exercisable and be released from any forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the
specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, for all of the Shares at
the time represented by this Option. Effective upon the consummation of the

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event of a Change in Control

Option automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released
from any forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of
such Change in Control, for all of the Shares at the time represented by this
Option.

                  (d) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Option shall be exercisable only

election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which
the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by
the Board of Directors. The Exercise Notice shall be signed by the Grantee and
shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by such other method as
determined from time to time by the Board of Directors to the Company
accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the
Exercise Price, which, to the extent selected, shall be deemed to be satisfied
by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure to pay the Exercise
Price provided in Section 5(d), below.

                  (e) TAXES. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or other
person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person
has made arrangements acceptable to the Board of Directors for the satisfaction
of applicable income tax, employment tax, and social security tax withholding or
payment obligations or comparable tax obligations under all applicable
jurisdictions, including without limitation obligations incident to the receipt
of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company may offset or withhold (from
any amount owed by the Company to the Grantee) or collect from the Grantee or
other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax or withholding or payment
obligations.

         4. GRANTEE'S REPRESENTATIONS; CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE.

                  (a) The Grantee understands that neither the Option nor the
Shares exercisable pursuant to the Option have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any United States securities laws. In the
event the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Option have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time the
Option is exercised, the Grantee shall, if requested by the Company,
concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to
the Company his Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B and such other representations, warranties and covenants reasonably
requested by counsel for the Company.

                  (b) The Grantee is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Option. Grantee is
acquiring the Option and any Shares issued pursuant to this Option for
investment for Grantee's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

                  (c) The Shares further shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of this Option unless such Exercise and the issuance and delivery of
such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be
further subject to the reasonable approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

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

         5. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by
any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee;
provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any
Applicable Law:

                                       4
<PAGE>

                  (a) Cash;

                  (b) Check;

                  (c) Provided the Shares are then traded on a public market,
surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of
ownership of Shares as the Board of Directors may require (including withholding
of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option) which have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised (but only
to the extent that such exercise of the Option would not result in an accounting
compensation charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price);

                  (d) Provided the Shares are then traded on a public market,
payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which
the Grantee (i) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated
brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased
Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the
settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable
for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written directives to the
Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such
brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or

                  (e) Provided that the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of Shares being purchased exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), payment
pursuant to a promissory note as described below:

                             (i) The promissory note shall have a term of two
                  (2) years with principal and interest payable in two (2) equal
                  annual installments;

                             (ii) The promissory note shall bear interest at the
                  minimum rate required by the United States federal tax laws to
                  avoid the imputation of interest income to the Company and
                  compensation income to the Grantee;

                             (iii) The Grantee shall be personally liable for
                  payment of the promissory note and the promissory note shall
                  be secured by the Shares purchased upon delivery of the
                  promissory note, or such other collateral of equal or greater
                  value, in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors with
                  such documentation as the Board of Directors may request; and

                             (iv) The promissory note shall become due and
                  payable upon the occurrence of any or all of the following
                  events: (A) the sale or transfer of the Shares purchased with
                  the promissory note; (B) termination of the Grantee's
                  Directorship for any reason other than death or Disability; or
                  (C) the first anniversary of the termination of the Grantee's
                  Directorship due to death or Disability; or

                  (f) Any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

         6. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. The Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute
a violation of any Applicable Laws.

         7. TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF DIRECTORSHIP. In the event the Grantee's
Directorship terminates other than for cause under Applicable Law, the Grantee
may, to the extent otherwise so entitled at the date of such termination (the
"Termination Date"), exercise the Option during the Post-Termination Exercise
Period. In the event of termination of the Grantee's Directorship for cause
under Applicable Law, the Grantee's right to exercise the Option shall, except
as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, terminate concurrently with
the termination of the Directorship of Grantee. In no event shall the Option be
exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in the Notice. Except as
provided in

                                       5
<PAGE>

Sections 8 and 9 below, to the extent that the Grantee is not entitled to
exercise the Option on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise
the Option to the extent so entitled within the Post-Termination Exercise
Period, the Option shall terminate.

         8. DISABILITY OF GRANTEE. In the event the Grantee's Directorship
terminates as a result of his Disability, the Grantee may, but only within
twelve (12) months from the Termination Date (and in no event later than the
Expiration Date), exercise the Option to the extent he was otherwise entitled to
exercise it on the Termination Date. To the extent that the Grantee is not
entitled to exercise the Option on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does
not exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

         9. DEATH OF GRANTEE. In the event of the termination of the Grantee's
Directorship as a result of his death, or in the event of the Grantee's death
during the Post-Termination Exercise Period or during the twelve (12) month
period following the Grantee's termination of Directorship as a result of his
Disability, the Grantee's estate, or a person who acquired the right to exercise
the Option by bequest or inheritance, may exercise the Option, but only to the
extent the Grantee could exercise the Option at the Termination Date, within
twelve (12) months from the date of death (but in no event later than the
Expiration Date). To the extent that the Grantee is not entitled to exercise the
Option on the date of death, or if the Option is not exercised to the extent so
entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

         10. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may be transferred by Will,
by the laws of descent and distribution, and to the extent and in the manner
authorized by the Board of Directors, to members of the Grantee's immediate
family (as determined by the Board) or pursuant to a domestic relations order.
Subject to the foregoing restrictions, the terms of the Option shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Grantee.

         11. TERM OF OPTION. The Option may be exercised no later than the
Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise
provided herein.

         12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR CORPORATE
TRANSACTION. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company,
the number of Shares covered by this Option and the Exercise Price of the Shares
shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number
of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of such
Shares, or similar event affecting such Shares, (ii) any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company 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 of Directors and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as the Board of Directors determines in its discretion, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of
the Shares hereunder.

         13. STOP-TRANSFER NOTICES. In order to ensure compliance with the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Option Agreement or the Notice, the
Company may issue appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

         14. REFUSAL TO TRANSFER. The Company shall not be required (i) to
transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Option Agreement or (ii) to treat as
owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends or other
shareholders rights to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares
shall have been so transferred.

         15. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date
of this Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of
the Option and disposition of the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS
ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY GRANTEE OF
ANY SUCH CHANGES. THE GRANTEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUMMARY
DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION AND THE
DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

                  (a) EXERCISE OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION. On exercise of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Grantee will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the
Exercise Price. If the Grantee is an employee or a former employee of the
Company, the Company will be required to withhold from the Grantee's
compensation or collect from the Grantee 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 Shares are held for more than
one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
long-term capital gain and will be subject to tax at a maximum rate of 20
percent for federal income tax purposes.

         16. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.

                  (a) AGREEMENT. The Grantee, if requested by the Company and
the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock or other
securities of the Company (the "Lead Underwriter"), hereby irrevocably agrees
not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the
economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any interest in any Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to
purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public
offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the
180-day period following any registration date for shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company or any affiliate thereof or such shorter period
of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Grantee further agrees to
sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the
foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to such Common Stock subject until the end of such period. The Company
and the Grantee acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of
the Company's stock, during the period of such offering and for the 180-day
period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section.

                  (b) NO AMENDMENT WITHOUT CONSENT OF UNDERWRITER. During the
period from identification as a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public
offering of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company until the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period specified in Subsection (a)
hereof in connection with such offering or (ii) the abandonment of such offering
by the Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section may not
be amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.

         17. NO EFFECT ON TERMS OF RELATIONSHIP. The Agreement shall not confer
upon the Grantee any right with respect to future awards or continuation of his
Directorship or the establishment or continuation of any other relationship with
the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Grantee's right to
resign as a director or the right of the Company or the shareholders of the
Company to remove the Grantee as a director or otherwise, with or without cause.

         18. NO EFFECT ON RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS. Neither this
Option nor any Shares shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related
Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any
kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or
amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.

         19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: GOVERNING LAW. The Notice 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 the Grantee with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee's interest except by
means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice
or this Option Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to
confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The Notice
and this Option Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and governed by
the internal laws of the State of California (as permitted by Section 1646.5 of
the California Civil Code, or any similar successor provision) without giving
effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of California to the
rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the Notice or this
Option Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable,
such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by law and the
other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain
enforceable.

         20. HEADINGS. The captions used in the Notice and this Option Agreement
are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for
construction or interpretation.

         21. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given
in writing and by personal delivery or by an internationally recognized
commercial courier service or by deposit in the United States mail by certified
mail (if the parties are within the United States) or upon deposit for delivery
by an internationally recognized express mail courier service (for international
delivery of notice), with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to the other party
at its address as shown beneath its signature in the Notice, or to such other
address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the other
party; and shall be deemed effective on the date of delivery in person or by
courier or five (5) days after the date mailed.

GRANTEE:
                       -------------------------------------------

COMPANY:               uDate.com, Inc., a California corporation
            ("Company")

SECURITY:              _______________ shares of the Common Stock

AMOUNT:
                       -------------------------------------------

DATE:
                       -------------------------------------------

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

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

     (b) Grantee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
     "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
     registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
     therefrom, which exemption depends upon among other things, the bona fide
     nature of Grantee's investment intent as expressed herein. Grantee further
     understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are
     subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
     registration is available. Grantee further acknowledges and understands
     that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Grantee
     understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be
     imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities
     unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the
     opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.

     (c) Grantee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under
     the Securities Act, which in substance permit limited public resale of
     "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer
     thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
     conditions. Grantee further understands that in the event all of the
     applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under
     the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other
     registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact
     that Rules 144 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
     placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than
     pursuant to Rules 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
     establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such
     offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
     participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Grantee
     understands that no assurances can be given that any such other
     registration exemption will be available in such event.

       (e)  Grantee represents that he is a resident of ______________________

its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice and with
the applicable provisions of this Option Agreement. No partial exercise of the

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event of a Corporate
Transaction, this Option shall automatically shall become fully vested and
exercisable and be released from any forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the
specified effective date of such Corporate Transaction, for all of the Shares at
the time represented by this Option. Effective upon the consummation of the
Corporate Transaction, this Option shall terminate; provided

                                       3
<PAGE>

however that this Option shall not terminate if it is assumed by the successor

                  (c) ACCELERATION IN THE EVENT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event of a Change in Control

Option automatically shall become fully vested and exercisable and be released
from any forfeiture rights, immediately prior to the specified effective date of
such Change in Control, for all of the Shares at the time represented by this
Option.

                  (d) METHOD OF EXERCISE. The Option shall be exercisable only
by delivery of an Exercise Notice (attached as Exhibit A) which shall state the
election to exercise the Option, the whole number of Shares in respect of which
the Option is being exercised, and such other provisions as may be required by
the Board of Directors. The Exercise Notice shall be signed by an authorized
officer of Grantee and shall be delivered in person, by certified mail, or by
such other method as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors to
the Company accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Option shall be
deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice
accompanied by the Exercise Price, which, to the extent selected, shall be
deemed to be satisfied by use of the broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure
to pay the Exercise Price provided in Section 5(d), below.

                  (e) TAXES. No Shares will be delivered to the Grantee or other
person pursuant to the exercise of the Option until the Grantee or other person
has made arrangements acceptable to the Board of Directors for the satisfaction
of applicable income tax, employment tax, and social security tax withholding or
payment obligations or comparable tax obligations under all applicable
jurisdictions, including without limitation obligations incident to the receipt
of Shares. Upon exercise of the Option, the Company may offset or withhold (from
any amount owed by the Company to the Grantee or any related person) or collect
from the Grantee or other person an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax or
withholding or payment obligations.

         25. GRANTEE'S REPRESENTATIONS; CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE.

                  (a) The Grantee understands that neither the Option nor the
Shares exercisable pursuant to the Option have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended or any United States securities laws. In the
event the Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of the Option have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time the
Option is exercised, the Grantee shall, if requested by the Company,
concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to
the Company its Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit B and such other representations, warranties and covenants reasonably
requested by counsel for the Company.

                  (b) The Grantee is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to
reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire this Option. Grantee is
acquiring this Option and any Shares issued pursuant to the Option for
investment for Grantee's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale
in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

                  (c) The Shares further shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of this Option unless such Exercise and the issuance and delivery of
such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws, and shall be
further subject to the reasonable approval of counsel for the Company with
respect to such compliance.

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

                                       4
<PAGE>

         26. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made by
any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Grantee;
provided, however, that such exercise method does not then violate any
Applicable Law:

                  (a) Cash;
                  (b) Check;
                  (c) Provided the Shares are then traded on a public market,
surrender of Shares or delivery of a properly executed form of attestation of
ownership of Shares as the Board of Directors may require (including withholding
of Shares otherwise deliverable upon exercise of the Option) which have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender or attestation equal to the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised (but only
to the extent that such exercise of the Option would not result in an accounting
compensation charge with respect to the Shares used to pay the exercise price);

                  (d) Provided the Shares are then traded on a public market,
payment through a broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which
the Grantee (i) shall provide written instructions to a Company designated
brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of some or all of the purchased
Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the
settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable
for the purchased Shares and (ii) shall provide written directives to the
Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such
brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction; or

                  (e) Provided that the aggregate Exercise Price for the number
of Shares being purchased exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), payment
pursuant to a promissory note as described below:

                             (v) The promissory note shall have a term of two
                  (2) years with principal and interest payable in two (2) equal
                  annual installments;

                             (vi) The promissory note shall bear interest at the
                  minimum rate required by the United States federal tax laws to
                  avoid the imputation of interest income to the Company and
                  compensation income to the Grantee;

                             (vii) The Grantee shall be personally liable for
                  payment of the promissory note and the promissory note shall
                  be secured by the Shares purchased upon delivery of the
                  promissory note, or such other collateral of equal or greater
                  value, in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Directors with
                  such documentation as the Board of Directors may request; and

                             (viii) The promissory note shall become due and
                  payable upon the occurrence of any or all of the following
                  events: (A) the sale or transfer of the Shares purchased with
                  the promissory note; (B) termination of the Grantee's
                  Directorship for any reason other than death or Disability; or
                  (C) the first anniversary of the termination of the Grantee's
                  Directorship due to death or Disability; or

                  (f) Any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

         27. RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE. The Option may not be exercised if the
issuance of the Shares subject to the Option upon such exercise would constitute
a violation of any Applicable Laws.

         28. TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF DIRECTORSHIP. In the event Olisa's
Directorship terminates other than for cause under Applicable Law, including but
not limited to the death or Disability of Olisa, the Grantee may, to the extent
otherwise so entitled at the date of such termination (the "Termination Date"),
exercise the Option during the Post-Termination Exercise Period. In the event of
termination of Olisa's

                                       5
<PAGE>

Directorship for cause under Applicable Law, the Grantee's right to exercise the
Option shall, except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors,
terminate concurrently with the termination of the Directorship of Olisa. In no
event shall the Option be exercised later than the Expiration Date set forth in
the Notice. To the extent that the Grantee is not entitled to exercise the
Option on the Termination Date, or if the Grantee does not exercise the Option
to the extent so entitled within the Post-Termination Exercise Period, the
Option shall terminate.

         29. TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may be transferred to Olisa
but otherwise shall not transferable by Grantee. In the event this Option is
transferred to Olisa, this Option thereafter may be transferred by Will, by the
laws of descent and distribution, and to the extent and in the manner authorized
by the Board of Directors, to members of Olisa's immediate family (as determined
by the Board) or pursuant to a domestic relations order.

         30. BINDING EFFECT. Subject to the foregoing restrictions on transfer,
(i) the terms of the Option shall be binding upon the affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns of the
Grantee; and (ii) in the event this Option is transferred to Olisa, then the
terms of the Option thereafter shall be binding upon Olisa and the executors,
administrators, heirs and successors, assigns of Olisa.

         31. TERM OF OPTION. The Option may be exercised no later than the
Expiration Date set forth in the Notice or such earlier date as otherwise
provided herein.

         32. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR CORPORATE
TRANSACTION. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company,
the number of Shares covered by this Option and the Exercise Price of the Shares
shall be proportionately adjusted for (i) any increase or decrease in the number
of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from a stock split,
reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of such
Shares, or similar event affecting such Shares, (ii) any other increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Company 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 of Directors and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as the Board of Directors determines in its discretion, 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 hereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of
the Shares hereunder.

         33. STOP-TRANSFER NOTICES. In order to ensure compliance with the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Option Agreement or the Notice, the
Company may issue appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer
agent, if any, and, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

         34. REFUSAL TO TRANSFER. The Company shall not be required (i) to
transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in
violation of any of the provisions of this Option Agreement or (ii) to treat as
owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends or other
shareholders rights to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares
shall have been so transferred.

         35. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date
of this Option Agreement of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of
the Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY
INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE COMPANY
SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY GRANTEE OF ANY SUCH CHANGES. THE GRANTEE
SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE
SHARES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTION AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE

                                       6
<PAGE>

SHARES UNDER THE LAWS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OR ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES, IF ANY, TO
OLISA.

                  (a) EXERCISE OF NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION. On exercise of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Grantee will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the
Exercise Price. The Company may be required to withhold from the Grantee's
compensation or collect from the Grantee 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 Shares are held for more than
one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
long-term capital gain and will be subject to tax as determined for federal
income tax purposes.

         36. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT.

                  (a) AGREEMENT. The Grantee, if requested by the Company and
the lead underwriter of any public offering of the Common Stock or other
securities of the Company (the "Lead Underwriter"), hereby irrevocably agrees
not to sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, transfer the
economic risk of ownership in, make any short sale of, pledge or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any interest in any Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or any other rights to
purchase or acquire Common Stock (except Common Stock included in such public
offering or acquired on the public market after such offering) during the
180-day period following any registration date for shares of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company or any affiliate thereof or such shorter period
of time as the Lead Underwriter shall specify. The Grantee further agrees to
sign such documents as may be requested by the Lead Underwriter to effect the
foregoing and agrees that the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to such Common Stock subject until the end of such period. The Company
and the Grantee acknowledge that each Lead Underwriter of a public offering of
the Company's stock, during the period of such offering and for the 180-day
period thereafter, is an intended beneficiary of this Section.

                  (b) NO AMENDMENT WITHOUT CONSENT OF UNDERWRITER. During the
period from identification as a Lead Underwriter in connection with any public
offering of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company until the
earlier of (i) the expiration of the lock-up period specified in Subsection (a)
hereof in connection with such offering or (ii) the abandonment of such offering
by the Company and the Lead Underwriter, the provisions of this Section may not
be amended or waived except with the consent of the Lead Underwriter.

         37. NO EFFECT ON TERMS OF RELATIONSHIP. The Agreement shall not confer
upon the Grantee or Olisa any right with respect to future awards or
continuation of the Directorship or the establishment or continuation of any
other relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with
Olisa's right to resign as a director or the right of the Company or the
shareholders of the Company to remove Olisa as a director or otherwise, with or
without cause.

         38. NO EFFECT ON RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS. Neither this
Option nor any Shares shall be deemed compensation for purposes of computing
benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Related
Entity, and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any
kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or
amount of benefits is related to level of compensation.

         39. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: GOVERNING LAW. The Notice 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 the Grantee with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Grantee's interest except by
means of a writing signed by the Company and the Grantee. Nothing in the Notice
or this Option Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) is intended to
confer any rights or remedies on any persons other than the parties. The

                                       7
<PAGE>

Notice and this Option Agreement are to be construed in accordance with and
governed by the internal laws of the State of California (as permitted by
Section 1646.5 of the California Civil Code, or any similar successor provision)
without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application
of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of
California to the rights and duties of the parties. Should any provision of the
Notice or this Option Agreement be determined by a court of law to be illegal or
unenforceable, such provision shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed by
law and the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall
remain enforceable.

         40. HEADINGS. The captions used in the Notice and this Option Agreement
are inserted for convenience and shall not be deemed a part of the Option for
construction or interpretation.

     the Option Agreement and this Exercise Notice (except as expressly provided
     therein) is intended to confer any rights or remedies on any persons other
     than the parties.

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

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

     (e) Grantee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
     "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
     registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
     therefrom, which exemption depends upon among other things, the bona fide
     nature of Grantee's investment intent as expressed herein. Grantee further
     understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are
     subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
     registration is available. Grantee further acknowledges and understands
     that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Grantee
     understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be
     imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities
     unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the
     opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company.

     (f) Grantee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under
     the Securities Act, which in substance permit limited public resale of
     "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer
     thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain
     conditions. Grantee further understands that in the event all of the
     applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under
     the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other
     registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact
     that Rules 144 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
     Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
     placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than
     pursuant to Rules 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in
     establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such
     offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
     participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Grantee
     understands that no assurances can be given that any such other
     registration exemption will be available in such event.

     (e) Grantee represents that it is resident at____________________________
