II.      AGREEMENT

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

         2.       Exercise of Option.

                  (a)      Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during
its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant
and the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

                  (b)      Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by
delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise
Notice"), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised
Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by
the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall be
completed by the Optionee and delivered to the Company's Stock Plan
Administration Department. The 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 such aggregate Exercise Price. The Optionee may
also exercise this Option pursuant to a cashless exercise program as may be
implemented from time to time by the Company.

                  No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this
Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming
such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be
considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with
respect to such Exercised Shares.

         3.       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:

                                                                             -2-

<PAGE>

                  (a)      cash;

                  (b)      check;

                  (c)      consideration received by the Company under a
cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the
Plan; or

                  (d)      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.

         4.       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 and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the
Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

         5.       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 Agreement.

         6.       Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences
relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

                  (a)      Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular
federal income tax liability upon 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 Exercised
Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price. If the
Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to
withhold from his or her 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)      Disposition of Shares. If the Optionee holds NSO
Shares 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.

         7.       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

                                                                             -3-

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 California.

         8.       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 AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING 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 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.

         By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative
below, you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed
by the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. Optionee has
reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option
Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Option Agreement.
Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions
or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions relating to the Plan
and Option Agreement. Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any
change in the residence address indicated below.

Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that number of Shares having a
Fair Market Value equal to the minimum 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 the
Optionee 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>

                                    (9)      to make all other determinations
deemed necessary or advisable.

         4.       Exercise of Option.

                  (a)      Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during
its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant
and the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

                  (b)      Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by
delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise
Notice"), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised
Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by
the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be completed by the Optionee and
delivered to Secretary of the Company. The 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 such aggregate Exercise Price.

                  (c)      Legal Compliance. No Shares shall be issued pursuant
to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with
Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised
Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is
exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares.

                  (d)      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.

         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;

                  (b)      consideration received by the Company under a
cashless exercise program implemented by the Company (if permitted by the
Administrator); or

                  (c)      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.       Non-Transferability of Option. Unless determined otherwise by
the Administrator, this Option 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 this Option transferable, this
Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator
deems appropriate.

                                                                             -5-

<PAGE>

         7.       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 terms of this Agreement.

         8.       Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If the
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (other than for death or Disability),
this Option may be exercised for a period of three (3) months after the date of
such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of this Option
as set forth in the Notice of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on
the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee does not exercise
this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

         9.       Disability of Optionee. If the Optionee ceases to be a Service
Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, this Option may be exercised
for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of such termination (but in no
event later than the expiration date of this Option as set forth in the Notice
of Grant) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such
termination. To the extent that Optionee does not exercise this Option within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

         10.      Death of Optionee. If the Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by
a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise
the Option at the date of death. If, after death, the Optionee's estate or a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance
does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

         11.      Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution,
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 this Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been
authorized for issuance under this Agreement, 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 number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that 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 this Option.

                  (b)      Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall
notify the Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such
proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for the
Optionee to have the right to exercise this Option until ten (10) days prior to
such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including
Shares as to which the Option would not

                                                                             -6-

<PAGE>

otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any
Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an
Option 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 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, the Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option
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, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have
the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If the
Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of 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 shall be fully
exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and
the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes
of this paragraph, the Option shall be considered assumed if, following the
merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the
merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of
Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and
if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the merger 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, for each Share
of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

         12.      Amendment and Termination. The Administrator may amend or
modify this Agreement. No such amendment or modification shall impair the rights
of the Optionee, unless mutually agreed to between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and
the Company.

         13.      Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be addressed to the Company. at its then current
principal executive office or to such other address as the Company may hereafter
designate to the Optionee by notice as provided in this Section. Any notice to
be given to the Optionee hereunder shall be addressed to the Optionee at the
address set forth beneath his signature hereto, or at such other address as the
Optionee may hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A
notice shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or
mailed by registered or certified mail to the party entitled to receive it.

         14.      Tax Consequences. Some of the federal tax consequences
relating to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below.
THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

                                                                             -7-

THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

                  (a)      Exercising the Option. The Optionee may incur regular
federal income tax liability upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option (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 Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their
aggregate Exercise Price. If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee,
the Company will be required to withhold from his or her 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)      Disposition of Shares. Subject to applicable law at
the time of disposition of the Shares by the Optionee, if the Optionee has held
NSO Shares for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
may be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

         15.      Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This 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 California.

         16.      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 AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (AND
NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR PURCHASING 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 CONTINUES ENGAGEMENT AS A
SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL
NOT INTERFERE 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.

                                                                             -8-
