of, the express provisions of the Plan:

          (1) To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible under
the Plan shall be granted Options; when and how each Option shall be granted;
whether an Option will be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option; the provisions of each Option granted (which need not be identical),
including the time or times such Option may be exercised in whole or in part;
and the number of shares for which an Option shall be granted to each such
person.

          (2) To construe and interpret the Plan and Options granted under it,
and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.
The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or
inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, in a manner and to the
extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

          (3) To amend the Plan or an Option as provided in Section 11.

delegated. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3 to the contrary, the Board

Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of
recognition of income resulting from such Option, or (ii) not persons with
respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code.

4.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

changes in stock, the stock that may be sold pursuant to Options shall not
exceed in the aggregate Seven Million Five Hundred Seventy Five Thousand
(7,575,000) shares of Common Stock. If any Option shall for any reason expire or
otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full,
the stock not purchased under such Option shall revert to and again become
available for issuance under the Plan.

     (b) The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired
shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

5.   ELIGIBILITY.

     (a) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Nonstatutory
Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, Directors or Consultants.

     (b) No person shall be eligible for the grant of an Option if, at the time
of grant, such person owns (or is deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of
the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any of its Affiliates
unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value of such stock at the date of grant and the
Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date
of grant.

     (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 10 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, no person shall be eligible to be granted Options covering
more than Three Hundred Eighteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty (318,750) shares
of Common Stock in any calendar year. This subsection 5(c) shall not apply prior
to the Listing Date and, following the Listing Date, shall not apply until (i)
the earliest of: (A) the first material modification of the Plan (including any
increase to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan in
accordance with Section 4); (B) the issuance of all of the shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (C) the expiration of the Plan; or
(D) the first meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected that
occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in
which occurred the first registration of an equity security under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act; or (ii) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.   OPTION PROVISIONS.

     Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate
Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the
substance of each of the following provisions:

     (a) TERM. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10)
years from the date it was granted.

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

     (b) PRICE. The exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock
subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted; the exercise price of
each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the
Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an
Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an
exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such
Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another Option
in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

     (c) CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an
Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii) at
the discretion of the Board or the Committee, at the time of the grant of the
Option, (A) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock held for the
requisite period to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings, (B) according to a
deferred payment or other arrangement (which may include, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of other Common Stock) with the person to
whom the Option is granted or to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to
subsection 6(d), or (C) in any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement,
interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the
minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any
applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to
be interest under the deferred payment arrangement. In addition, the "par value"
of the stock will be paid in cash to the extent required by applicable law.

     (d) TRANSFERABILITY. An Option shall not be transferable except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of the person to whom the Option is granted only by such person. The
person to whom the Option is granted may, by delivering written notice to the
Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in
the event of the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise
the Option.

     (e) VESTING. The total number of shares of stock subject to an Option may,
but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may, but need not, be
equal). The Option Agreement may provide that from time to time during each of
such installment periods, the Option may become exercisable ("vest") with
respect to some or all of the shares allotted to that period, and may be
exercised with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to such period
and/or any prior period as to which the Option became vested but was not fully
exercised. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the
time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or
other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of
individual Options may vary but, to the extent necessary under then applicable
law, in each case will provide for vesting of at least twenty percent (20%) per
year of the total number of shares subject to the Option. The provisions of this
subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option provisions governing the minimum
number of shares as to which an Option may be exercised.

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

     (f) SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. The Company may require any Optionee, or any
person to whom an Option is transferred under subsection 6(d), as a condition of
exercising any such Option, (1) to give written assurances satisfactory to the
Company as to the Optionee's knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to
the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business
matters, and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the
purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (2)
to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person
is acquiring the stock subject to the Option for such person's own account and
not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock.
The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise of the Option has been registered under a then currently effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) as to any particular
requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such
requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable
securities laws. The Company may require the Optionee to provide such other
representations, written assurances or information which the Company shall
determine is necessary, desirable or appropriate to comply with applicable
securities and other laws as a condition of granting an Option to such Optionee
or permitting the Optionee to exercise such Option. The Company may, upon advice
of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the
Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with
applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting
the transfer of the stock.

     (g) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR RELATIONSHIP AS A DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT.
In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability), the
Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination) but only within such
period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months following
the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant (or such longer period as specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii)
the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or
her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If,
after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the
time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the
shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

     (h) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status as
an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee's
disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12)
months following such termination (or such longer period as specified in the
Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth
in the Option Agreement. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not
entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available
for issuance under 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

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

     (i) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or
within a period specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of, the
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option
may be exercised (to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the option
as of the date of death) by the Optionee's estate, by a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated
to exercise the Option upon the Optionee's death pursuant to subsection 6(d),
but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12)
months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period, which in
no event shall be less than six (6) months, specified in the Option Agreement),
or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to exercise
his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the
Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.
If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert
to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

     (j) EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Optionee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or
Consultant to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares subject to
the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares so
purchased shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company, with
the repurchase price to be equal to the original purchase price of the stock, or
to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate; provided,
however, that (i) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall
lapse at a minimum rate of twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years
from the date the Option was granted, and (ii) such right shall be exercisable
only within (A) the ninety (90) day period following the termination of
employment or the relationship as a Director or Consultant, or (B) such longer
period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Optionee (for example, for
purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code
(regarding "qualified small business stock")), and (iii) such right shall be
exercisable only for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the
shares. Should the right of repurchase be assigned by the Company, the assignee
shall pay the Company cash equal to the difference between the original purchase
price and the stock's Fair Market Value if the original purchase price is less
than the stock's Fair Market Value.

     (k) RIGHT OF REPURCHASE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to repurchase all or
any part of the vested shares exercised pursuant to the Option; provided,
however, that (i) such repurchase right shall be exercisable only within (A) the
ninety (90) day period following the termination of employment or the
relationship as a Director or Consultant, or (B) such longer period as may be
agreed to by the Company and the Optionee (for example, for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code (regarding
"qualified small business stock")), (ii) such repurchase right shall be
exercisable for less than all of the vested shares only with the Optionee's
consent, and (iii) such right shall be exercisable only for cash or cancellation
of purchase money indebtedness for the shares at a repurchase price equal to the
greater of (A) the stock's Fair Market Value at the time of such termination or
(B) the original purchase price paid for such shares by the Optionee. Should the
right of repurchase be assigned by the Company, the

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

assignee shall pay the Company cash equal to the difference between the original
purchase price and the stock's Fair Market Value if the original purchase price
is less than the stock's Fair Market Value.

     (l) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Option may, but need not, include a
provision whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to exercise
a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionee of the
intent to transfer all or any part of the shares exercised pursuant to the
Option.

     (m) WITHHOLDING. To the extent provided by the terms of an Option
Agreement, the Optionee may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding
obligation relating to the exercise of such Option by any of the following means
or by a combination of such means: (1) tendering a cash payment; (2) authorizing
the Company to withhold shares from the shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable to the Optionee as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (3)
delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

7.   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     (a) During the terms of the Options, the Company shall keep available at
all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy such Options.

     (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the Options; provided, however,
that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the
Securities Act either the Plan, any Option or any stock issued or issuable
pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable
to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which
counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of
stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for
failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until
such authority is obtained.

8.   USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

     Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Options shall constitute
general funds of the Company.

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a) Subject to any applicable provisions of the Securities Law and related
regulations relied upon as a condition of issuing securities pursuant to the
Plan, the Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Option
may first be exercised or the time during which an Option or any part thereof
will vest pursuant to subsection 6(e), notwithstanding the provisions in the
Option stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during
which it will vest.

     (b) Neither an Optionee nor any person to whom an Option is transferred
under subsection 6(d) shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the
rights of a holder with

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

respect to, any shares subject to such Option unless and until such person has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.

     (c) Throughout the term of any Option, the Company shall deliver to the
holder of such Option, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the
close of each of the Company's fiscal years during the Option term, a balance
sheet and an income statement. This Section shall not apply (i) after the
Listing Date, or (ii) when issuance is limited to key employees whose duties in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

     (d) Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Option granted
pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director, Consultant or
Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate (or
to continue acting as a Director or Consultant or shall affect the right of the
Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Employee, with or
without cause, to remove any Director as provided in the Company's Bylaws and
the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or to terminate the
relationship of any Consultant subject to the terms of that Consultant's
agreement with the Company or Affiliate to which such Consultant is providing
services.

     (e) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year under
all plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according
to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options.

     (f)  (1) The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to effect, at
any time and from time to time, and with the consent of the affected holders of
Options, (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options under the Plan and/or (ii)
the cancellation of any outstanding Options and the grant in substitution
therefor of new Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of
shares of Common Stock, but having an exercise price per share not less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value (one hundred percent (100%)
of the Fair Market Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or, in the
case of a ten percent (10%) stockholder (as defined in subsection 5(b)), not
less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value) per share
of Common Stock on the new grant date.

          (2) shares subject to an Option canceled under this subsection
9(f) shall continue to be counted, for the applicable period in which it was
granted, against the maximum award of Options permitted to be granted pursuant
to subsection 5(c) of the Plan. The repricing of an Option under this subsection
9(f), resulting in a reduction of the exercise price, shall be deemed to be a
cancellation of the original Option and the grant of a substitute Option; in the
event of such repricing, both the original and the substituted Options shall be
counted for the applicable period against the maximum awards of Options
permitted to be granted pursuant to subsection 5(c) of the Plan. The provisions
of this subsection 9(f)(2) shall be applicable only to the extent required by
Section 162(m) of the Code.

10.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

     (a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any Option (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the
Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the type(s) and maximum
number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the
maximum number of securities subject to award to any person during any calendar
year pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Options will be
appropriately adjusted in the type(s) and number of securities and price per
share of stock subject to such outstanding Options. Such adjustments shall be
made by the Board or Committee, the determination of which shall be final,
binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the
Company shall not be treated as a "transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company.")

     (b) In the event of: (1) a dissolution, liquidation, or sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or (3) a reverse merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or
otherwise, then: (i) any surviving or acquiring corporation shall assume Options
outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar options (including an
option to acquire the same consideration paid to stockholders in the transaction
described in this Subsection 10(b)) for those outstanding under the Plan, or
(ii) in the event any surviving or acquiring corporation refuses to assume such
Options or to substitute similar Options for those outstanding under the Plan,
(A) with respect to Options held by persons then performing services as
Employees, Directors or Consultants and subject to any applicable provisions of
the Securities Law and related regulations relied upon as a condition of issuing
securities pursuant to the Plan, the vesting of such Options and the time during
which such Options may be exercised shall be accelerated prior to such event and
the Options terminated if not exercised after such acceleration and at or prior
to such event, and (B) with respect to any other Options outstanding under the
Plan, such Options shall be terminated if not exercised prior to such event. The
Board shall use its best efforts to provide Optionees with prior notice of such
transaction.

11.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS.

     (a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.

the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for the Plan to
satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements.

     (b) The Board may in its sole discretion submit any other amendment to the

compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to
certain executive officers.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

     (c) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any
respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide Optionees with the
maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and
the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options
and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options granted under it into
compliance therewith.

     (d) Rights and obligations under any Option granted before amendment of the
Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company
requests the consent of the person to whom the Option was granted and (ii) such
person consents in writing.

     (e) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of
any one or more Options; provided, however, that the rights and obligations
under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Option was granted and
(ii) such person consents in writing.

12.  TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

     (a) The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner
terminated, the Plan shall terminate on April 24, 2007, which shall be within

stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Options may be granted
under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated

     (b) All nights and obligations under any Option granted while the Plan is
in effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan, except
with the written consent of the person to whom the Option was granted.

13.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

granted under the Plan shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within
twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

14.  CHANGE IN CONTROL.

shares), and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Option Agreement
reflecting the applicable Option, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control:

          (1) If an Optionee who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate at
the time of a Change in Control holds one or more outstanding Options, such
Optionee shall be credited with two years of additional vesting service for
purposes of the vesting of Options, and the vesting of any Common Stock
purchased by the Optionee under an Option.

          (2) If an Optionee who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate at
the time of a Change in Control holds any Option granted under the Plan and
prior to the one-year anniversary of the Change in Control such Optionee is
either (i) terminated by the Company for

                                       12

reasons other than Cause or (ii) terminates employment for Good Reason, such
Optionee shall become fully vested in any Options granted under the Plan and
shall have the greater of (i) 90 days from the date of such termination or (ii)
the period otherwise specified for exercise after termination had the Optionee
been fully vested in the Options on the date of termination to exercise such

a date that is later than the date it would have been exercisable if the
Optionee had remained employed by the Company or an Affiliate.

common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock"), or (ii)
the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the
Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the

of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change
in Control: (A) any acquisition directly from the Company (excluding any
acquisition resulting from the exercise of an exercise, conversion or exchange
privilege unless the security being so exercised, converted or exchanged was
acquired directly from the Company), (B) any acquisition by the Company, (C) any

Plan) shall become the beneficial owner of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the Outstanding Company Common Stock or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities by reason of an acquisition by the
Company, and such Person shall, after such acquisition by the Company, become
the beneficial owner of any additional shares of the Outstanding Company Common
Stock or any additional Outstanding Company Voting Securities (other than
pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or arrangement maintained by the
Company) and such beneficial ownership is publicly announced, such additional
beneficial ownership shall constitute a Change in Control.

          (2) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Board of Directors of the Company (for purposes of this subsection (b), the
"Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the
Incumbent Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company shareholders, was approved by a vote of a least a majority of the
directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such
individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this
purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a
result of an actual or threatened election contest (as such terms

                                       13
<PAGE>   14

or (ii) the sale or other disposition of more than 50% of the operating assets
of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis), other than in connection
with a sale-leaseback or other arrangement resulting in the continued
utilization of such assets (or the operating products of such assets) by the
Company (any transaction described in part (i) or (ii) being referred to as a
"Corporate Transaction"); excluding, however, a Corporate Transaction pursuant
to which all of paragraphs (A), (B), and (C) below are applicable:

               (A) All or substantially of the individuals and entities who are
the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of,
respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a
corporation which, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company either directly or through one or
more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership,
immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be.

               (B) No Person (other than the Company, any Company Plan or
related trust, the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction, and
any Person which beneficially owned, immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, directly or indirectly, twenty-five percent (25%) or more than the
Outstanding Company Common Stock or the Outstanding Company Voting Securities,
as the case may be) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty-five
percent (25%) or more of, respectively, the then outstanding common stock of the
corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting
power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation.

               (C) Individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will

          (4) A tender offer (for which a filing has been made with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") which purports to comply with the
requirements of Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding SEC
rules) is made for the stock of the Company, which has not been negotiated and
approved by the Board, provided that in case of a tender offer described in this
subsection (b)(4), the Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred upon
the first to occur of (A) any time during the offer period when the Person (as
defined in subsection (b)(1), above) making the offer beneficially owns or has
accepted for payment stock of the Company with 25% or more of the combined
voting power of the then

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

Outstanding Company Voting Securities or (B) 3 business days before the offer is
to terminate, unless the offer is withdrawn first, if the Person making the

(1) a diminution of the Optionee's duties or the assignment to him of duties
that are inconsistent in any substantial respect with the position, authority or
responsibilities associated with his position, (2) a reduction in the Optionee's
salary rate or bonus potential; or (3) a relocation of the Optionee, that occurs
after a Change of Control and without the Optionee's consent, of over 100 miles
from the Optionee's primary employment location as of the date of the Change of
Control, except for required travel on Company business to an extent
substantially consistent with the Optionee's business travel obligations prior
to the date of the Change of Control.

     (e) The term "Disability" shall mean the inability of the Optionee, after
reasonable accommodation, to continue to perform his duties on a full-time basis
as a result of mental or physical illness, sickness or injury and the Company
determines that such disability is of a long-term nature.

15.  POTENTIAL CHANGE IN CONTROL.

     If the Optionee's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause
during a Potential Change in Control, and such date of termination occurs not
more than 60 days prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, then the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive the benefits that he would have received

Company without Cause immediately after the Change in Control. A "Potential
Change in Control" shall exist during any period in which the circumstances
described in subsections (a), (b), or (c) below exist (provided, however, that a
Potential Change in Control shall cease to exist not later than the occurrence
of a Change in Control):

     (a) The Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would
result in the occurrence of a Change in Control, provided that a Potential
Change in Control described

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

in this subsection 15(a) shall cease to exist upon the expiration or other
termination of all such agreements.

     (b) Any person (including the Company) publicly announces an intention to
take or to consider taking actions the consummation of which would constitute a
Change in Control; provided that a Potential Change in Control described in this
subsection 15(b) shall cease to exist upon the withdrawal of such intention, or
upon a reasonable determination by the Board that there is no reasonable chance
that such actions would be consummated.

     (c) The Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of the
Plan, a Potential Change in Control exists; provided that a Potential Change in
Control described in this paragraph 15(c) shall cease to exist upon a reasonable
determination by the Board that the reasons that gave rise to the resolution
providing for the existence of a Potential Change in Control have expired or no
longer exist.

payment alternative and, in order to secure the payment of the deferred exercise
price to the Company hereunder, if the Company so requests, you must tender to
the Company a promissory note and a security agreement covering the purchased
shares, both in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, or such other or
additional documentation as the Company may request.

17.   Exercise Prior to Vesting Permitted.

     (a) CONDITIONS OF EARLY EXERCISE. Subject to the provisions of this option
you may elect, at any time during your Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, to
exercise the option as to any part or all of the shares subject to this option
at any time during the term hereof, including without limitation, a time prior
to the date of earliest exercise ("vesting") stated in paragraph 2 hereof;
provided, however, that:

          (1) a partial exercise of this option shall be deemed to cover first
vested shares and then the earliest vesting installment of unvested shares;

                                       2
<PAGE>   19

          (2) any shares so purchased from installments which have not vested as
of the date of exercise shall be subject to the purchase option in favor of the
Company as described in the Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement;

          (3) you shall enter into an Early Exercise Stock Purchase Agreement in
the form provided by the Company with a vesting schedule that will result in the
same vesting as if no early exercise had occurred; and

          (4) this option shall not be exercisable under this paragraph 4 to the
extent such exercise would cause the aggregate fair market value of any shares
subject to incentive stock options granted you by the Company or any Affiliate
(valued as of their grant date) which would become exercisable for the first
time during any calendar year to exceed $100,000.

     (b) EXPIRATION OF EARLY EXERCISE ELECTION. The election provided in this
paragraph 4 to purchase shares upon the exercise of this option prior to the
vesting dates shall cease upon termination of your Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
and may not be exercised after the date thereof.

18.  Whole Shares. THIS OPTION MAY ONLY BE EXERCISED FOR WHOLE SHARES.

19.  Securities Law Compliance. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
     CONTAINED HEREIN, THIS OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE SHARES
     ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION ARE THEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OR, IF SUCH SHARES ARE NOT THEN SO REGISTERED, THE COMPANY
     HAS DETERMINED THAT SUCH EXERCISE AND ISSUANCE WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THE
     REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

20.  Term. THE TERM OF THIS OPTION COMMENCES ON JULY 21, 1997, THE DATE OF
     GRANT, AND EXPIRES ON JULY 20, 2007 (THE "EXPIRATION DATE"), WHICH DATE
     SHALL BE NO MORE THAN TEN (10) YEARS FROM DATE THIS OPTION IS GRANTED,
     UNLESS THIS OPTION EXPIRES SOONER AS SET FORTH BELOW OR IN THE PLAN. IN NO
     EVENT MAY THIS OPTION BE EXERCISED ON OR AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE. THIS
     OPTION SHALL TERMINATE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE AS FOLLOWS: THREE
     MONTHS AFTER JANUARY 1, 1998 IF THE TERMINATION OF YOUR CONTINUOUS STATUS
     AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT WITH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE OF
     THE COMPANY OCCURS PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 1998, OR THREE MONTHS AFTER THE
     TERMINATION OF YOUR CONTINUOUS STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR
     CONSULTANT WITH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY IF SUCH
     TERMINATION OCCURS AFTER JANUARY 1, 1998, UNLESS ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
     CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTS:

     (a) Your termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant is due to your disability. This option will then expire on the
earlier of the Expiration Date set forth above or twelve (12) months following
such termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.
You should be aware that if your disability is not considered a permanent and
total disability within the meaning of Section 422(c)(6) of the Code, and you
exercise this option more than three (3) months following the date of your
termination of employment, your exercise will be treated for tax purposes as the
exercise of a "nonstatutory stock option" instead of an "incentive stock
option."

                                       3
<PAGE>   20

     (b) Your termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant is due to your death or your death occurs within three (3) months
following your termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant for any other reason. This option will then expire on the earlier of
the Expiration Date set forth above or twelve (12) months after your death.

     (c) If during any part of such three (3)-month period you may not exercise
your option solely because of the condition set forth in paragraph 6 above, then
your option will not expire until the earlier of the Expiration Date set forth
above or until this option shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period
of three (3) months after your termination of Continuous Status as an Employee,
Director or Consultant.

     (d) If your exercise of the option within three (3) months after
termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
with the Company or with an Affiliate of the Company would result in liability
under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then your option
will expire on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date set forth above, (ii) the
tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such
liability or (iii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after the termination of
your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company.

     However, this option may be exercised following termination of Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant only as to that number of shares
as to which it was exercisable on the date of termination of Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant under the provisions of paragraph 2 of
this option.

     In order to obtain the federal income tax advantages associated with an
"incentive stock option," the Code requires that at all times beginning on the
date of grant of the option and ending on the day three (3) months before the
date of the option's exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, except in the event of your death or permanent and
total disability. The Company has provided for continued vesting or extended
exercisability of your option under certain circumstances for your benefit, but
cannot guarantee that your option will necessarily be treated as an "incentive
stock option" if you provide services to the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company as a consultant or exercise your option more than three (3) months after
the date your employment with the Company and all Affiliates of the Company
terminates.

21.  Exercise.

     (a) This option may be exercised, to the extent specified above, by
delivering a notice of exercise (in the form attached hereto or as otherwise
designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of
the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during
regular business hours, together with such additional documents as the Company
may then require pursuant to subsection 6(f) of the Plan.

     (b) By exercising this option you agree that:

          (1) as a precondition to the completion of any exercise of this
option, the Company may require you to enter an arrangement providing for the
payment by you to the

                                       4
<PAGE>   21

Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of
(1) the exercise of this option; (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of
forfeiture to which the shares are subject at the time of exercise; or (3) the
disposition of shares acquired upon such exercise;

          (2) you will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days
after the date of any disposition of any of the shares of the Common Stock
issued upon exercise of this option that occurs within two (2) years after the
date of this option grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common
Stock are transferred upon exercise of this option; and

          (3) the Company (or a representative of the underwriters) may, in
connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act, require that you not sell or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or other securities
of the Company during such period (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days)
following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed
under the Securities Act as may be requested by the Company or the
representative of the underwriters. You further agree that the Company may
impose stoptransfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the
foregoing restrictions until the end of such period.

22.  Transferability. THIS OPTION IS NOT TRANSFERABLE, EXCEPT BY WILL OR BY THE
     LAWS OF DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION, AND IS EXERCISABLE DURING YOUR LIFE ONLY
     BY YOU. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BY DELIVERING WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE
     COMPANY, IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, YOU MAY DESIGNATE A THIRD
     PARTY WHO, IN THE EVENT OF YOUR DEATH, SHALL THEREAFTER BE ENTITLED TO
     EXERCISE THIS OPTION.

23.  Option Not a Service Contract. THIS OPTION IS NOT AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
     AND NOTHING IN THIS OPTION SHALL BE DEEMED TO CREATE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER
     ANY OBLIGATION ON YOUR PART TO CONTINUE IN THE EMPLOY OF THE COMPANY, OR OF
     THE COMPANY TO CONTINUE YOUR EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY. IN ADDITION,
     NOTHING IN THIS OPTION SHALL OBLIGATE THE COMPANY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE
     COMPANY, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE STOCKHOLDERS, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR
     EMPLOYEES TO CONTINUE ANY RELATIONSHIP WHICH YOU MIGHT HAVE AS A DIRECTOR
     OR CONSULTANT FOR THE COMPANY OR AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY.

24.  Notices. ANY NOTICES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS OPTION OR THE PLAN SHALL BE GIVEN
     IN WRITING AND SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVELY GIVEN UPON RECEIPT OR, IN THE
     CASE OF NOTICES DELIVERED BY THE COMPANY TO YOU, FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER
     DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, ADDRESSED TO YOU AT THE
     ADDRESS SPECIFIED BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS YOU HEREAFTER DESIGNATE
     BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE COMPANY.

25.  Governing Plan Document. THIS OPTION IS SUBJECT TO ALL THE PROVISIONS OF
     THE PLAN, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO AND ITS PROVISIONS ARE HEREBY
     MADE A PART OF THIS OPTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROVISIONS OF
     SECTION 6 OF THE PLAN RELATING TO OPTION PROVISIONS, AND IS FURTHER SUBJECT
     TO ALL INTERPRETATIONS, AMENDMENTS, RULES AND REGULATIONS WHICH MAY FROM
     TIME TO TIME BE PROMULGATED AND ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN. IN THE EVENT
     OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS OPTION AND THOSE OF THE
     PLAN, THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN SHALL CONTROL.

26.  Right of First Refusal. NO OPTIONEE SHALL SELL, ASSIGN, PLEDGE, OR IN ANY
     MANNER TRANSFER ANY OF THE SHARES OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY OR ANY RIGHT OR
     INTEREST THEREIN, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, OR BY GIFT OR
     OTHERWISE, EXCEPT BY A TRANSFER WHICH MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH
     HEREIN:

     (a) If the optionee desires to sell or otherwise transfer any of its shares
of stock acquired upon exercise of this option in an "arms-length" transaction,
then the optionee shall first give written notice thereof to the Company. The
notice shall name the proposed transferee and state the number of shares to be
transferred, the proposed consideration, and all other terms and conditions of
the proposed transfer.

     (b) For thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Company
shall have the option to purchase all (by not less than all) of the shares
specified in the notice at the price and upon the terms set forth in such
notice; provided, however, that, with the consent of the optionee, the Company
shall have the option to purchase a lesser portion of the shares specified in
said notice at the price and upon the terms set forth therein. In the event of a
gift, property settlement or other transfer which would not be considered to
have been made on an "arms length" basis and in which the proposed transferee is
not paying the full price for the shares, the price shall be

                                       6
<PAGE>   23

deemed to be the Fair Market Value of the stock at such time as determined in
good faith by the Board. In the event the Company elects to purchase all of the
shares or, with consent of the optionee, a lesser portion of the shares, it
shall give written notice to the transferring optionee of its election and
settlement for said shares shall be made as provided below in paragraph (d).

     (c) The Company may assign its rights hereunder.

     (d) In the event the Company and/or its assignee(s) elect to acquire any of
the shares of the transferring optionee as specified in said transferring
optionee's notice, the Secretary of the Company shall so notify the transferring
optionee and settlement thereof shall be made in cash within thirty (30) days
after the Secretary of the Company receives said transferring optionee's notice;
provided that if the terms of payment set forth in said transferring optionee's
notice were other than cash against delivery, the Company and/or its assignee(s)
shall pay for said shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in said
transferring optionee's notice.

     (e) In the event the Company and/or its assignees(s) do not elect to
acquire all of the shares specified in the transferring optionee's notice, said
transferring optionee may, within the sixty (60)-day period following the
expiration of the option rights granted to the Company and/or its assignees(s)
herein, transfer the shares specified in said transferring optionee's notice
which were not acquired by the Company and/or its assignees(s) as specified in
said transferring optionee's notice.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
following transaction shall be exempt from the provisions of this paragraph 13:
an optionee's bona fide pledge or mortgage of any shares with a commercial
lending institution, provided that any subsequent transfer of said shares by
said institution shall be conducted in the manner set forth in this paragraph
13.

     In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall
receive and hold such stock subject to the provisions of this paragraph 13, and
there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accord with this
paragraph 13.

     (g) The provisions of this paragraph 13 may be waived with respect to any
transfer either by the Company, upon duly authorized action of its Board, or by
the stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority
of the voting power of the Company (excluding the votes represented by those
shares to be transferred by the transferring optionee).

     (h) Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, of securities of
the Company shall be null and void unless the terms, conditions, and provisions
of this paragraph 13 are strictly observed and followed.

     (i) The foregoing right of first refusal shall terminate upon the date
securities of the Company are first offered to the public pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the
Securities Act.

     (j) The certificates representing shares of stock of the Company shall bear
on their face the following legend so long as the foregoing right of first
refusal remains in effect:

Company's compensatory benefit plan for participation of the Company's employees
(including officers), directors or consultants and is intended to comply with
the provisions of (i) Rule 701 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") and (ii) Section 25102(o) of the California Corporate
Securities Law of 1968. Defined terms not explicitly defined in this agreement

Common Stock on the date of grant of this option.

     (b) METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price per share is due in
full upon exercise of all or any part of each installment which has accrued to
you. You may elect, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, to make payment of the exercise price under one of the following
alternatives:

          (1) Payment of the exercise price per share in cash (including check)
at the time of exercise;

          (2) Payment pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board which, prior to the issuance of Common
Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the
receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the
Company from the sales proceeds;

<PAGE>   27

          (3) Provided that at the time of exercise the Company's Common Stock
is publicly traded and quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal, payment by
delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock, held for the period required

          (1) Not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate exercise
price shall be due at the time of exercise, not less than twenty-five percent
(25%) of said exercise price, plus accrued interest, shall be due each year
after the date of exercise, and final payment of the remainder of the exercise
price, plus accrued interest, shall be due three (3) years from date of exercise
or, at the Company's election, upon termination of your Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company;

          (2) Interest shall be payable at least annually and shall be charged
at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest,
under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any portion of any amounts other

part of your written notice of exercise, give notice of the election of this
payment alternative and, in order to secure the payment of the deferred exercise
price to the Company hereunder, if the Company so requests, you must tender to

the form provided by the Company with a vesting schedule that will result in the
same vesting as if no early exercise had occurred.

     (b) EXPIRATION OF EARLY EXERCISE ELECTION. The election provided in this
paragraph 4 to purchase shares upon the exercise of this option prior to the
vesting dates shall cease upon termination of your Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company

     EXPIRATION DATE. THIS OPTION SHALL TERMINATE PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE
     AS FOLLOWS: THREE MONTHS AFTER JANUARY 1, 1998 IF THE TERMINATION OF YOUR
     CONTINUOUS STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT WITH THE COMPANY
     OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY OCCURS PRIOR TO JANUARY 1, 1998, OR THREE
     MONTHS AFTER THE TERMINATION OF YOUR CONTINUOUS STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE,
     DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT WITH THE COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY IF

of Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant.

     (d) If your exercise of the option within three (3) months after
termination of your Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant
with the Company or with an Affiliate of the Company would result in liability
under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then your option
will expire on the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date set forth above, (ii) the
tenth (10th) day after the last date upon which exercise would result in such
liability or (iii) six (6) months and ten (10) days after the termination of

     However, this option may be exercised following termination of Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant only as to that number of shares
as to which it was exercisable on the date of termination of Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant under the provisions of paragraph 2 of
this option.

34.  EXERCISE.

     (a) This option may be exercised, to the extent specified above, by
delivering a notice of exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together

as the Company may designate, during regular business hours, together with such
additional documents as the Company may then require pursuant to subsection 6(f)
of the Plan.

     (b) By exercising this option you agree that:

          (1) as a precondition to the completion of any exercise of this
option, the Company may require you to enter an arrangement providing for the
payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company
arising by reason of (1) the exercise of this option; (2) the lapse of any
substantial risk of forfeiture to which the shares are subject at the time of

39.  RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. NO OPTIONEE SHALL SELL, ASSIGN, PLEDGE, OR IN ANY
     MANNER TRANSFER ANY OF THE SHARES OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY OR ANY RIGHT OR
     INTEREST THEREIN, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, OR BY GIFT OR
     OTHERWISE, EXCEPT BY A TRANSFER WHICH MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH
     HEREIN:

     (a) If the optionee desires to sell or otherwise transfer any of his shares
of stock acquired upon exercise of this option in an "arms-length" transaction,
then the optionee shall first give written notice thereof to the Company. The
notice shall name the proposed transferee and state the number of shares to be
transferred, the proposed consideration, and all other terms and conditions of
the proposed transfer.

     (b) For thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the Company
shall have the option to purchase all (by not less than all) of the shares
specified in the notice at the price and upon the terms set forth in such
notice; provided, however, that, with the consent of the optionee, the Company
shall have the option to purchase a lesser portion of the shares specified in
said notice at the price and upon the terms set forth therein. In the event of a
gift, property settlement or other transfer which would not be considered to
have been made on an "arms-length" basis and in which the proposed transferee is
not paying the full price for the shares, the price shall be deemed to be the
Fair Market Value of the stock at such time as determined in good faith by the
Board. In the event the Company elects to purchase all of the shares or, with
consent of the

                                       5
<PAGE>   31

optionee, a lesser portion of the shares, it shall give written notice to the
transferring optionee of its election and settlement for said shares shall be
made as provided below in paragraph (d).

     (c) The Company may assign its rights hereunder.

     (d) In the event the Company and/or its assignee(s) elect to acquire any of
the shares of the transferring optionee as specified in said transferring
optionee's notice, the Secretary of the Company shall so notify the transferring
optionee and settlement thereof shall be made in cash within thirty (30) days
after the Secretary of the Company receives said transferring optionee's notice;
provided that if the terms of payment set forth in said transferring optionee's
notice were other than cash against delivery, the Company and/or its assignee(s)
shall pay for said shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in said
transferring optionee's notice.

     (e) In the event the Company and/or its assignees(s) do not elect to
acquire all of the shares specified in the transferring optionee's notice, said
transferring optionee may, within the sixty (60)-day period following the
expiration of the option rights granted to the Company and/or its assignees(s)
herein, transfer the shares specified in said transferring optionee's notice
which were not acquired by the Company and/or its assignees(s) as specified in
said transferring optionee's notice.

     (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
following transaction shall be exempt from the provisions of this paragraph 13:
a optionee's bona fide pledge or mortgage of any shares with a commercial
lending institution, provided that any subsequent transfer of said shares by
said institution shall be conducted in the manner set forth in this paragraph
13.

     In any such case, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall
receive and hold such stock subject to the provisions of this paragraph 13, and
there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accord with this
paragraph 13.

     (g) The provisions of this paragraph 13 may be waived with respect to any
transfer either by the Company, upon duly authorized action of its Board, or by
the stockholders, upon the express written consent of the owners of a majority
of the voting power of the Company (excluding the votes represented by those
shares to be transferred by the transferring optionee).

     (h) Any sale or transfer, or purported sale or transfer, of securities of
the Company shall be null and void unless the terms, conditions, and provisions
of this paragraph 13 are strictly observed and followed.

     (i) The foregoing right of first refusal shall terminate upon the date
securities of the Company are first offered to the public pursuant to a
registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the
Securities Act.

refusal remains in effect:

         I hereby make the following certifications and representations with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), which are being
acquired by me for my own account upon exercise of the Option as set forth
above:

         I acknowledge that the Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and are deemed to
constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 701 and Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act. I warrant and represent to the Company that I have no
present intention of distributing or selling said Shares, except as permitted
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

         I further acknowledge that I will not be able to resell the Shares for
at least ninety (90) days after the stock of the Company becomes publicly traded
(i.e., subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) under Rule 701 and that more
restrictive conditions apply to affiliates of the Company under Rule 144.

         I further acknowledge that all certificates representing any of the
Shares subject to the provisions of the Option shall have endorsed thereon
appropriate legends reflecting the foregoing limitations, as well as any legends
reflecting restrictions pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws and/or applicable securities laws.

         I further agree that, if required by the Company (or a representative
of the underwriters) in connection with the first underwritten registration of
the offering of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act, I will
not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company during such period (not to exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days following the effective date of the registration statement of the
Company filed under the Securities Act as may be requested by the Company or
representatives of the underwriters. I further agree that the Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing
restrictions until the end of such period.

                                       Very truly yours,
