Article II below.

II.     AGREEMENT

        1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee an Option
to purchase the Common Stock (the "Shares") as set forth in the Notice of Stock
Option Grant in Article I above, at the exercise price per Share set forth in
the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Exercise Price"). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Stock Option Agreement, the Option is subject
to the terms, definitions and provisions of the 2000 Plan, which are
incorporated herein by reference.

        2. Exercise of Option. The Option is exercisable as follows:

               (a) Right to Exercise.

                      (i) The Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according
to the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. For
purposes of this Stock Option Agreement, Shares subject to this Option shall
vest based on Optionee's continued status as a Service Provider.

                      (ii) The Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

                      (iii) In the event of Optionee's death, disability or
other termination of the Optionee's status as a Service Provider, the
exercisability of the Option is governed by Sections 5, 6 and 7 of this Article
II.

                      (iv) In no event may the Option be exercised after the
Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant
in Article I above.

                                       2
<PAGE>

               (b) Method of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by
written Notice (in the form attached as Exhibit A). The Notice must state the
number of Shares for which the Option is being exercised, and such other
representations and agreements with respect to such Shares as may be required by
the Company pursuant to the provisions of the 2000 Plan. The Notice must be
signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to
the Corporate Secretary of the Company. The Notice must be accompanied by
payment of the Exercise Price, including payment of any applicable withholding
tax. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of
such written Notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and payment of any
applicable withholding tax.

               No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option
unless such issuance and such exercise comply with all relevant provisions of
law and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be
listed. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be
considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is
exercised with respect to such Shares.

        3. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that if so requested by the
Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing Underwriter")
in connection with any registration of the offering of any securities of the
Company under the Securities Act or any applicable state laws, Optionee shall
not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company
during the 180-day period (or such longer period as may be requested in writing
by the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the
"Market Standoff Period") following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of such Market Standoff Period.

        4. Method of Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of
the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

               (a) cash;

               (b) check;

               (c) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse
promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as shall then
preclude the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such terms
as may be prescribed by the Administrator;

               (d) with the consent of the Administrator, surrender of other
Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and
(B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Exercise
Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;

               (e) with the consent of the Administrator, surrendered Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Option or exercised
portion thereof;

               (f) with the consent of the Administrator, property of any kind
which constitutes good and valuable consideration; or

                                       3
<PAGE>

               (g) with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a notice
that the Optionee has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to
Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker has been
directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the
Company in satisfaction of the aggregate Exercise Price; provided, that payment
of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale.

        5. Termination of Relationship. If Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider (other than for Cause or by reason of the Optionee's death or the total
and permanent disability of the Optionee as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)),
the Option, to the extent vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a
Service Provider, shall remain exercisable for three (3) months from such date
(but in no event later than the Expiration Date of the term of the Option as set
forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant). To the extent that the Option is not
vested at the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, or if
Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate. If Optionee's status as a Service Provider is terminated
for Cause, the Option, whether vested (in whole or in part) or unvested, shall
immediately terminate.

        6. Disability of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider
as a result of her total and permanent disability as defined in Code Section
22(e)(3), the Option, to the extent vested as of the date on which Optionee
ceases to be a Service Provider, shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months
from such date (but in no event later than the Expiration Date of the term of
the Option as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant). To the extent that
the Option is not vested as of the date on which Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

        7. Death of Optionee. If Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a
result of the Optionee's death, the Option, to the extent vested as of the date
of death, shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the date of
death (but in no event later than the Expiration Date of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant) by Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance.
To the extent that the Option is not vested as of the date of death, or if the
Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

        8. Non-Transferability of Option. The Option may not be transferred in
any manner except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. It may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the
Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of the Optionee.

        9. Term of Option. The Option may be exercised only within the term set
forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

Capstone Turbine Corporation
21211 Nordhoff Street
Chatsworth, CA 91311

Attention:  Corporate Secretary

        1. Exercise of Option. Effective as of today, ___________, 20__, the
undersigned ("Optionee") hereby elects to exercise Optionee's option to purchase
_________ shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") of Capstone Turbine
Corporation (the "Company") under and pursuant to the terms of that certain
Option granted to me on January 29, 2002 under the Stock Option Agreement of the
same date (the "Stock Option Agreement").

        The Stock Option Agreement constitutes a plan separate from the Capstone
Turbine Corporation 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (as such plan has been and may be
amended from time to time, the "2000 Plan") for all purposes, including with
respect to the Company's filing obligations under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended ("Securities Act") on Form S-8. Although the Option granted under the
Stock Option Agreement is not granted under the 2000 Plan, it shall be governed
by terms and conditions identical to those under the 2000 Plan, which are
incorporated into the Stock Option Agreement by reference. Optionee agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement.

        Optionee hereby further acknowledges receipt of a copy of the official

Optionee agrees to abide by and be bound by the terms and conditions of the 2000
Plan and the Stock Option Agreement.

        3. Rights as Stockholder. Until the stock certificate evidencing such
Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote
or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with
respect to Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the
Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate
promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock
certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the 2000 Plan.
Optionee shall enjoy rights as a stockholder until such time as Optionee
disposes of the Shares.

        4. Tax Consultation. Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer
adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee's purchase or disposition of
the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax
consultants Optionee deems advisable in connection with

                                       6
<PAGE>

the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on
the Company for any tax advice.

        5. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights
under this Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Notice shall inure
to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. This Notice shall
be binding upon Optionee and her heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns.

        6. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this
Notice shall be submitted by Optionee or by the Company forthwith to the
Company's Board of Directors or the committee thereof that administers the 2000
Plan (the "Administrator"), which shall review such dispute at its next regular
meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Administrator shall be final
and binding on the Company and on Optionee.

        7. Governing Law; Severability. This Notice shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware excluding that
body of law pertaining to conflicts of law. Should any provision of this Notice
be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other
provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable.

        8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon
deposit in the United States mail by certified mail, with postage and fees
prepaid, addressed to the other party at its address as shown below beneath its
signature, or to such other address as such party may designate in writing from
time to time to the other party.

        9. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further
instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to
carry out the purposes and intent of this Notice.

        10. Delivery of Payment. Optionee herewith delivers to the Company the
full Exercise Price for the Shares, as well as any applicable withholding tax.

        11. Entire Agreement. The 2000 Plan and the Stock Option Agreement are

        such 30 day time period. Within 30 days after Yahoo receives the
        necessary data feeds and creative from US SEARCH, Yahoo shall redesign
        the "no results" page of Yahoo People Search to be substantially similar
        to the mockups provided on Exhibit P. The parties shall work together in
        good faith over the Extended Term to optimize the integration of US
        SEARCH within Yahoo People Search and if created, within the Yahoo!
        People Umbrella. The parties acknowledge that US Search has entered into
        this Agreement as amended in reliance upon optimizing the relationship
        and that such optimization is a mutual understanding between the
        parties. Such optimizations may or may not include: (a) increasing
        promotion of the Yahoo People Search site via placing the people search
        module in member directory, profiles, greetings, maps, email, chat
        and/or internal search results; (b) creating the Yahoo People Umbrella
        to increase the overall traffic to Yahoo People Search; (c) expand the

                                       2
<PAGE>

        US SEARCH product and service offering for Public Record Information and
        such other product/service lines that US SEARCH may offer; and (d)
        facilitating discussions with other Yahoo properties for integration
        possibilities, including but not limited to Hotjobs, real estate,
        yellowpages, finance, personals and auctions. While it is the express
        intent of the parties to optimize the relationship by increasing traffic
        to the US SEARCH site for promotion of its products and services, it
        shall not be a breach of this Agreement as amended, if any or all of the
        above examples of optimization do not occur, as the parties may mutually
        agree to other methods to achieve optimization.

2.4     Amendment of Section 6.1. Section 6.1 of the Agreement is deleted in its
        entirety and replaced with the following:

        6.1 Exclusivity. US SEARCH will be the sole and exclusive third party
        advertised, promoted and/or integrated within Yahoo People Search,
        unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. If Yahoo
        moves Yahoo People Search to the Yahoo! People Umbrella, US SEARCH will
        retain their exclusivity for the Yahoo People Search pages within Yahoo!
        People Umbrella, but will not have exclusivity over the Yahoo! People
        Umbrella home page, or any other categories within Yahoo! People
        Umbrella. Yahoo warrants and represents that it has the full right and
        authority to grant this right of exclusivity to US SEARCH and this grant
        of exclusivity does not conflict with any prior agreements between Yahoo
        and any other party.

2.5     Amendment of Section 7.1. Section 7.1 of the Agreement is deleted in its
        entirety and replaced with the following:

        7.1     A. Over the course of the Extended Term, Yahoo will deliver at
                least *** Clicks (the "Click Commitment") on US Search Links.
                The parties acknowledge that historically Yahoo has consistently
                delivered in excess of this minimum Click Commitment and by
                stating this minimum Click Commitment it is not the intent of
                the parties to reduce the current level of Clicks. As used in
                the Agreement, a Click is an instance of a user pressing down
                (clicking) on a mouse button in an advertising space. Yahoo
                shall have three months (the "Make Good Period") after the end
                of the Extended Term to make good if the Click Commitment is not
                met. Placement of US SEARCH Links during the Make Good Period
                shall be in the Yahoo People Search area or such other locations
                as the parties may reasonably agree upon. During the Make Good
                Period, US SEARCH has no fixed payment obligation as set forth
                in Section 8.1(a) but the revenue share payments as set forth in
                Section 8.1(b) must continue. If Yahoo has not met the Click
                Commitment by the end of the Make Good Period, Yahoo must refund
                pro-rata to US SEARCH the unearned portion of the Total Contract
                Payment (as defined below in Section 8.1(a)) based on the actual
                number of Clicks that were not delivered. Meeting the Click
                Commitment alone does not release Yahoo from other obligations
                under the Agreement. Yahoo will promote US SEARCH in a
                substantially similar and consistent manner before and after
                satisfying the Click Commitment.

                B. Reports: Yahoo will make available on a daily basis to US
                SEARCH, through its online reporting system, the Page View,
                Click and click-through rate data by day, by specific US SEARCH
                Link at each specific location for all US SEARCH Search Modules,
                Enhanced Graphic Links, US SEARCH Wide Buttons, US SEARCH
                GRAPHIC Links, US SEARCH Banners, and their associated text
                links. For all other hard coded text links the report(s) stated
                above will be made on a monthly basis due no later than 7
                calendar days after the end of the preceding month.

                C. Furthermore, Yahoo will permit US SEARCH, at US SEARCH's
                expense, to retain a reputable, independent certified public
                accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to Yahoo solely
                for the purpose of reviewing, at a mutually agreed upon time
                during normal business hours, those records of Yahoo that relate
                to the record of Clicks delivered under this Agreement. In the
                event that any review reveals an under delivery of what has been
                reported by more than ten (10) percent, Yahoo will pay the costs
                of such review, including, but not limited to, the costs and
                fees of the accounting firm selected by US SEARCH. Any under
                delivery will result in a "make good" as set forth above in
                Section 7.1(A) or such other remedy as the parties may agree
                upon.

2.6     Deletion of Sections 7.4. Section 7.4 is deleted in its entirety and
        replaced with the following:

        7.4     Intentionally left blank.

2.7     Amendment of Section 8.1. Section 8.1 of the Agreement is deleted in its
        entirety and replaced with the following:

        8.1     Fees.

                (A)     In consideration of Yahoo's performance and obligations
                        as set forth herein, US SEARCH will pay Yahoo on each
                        date set forth in Exhibit M ("Date") attached hereto,
                        the payment set forth opposite each such Date (the
                        "Payment"). Each such Payment shall be non-refundable,
                        except to the extent otherwise set forth in the
                        Agreement as amended. The aggregate sum of the Payments
                        during the Extended Term shall equal to *** dollars
                        ($***) (the "Total Contract Payment").

                (B)     In addition to the Total Contract Payment, US SEARCH
                        will pay to Yahoo a commission ("Commission") on all
                        sales revenue generated by US SEARCH during the Extended
                        Term according to the schedule set forth in Exhibit M-1
                        attached hereto. For the purpose of determining
                        Commission, all calculations of monthly revenue
                        ("Monthly Revenue") generated as a result of this Fifth
                        Amendment shall be net of shipping and handling, any
                        taxes, fees, charge-backs, refunds, set asides and off
                        sets. US SEARCH will provide Yahoo with a monthly
                        statement of Commission due to Yahoo for the previous
                        month within 10 calendar days after the end of the
                        previous month. Such statement will be signed and
                        certified by the Chief Financial Officer of US SEARCH.
                        US SEARCH will pay such Commission to Yahoo on a monthly
                        basis within thirty (30) days after the end of the
                        previous month.

                (C)     US SEARCH will permit Yahoo, at Yahoo's expense, to
                        retain a reputable, independent certified public
                        accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to US
                        SEARCH solely for the purpose of reviewing, at a
                        mutually agreed upon time during normal business hours,
                        those records of US SEARCH that relate to the
                        calculation of Commission due to Yahoo under this
                        Agreement. In the event that any review reveals an
                        underpayment of more than ten percent (10%), US SEARCH
                        will pay the costs of such review, including, but not
                        limited to, the costs and fees of the accounting firm
                        selected by Yahoo.

2.8     Amendment of Section 9.4. Section 9.4 is deleted in its entirety and
        replaced with the following:

        "9.4 Survival. The provisions of Sections 1, 7.1(C), 8.1(C) and 10-14
        shall survive the expiration or termination of the Extended Term of this
        Agreement."
