       4.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

<PAGE>

              (b)    POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.  Subject to the provisions
of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by
the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant
authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

                     (i)     to determine the Fair Market Value;

                     (ii)    to select the Service Providers to whom Options
and Stock Purchase Rights 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 Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions
include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when
Options or Stock Purchase Rights 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 Stock
Purchase Right of the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on
such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                     (vi)    to determine whether and under what
circumstances an Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(e) 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 initiate an Option Exchange Program;

                     (ix)    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;

                     (x)     to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right 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
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

                                       4

<PAGE>

                     (xi)    to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan
and awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

              (c)    EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.

       5.     ELIGIBILITY.

              (a)    Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may
be granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to Employees.

              (b)    Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For
purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of
the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.

              (c)    Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the
Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it
interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to
terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

       6.     TERM OF PLAN.  Subject to Section 18 of the Plan, the Plan
shall be come effective upon its adoption by the Board.  It shall continue in
effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 14
of the Plan.

       7.     TERM OF OPTION.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant thereof.  In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant of such shorter term as
may be provided in the Option Agreement.

       8.     OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

              (a)    The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

                     (i)  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:

                                       5
<PAGE>

                             (A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time
of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%)
of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant; and

                             (B)    granted to any other Employee, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant:

                     (ii)    In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the
per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator; and

                     (iii)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be
granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant
to a merger or other corporate transaction.

              (b)    The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, shall be determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration may
consist of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which
(x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and
(y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, or
(5) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected
to benefit the Company.

       9.     EXERCISE OF OPTION.

              (a)    PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE, RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.  Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof
at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Unless the Administrator provides
otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any
unpaid leave of absence.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

                     An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company
receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with
the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option; and
(ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of
payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement
and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in
the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the
Optionee and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are 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 shareholder shall exist with

                                       6
<PAGE>

respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares 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 Shares are issued,
except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

                     Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a
decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of
the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which
the Option is exercised.

              (b)    TERMINATION OF RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER.  If
an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement (of at least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee's termination.  If,
on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall
revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the
Plan.

              (c)    DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.  If an Optionee ceases to be a
Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's total and permanent
disability, as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the absence of a specified
time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve
(12) months following the Optionee's termination.  If, on the date of
termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the
Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (d)    DEATH OF OPTIONEE.  If an Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of death.  In the absence of a specified time in the
Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months
following the Optionee's termination.  If, at the time of death, the Optionee
is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  The
Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Optionee's
estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under
the Optionee's

                                       7

<PAGE>

will or the laws of descent or distribution.  If the Option is not so
exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and
the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (e)    BUYOUT PROVISIONS.  The Administrator 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 Administrator shall
establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

       10.    STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.

              (a)    RIGHTS TO PURCHASE.  Stock Purchase Rights may be issued
either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under
the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.  After the
Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the
Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms,
conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of
Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid,
and the time within which such person must accept such offer.  The offer
shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in
the form determined by the Administrator.

              (b)    REPURCHASE OPTION.  Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination
of the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death
or disability).  The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the
purchaser to the Company.  The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as
the Administrator may determine.

              (c)    OTHER PROVISIONS.  The Restricted Stock purchase
agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its
sole discretion.

              (d)    RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER.  Once the Stock Purchase Right
is exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a
shareholder and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered
upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  No
adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record
date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

       11.    NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.
Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Options and Stock Purchase
Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or
disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only
by the Optionee.  If the Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase
Right transferable, such Option

                                       8
<PAGE>

or Stock Purchase Right shall contain such additional terms and conditions as
the Administrator deems appropriate.

       12.    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER OR ASSET
SALE.

              (a)    CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  Subject to any required
action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common
Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the
number of shares of Common Stock with have been authorized for issuance under
the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of any Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock
Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a
stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in
the numbered of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company.  The conversion of any convertible securities
of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration."  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive.
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of
stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an
Option or Stock Purchase Right.

              (b)    DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION.  In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall
notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of
such proposed transaction.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide
for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen
(15) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered
thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
exercisable.  In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company
repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided
the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the
manner contemplated.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.

              (c)    MERGER OR ASSET SALE.  In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right
shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the
successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.
In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute
for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and
have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of
the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be
vested or exercisable.  If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully
vested and exercisable in lieu of

                                       9

<PAGE>

assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of
fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the
purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right 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 Optioned
Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right 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 received in the merge or sale
of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option
or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, 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.

       13.    TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.  The date
of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option
or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the
Administrator.  Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service
Provider to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

       14.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

              (a)    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.  The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

              (b)    SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  The Board shall obtain
shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

              (c)    EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.  No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of
any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee
and the Company.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with
respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such
termination.

       15.    CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

              (a)    LEGAL COMPLIANCE.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant
to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply

                                       10
<PAGE>

with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel
for the Company with respect to such compliance.

              (b)    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  As a condition to the
exercise of an Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising
such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the
Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of the counsel
for the Company, such a representation is required.

       16.    INABILITY TO OBTAIN AUTHORITY.  The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

       17.    RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company, during the term of this
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

       18.    SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree
and manner required under Applicable Laws.

II.   AGREEMENT

     1.     GRANT OF OPTION.  The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), an
option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the
Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the "Exercise Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Subject Section 14(c) of
the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall
prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"),
this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in
Section 422 of the Code.  Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the
$100,000 rule of Code Section $422(d), this Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").

     2.     EXERCISE OF OPTION.

          (a)     RIGHT TO EXERCISE.  This Option shall be exercisable during
its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of
Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

          (b)     METHOD OF EXERCISE.  This option shall be exercisable by
delivery of an exercisable notice in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the
"Exercise Notice") which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the
number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company.
The

                                         2

<PAGE>

Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice
accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such
issuance and such exercise complies with Applicable Laws. 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.     OPTIONEE'S REPRESENTATIONS. In the event the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this
Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company,
concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver
to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.

     4.     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, Optionee shall not sell
or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during
the 180-day period (or such other period as may be requested in writing by
the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writhing by the Company) (the
"Market Standoff Period") following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act.  Such restriction
shall apply only to the first registration statement of the Company to become
effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be sold on
behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering 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.

     5.     METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall
be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of
the Optionee:

          (a)     cash or check; or

          (b)     surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Exercised Shares.

     6.  RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.  This Option may not be exercised until
such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company,
or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment
of  for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law.

                                        3

<PAGE>

       7.     NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.  This Option may not be
transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution any may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee.  The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.

       8.     TERM OF OPTION.  This Option may be exercised only within the
term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term
only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

       9.     TAX CONSEQUENCES.  Set forth below is a brief summary as of the
date of this Option of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of
this Option and disposition of the Shares.  THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY
INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE
OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

              (a)    EXERCISE OF NSO.  There may be a regular federal income
tax liability upon the exercise of an NSO.  The Optionee will be treated as
having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates)
equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the
date of exercise over the Exercise Price.  If Optionee is an Employee or a
former Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from Optionee's
compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable taxing
authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this compensation
income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the exercise and
refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the
time of exercise.

              (b)    EXERCISE OF ISO.  If this Option qualifies as an ISO,
there will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of
the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an
adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may
subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

              (c)    DISPOSITION OF SHARES.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares
are held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the
Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax
purposes.  In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the
Option are held for at least one year after exercise and of at least two
years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
will also be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax
purposes.  If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within one year
after exercise or two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on
such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income rates) to the extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and
the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of
exercise, or (2) the sale price

                                       4
<PAGE>

of the Shares.  Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term
or long-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

              (d)    NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES.  If
the Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or
otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or
before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2)
the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately
notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that
Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the
compensation income recognized by the Optionee.

       10.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan is incorporated
herein by reference.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a
writing signed by the Company and Optionee.  This agreement is governed by
the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of the state of
Delaware.

       11.    NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.  OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES
HEREUNDER).  OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT,
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH
HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR
AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE
COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT
ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or
she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts
this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.  Optionee has
reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity
to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully
understands all provisions of the Option.  Optionee hereby agrees to accept
as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this

                                       5

Option.  Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the
residence address indicated below.

3. REPRESENTATIONS OF OPTIONEE. Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has
received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to
abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

4. RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER. Until the issuance of the Shares (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 shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding
the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to the Optionee as soon
as practicable after the Option is exercised. No adjustment shall be made for a
dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of
issuance except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

5. COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Before any Shares held by Optionee or any
transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the "Holder") may be
sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law),
the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase
the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "Right of
First Refusal").

     (a) NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to
the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating: (i) the Holder's bona fide
intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each
proposed purchaser or other transferee ("Proposed Transferee"); (iii) the number
of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the

<PAGE>

bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to
transfer the Shares (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer the Shares
at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

     (b) EXERCISE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. At any time within thirty (30) days
after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving
written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of
the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed
Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c)
below.

     (c) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Shares
purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section shall be the
Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the
cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the
Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

     (d) PAYMENT. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of
the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a
portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the
case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination
thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the
times set forth in the Notice.

     (e) HOLDER'S RIGHT TO TRANSFER. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice
to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the
Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may
sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the
Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is
consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or
other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws
and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this
Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed
Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the
Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the
Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right
of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise
transferred.

     (f) EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN FAMILY TRANSFERS. Anything to the contrary
contained in this Section notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the
Shares during the Optionee's lifetime or on the Optionee's death by will or
intestacy to the Optionee's immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the
Optionee's immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section.
"Immediate Family" as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or
antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or
other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the
provisions of this Section, and there shall be no further transfer of such
Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section.

shall terminate as to any Shares upon the first sale of Common Stock of the
Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with

Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

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

7. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.

     (a) LEGENDS. Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause
the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
          SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR
          OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
          REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
          SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR
          TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

                                   EXHIBIT B

                      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

OPTIONEE:

COMPANY:              LIQUOR.COM, INC

SECURITY:             COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT:

DATE:

     In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

     (a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is
acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

     (b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
"restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee's
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands
that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis
for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's representation was
predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the
minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale,
for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or
for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee
further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they
are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that
the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee
understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted
with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are
registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company, and any other legend required under applicable
state securities laws.

     (c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each
promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public
resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the
issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the
time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt
from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any
market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may
be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and,
in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information
about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three
month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

     In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were
sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the
Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the
Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

     (d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

                                             Signature of Optionee:

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