                            2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1. PURPOSE.

        The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected employees, directors and
consultants an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of
the Company, or to increase such interest, to encourage such persons to remain
in the employ of the Company and to attract new employees with outstanding
qualifications. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for the
direct grant or sale of Common Stock and for the grant of Options to purchase
Common Stock. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory Stock
Options as well as Incentive Stock Options intended to qualify under section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code. While this Plan is intended to satisfy federal
Rule 701 and Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code, Awards may be
granted under this Plan in reliance upon other federal and state securities law
exemptions and to the extent another exemption is relied upon, the terms of this
Plan which are required only because of Rule 701 or Section 25102(o) need not
apply to the extent provided by the Board in the award agreement.

SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.

        (a) "Award" shall mean any award of an Option, Restricted Share or other
right under the Plan.

        (b) "Board" shall mean the Board of the Company, as constituted from
time to time.

        (c) "Change in Control" shall mean:

                (i) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company
        with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if
        more than 50% of the combined voting power of the continuing or
        surviving entity's securities outstanding immediately after such merger,
        consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not
        stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger,
        consolidation or other reorganization; or

                (ii) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
        substantially all of the Company's assets.

A transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if: (a) its sole purpose
is to change the state of the Company's incorporation, (b) its sole purpose is
to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same
proportions by the persons who held the Company's securities immediately before
such transaction or (c) such transaction constitutes the Company's initial
public offering.

        (d) "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

results in the issuance of a Form W-2 and withheld taxes with respect to him or
her, then that individual shall not be an eligible Employee for that period,

that period.

member of the Board; (iii) a member of the board of directors of a Subsidiary,
or (iv) a Consultant. Service as a member of the Board, a member of the board of

        mean between the last reported representative bid and asked prices
        quoted for such date by the principal automated inter-dealer quotation
        system on which the Shares are quoted or, if the Shares are not quoted
        on any such system, by the "Pink Sheets" published by the National
        Quotation Bureau, Inc.;

                (ii) If the Shares were traded over-the-counter on the date in
        question and were traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market or the Nasdaq

        last-transaction price quoted for such date by the Nasdaq Stock Market
        or the Nasdaq National Market;

        in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the closing
        price reported by the applicable composite transactions report for such
        date; and

                (iv) If none of the foregoing provisions is applicable, then the
        Fair Market Value shall be determined by the Board in good faith on such
        basis as it deems appropriate.

be conclusive and binding on all persons.

by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions
of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to
the Committee. Any reference to the Board in the Plan shall be construed as a
reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board has assigned a particular
function.

the Board may appoint a Committee which, if appointed, shall be comprised solely
of two or more Non-Employee Directors (although Committee functions may be
delegated to officers to the extent the Awards relate to persons who are not

Committee.

        (c) ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Board shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including the
authority in its discretion:

                (i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

                (ii) to select the Employees to whom Options and other Awards
        may from time to time be granted hereunder;

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

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

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

                (vi) to determine whether and under what circumstances an Option
        may be settled in cash under subsection 8(j) instead of Common Stock;

                (vii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
        current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
        covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was
        granted;

                (viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
        relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
        sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax
        treatment under foreign tax laws;

                (ix) to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
        by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock
        to be issued upon exercise of an Option or other Award that number of
        shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be
        withheld. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld shall be
        determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
        determined. All elections by Optionees to have shares withheld for this
        purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
        Board may deem necessary or advisable; and



                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

                (x) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards
        granted pursuant to the Plan.

        (d) EFFECT OF BOARD'S DECISION. All decisions, interpretations and other
actions of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties who
have an interest in the Plan or any Option or shares issued thereunder.

        (e) LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. No member of the Board or the Committee
will be liable for any action or determination made in good faith by the Board
or Committee with respect to the Plan or any Award made under the Plan.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.

        Only Employees shall be eligible for designation as Participants by the
Board. In addition, only individuals who are employed as Common-Law Employees by
the Company or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

        (a) BASIC LIMITATION. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares
of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of
shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed two
million three hundred seventy-six thousand (2,376,000) shares, subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 10.

        In any event, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock which are subject
to Awards or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not
exceed the number of shares which then remain available for issuance under the
Plan; and (ii) to the extent an award is made in reliance upon the exemption
available under Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code, the number
of shares of Common Stock which are subject to Awards or other rights
outstanding at any time under the Plan or otherwise shall not exceed the
limitation imposed by Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times
reserve and keep available sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

        (b) ADDITIONAL SHARES. If any outstanding Option or other right to
acquire Common Stock for any reason expires or is canceled, forfeited or
otherwise terminated, the Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of
such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the
Plan. If shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan are reacquired by the
Company pursuant to any right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such
shares of Common Stock shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan,
except that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
upon the exercise of ISOs shall in no event exceed the number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to paragraph (a) above plus the
number of previously optioned shares returned to the Plan pursuant to the first
sentence of this paragraph, as adjusted pursuant to Section 10.

the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock
Purchase Agreement between the Offeree and the Company. Such grant or sale shall
be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject
to any other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan and
that the Board deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement.
The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the
Plan need not be identical.

        (b) DURATION OF OFFERS. Any right to acquire Common Stock under the Plan
other than an Option shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Offeree
within thirty (30) days after the grant of such right was communicated by the
Board to the Offeree.

        (c) PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price of Common Stock offered under the
Plan shall be established by the Board and set forth in the Stock Purchase
Agreement and, to the extent required by applicable law, including the
California Corporations Code or the regulations thereunder, shall not be less
than 85% of Fair Market Value (100% for 10% Stockholders). The Purchase Price
shall be payable in a form described in Section 9 or, in the discretion of the
Board, in consideration for past services rendered to the Company or for its
benefit.

        (d) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF COMMON STOCK. No Common Stock granted or
sold under the Plan may be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the
Offeree during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective
date of a registration statement covering securities of the Company filed under
the Securities Act of 1933 (unless such restriction is consented to or waived by
the managing underwriter). Subject to the preceding sentence, any Common Stock
granted or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such special conditions,
rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as
the Board may determine. Such restrictions shall apply in addition to any
general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Common Stock.

SECTION 7. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED SHARES.

        (a) FORM AND AMOUNT OF AWARD. Each Stock Award Agreement shall specify
the number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Award. Restricted
Shares may be awarded in combination with NSOs and such an Award may provide
that the Restricted Shares will be forfeited in the event that the related NSOs
are exercised.

        (b) EXERCISABILITY. Each Stock Award Agreement shall specify the
conditions upon which Restricted Shares shall become vested, in full or in
installments. To the extent required by applicable law, each Restricted Share
Award shall become vested no less rapidly than the rate of 20% per year for each
of the first five years from the date of grant. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the vesting of any Restricted Share Award shall be determined by the
Board in its sole discretion.



                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

        (c) EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Board may determine at the time of
making an Award or thereafter, that such Award shall become fully vested, in
whole or in part, in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to
the Company.

        (d) VOTING RIGHTS. Holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan
shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company's other
stockholders. A Stock Award Agreement, however, may require that the holders
invest any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such
additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. Such
additional Restricted Shares shall not reduce the number of Shares available
under Section 5.

SECTION 8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

        (a) STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall
be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent
with the Plan and that the Board deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock
Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical.

        (b) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Option and shall
provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 10.

        (c) ISO OR NSO. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether
the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock with respect to which an Optionee may exercise the Option for the
first time during any calendar year, when added to the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to any other options designated as
ISOs and granted to such Optionee under any stock option plan of the Company or
an Affiliate prior to the date of grant with respect to which such options are
exercisable for the first time during the same calendar year, shall not exceed
$100,000 (the "ISO Exercise Limitation") unless applicable law requires that
your option be exercisable sooner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the ISO
Exercise Limitation would prevent the Optionee from exercising the Option as to
vested shares, then the ISO Exercise Limitation shall terminate as to such
vested shares as such shares vest, and such Optionee may exercise the Option as
to such vested shares. Upon such termination of the ISO Exercise Limitation, the
Option shall be deemed a NSO to the extent of the number of vested shares
subject to the Option that would otherwise exceed the ISO Exercise Limitation.

        (d) EXERCISE PRICE. An Option's Exercise Price shall be established by
the Board and set forth in a Stock Option Agreement. The Exercise Price of an
ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (110% for 10%
Stockholders) on the date of grant. The Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be
less than 85% of the Fair Market Value (110% for 10% Stockholders) on the date
of grant. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 9.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price
lower than that prescribed in this paragraph if the Option grant is attributable
to the issuance or assumption of an option in a transaction to which Code
section 424(a) applies.



                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

        (e) EXERCISABILITY. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date
when all or any installment of the Option is to vest or become exercisable. To
the extent required by applicable law, including the California Corporations
Code and the regulations thereunder, an Option granted to Employees who are not
officers shall vest and become exercisable no less rapidly than the rate of 20%
per year for each of the first five (5) years from the date of grant. Subject to
the preceding sentence, the vesting of any Option shall be determined by the
Board in its sole discretion. A Stock Option Agreement may permit an Optionee to
exercise an Option before it is vested, subject to the Company's right of
repurchase over any shares acquired under the unvested portion of the Option (an
"early exercise"), which right of repurchase shall lapse at the same rate the
Option would have vested had there been no early exercise. Any partial exercise
of an "early exercise" option shall be deemed to cover first vested shares and
then the earliest vesting installment(s) of unvested shares.

        (f) EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. The Board may determine, at the time of
granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become fully
exercisable as to all, or any portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to
such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the
Company.

        (g) TERM. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the
Option. The term shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (5 years
in the case of an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder). Subject to the
preceding sentence, the Board at its sole discretion shall determine when an
Option is to expire.

        (h) EXERCISE OF OPTIONS ON TERMINATION OF SERVICE. Each Option shall set
forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the
Option following termination of the Optionee's Service with the Company and its
Subsidiaries. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Board, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and
may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 8(h), to the extent required by
applicable law, including the California Corporations Code and the regulations
thereunder, each Stock Option Agreement shall provide that the Optionee shall
have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee's
Service, during the Option's term, for at least thirty (30) days following
termination of Service for any reason except cause, death or disability, and for
at least six (6) months following termination of Service due to death or
disability.

        (i) NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Stock
covered by an Option until such person becomes entitled to receive such Common
Stock by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to
the terms of such Option.

        (j) MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Board may modify, extend or assume outstanding
Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted
by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the
same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and at the same or a
different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights
or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option.



                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>

        (k) BUYOUT PROVISIONS. The Board may at any time offer to buy out for a
payment in cash or shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and
conditions as the Board shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the
time that such offer is made.

        (l) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. No shares of Common Stock issued upon
exercise of an Option may be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of by the
Optionee during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective
date of a registration statement covering securities of the Company filed under
the Securities Act of 1933 (unless such restriction is consented to or waived by
the managing underwriter). Subject to the preceding sentence, any Common Stock
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such rights of repurchase,
rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board may
determine. Such restrictions shall apply in addition to any restrictions that
may apply to holders of Common Stock generally. Any right to repurchase an
Optionee's Common Stock at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the
Optionee's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as the schedule set forth in
Subsection (e) above. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within
ninety (90) days after the termination of the Optionee's Service for cash or for
cancellation of indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Common Stock.

SECTION 9. FORMS OF PAYMENT.

        (a) GENERAL RULE. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price shall be
payable in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company at the time of
exercise or purchase, except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.

        (b) SURRENDER OF STOCK. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or
Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part with
Common Stock that has already been owned by the Optionee or the Optionee's
representative for any time period specified by the Board and that are
surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer. Such Common Stock shall be
valued at Fair Market Value on the date when the new Common Stock is purchased
under the Plan.

        (c) PROMISSORY NOTES. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or
Stock Purchase agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part with a
full recourse promissory note executed by the Optionee or Offeree. The interest
rate and other terms and conditions of such note shall be determined by the
Board. The Board may require that the Optionee pledge to the Company shares of
Common Stock or other property of Optionee for the purpose of securing the
payment of such note. In no event shall the stock certificate(s) representing
such Common Stock be released to the Optionee or Offeree until such note is paid
in full, unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Stock
Purchase Agreement.

        (d) CASHLESS EXERCISE. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides and a public market for the Common Stock exists, payment may be made
all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Board) of an irrevocable
direction to a securities broker to sell Common Stock and to deliver all or part
of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.



                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

        (e) OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. To the extent provided in the Stock Option
Agreement, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.

SECTION 10. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK.

        (a) GENERAL. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common
Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Stock, a declaration of an
extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Stock in an amount
that has a material effect on the value of Common Stock, a combination or
consolidation of the outstanding Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, a
recapitalization, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board shall
make appropriate adjustments, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
10(c), in one or more of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock available for
future grants of Options or other rights to acquire Common Stock under Section
5, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option
or other right to acquire Common Stock or (iii) the Exercise Price of each
outstanding Option or the Purchase Price of each other right to acquire Common
Stock.

        (b) MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. In the event that the Company is a party
to a merger or consolidation or the sale of substantially all of the assets of
the Company, outstanding Options or other rights to acquire Common Stock shall
be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization or sale of assets. Such
agreement, without an Optionee's consent, may provide for:

                (i) The continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company
        (if the Company is the surviving corporation);

                (ii) The assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options by
        the surviving corporation or its parent;

                (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its
        parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding
        Options; or

                (iv) The cancellation of such outstanding Options without
        payment of any consideration, provided that in such event vesting of all
        Options will accelerate in full.

        If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption
or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Company shall
notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully
exercisable for a period of ten (10) days from the date of such notice, and the
Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of
this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger
or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the
merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other
securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of
Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and
if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration



                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>

received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent, the Company may, with the consent of the
successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the
exercise of the Option, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option, to
be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair
market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock
in the merger or sale of assets.

        (c) RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Except as provided in this Section 10, an
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend,
or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any
class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to an Option, or the number of shares subject to any
other right to acquire Common Stock and/or the Exercise Price or Purchase Price.
The grant of an Option or other right to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the
Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 11. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

        (a) GENERAL. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local
or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Committee for the satisfaction of any withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied.

        (b) COMMON STOCK WITHHOLDING. The Committee may permit a Participant to
satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by
having the Company withhold all or a portion of any shares of Common Stock that
otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of
any shares of Common Stock that he or she previously acquired. Notwithstanding
the previous sentence in this Section 11(b), the maximum amount that may be
subject to common stock withholding under this Section 11(b) shall be determined
by the Committee based upon the minimum rates of federal, state and employment
withholding applicable under the circumstances. Shares of Common Stock that are
withheld or surrendered pursuant to this Section 11 shall be valued at their
Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.
Any payment of taxes by assigning shares of Common Stock to the Company may be
subject to restrictions, including any restrictions required by rules of any
federal or state regulatory body or other authority.

        (c) CASHLESS EXERCISE/PLEDGE. The Committee may provide that if Company
shares of Common Stock are publicly traded at the time of exercise, arrangements
may be made to meet the Optionee's withholding obligation by cashless exercise
or pledge.

        (d) OTHER FORMS OF PAYMENT. The Committee may permit such other means of
tax withholding as it deems appropriate.

SECTION 12. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.

        (a) RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUANCE. Common Stock shall not be issued under the
Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Common Stock complies with (or is
exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation)
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any
stock exchange on which the Company's securities may then be listed, and the
Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental
agency that the Company determines is necessary or advisable.

        (b) FINANCIAL REPORTS. To the extent required to comply with the
California Corporations Code or the regulations thereunder, not less often than
annually the Company shall furnish to Optionees and Offerees Company summary
financial information including a balance sheet regarding the Company's
financial condition and results of operations, unless such Optionees or Offerees
have duties with the Company that assure them access to equivalent information.
Such financial statements need not be audited.

SECTION 13. ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF AWARDS.

        (a) General. An Award granted under the Plan shall not be anticipated,
assigned, attached, garnished, optioned, transferred or made subject to any
creditor's process, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law,
except as approved by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ISOs may not
be transferable. Also notwithstanding the foregoing, while the shares of Common
Stock are subject to California Corporations Code Section 25102(o), (i) Offerees
and Optionees may not transfer their rights hereunder except by will,
beneficiary designation or the laws of descent and distribution, and (ii) any
rights of repurchase in favor of the Company shall take into account the
provisions of Sections 260.140.41 or 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California
Code of Regulations, as applicable.

        (b) Trusts. Neither this Section 13 nor any other provision of the Plan
shall preclude a Participant from transferring or assigning Restricted Shares to
(a) the trustee of a trust that is revocable by such Participant alone, both at
the time of the transfer or assignment and at all times thereafter prior to such
Participant's death, or (b) the trustee of any other trust to the extent
approved by the Committee in writing. A transfer or assignment of Restricted
Shares from such trustee to any other person than such Participant shall be
permitted only to the extent approved in advance by the Committee in writing,
and Restricted Shares held by such trustee shall be subject to all the
conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Stock
Award Agreement, as if such trustee were a party to such Agreement.

SECTION 14. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.

        No provision of the Plan, nor any Option granted or other right to
acquire Common Stock granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any
person any right to become, to be treated as, or to remain an Employee. The
Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate any person's Service
at any time and for any reason.

SECTION 15. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.

        (a) TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become
effective on the date of its adoption by the Board, subject to the approval of
the Company's stockholders. In the event that the stockholders fail to approve
the Plan within twelve (12) months after its adoption by the Board, any Option
grants or other right to acquire Common Stock already made shall be null and
void, and no additional Option grants or other right to acquire Common Stock
shall be made after such date. The Plan shall terminate automatically ten (10)
years after its adoption by the Board and may be terminated on any earlier date
pursuant to Subsection (b) below.

        (b) RIGHT TO AMEND OR TERMINATE THE PLAN. The Board may amend or
terminate the Plan at any time. Rights under any Option granted or other right
to acquire Common Stock granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be
materially impaired by any amendment or termination, except with consent of the
Optionee or Offeree. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval
of the Company's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws,
regulations or rules.

        (c) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No Common Stock shall be issued
or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an
Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any
amendment thereof, shall not affect any Common Stock previously issued or Option
previously granted under the Plan.

SECTION 16. EXECUTION.

        To record the adoption of the Plan, the Company has caused its
authorized officer to execute the same.
