for fully-vested shares until the expiration or sooner termination
of the option term.

          H.  The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with
a Change in Control or Hostile Take Over shall remain exercisable as an
Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar
($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is
exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-
Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

     IV.  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

          The Plan Administrator may, subject to such conditions as it may
determine, grant to selected Optionees stock appreciation rights which will
allow the holders of those rights to elect between the exercise of the
underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option in
exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
excess of (a) the Option Surrender Value of the number of shares for which the
option is surrendered over (b) the aggregate exercise price payable for such
shares.  The distribution may

                                       9
<PAGE>

be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option
surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Plan
Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                    SALARY INVESTMENT OPTION GRANT PROGRAM
                    --------------------------------------

      I.  OPTION GRANTS

          The Primary Committee may implement the Salary Investment Option Grant
Program for one or more calendar years beginning after the Plan Effective Date
and select the Section 16 Insiders and other highly compensated Employees
eligible to participate in the Salary Investment Option Grant Program for each
such calendar year. Each selected individual who elects to participate in the
Salary Investment Option Grant Program must, prior to the start of each calendar
year of participation, file with the Plan Administrator (or its designate) an
irrevocable authorization directing the Corporation to reduce his or her base
salary for that calendar year by an amount not less than five thousand Dollars
($5,000) nor more than seventy five thousand Dollars ($75,000). Each individual
who files such a timely election shall be granted an option under the Salary
Investment Grant Program on the first trading day in January for the calendar
year for which the salary reduction is to be in effect.

      II. OPTION TERMS

          Each option shall be a Non-Statutory Option evidenced by one or more
documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however,
that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below.

          A.  Exercise Price.

              1.  The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-
third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the option grant date.

              2.  The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise
of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms
authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent
the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of
the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

          B.  Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula
(rounded down to the nearest whole number):

              X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

              X is the number of option shares,

              A is the dollar amount of the approved reduction in the Optionee's
          base salary for the calendar year, and

                                       11
<PAGE>

               B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
           option grant date.

           C.  Exercise and Term of Options.  The option shall become
exercisable in a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments
upon the Optionee's completion of each calendar month of Service in the calendar
year for which the salary reduction is in effect. Each option shall have a
maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

           D.  Cessation of Service.  Each option outstanding at the time of
the Optionee's cessation of Service shall remain exercisable, for any or all of
the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of
Service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term or (ii) the
expiration of the three (3)-year period following the Optionee's cessation of
Service. To the extent the option is held by the Optionee at the time of his or
her death, the option may be exercised by his or her Beneficiary. However, the
option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Service, terminate
and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common
Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

     III.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

           A.  In the event of any Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over while
the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option shall automatically
accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective
date of the Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over, become fully exercisable
with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject
to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-
vested shares of Common Stock. Each such option accelerated in connection with a
Change in Control shall terminate upon the Change in Control, except to the
extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise
continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in
Control. Each such option accelerated in connection with a Hostile Take-Over
shall remain exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the
option term.

           B.  Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in
Control shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to the number and class of
securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of
such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such
Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise
price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate
exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent
the actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash
consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control,
the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the
outstanding options, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with
a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of
Common Stock in such Change in Control.

           C.  Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall
have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of
his or her outstanding options. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a
cash distribution from the Corporation in an


                                       12
<PAGE>

amount equal to the excess of (i) the Option Surrender Value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the
Optionee is otherwise at the time vested in those shares) over (ii) the
aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall
be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the
Corporation.

     IV.  REMAINING TERMS

          The remaining terms of each option granted under the Salary Investment
Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for options made
under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                            STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM
                            ----------------------

      I.  STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

          Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program
through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening options.  Shares
of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to
share right awards which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the
attainment of designated performance goals or Service requirements.  Each such
award shall be evidenced by one or more documents which comply with the terms
specified below.

          A.  Purchase Price.

              1.  The purchase price per share of Common Stock subject to
direct issuance shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator and may be less than,
equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
issue date.

              2.  Subject to the provisions of Section II of Article Seven,
shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of
the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate in each individual instance:

                  (i)   cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or

                  (ii)  past services rendered to the Corporation (or any
      Parent or Subsidiary).

          B.  Vesting/Issuance Provisions.

              1.  The Plan Administrator may issue shares of Common Stock which
are fully and immediately vested upon issuance or which are to vest in one or
more installments over the Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of
specified performance objectives. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator may
issue share right awards which shall entitle the recipient to receive a
specified number of vested shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of one or
more performance goals or Service requirements established by the Plan
Administrator.

              2.  Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the
Participant may have the right to receive with respect to his or her unvested
shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change
affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's
receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting
requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock and
(ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.



                                       14
<PAGE>

          3.  The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect
to the issued shares of Common Stock, whether or not the Participant's interest
in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to
vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

          4.  Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding
one or more unvested shares of Common Stock, or should the performance
objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of
Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the
Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further
stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered
shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash
or cash equivalent (including the Participant's purchase-money indebtedness),
the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for
the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any
outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to the
surrendered shares.

          5.  The Plan Administrator may waive the surrender and cancellation
of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable
thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant's
Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those
shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant's
interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such
waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant's
cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable
performance objectives.

          6.  Outstanding share right awards shall automatically terminate, and
no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those
awards, if the performance goals or Service requirements established for such
awards are not attained. The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the
authority to issue shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of one or more
outstanding share right awards as to which the designated performance goals or
Service requirements are not attained.

     II.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

          A.  All of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights shall
terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in
Control, except to the extent (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continue in full force
and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control or (ii) such
accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

          B.  The Plan Administrator may at any time provide for the automatic
termination of one or more of those outstanding repurchase rights and the
immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights upon (i) a Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over or (ii) an Involuntary
Termination of the Participant's Service within a designated period (not to
exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any


                                       15
<PAGE>

Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over in which those repurchase rights are
assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continue
in full force and effect.

      III.  SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

            Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be held
in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such shares
vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on
the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

        A.  Grant Dates.  Options shall be made on the dates specified below:

            1.  Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-
employee Board member at any time after the Plan Effective Date shall
automatically be granted, on the date of such initial election or appointment, a
Non-Statutory Option to purchase fifteen thousand (15,000) shares of Common
Stock, provided that individual has not previously been in the employ of the
Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

            2.  On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting beginning with
the 2001 Annual Stockholder Meeting, each individual who is to continue to serve
as a non-employee Board member shall automatically be granted a Non-Statutory
Option to purchase five thousand (5,000) shares of Common Stock, provided that
individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six (6)
months.

        B.  Exercise Price.

            1.  The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option
grant date.

            2.  The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of the
alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.
Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on
the Exercise Date.

        C.  Option Term. Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the option grant date.

        D.  Exercise and Vesting of Options.  Each option shall be immediately
exercisable for any or all of the option shares.  However, any unvested shares
purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the Corporation, at
the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee's cessation of Board
service prior to vesting in those shares. Each option shall vest, and the
Corporation's repurchase right shall lapse upon the Optionee's completion of one
(1) year of Board service measured from the option grant date.

                                       17
<PAGE>

        E.  Cessation of Board Service. The following provisions shall govern
the exercise of any options outstanding at the time of the Optionee's cessation
of Board service:

                (i)   Any option outstanding at the time of the Optionee's
     cessation of Board service for any reason shall remain exercisable for a
     twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of Board
     service, but in no event shall such option be exercisable after the
     expiration of the option term.

                (ii)  Any option exercisable in whole or in part by the Optionee
     at the time of death may be subsequently exercised by his or her
     Beneficiary.

                (iii) Following the Optionee's cessation of Board service, the
     option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of
     shares for which the option was exercisable on the date of such cessation
     of Board service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or
     (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall
     terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the
     option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon
     the Optionee's cessation of Board service, terminate and cease to be
     outstanding for any and all shares for which the option is not otherwise at
     that time exercisable.

                (iv)  However, should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board
     member by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the
     time subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may,
     during the twelve (12)-month exercise period following such cessation of
     Board service, be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as
     fully-vested shares of Common Stock.

II.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

        A.  In the event of any Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over, the
shares of Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option may,
immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control or Hostile
Take-Over, became fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the
time subject to such option and maybe exercised for all or any of those shares
as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. Each such option accelerated in
connection with a Change in Control shall terminate upon the Change in Control,
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change
in Control. Each such option accelerated in connection with a Hostile Take-Over
shall remain exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the
option term.

        B.  All outstanding repurchase rights shall automatically terminate and
the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately
vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over.

        C.  Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have
a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of his or
her outstanding options. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash
distribution from the Corporation in an

                                       18
<PAGE>

amount equal to the excess of (i) the Option Surrender Value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the
option is otherwise at the time exercisable for those shares) over (ii) the
aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall
be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the
Corporation.

        D.  Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control
shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to the number and class of securities
which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in
Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in
Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise price
payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise
price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the
actual holders of the Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash
consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control,
the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the
outstanding options, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with
a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of
Common Stock in such Change in Control.

  III.  REMAINING TERMS

        The remaining terms of each option granted under the Automatic Option
Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for options made under
the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                       ---------------------------------

      I.  OPTION GRANTS

          The Board may implement the Director Fee Option Grant Program as of
the first day of any calendar years beginning after the Underwriting Date.  Upon
such implementation of the Program, each non-employee Board member may elect to
apply all or any portion of the annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash
for his or her service on the Board to the acquisition of a special option grant
under this Director Fee Option Grant Program.  Such election must be filed with
the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer prior to the first day of the calendar
year for which the election is to be in effect.  Each non-employee Board member
who files such a timely election with respect to the annul retainer fee shall
automatically be granted an option under this Director Fee Option Grant Program
on the first trading day in January in the calendar year for which that fee
would otherwise be payable.

     II.  OPTION TERMS

          Each option shall be a Non-Statutory Option governed by the terms and
conditions specified below.

          A.  Exercise Price.

              1.  The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-
third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the option grant date.

              2.  The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise
of the option and shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms
authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program. Except to the extent
the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of
the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

          B.  Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the following formula
(rounded down to the nearest whole number):

              X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

              X is the number of option shares,

              A is the portion of the annual retainer fee subject to the non-
          employee Board member's election, and

              B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option
          grant date.

                                       20
<PAGE>

        C.  Exercise and Term of Options. The option shall become exercisable in
a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments upon the
Optionee's completion of each month of Board service during the calendar year in
which the option is granted. Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10)
years measured from the option grant date.

        D.  Cessation of Board Service. Should the Optionee cease Board service
for any reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while holding one or
more options, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of
the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of
Board service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year
option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from
the date of such cessation of Board service. However, each option held by the
Optionee at the time of such cessation of Board service shall immediately
terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any and all shares of
Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

        E.  Death or Permanent Disability. Should the Optionee's service as a
Board member cease by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then each option
held by such Optionee shall immediately become exercisable for all the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to that option, and the option may be exercised
for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i)
the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the
three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service.

        Should the Optionee die after cessation of Board service but while
holding one or more options, then each such option may be exercised, for any or
all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the
Optionee's cessation of Board service (less any shares subsequently purchased by
Optionee prior to death), by the Optionee's Beneficiary. Such right of exercise
shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the three (3)-year period
measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board service.

  III.  CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

        A.  In the event of any Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over while the
Optionee remains in Board service, each outstanding option held by such Optionee
shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior
to the effective date of the Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over, become
fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock at
the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those
shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  Each such option accelerated in
connection with a Change in Control shall terminate upon the Change in Control,
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of
the Change in Control.  Each such option accelerated in connection with a
Hostile Take-Over shall remain exercisable until the expiration or sooner
termination of the option term.

        B.  Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have
a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of his or
her outstanding options. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a cash
distribution from the Corporation in an

                                       21
<PAGE>

amount equal to the excess of (i) the Option Surrender Value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to each surrendered option (whether or not the
Optionee is otherwise at the time vested in those shares) over (ii) the
aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall
be paid within five (5) days following the surrender of the option to the
Corporation.

        C.  Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control
shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to
apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to
the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been
exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments
shall also be made to the exercise price payable per share under each
outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the
Corporation's outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their
Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation
may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under the
Director Fee Option Grant Program, substitute one or more shares of its own
common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid
per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control.

   IV.  REMAINING TERMS

        The remaining terms of each option granted under this Director Fee
Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for options made
under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                                 -------------

      I.  NO IMPAIRMENT OF AUTHORITY

          Outstanding awards shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation
to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all
or any part of its business or assets.

     II.  FINANCING

          The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay
the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program or the
purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a
full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or more
installments.  The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest
rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator
in its sole discretion.  In no event may the maximum credit available to the
Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise
price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of
such shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the
option exercise or share purchase.

   III.  TAX WITHHOLDING

         A.  The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such shares under the Plan
shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local
income and employment tax withholding requirements.

         B.  The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all
holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock under the
Plan with the right to use shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of all or part
of the Withholding Taxes incurred by such holders in connection with the
exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right may be
provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:

   IV.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

        A.  The Plan was adopted by the Board on _______, 2000. The Plan shall
become effective immediately upon the Plan Effective Date. However, the Salary
Investment Option Grant and Director Fee Option Grant Programs shall not be
implemented until such time as the Primary Committee or the Board may deem
appropriate. Options may be granted under the Discretionary Option Grant Program
at any time on or after the Plan Effective Date. However, no options granted
under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan,
until the Plan is approved by the Corporation's stockholders. If such
stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the Plan
Effective Date, then all options previously granted under this Plan shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted
and no shares shall be issued under the Plan.

        B.  The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan, and
no further options or direct stock issuances shall be made under the Predecessor
Plan after the Plan Effective Date. All options outstanding under the
Predecessor Plan on the Plan Effective Date shall be incorporated into the Plan
at that time and shall be treated as outstanding options under the Plan.
However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue to be governed
solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and no provision of
the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations
of the holders of such incorporated options with respect to their acquisition of
shares of Common Stock.

        C.  One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation)
the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Changes in
Control, may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be extended to one or more
options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan which do not otherwise contain
such provisions.

        D.  The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) March 31, 2010,
(ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall
have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all
outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control. Upon such plan
termination, all outstanding options and unvested stock issuances shall
thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions
of the documents evidencing such grants or issuances.

    V.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

        A.  The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to
amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or
modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to
stock options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan
unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or
modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval
pursuant to applicable laws or regulations.

        B.  Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the
Discretionary Option Grant and Salary Investment Option Grant Programs and
shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are
in each instance in
                                       24
<PAGE>

excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan,
provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in
escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months
after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any
unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to
the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any
excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest
(at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held
in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease
to be outstanding.

     VI.  USE OF PROCEEDS

          Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares
of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

    VII.  REGULATORY APPROVALS

          A.  The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any stock option
under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i) upon the
exercise of any granted option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be
subject to the Corporation's procurement of all approvals and permits required
by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the stock options
granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it.

          B.  No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or
delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with
all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws, including the
filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares
of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all applicable listing requirements
of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which
Common Stock is then listed for trading.

   VIII.  NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

          Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant
any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or
interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation
(or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the
Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each,
to terminate such person's Service at any time for any reason, with or without
cause.
