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

                  4.1  Employee agrees to perform faithfully, industriously, and
to the best of Employee's ability, experience, and talents, all of the duties
that may be required by the express and implicit terms of this Agreement, to the
reasonable satisfaction of Corporation. Such duties shall be performed at such
place(s) as the needs, business, or opportunities the Corporation may require
from time to time.

shall not directly or indirectly, either as owner, partner, shareholder, broker,
dealer, agent, employee or otherwise, engage in any other significant business
activity for gain or profit or other pecuniary advantage; provided, however,
that this section shall not limit or restrict Employee's right to make and have
personal investments in such form or manner that do not require Employee's
active services in the daily operations or affairs of the business in which such
investments are made and do not otherwise conflict with Employee's duties and
obligations to the Corporation.

                  5.1 Employee shall be entitled to three (3) weeks (i.e., 15

                  5.2  At the end of each calendar year, Employee can elect to
have one-half of his unused personal days, up to 10 days, paid to him as a bonus
(based on Employee's Base Salary). Employee can carry over the remainder of his
unused personal days into the following year, but at no time can Employee begin
a new year on January I with more than 20 personal days.

         6.       Business Expenses
                  -----------------

                  Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement by Corporation for
any ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Employee in the
performance of Employee's duties on behalf of the Corporation, provided that:

                  (a) Each such expenditure is of a nature qualifying it as a
proper deduction on the federal and state income tax returns of Corporation as a
business expense and not as compensation to Employee; and

                  (b) Employee furnishes to Corporation adequate records and
other documentary evidence as required by federal and state statutes and
regulations issued by the appropriate taxing authorities for the substantiation
of such expenditures as a deductible business expense of Corporation.

         7.       Reimbursement.
                  -------------

                  Employee agrees that, if at any time any payment made to
Employee by Corporation as business expense reimbursement shall be disallowed in
whole or in part as a nondeductible expense of Corporation by any taxing
authority, Employee shall reimburse Corporation to the full extent of such
disallowance, with interest thereon at the rate as would be charged by the
Internal Revenue Service for such period from the date of reimbursement by
Corporation until repaid.

         8.       Stock Options.
                  -------------

         Employee shall be entitled to options to purchase shares of common
stock of the Corporation in accordance with the Corporation's Stock Incentive
Plan.

         9.       Prohibition on Using Confidential Information.
                  ---------------------------------------------

                  9.1  Employee recognizes and acknowledges that Confidential
Information (defined below) is a valuable and unique asset of NET-tel, access to
and knowledge of which is essential to the performance of the Employee' duties
to NET-tel. Except as required to perform the services required under this
Agreement, Employee shall not, during his employment or any time thereafter,
disclose, in whole or in part, such Confidential Information to any person,
firm, corporation, association, or other entity for any reasons or purpose
whatsoever, or make use of such Confidential Information for his own purposes or
for the benefit of such person or other entity (except NET-tel), under any
circumstances.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  9.2  Employee shall, prior to or upon leaving NET-tel, deliver
to NET-tel any and all records, items, media of any type (including all partial
or complete copies or duplicates) containing or otherwise relating to
Confidential Information whether prepared or acquired by Employee or provided to
Employee by NET-tel. Employee also acknowledges that all such records, items and
media are at all times and shall remain the property of NET-tel.

                  9.3  Confidential information means information disclosed to
or known by an employee as a consequence or through his association with NET-
tel, including any information conceived, originated, discovered, or developed
by Employee, which is not generally known to the public or potential competitors
of NET-tel and which constitutes or relates to marketing, sales, research,
development, or know-how, including, but not limited to plans, specifications,
drawings, sketches, lay-outs and formulas, development and manufacture of the
products of the Corporation, purchasing, accounting, customer or contract lists,
trade engineering and technical data, computer software and hardware design,
information entrusted to NET-tel by third parties, or any trade secrets,
proprietary or confidential matter.

                  9.4  Employee shall not acquire any intellectual property
rights under this Agreement except the limited right to use set out above.
Employee acknowledges that, as between NET-tel and Employee, the Confidential
Information and all related copyrights and other intellectual property rights,
are (and at all times will be) the property of NET-tel, even if suggestions,
comments, and/or ideas made by Employee are incorporated into the Confidential
Information or related materials during the period of this Agreement.

         10.      Non-Solicitation.
                  ----------------

                  Employee recognizes and acknowledges that NET-tel has a
national and international market for its services, and that Employee's duties
will be performed in, and will require him to come into contact with the
national and international market. Employee acknowledges that this market is
very competitive and that because of these factors and because of the
Confidential Information and customer lists which NET-tel has purchased or
developed that have been or will be obtained by or disclosed to Employee, as
well as the access Employee has or will have to NET-tel's subscribers,
customers, and accounts, Employee will abide by the following conditions during
his employment and for a term of one year after termination of this Agreement
and Employee's employment thereunder, whether voluntary or involuntary. During
this period, Employee will not directly or indirectly:

                  (a) Induce or attempt to induce any employee of NET-tel to
leave its employ;

                  (b) Persuade or attempt to persuade any Subscriber of
Corporation to cease doing business with the Corporation, to reduce the amount
of business it does with the Corporation, or to do business with any other
person, firm, or corporation that directly or indirectly engages in any business
competitive to that of the Corporation;

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  (c) Persuade or attempt to persuade any potential Subscriber
not to do business with the Corporation or to do business with any other
company, person, or firm that directly or indirectly engages in any business
competitive to that of the Corporation. For the purposes of this subparagraph
10(c), the term "potential Subscriber" includes any person, firm, or corporation
to which the Corporation made a presentation or otherwise actively solicited at
any time during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of the termination of
this Agreement.

         11.      Covenant Not to Compete.
                  -----------------------

                  11.1  Except as expressly noted herein, during Employee's
employment with the Corporation, and for a period of one (1) year following the
termination of the Agreement and Employee's employment thereunder, Employee
shall not, either directly or indirectly, engage in or have any interest in any
person, firm, corporation or business (whether as an employee, officer,
director, agent, or principal investor) that engages in the business of
designing, creating or marketing telephone services in direct competition with
the Corporation in the continental United States.

                  11.2  Subject to the terms of Paragraph 13.1 (c), upon
termination of this Agreement by Corporation under Paragraph 13.1 (Termination
Without Cause), Employee will be paid severance pay for a period of one year
based on the Employee's Base Salary, to be paid in accordance with the
Corporation's payment of Base Salary.

         12.      Enforcement of Confidential Information Clause, Non-
                  Solicitation Clause, and Covenant Not to Compete.
                  ----------------------------------------------------

         If Employee breaches or threatens to breach the terms of the
Confidential Information clause, Non-Solicitation clause, or Covenant Not to
Compete of this Agreement, NET-tel may pursue any remedies it is or may be
entitled to under the law or equity, including injunctive relief. Employee
acknowledges that NET-tel would be irreparably injured upon Employee's breach of
the foregoing provisions regarding confidential information, non-solicitation,
and covenant not to compete, and it is difficult to ascertain with certainty the
amount of money damages NET-tel will suffer. Employee agrees, however, that a
reasonable amount of such money damages would be the commissions and bonuses
Employee was paid by NET-tel in the six (6) month period prior to Employee's
termination. Provided further, however, that nothing herein shall preclude
NET-tel from seeking a recoupment of its actual damages should they be
ascertainable in an amount certain and should they exceed the amount of
commissions and bonuses Employee received in the six (6) months prior to
termination.

         13.      Termination.
                  -----------

                  13.1  Termination Without Cause. Employee's employment under
                        -------------------------
this Agreement shall be on an "at will" basis. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 13.2, either party may terminate this Agreement and Employee's
employment thereunder at any time, for any reason or no reason whatsoever by
providing the other party thirty (30) days notice of such termination.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

                           (a) Subject to the terms of Paragraph 13.1 (c), upon
termination of this Agreement by either party under Paragraph 13.1 (Termination
Without Cause), Employee will be entitled to commissions earned up to the date
of termination which are subsequently collected by Corporation. Such commission
will be paid in the same manner and within the same period as if Employee was
still employed by Corporation.

                           (b) Subject to the terms of Paragraph 13. 1 (c), upon
termination of this Agreement by Corporation under Paragraph 13.1 (Termination
Without Cause), Employee will be paid severance pay for a period of one year
based on the Employee's Base Salary, to be paid in accordance with the
Corporation's payment of Base Salary.

                           (c) If, in the good faith belief of the Corporation,
the Employee breaches the prohibition against disclosing Confidential
Information in Paragraph 9, the Non-Solicitation clause in Paragraph 10, and the
Covenant Not Compete in Paragraph 11, the Employee's entitlement to any
commissions pursuant to Paragraph 13. 1 (a) or severance pursuant to Paragraph
13.1(b) will cease immediately and Corporation shall have no further obligation
or liability to Employee.

                           (d) Upon termination of employment under Paragraph
13. 1, Employee will be entitled to payment for his unused personal days.
However, if Employee terminates his employment under Paragraph 13.1 without
giving 30 days notice of that termination, he will forfeit his unused personal
days.

                  13.2  Termination for Cause. Corporation may, without
                        ---------------------
providing the notice specified in Paragraph 13.1, terminate this Agreement for
Cause and cancel its obligation to Employee hereunder, except for base salary
earned but unpaid to the effective date of termination. In the event the
Agreement is terminated under this Paragraph for cause, Employee will not be
entitled to any further payment of commissions nor will Employee be entitled to
severance pay. As used herein, the term "Cause" shall include, but not be
limited to: (i ) the commission of Employee of a felony or a crime involving
moral turpitude or the commission of any other act involving dishonesty,

                  13.3  Death or Disability. In the event of Employee's death or
                        -------------------
the Employee's inability, due to a disability, to perform the essential
functions of his job with or without reasonable accommodation during the term of
this Agreement, Corporation shall have no further obligations or liability
hereunder, except to pay to Employee or Employee's estate (in addition to and
without

                                      -6-

other benefit plan of the Corporation or any other person or entity) the amount
of Employee's Compensation, including base salary, commissions, and unused
personal leave, other payments accrued but unpaid at the date of Employee's

least four (4) consecutive months.

                  13.4  Return of Property. Upon termination of this Agreement,
                        ------------------
Employee shall deliver all property (including keys, records, notes, data,
memoranda, models, and equipment) that is in the Employee's possession or under
the Employee's control which is the Corporation's property or related to the
Corporation's business.

         14.      Arbitration.
                  -----------

                  With the exception of the Corporation's enforcement of the
Confidential Information provisions in Paragraph 9, the Non-Solicitation
Provisions of Paragraph 10, and the Covenant Not to Compete in Paragraph 11, any
dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement,
shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in the Washington, D.C. area before
a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (the
"AAA") in a confidential arbitration conducted on an expedited basis in
accordance with applicable AAA rules and procedures. The determination and award
of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and the
Employee, and judgment on the arbitrator's award shall be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

         15.      Successors.
                  ----------

                  15.1  This Agreement is personal to Employee and neither it
nor any benefits hereunder shall, without the prior written consent of the
Corporation, be assignable by Employee.

                  15.2  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Corporation and its successors and assigns and any such
successor or assignee shall be deemed substituted for the Corporation under the

that at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or
indirectly acquires the stock of the Corporation or to which the Corporation
assigns this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

         16.      Indemnification.
                  ---------------

                  The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless Employee
from and against any costs, expenses (including attorney's fees) judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in

civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding to
which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the execution or
performance of this

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Agreement, the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of
the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, or other enterprise, if (i) such action, suit or proceeding arises out
of activities of the Corporation prior to his assumption of such position, or
(ii) he acted in good faith and in the manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

         17.      Governing Law.
                  -------------

                  Because NET-tel is a national corporation, with employees

                  No consent or waiver, express or implied, by either party, to
or of any breach or default by the other in the performance by the other of its
obligations hereunder, shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver
to, or of, any other breach or default in the performance by such other party
hereunder. Failure on the part of either party to complain of any act or failure
to act of any other party, or to declare any other party in default,
irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver
by such party of its rights hereunder.

         19.      Amendments.
                  ----------

                  This Agreement is subject to amendment only by a written
agreement signed by all of the parties hereto.

         20.      Invalid Provisions.
                  ------------------

                  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall
be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein and the same shall be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

         21.      Attorneys' Fees.
                  ---------------

                  In the event of any arbitration or litigation between the

attorneys' fees and costs incurred therein.

               NET-TEL HOLDING COMPANY 1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1.  ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

     The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected individuals an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase
such interest, by purchasing Shares of the Company's Stock. The Plan provides
both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant of Options to
purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory Options
as well as ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. Capitalized
terms are defined in Section 12.

SECTION 2.  ADMINISTRATION.

     (a)  Committees of the Board of Directors. The Plan may be administered by
one or more Committees. Each Committee shall consist of two or more members of
the Board of Directors who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each
Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the
Board of Directors has assigned to it. If no Committee has been appointed, the
entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board
of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if
any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function.

     (b)  Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to
take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors
shall be final and binding on all Purchasers, all Optionees and all persons
deriving their rights from a Purchaser or Optionee.

SECTION 3.  ELIGIBILITY.

     (a)  General Rule. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall
be eligible for the grant of Options or the direct award or sale of Shares. Only
Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

     (b)  Ten-Percent Shareholders.  An individual who owns more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company,
its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for designation as
an Optionee or Purchaser unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) the Purchase Price (if
any) is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share and (iii) in the case
of an ISO, such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five
years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in
determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code
shall be applied.

SECTION 4.   STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

     (a)  Basic Limitation.  The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan
<PAGE>

(upon exercise of Options or other rights to acquire Shares) shall not exceed
4,255,000 issued Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8. The number
of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time
under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available
for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at
all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

     (b)  Additional Shares.  In the event that any outstanding Option or other
right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares
allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again
be available for the purposes of the Plan. In the event that Shares issued under
the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision,
right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such Shares shall again be
available for the purposes of the Plan, except that the aggregate number of
Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs shall in no event exceed
4,255,000 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8).

SECTION 5.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.

     (a)  Stock Purchase Agreement.  Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan
(other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock Purchase
Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be
subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to
any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and
which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase
Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.

     (b)  Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights.  Any right to
acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Purchaser within 30 days after the grant of such right
was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right
was granted.

     (c)  Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price of Shares to be offered under
the Plan shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares, and
a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Purchase Price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at
its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in
Section 7.

     (d)  Withholding Taxes.  As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the
Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for
the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax
obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase.

     (e)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting.  Any Shares
awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture
conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer
restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be
set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition
to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In the case
of a Purchaser who is

                                       2
<PAGE>

not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a Consultant, any right to
repurchase the Purchaser's Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon
termination of the Purchaser's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as 20%
per year over the five-year period commencing on the date of the award or sale
of the Shares. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days
after the termination of the Purchaser's Service for cash or for cancellation of
indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Shares.

     (f)  Accelerated Vesting.  Unless the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement
expressly provides to the contrary or the Board of Directors determines
otherwise prior to a Change in Control, any right to repurchase a Purchaser's
Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon termination of the
Purchaser's Service shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become fully vested
upon a Change in Control.

SECTION 6.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

     (a)  Stock Option Agreement.  Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall
be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent
with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion
in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

     (b)  Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Stock Option
Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Nonstatutory
Option.

     (c)  Limitation on ISOs.  The aggregate Fair Market Value of the Stock
(determined at the time of the grant of the Option) for which any Employee may
be granted ISOs in any calendar year must not be more than $100,000 plus a
carryover amount. The carryover amount for an Employee from any year is one-half
of the amount by which $100,000 exceeds the value at the time of grant of the
Stock for which ISOs were granted in such prior year. Amounts may be carried
over three years. Options granted in any year use up the $100,000 current year
limitation first and then the carryover from the earliest year.

     (d)  Exercise Price.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may
be required by Section 3(b). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option granted
on or before the Reliance Period Termination Date shall not be less than 85% of
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage
may be required by Section 3(b). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option
granted after the Reliance Period Termination Date shall not be less than 100%
of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher
percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding three
sentences, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Board
of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a
form described in Section 7.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     (e)  Withholding Taxes.  As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for
the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax
obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall
also make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations
that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by
exercising an Option.

     (f)  Exercisability.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date
when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. In the case
of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a
Consultant, an Option shall become exercisable at least as rapidly as 20% per
year over the five-year period commencing on the date of the grant. Subject to
the preceding sentence, the exercisability provisions of any Stock Option
Agreement shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion.
An Option shall not be exercised for fewer than 100 Shares (without adjustment
under Section 8), unless fewer than 100 Shares remain subject to such Option.

     (g)  Accelerated Exercisability.  Unless the applicable Stock Option
Agreement expressly provides to the contrary or the Board of Directors
determines otherwise prior to a Change in Control, all of an Optionee's Options
shall become fully exercisable upon a Change in Control.

     (h)  Basic Term.  The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the
Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, and a shorter
term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the
Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to
expire.

     (i)  Nontransferability.  No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee
other than by beneficiary designation, will or the laws of descent and
distribution. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee
only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. No
Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated
by the Optionee during the Optionee's lifetime, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

     (j)  Termination of Service (Except by Death).  If an Optionee's Service
terminates for any reason other than the Optionee's death, then the Optionee's
Options shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:

          (i)    The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (g)
     above;

          (ii)   The date three months after the termination of the Optionee's
     Service for any reason other than Cause, Retirement or Disability;

          (iii)  The date of the termination of the Optionee's Service for
     Cause; or

          (iv)   The date 12 months after the termination of the Optionee's
     Service by reason of Retirement or Disability.

                                       4
<PAGE>

The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee's Options at any time
before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to
the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee's
Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and
the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or
vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse
when the Optionee's Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies
after the termination of the Optionee's Service but before the expiration of the
Optionee's Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to
expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by
any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by
beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that
such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated (or
became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had
vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or vested as a result of the
termination).

     (k)  Leaves of Absence.  For purposes of Subsection (i) above, Service
shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of
absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued
crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such
leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).

     (l)  Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee dies while the Optionee is in
Service, then the Optionee's Options shall expire on the earlier of the
following dates:

          (i)  The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (g) above;
     or

          (ii) The date 12 months after the Optionee's death.

All or part of the Optionee's Options may be exercised at any time before the
expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or
administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired such
Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable
before the Optionee's death or became exercisable as a result of the death. The
balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies.

     (m)  No Rights as a Shareholder.  An Optionee, or a transferee of an
Optionee, shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares
covered by the Optionee's Option until such person becomes entitled to receive
such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price
pursuant to the terms of such Option.

     (n)  Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options.  Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume
outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options
(whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of
new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights
or increase the Optionee's obligations

                                       5
<PAGE>

under such Option.

     (o)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting.  Any Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture
conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer
restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be
set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition
to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In the case
of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a
Consultant, any right to repurchase the Optionee's Shares at the original
Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service shall lapse at least
as rapidly as 20% per year over the five-year period commencing on the date of
the option grant. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days
after the termination of the Optionee's Service for cash or for cancellation of
indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Shares.

     (p)  Accelerated Vesting.  Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement
expressly provides to the contrary or the Board of Directors determines
otherwise prior to a Change in Control, any right to repurchase an Optionee's
Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service
shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become fully vested upon a Change in
Control.

SECTION 7.   PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

     (a)  General Rule.  The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of Shares
issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time
when such Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.

     (b)  Surrender of Stock.  To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering, or
attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by the Optionee.
Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is
exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of,
Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company
to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with
respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

     (c)  Services Rendered.  At the discretion of the Board of Directors,
Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to
the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior to the award.

     (d)  Promissory Note.  To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, all or a portion of the Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan
may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. The Shares shall be pledged as
security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest
thereon. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall
not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of
additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of
Directors (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate,
amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note.

                                       6
<PAGE>

     (e)  Exercise/Sale.  To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by
the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction
to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all
or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the
Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

     (f)  Exercise/Pledge.  To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by
the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction
to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as
security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the
Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding
taxes.

SECTION 8.   ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

     (a)  General.  In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a
declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an extraordinary
dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material
effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or consolidation of
the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a
spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors
shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares
available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered
by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding
Option.

     (b)  Mergers and Consolidations.  In the event that the Company is a party
to a merger or consolidation, outstanding Options shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement, without the Optionees'
consent, may provide for:

reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or
consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its

applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities

period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way
the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining
the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which rights are
