Systems, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan, which was later amended in February 1996.
In February 1996, the Board of Directors adopted the Siebel Systems, Inc. 1996

and restated both of the above plans in the form of this 1996 Equity Incentive
Plan. The Plan was amended on October 14, 1996 to increase the number of shares

changes in Rule 16b-3. The Plan was again amended on August 23, 1999 to increase
the number of shares subject to the Plan.

Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iii) stock bonuses, (iv) rights to purchase
restricted stock, and (v) stock appreciation rights, all as defined below.

maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates.

(c) The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the
Plan shall, in the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which

including Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, (ii) stock
bonuses or rights to purchase restricted stock granted pursuant to Section 7
hereof, or (iii) stock appreciation rights granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

Award shall be granted; whether a Stock Award will be an Incentive Stock Option,
a Nonstatutory Stock Option, a stock bonus, a right to purchase restricted

provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including

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 Stock Award Agreement,

Plan fully effective.

(3) To amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in Section

as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the

administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board (and
references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee),
subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may
abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of
the Plan.

(d) Any requirement that an administrator of the Plan be a
Disinterested Person shall not apply if the Board or the Committee expressly
declares that such requirement shall not apply. Any Disinterested Person shall
otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3.

adjustments upon changes in stock, the stock that may be issued pursuant to
Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate two hundred twenty million (220,000,000)
shares of the Company's common stock. If any Stock Award shall for any reason
expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been
exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such Stock Award shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the Plan. Shares subject to Stock
Appreciation Rights exercised in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan shall not

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

5. Eligibility.

Stock 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, or in the case of a restricted stock purchase
award, the purchase price is at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value of such stock at the date of grant.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 13 relating to
adjustments upon changes in stock, following the expiration of the extended
reliance period for compliance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) set
forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27(f)(2), no person shall be
eligible to be granted Options covering more than eight million (8,000,000) shares
of the Company's common stock in any calendar year.

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.

(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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive 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
of the Company, (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 of the Company) 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 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
amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment
arrangement.

(d) Transferability. An Incentive Stock 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 Incentive
Stock Option is granted only by such person. A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall
only be transferable by the Optionee upon such terms and conditions as are set
forth in the Option Agreement for such Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board
or the Committee shall determine in its discretion, except that each
Nonstatutory Stock Option may be transferred to the spouse, children, lineal
ancestors and lineal descendants of the Optionee (or to a trust created solely
for the benefit of the Optionee and the foregoing persons) or to an organization
exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Code or to which tax
deductible charitable contributions may be made under Section 170 of the Code
(excluding such organizations classified as private foundations under applicable
regulations and rulings). The person to whom an 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 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.

(f) 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 at the date of termination) but only within
such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after
the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement),
or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement. 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.

An Optionee's Option Agreement may also provide that if the
exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionee's Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director, or Consultant (other than upon the Optionee's
death or disability) would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the term of the Option set forth in the Option Agreement, or (ii)
the tenth (10th) day after the last date on which such exercise would result in
such liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Finally, an Optionee's
Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following
the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability) would be
prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the
registration requirements under the Act, then the Option shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in the first
paragraph of this subsection 6(f), or (ii) the expiration of a period of three
(3) months after the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant during which the exercise of the Option would
not be in violation of such registration requirements.

(g) 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 at 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 or
shorter period 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 shares covered by such Option shall
revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(h) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an
Optionee during, or within a period specified in the Option 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 at 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 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.

(i) 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 may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of
the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be
appropriate.

(j) Re-Load Options. Without in any way limiting the
authority of the Board or Committee to make or not to make grants of Options
hereunder, the Board or Committee shall have the authority (but not an
obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a provision entitling the
Optionee to a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionee
exercises the Option evidenced by the Option agreement, in whole or in part, by
surrendering other shares of common stock in accordance with this Plan and the
terms and conditions of the Option Agreement. Any such Re-Load Option (i) shall
be for a number of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered as part or
all of the exercise price of such Option; (ii) shall have an expiration date
which is the same as the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which
gave rise to such Re-Load Option; and (iii) shall have an exercise price which
is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the common
stock subject to the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original
Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Re-Load Option which is an Incentive
Stock Option and which is granted to a 10% shareholder (as described in
subsection 5(c)), shall have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Re-Load
Option on the date of exercise of the original Option and shall have a term
which is no longer than five (5) years.

Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, as the Board or Committee may designate at the time
of the grant of the original Option; provided, however, that the designation of
any Re-Load Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one
hundred thousand dollar ($100,000) annual limitation on exercisability of
Incentive Stock Options described in subsection 12(d) of the Plan and in Section
422(d) of the Code. There shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option. Any
such Re-Load Option shall be subject to the availability of sufficient shares
under subsection 4(a) and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as
the Board or Committee may determine which are not inconsistent with the express
provisions of the Plan regarding the terms of Options.

7. Terms of Stock Bonuses and Purchases of Restricted Stock.

Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall
be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms
and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each stock
bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise)
the substance of each of the following provisions as appropriate:

(a) Purchase Price. The purchase price under each
restricted stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or
Committee shall determine and designate in such agreement but in no event shall
the purchase price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair
Market Value on the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board or the Committee may determine that eligible participants in the Plan may
be awarded stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit.

(b) Transferability. No rights under a stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3 and any administrative
interpretations or pronouncements thereunder, so long as stock awarded under
such agreement remains subject to the terms of the agreement.

(c) Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired
pursuant to a stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the
time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee,
according to a deferred payment or other arrangement with the person to whom the
stock is sold; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board or the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board or the Committee to which administration of the Plan has
been delegated may award stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in
consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or for its
benefit.

(d) Vesting. Shares of stock sold or awarded under the
Plan may, but need not, be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the
Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or
the Committee.

(e) Termination of Employment or Relationship as a Director
or Consultant. In the event a Participant's Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant terminates, the Company may repurchase or
otherwise reacquire any or all of the shares of stock held by that person which
have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus
or restricted stock purchase agreement between the Company and such person.

8. Terms of Restricted Stock Units ("RSU").

Each RSU agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such
terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee shall deem appropriate. The
terms and conditions of RSU agreements may change from time to time, and the
terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each RSU
agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference
in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions
as appropriate:

(a) Consideration. No consideration shall be required
for the grant of an RSU award; provided, however, that the Board, or the
Committee to which administration of the Plan has been delegated, must condition
the issuance of stock pursuant to an RSU agreement upon the recipient of the RSU
award actually rendering services to the Company or for its benefit. 

(b) Transferability. No rights under an RSU agreement
shall be transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, so long as stock to be awarded
under such agreement remains subject to the terms of the agreement. 

(c) Vesting. Shares of stock granted pursuant to an RSU
award must be subject to a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the
Committee. 

(d) Termination of Employment or Relationship as a Director
or Consultant. In the event a Participant's Continuous Status as an
Employee, Director or Consultant terminates, the shares of stock subject to an
RSU award that are not vested under the terms of the RSU agreement between the
Company and such person shall be forfeited and shall not be issued to the
Employee, Director or Consultant. 

9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a) The Board or Committee shall have full power and authority,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the
Plan to Employees, Directors of and Consultants to the Company or its
Affiliates. To exercise any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right, the holder
must provide written notice of exercise to the Company in compliance with the
provisions of the Stock Award Agreement evidencing such right. If a Stock
Appreciation Right is granted to an individual who is at the time subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (a "Section 16(b) Insider"), the Stock Award
Agreement of grant shall incorporate all the terms and conditions at the time
necessary to assure that the subsequent exercise of such right shall qualify for
the safe-harbor exemption from short-swing profit liability provided by Rule
16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation).
Except as provided in subsection 5(d), no limitation shall exist on the
aggregate amount of cash payments the Company may make under the Plan in
connection with the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.

(b) Three types of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
authorized for issuance under the Plan:

(1) Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights will be granted appurtenant to an Option, and shall, except
as specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same terms and
conditions applicable to the particular Option grant to which it pertains.
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights will require the holder to elect between the
exercise of the underlying Option for shares of stock and the surrender, in
whole or in part, of such Option for an appreciation distribution. The
appreciation distribution payable on the exercised Tandem Right shall be in cash
(or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of stock based on Fair
Market Value on the date of the Option surrender) in an amount up to the excess
of (A) the Fair Market Value (on the date of the Option surrender) of the number
of shares of stock covered by that portion of the surrendered Option in which
the Optionee is vested over (B) the aggregate exercise price payable for such
vested shares.

(2) Concurrent Stock Appreciation Rights. Concurrent
Rights will be granted appurtenant to an Option and may apply to all or any
portion of the shares of stock subject to the underlying Option and shall,
except as specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same terms
and conditions applicable to the particular Option grant to which it pertains. A
Concurrent Right shall be exercised automatically at the same time the
underlying Option is exercised with respect to the particular shares of stock to
which the Concurrent Right pertains. The appreciation distribution payable on an
exercised Concurrent Right shall be in cash (or, if so provided, in an
equivalent number of shares of stock based on Fair Market Value on the date of
the exercise of the Concurrent Right) in an amount equal to such portion as
shall be determined by the Board or the Committee at the time of the grant of
the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the exercise
of the Concurrent Right) of the vested shares of stock purchased under the
underlying Option which have Concurrent Rights appurtenant to them over (B) the
aggregate exercise price paid for such shares.

(3) Independent Stock Appreciation Rights. Independent
Rights will be granted independently of any Option and shall, except as
specifically set forth in this Section 8, be subject to the same terms and
conditions applicable to Nonstatutory Stock Options as set forth in Section 6.
They shall be denominated in share equivalents. The appreciation distribution
payable on the exercised Independent Right shall be not greater than an amount
equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of the
exercise of the Independent Right) of a number of shares of Company stock equal
to the number of share equivalents in which the holder is vested under such
Independent Right, and with respect to which the holder is exercising the
Independent Right on such date, over (B) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the
date of the grant of the Independent Right) of such number of shares of Company
stock. The appreciation distribution payable on the exercised Independent Right
shall be in cash or, if so provided, in an equivalent number of shares of stock
based on Fair Market Value on the date of the exercise of the Independent
Right.

10. Cancellation and Re-Grant of Options.

(a) The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to
effect, at any time and from time to time, (i) the repricing of any outstanding
Options and/or any Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan and/or (ii) with the
consent of any adversely affected holders of Options and/or Stock Appreciation
Rights, the cancellation of any outstanding Options and/or any Stock
Appreciation Rights under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of (A)
new Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan covering the same or
different numbers of shares of stock, but having an exercise price per share not
less than: eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value for a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option held by a
10% shareholder (as described in subsection 5(c)), not less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of stock on the new grant
date, (B) a stock bonus, (C) the right to acquire restricted stock, (D) cash
and/or (E) other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board, in its sole
discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the Committee may grant
an Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price lower than that
set forth above if such Option and/or Stock Appreciation Right is granted as
part of a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies.

(b) Shares subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right
canceled under this Section 9 shall continue to be counted against the maximum
award of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights permitted to be granted pursuant
to subsection 5(d) of the Plan. The repricing of an Option and/or Stock
Appreciation Right under this Section 9, resulting in a reduction of the
exercise price, shall be deemed to be a cancellation of the original Option
and/or Stock Appreciation Right and the grant of a substitute Option and/or
Stock Appreciation Right; in the event of such repricing, both the original and
the substituted Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against
the maximum awards of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights permitted to be
granted pursuant to subsection 5(d) of the Plan. The provisions of this
subsection 9(b) shall be applicable only to the extent required by Section
162(m) of the Code.

11. Covenants of the Company.

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

(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 Stock Award;
provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
either the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Stock Award. 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 Stock Awards unless and until such authority is
obtained.

12. Use of Proceeds from Stock.

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

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at
which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock
Award or any part thereof will vest pursuant to subsection 6(e), 7(d) or 8(b),
notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it
may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

(b) Neither an Employee, Director or Consultant, nor any person
to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the Plan, shall be
deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with
respect to, any shares subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person
has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
terms.

(c) Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock
Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director or
Consultant or other holder of Stock Awards 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 notice and with or
without cause, the right of the Company's Board of Directors and/or the
Company's shareholders to remove any Director pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Bylaws and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
the right to terminate the relationship of any Consultant pursuant to the terms
of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or Affiliate.

(d) 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.

(e) The Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is
granted, or any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with
the Plan, as a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Stock Award,
(1) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person'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 Stock Award; and (2) to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is
acquiring the stock subject to the Stock Award 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 or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award 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, 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.

(f) To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award
Agreement, the person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal,
state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or
acquisition of stock under a Stock Award 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 the common stock otherwise
issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock
under the Stock Award; or (3) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered
shares of the common stock of the Company.

14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock.

(a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or
subject to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company
(through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, 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
class(es) and maximum number of shares subject to the Plan pursuant to
subsection 4(a) and the maximum number of shares subject to award to any person
during any calendar year pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock
Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and
price per share of stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. Such
adjustments shall be made by the Board or the 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
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 the Company's
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 to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any
surviving corporation or an Affiliate of such surviving corporation shall assume
any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar Stock
Awards for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) such Stock Awards shall
continue in full force and effect. In the event any surviving corporation and
its Affiliates refuse to assume or continue such Stock Awards, or to substitute
similar options for those outstanding under the Plan, then, with respect to
Stock Awards held by persons then performing services as Employees, Directors or
Consultants, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised shall be
accelerated and the Stock Awards terminated if not exercised prior to such
event.

15. Amendment of the Plan and Stock Awards.

(a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
Plan. However, except as provided in Section 13 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the
shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the
adoption of the amendment, where the amendment will:

(i) Increase the number of shares reserved for Stock Awards
under the Plan;

(ii) Modify the requirements as to eligibility for
participation in the Plan (to the extent such modification requires shareholder
approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code); or

(iii) Modify the Plan in any other way if such modification
requires shareholder approval in order for the Plan to satisfy the requirements
of Section 422 of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Rule
16b-3.

(b) The Board may in its sole discretion submit any other
amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not limited to,
amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder regarding the exclusion of
performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of
compensation paid to certain executive officers.

(c) It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the
Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible
Employees, Directors or Consultants 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 Stock Award 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 Stock Award 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 Stock Award; provided, however, that the rights and
obligations under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment
unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock
Award was granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.

16. 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 ten (10) years from the date
the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by the shareholders of the Company,
whichever is earlier. No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the
Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

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

17. Effective Date of Plan.

The Plan shall become effective on the effective date of the
registration statement with respect to the Company's initial public offering of
shares of common stock, but no Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall be
exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the
Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the
date the Plan is adopted by the Board.exhibit10

	To amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in Section 11.

      Company which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.
      

    	The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee
    composed of one or more members of the Board (the "Committee"). If
    administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
    connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore
    possessed by the Board (and references in this Plan to the Board shall
    thereafter be to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not
    inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to
    time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and
    revest in the Board the administration of the Plan.

  

  	Shares Subject to the Plan.
  

  

    

	Subject to the provisions of Section 11 relating to adjustments upon
    changes in stock, the number of shares of stock that may be issued pursuant
    to Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate two hundred forty million
    (240,000,000) shares of the Company's common stock. If any Stock Award shall
    for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without
    having been exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such Stock Award
    shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.
    

    

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

  	Eligibility.
  

  Stock Awards may be granted only to Employees or Consultants
  who are not (i) Officers (other than vice presidents of the Company), (ii)
  Directors, or (iii) then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Provided
  however, that the aggregate number of shares made subject to Stock Awards
  granted to eligible Officers cannot exceed the number necessary to preserve
  the treatment of the Plan as a "broadly based" plan within the meaning of Rule
  4460(i)(1)(A) of the Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers,
  Inc.

  

  
	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:

  

    

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

    

    
	Price. 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.
    

    

    
	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 of the
    Company, (B) according to a deferred payment arrangement, except that
    payment of the common stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware
    General Corporation Law) shall not be made by deferred payment or other
    arrangement (which may include, without limiting the generality of the
    foregoing, the use of other common stock of the Company) 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 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 amounts other than amounts stated
    to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement.

    

    
	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) unless the applicable Option Agreement expressly provides for other
    transferability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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.
    

    

    
	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. 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.
    

    

    
	Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the
    event an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee 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, unless the Option
    Agreement expressly provides that the Option may become exercisable for
    additional shares after 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 or Consultant
    (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or
    (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
    Agreement. 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.
    

    An Optionee's Option Agreement may also provide that if the
    exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionee's
    Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant (other than upon the
    Optionee's death or disability) would result in liability under Section
    16(b) of the Exchange Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of
    (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in the Option
    Agreement, or (ii) the tenth (10th) day after the last date on which such
    exercise would result in such liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
    Act. Finally, an Optionee's Option Agreement may also provide that if the
    exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionee's
    Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant (other than upon the
    Optionee's death or disability) would be prohibited at any time solely
    because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements
    under the Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
    expiration of the term of the Option set forth in the first paragraph of
    this subsection 6(f), or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months
    after the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or
    Consultant during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation
    of such registration requirements.

    

    
	Disability of Optionee. In the event an Optionee's Continuous
    Status as an Employee 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,
    unless the Option Agreement expressly provides that the Option may become
    exercisable for additional shares after the date of termination), but only
    within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date six (6)
    months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period
    specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of
    the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. 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 and again become available for issuance under the Plan.
    

    

    
	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 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, 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 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.
    

  	Terms of Stock Bonuses and Purchases of Restricted Stock.
  

  Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall
  be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or
  the Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of stock bonus
  or restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the
  terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each
  stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through
  incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise)
  the substance of each of the following provisions as appropriate:

  

    

	Purchase Price. The purchase price under each restricted stock
    purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or Committee shall
    determine and designate in such agreement, but in no event shall the
    purchase price be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair
    Market Value on the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
    the Board or the Committee may determine that eligible participants in the
    Plan may be awarded stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in
    consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or for its
    benefit.
    

    

    
	Transferability. No rights under a stock bonus or restricted
    stock purchase agreement shall be transferable except by will or the laws of
    descent and distribution, unless the applicable Stock Award Agreement
    expressly provides for other transferability.
    

    

    
	Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to a
    stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of
    purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, according to
    a deferred payment or other arrangement, except that payment of the common
    stock's "par value" (as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law)
    shall not be made by deferred payment or other arrangement (which may
    include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other
    common stock of the Company) with the person to whom the stock is sold; or
    (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
    Board or the Committee in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
    Board or the Committee to which administration of the Plan has been
    delegated may award stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in
    consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or for its
    benefit.
    

    

    
	Vesting. Shares of stock sold or awarded under the Plan may, but
    need not, be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company in
    accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the
    Committee.
    

    

    
	Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the
    event a participant's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant
    terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire, subject to
    the limitations described in subsection 7(d), any or all of the shares of
    stock held by that person which have not vested as of the date of
    termination under the terms of the stock bonus or restricted stock purchase
    agreement between the Company and such person.
    

  	Terms of Restricted Stock Units ("RSU").
  

  Each RSU agreement shall be in such form and shall contain
  such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee shall deem
  appropriate. The terms and conditions of RSU agreements may change from time
  to time, and the terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be
  identical, but each RSU agreement shall include (through incorporation of
  provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of
  each of the following provisions as appropriate:

  

    

	Consideration. No consideration shall be required for the grant
    of an RSU; provided, however, that the Board, or the Committee to which
    administration of the Plan has been delegated, must condition the issuance
    of stock pursuant to a RSU agreement upon the recipient of the RSU award
    actually rendering services to the Company or for its benefit.
    

    

    
	Transferability. No rights under an RSU agreement shall be
    transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or
    pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, so long as stock to be
    awarded under such agreement remains subject to the terms of the agreement.
    

    

    
	Vesting. Shares of stock granted pursuant to an RSU award must be
    subject to a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the
Committee.
    

    

    
	Termination of Employment or Relationship as a Director or
    Consultant. In the event a Participant's Continuous Status as an
    Employee, Director or Consultant terminates, the shares of stock subject to
    an RSU award that are not vested under the terms of the RSU agreement
    between the Company and such person shall be forfeited and shall not be
    issued to the Employee, Director or Consultant.
    

  	Covenants of the Company.
  

  

    

	During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep
    available at all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy
    such Stock Awards.
    

    

    
	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 Stock Award;
    provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to
    register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
    either the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to
    any such Stock Award. 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 Stock Awards unless
    and until such authority is obtained.
    

  	Use of Proceeds from Stock.
  

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

  

  
	Miscellaneous.
  

  

    

	The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a
    Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or
    any part thereof will vest pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 7(d),
    notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which
    it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.
    

    

    
	Neither an Employee or Consultant, nor any person to whom a Stock
    Award is transferred under subsection 6(d) or 7(b) shall be deemed to be the
    holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any
    shares subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person has
    satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
    terms.
    

    

    
	Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award
    granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Consultant or other
    holder of Stock Awards any right to continue in the employ of the Company or
    any Affiliate (or to continue acting as a Consultant) or shall affect the
    right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment of any
    Employee with or without cause, or to terminate the relationship of any
    Consultant in accordance with the terms of that Consultant's agreement with
    the Company or Affiliate to which such Consultant is providing services.
    

    

    
	Securities Law Compliance. The Company may require any person to
    whom a Stock Award is granted, or any person to whom a Stock Award is
    transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d) or 7(b), as a condition of
    exercising or acquiring stock under any Stock Award, (1) to give written
    assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person'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 Stock Award; and (2) to give written
    assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is acquiring
    the stock subject to the Stock Award 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 or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award 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 holder of the Stock Award 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 a Stock Award to such person or
    permitting the holder of the Stock Award to exercise the Stock Award. 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.
    

    

    
	Withholding. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award
    Agreement, the person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any
    federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise
    or acquisition of stock under a Stock Award 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 the common
    stock otherwise issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise or
    acquisition of stock under the Stock Award; or (3) delivering to the Company
    owned and unencumbered shares of the common stock of the Company.
    

  	Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock.
  

  

    

	If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject
    to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company
    (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
    reincorporation, 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 class(es) and the maximum number of shares subject to the Plan pursuant
    to subsection 4(a), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately
    adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock
    subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. Such adjustments shall be made by
    the Board or the 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.")
    

    

    
	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; (3) a
    reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the
    shares of the Company's 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 to the extent permitted by
    applicable law: (i) any surviving corporation or an Affiliate of such
    surviving corporation shall assume any Stock Awards outstanding under the
    Plan or shall substitute similar Stock Awards for those outstanding under
    the Plan, or (ii) such Stock Awards shall continue in full force and effect.
    In the event any surviving corporation and its Affiliates refuse to assume
    or continue such Stock Awards, or to substitute similar Stock Awards for
    those outstanding under the Plan, then, with respect to Stock Awards held by
    persons then performing services as Employees or Consultants, the time
    during which such Stock Awards may be exercised shall be accelerated and the
    Stock Awards terminated if not exercised prior to such event.
    

  	Amendment of the Plan and Stock Awards.
  

  

    

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

    

    
	The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit the Plan and/or any
    amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.
    

    

    
	It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in
    any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide those eligible
    with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of
    the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
    

    

    
	Rights and obligations under any Stock Award 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 Stock
    Award was granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.
    

    

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

  	Termination or Suspension of the Plan.
  

  

    

	The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Stock
    Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it
    is terminated.
    

    

    
	Rights and obligations under any Stock Award 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 Stock Award was
    granted.
    

  	Effective Date of Plan.
  

The Plan shall become effective on October 28, 1998.
