                (i)     "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence, without your
written consent, of any of the following events or circumstances: (A) a
reduction in your annual base salary or bonus opportunity as in effect on the

residence immediately prior to the Change in Control Effective Date and (y) more
than 20 miles from the location at which you performed your principal duties for
the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control Effective Date; or (C) a
requirement by the Company that you travel on Company business for more than 10
business days per month for three consecutive months, or (D) a failure by the
Company to provide you with an executive title, such as vice-president, general
manager, senior director of a corporate function or chief officer of a corporate
function. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such
occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason if, prior to the
effective date of such, such event or circumstance has been fully corrected and
you have been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting
therefrom.

                (ii)    "Change in Control" shall mean an event or occurrence
set forth in any one or more of subsections (A) and (B) below (including an

                        (A)     the acquisition by an individual, entity or
group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (a "Person") of
beneficial ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such
acquisition, such Person beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) 50% or more of the combined voting power of
the then-outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities"); provided,

underwriter or agent of the Company), (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii)
any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any corporation controlled by the Company, (iv) any
acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which results in a
Continuity of Interest as defined in subsection (B) of this Section 2(b)(iii),

reorganization, recapitalization or statutory share exchange involving the
Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company in one or a series of transactions (a "Business Combination"),

all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the
then-outstanding Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such
Business Combination beneficially own more than 50% of the then-outstanding
combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or
acquiring corporation in such Business Combination (a "Continuity of Interest").

3.      Exercise of Option.

        (a)     Form of Exercise. To exercise this option, you must sign an
Exercise Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and deliver the
Exercise Notice to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by a copy of
this Option Agreement and payment in full for the shares in the manner provided
in the Plan. You may purchase less than the number of shares covered under this
Option Agreement, but may not partially exercise this option for any fractional
share or for fewer than ten whole shares. This option shall be deemed to be
exercised when the Company receives your fully-executed Exercise Notice, a copy
of this Stock Option Agreement, and payment in full for the shares in the manner
provided in the Plan.

        (b)     Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless
you, at the time you exercise this option, have been at all times since the Date
of Grant, an employee of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company as defined in
Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an "Eligible Participant"). You shall not
cease to be an Eligible Participant if you take a leave of absence permitted
under Company policy, including but not limited to sick leave, vacation leave,
leave under the Family Medical Leave Act, jury duty, military leave, or any
other personal leave, or transfers between locations of the Company, or any
other leave that is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. For each
day that you take a personal leave of absence or leave under the Family Medical
Leave Act (but not sick leave, vacation leave, jury duty, transfers between
locations of the Company or any other leave that is approved by the Board of
Directors) the vesting schedule described in Section 2 above shall be extended
for one additional day. If you take any leave of absence that exceeds ninety
(90) days and this option is designated in Section 1 as an Incentive Stock
Option, then this option shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option, unless
your reemployment is guaranteed at the end of such leave by contract (including
certain Company policies), statute, or applicable regulation.

        (c)     Termination of Relationship with the Company. If you cease to be
an Eligible Participant for any reason, then except as provided in paragraphs
(d), (e), and (f) below, your right to exercise this option shall terminate
three (3) months from the date of such cessation, but in no event after the
Final Exercise Date; provided that you may only exercise this option to the
extent that you were entitled to do so on the date of such cessation.

                                        3

<PAGE>

        (d)     Exercise Period upon Death or Disability. If you die or become
disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final
Exercise Date while you are an Eligible Participant and the Company has not
terminated your relationship for "cause" as defined in paragraph (f) below, then
you or your estate (as applicable) shall be entitled to exercise this option
within twelve (12) months following the date of your death or disability. At the
end of this twelve-month period, this option shall terminate. Notwithstanding
the above, you or your estate may only exercise this option to the extent that
you were entitled to do so on the date of your death or disability, and in no
event shall this option be exercisable after the Final Exercise Date.

        (e)     Compliance with Employment Agreements Required. If you violate
the terms of any employment agreement, non-competition agreement,
non-solicitation agreement, confidentiality agreement, non-disclosure agreement,
intellectual property agreement, or any other agreement or contract between you
and the Company, your right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately
upon such violation.

        (f)     Discharge for Cause. If you are discharged by the Company for
"Cause" as defined below prior to the Final Exercise Date, your right to
exercise this option shall terminate immediately on the effective date of such
discharge. "Cause" shall mean willful misconduct by you or your willful failure
to perform responsibilities to the Company, including your breach of any
employment, consulting, advisory, non-disclosure, non-competition, or similar
agreement between you and the Company, but excluding acts that merely constitute
negligence or gross negligence. You shall be considered to have been discharged
for "cause" if the Company determines, within thirty (30) days after your
resignation, that discharge for cause was warranted and your conduct satisfies
the definition of "Cause" in the preceding sentence.

4.      Withholding.

        No shares will be issued to you upon exercise of this option unless and
until you pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Company for
payment of, any federal, state, or local withholding taxes required by law to be
withheld with respect to this option.

5.      Nontransferability of Option.

        You shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber this
option, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and during your lifetime, this option shall be
exercisable only by you.

6.      Disqualifying Distribution.

        If this option is an Incentive Stock Option and you dispose of shares
acquired upon exercise of this option within two years from the Date of Grant or
one year after you acquired such shares, you shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition.

7.      No Right to Employment.

         If you are an employee, neither the Plan nor this Option Agreement
shall alter in any way your status as an "at-will" employee. You retain your
right to terminate your relationship with the Company at any time, with or
without reason, and the Company retains its right to terminate your relationship
at any time, with or without reason.

                                       4

8.      Provisions of the Plan.

        This option is subject to the provisions of the Plan. In the event of a
conflict between the provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the Plan
shall govern.

9.      Entire Agreement; Governing Law.

        The Plan, this Option Agreement, and the attached Exercise Notice
constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety
all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and you with respect to the
subject matter hereof. The entire agreement shall be governed by Virginia law
except for that body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.
