          covered by each such Option granted hereunder;

               (ix)   in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without
          amending the Plan, to modify grants of Options to participants who are

          as contemplated by Section 10 hereof;

               (xi)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
          granted pursuant to the Plan and to establish, amend and revoke rules
          and regulations for the administration of the Plan, including, but
          without limitation, correcting any defect or supplying any omission,
          or reconciling any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Agreement, in
          the manner and to

                                       5
<PAGE>

          the extent it shall deem necessary or advisable to make the Plan fully
          effective;

               (xii)  to determine the duration and purposes for leaves of

          acts as are deemed necessary or advisable to promote the best
          interests of the Company with respect to the Plan.

          (d)  Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions, determinations
               ----------------------------------
     and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final, binding and
     conclusive upon the Company and its Affiliates, the Optionees and all other
     persons having any interest therein.

          (e)  Indemnification.  The Administrator shall not be liable for any
               ---------------
     action, failure to act, determination or interpretation made in good faith
     with respect to this Plan or any transaction hereunder, except for
     liability arising from his or her own willful misfeasance, gross negligence
     or reckless disregard of his or her duties.  The Company hereby agrees to
     indemnity the Administrator for all costs and expenses and, to the extent
     permitted by applicable law, any liability incurred in connection with
     defending against, responding to, negotiation for the settlement of or
     otherwise dealing with any claim, cause of action or dispute of any kind
     arising in connection with any actions in administering this Plan or in
     authorizing or denying authorization to any transaction hereunder.

     5.   Eligibility.
          -----------

     may be granted only to Employees.

          (b)  Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either
     an ISO or a NQO. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent

     ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar
     year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliate) exceeds $100,000,
     such Options shall be treated as NQOs.  For purposes of this Section 5(b),

     Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

     Optionee under the Plan shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the
     aggregate number of Shares referred to in Section 3 hereof.

          (d)  Neither the Plan nor any Option shall not confer upon any
     Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's relationship
     as an Employee, Director or Consultant with the Company, nor shall it
     interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to
     terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

     6.   Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
          ------------
the Board.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

     7.   Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
          ---------------
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date it is granted (five (5) years in the case of an ISO
granted to a Ten-Percent Stockholder), or such shorter term as the Administrator
may, subsequent to the granting of any Option, provide.

     8.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
          ----------------------------------------

          (a)  Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be
               --------------
     issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is
     determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

               (i)   In the case of an ISO

                     (aa)  granted to an Employee who is a Ten-Percent
               Stockholder, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
               Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                     (bb)  granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise
               price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
               Share on the date of grant.

               (ii)  In the case of a NQO granted to an Employee, Director or
          Consultant, the per Share exercise price shall be [no less than 85% of
          the Fair Market Value per Share][as determined by the Administrator]
          on the date of grant.

               (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with
          a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a
          merger or other corporate transaction.

                                       7
<PAGE>

          (b)  Payment of Option Price.  The consideration to be paid for the
               -----------------------
     Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of
     payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and in the case of an
     ISO, shall be determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration may
     consist of: (i) cash, by check, or cash equivalent, (ii) promissory note,
     (iii) by tender to the Company of other Shares owned by the Optionee which
     (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option have been
     owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender,
     and (B) have a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Administrator (but
     without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such
     stock by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an
     underwriter for the Company), of not less than the option price of the
     Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised (provided such tender of
     stock would not constitute a violation of the provisions of any law,
     regulation and/or agreement restricting the redemption of the Common
     Stock), (iv) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
     exercise program, (v) authorization for the Company to retain from the
     total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of
     Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the
     exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
     exercised, or (vi) such other consideration and method of payment for the
     issuance of Shares that may be permitted under Applicable Laws.

               The Administrator may at any time or from time to time grant
     Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to
     be used in payment of the option price and/or which otherwise restrict one
     or more forms of consideration.

          (c)  Promissory Note.  To the extent that the Administrator so
               ---------------
     provides, all or a portion of the Option Price 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 Administrator (at its sole discretion) shall specify the
     term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other
     provisions of such note.

     9.   Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option
               -----------------------------------------------
     granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
     conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance
     criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be
     permissible under the terms of the Plan.  An Option may not be exercised
     for a fraction of a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when the Company
     receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with
     the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option and
     (ii) full

                                       8
<PAGE>

     payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
     payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
     consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and
     permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise
     of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested
     by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until
     the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
     of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no
     right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder
     shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the
     exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued)
     such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment
     will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is
     prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
     Section 11 of the Plan.

               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
     the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan
     and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
     Option is exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Relationship as Employee, Director or Consultant.
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
     If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee, Director or Consultant, as the
     case may be, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such
     period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that
     the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than
     the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
     Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement,
     the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the
     Optionee's termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is
     not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
     unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after
     termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the
     time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the
     Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. No termination
     shall be deemed to occur if (i) the Optionee is a Consultant or Director
     who becomes an Employee within the time specified herein; or (ii) the
     Optionee is an Employee who becomes a Consultant or Director who is not
     also an employee, within the time specified herein.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  If an Optionee ceases to be an Employee,
               ----------------------
     Director or Consultant as a result of Optionee's Disability, the Optionee
     may within six (6) months from the date of such termination (but in no
     event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set
     forth in the Option Agreement), exercise an Option to the extent otherwise
     entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent
     that Optionee is not entitled to exercise the Option on the date of

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee dies while an Employee,
               -----------------
     Director or Consultant, the Option may be exercised at any time within six
     (6) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the
     expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
     Agreement), to the extent the Optionee was vested on the date of death.
     If, at the time of death, Optionee is not vested as to the entire Option,
     the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to
     the Plan.  The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of
     the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise

     10.  Withholding to Satisfy Tax Obligations.
          ---------------------------------------

          (a)  Permitted Methods.  At the discretion of the Administrator,
               -----------------
     Optionees may satisfy withholding obligations as provided in this Section
     10.  When an Optionee incurs tax liability in connection with an Option,
     which tax liability is subject to tax withholding under applicable tax
     laws, and the Optionee is obligated to pay the Company an amount required
     to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee may satisfy the
     withholding tax obligation by one or some combination of the following
     methods: (i) by cash payment; (ii) out of Optionee's current compensation;
     (iii) if permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, by surrendering
     to the Company Shares that (A) in the case of Shares previously acquired
     from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
     on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of
     surrender equal to or less than Optionee's marginal tax rate times the
     ordinary income recognized; or (iv) by electing to have the Company
     withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option, if any,
     that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of
     withholding due.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall
     be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
     determined.

          (b)  Procedures for Stock Withholding.  All elections by an Optionee
               --------------------------------
     to have Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall be
     made in writing in a form acceptable to the Administrator and shall be
     subject to the following restrictions: (i) the election must be made on or
     prior to the applicable tax withholding date; (ii) once made, the election
     shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares of the Option as to which
     the election is made; (iii) all elections shall be subject to the consent
     or disapproval of the Administrator; (iv) if the

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Optionee is an Officer, Director or greater than Ten-Percent Stockholder
     within the meaning of Rule 16a-2 under the Exchange Act ("Reporting
     Person"), the election must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule
     16b-3 and shall be subject to such additional conditions or restrictions as
     may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from
     Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.

     11.  Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other
          -------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions.
------------

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the
               -------------------------
     stockholders of the Company, the number and class of shares of Common Stock
     with respect to which Options may be granted under the Plan, the number and
     class of Shares of Common Stock which are subject to outstanding Options
     granted under the Plan, and the purchase price per Share of Common Stock ,
     if applicable, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
     decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common Stock resulting from a
     stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
     reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in
     the number of issued Shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
     consideration by the Company.  The conversion of any convertible securities
     of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt
     of consideration."  Any such adjustment in the Shares subject to
     outstanding ISOs (including any adjustments in the purchase price) shall be
     made in such manner as not to constitute a modification as defined by
     Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and only to the extent otherwise permitted by
     Sections 422 and 424 of the Code. Adjustments shall be made by the
     Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding
     and conclusive. If, by reason of a change in Capitalization, an Optionee
     shall be entitled to exercise an Option with respect to new, additional or
     different shares of stock, such new, additional or different shares shall
     thereupon be subject to all of the conditions which were applicable to the
     Shares subject to the Option, as the case may be, prior to such Change in
     Capitalization.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed
               --------------------------
     dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify
     each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such
     proposed action. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an
     Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15)
     days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered
     thereby, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be
     exercisable.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option
     will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
     action.

          (c)  Merger or Sale of Assets. If the Company is to be consolidated
               ------------------------
     with or acquired by another entity in a merger or other reorganization in
     which the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Company
     immediately preceding

                                       11
<PAGE>

     the consummation of such event, shall, immediately following such event,
     hold, as a group, less than a majority of the voting securities of the
     surviving or successor entity, or in the event of a sale of all or
     substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise (each, a "Change-of-
     Control"), then all outstanding Options, whether or not then vested or
     exercisable, shall be deemed to be vested and exercisable immediately prior
     to the Change-of-Control.

          (d)  Certain Distributions.  In the event of any distribution to the
               ---------------------
     Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets
     (other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without
     receipt of consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its
     discretion, appropriately adjust the price per share of Common Stock
     covered by each outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such
     distribution.

     12.  Non-Transferability of Options.  Except as otherwise provided in this
          ------------------------------
Section, Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred,
or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised or purchased during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrator may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Options
to be granted to an Optionee to be transferred by such Optionee to (i) the
spouse, children or grandchildren of such Optionee ("Immediate Family Members"),
(ii) a trust of trusts for the benefit of an Immediate Family Member, or (iii) a
partnership in which Immediate Family Members are the only partners, provided,
that (x) there is no consideration for such transfer, (y) the Option Agreement
expressly provides for the transfer of the Options in accordance with this
Section, and (z) subsequent transfers of such Options are prohibited except by
or in accordance with the laws of descent or distribution.

     13.  Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
          ------------------------
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee, Director or
Consultant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the
date of such grant.

     14.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          (a)  Amendment and Termination.  The Board or the Administrator may at
               -------------------------
     any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

          (b)  Stockholder Approval.  To the extent necessary and desirable to
               --------------------
     comply with Applicable Laws, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval
     of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

          (c)  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration,
               ----------------------------------
     suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
     Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
     Administrator,

                                       12
<PAGE>

     which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the
     Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's
     ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to
     Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

     15.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
          ----------------------------------

          (a)  Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
               ----------------
     exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance
     and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant
     provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
     1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
     thereunder, and the requirements of any Stock Exchange.

          (b)  Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an
               --------------------------
     Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to
     represent and warrant to the Company in writing at the time of any such
     exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
     without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares, and will
     not be sold or transferred other than pursuant to an effective registration
     thereof under the Exchange Act or pursuant to an exemption applicable under
     the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations
     promulgated thereunder.  The certificates evidencing any such Shares shall
     be appropriately legended to reflect their status as restricted securities.

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

          (c)  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.

          (d)  The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under

     provisions inconsistent with such Rule shall be inoperative and shall not
     affect the validity of the Plan.

          (e)  The Administrator may make such changes as may be necessary or
     appropriate to comply with the rules and regulations of any government
     authority, or to obtain for Employees granted ISOs the tax benefits under

                                       3
<PAGE>

          authorization and Plan enrollment form provided by the Company. Once

          any termination or withdrawal as provided in Section 5(c). Payroll
          deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payroll
          following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payroll in
          Purchase Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless
          sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 5(c). An
          eligible Employee may authorize payroll deductions at the rate of any
          whole percentage of the Employee's Pay, in an amount not exceeding ten

     (b)  Modification of Payroll Deduction.  A Participant may decrease his or
          ---------------------------------
          her rate of payroll deductions at any time in accordance with
          procedures prescribed by the Administrator.  A Participant may
          increase his or her rate of payroll deductions only effective on the
          first payroll date following the next Purchase Date by filing a new
          payroll deduction authorization and Plan enrollment form.

     (c)  Discontinuance of Participation.  A Participant may discontinue
          -------------------------------
          participation in the Plan at any time during a Purchase Period by
          completing and filing a new payroll deduction authorization and Plan
          enrollment form with the Company.

          If a Participant discontinues participation during a Purchase Period,
          his or her accumulated payroll deductions will remain in the Plan for
          purchase of shares as specified in Section 7 on the following Purchase
          Date, but the Participant will not again participate until he or she
          re-enrolls in the Plan. Alternatively, participants may request a cash
          distribution of monies accumulated but not yet distributed by
          following procedures specified by the Administrator. The Administrator
          may (1) establish rules limiting the frequency with which Participants
          may discontinue and resume payroll deductions under the Plan and may
          impose a waiting period on Participants wishing to resume payroll
          deductions following discontinuance, and (2) change the rules
          regarding discontinuance of participation or changes in participation
          in the Plan.

          In the event any Participant terminates employment with the Company
          for any reason (including death) prior to the expiration of a Purchase
          Period, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall terminate
          and all accumulated payroll deductions credited to the Participant's
          account shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant's estate
          without interest (except where required by local law).

     (d)  Failure to Follow Procedures.  If a Participant has not followed
          ----------------------------
          procedures prescribed by the Administrator to change the rate of
          payroll deductions or to discontinue the payroll deductions, the rate
          of payroll deductions shall continue at

                                       4
<PAGE>

          the originally elected rate throughout the Purchase Period and future
          Purchase Periods (or any lower maximum rate then in effect).

     (e)  Tax Withholding.  At the time the option is exercised, or at the time
          ---------------
          the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the
          Participant must make adequate provision for the Company's federal,
          state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
          the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock.  At
          any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from
          the Participant's Pay the amount necessary for the Company to meet
          applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required
          to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits
          attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the
          Employee.

6.   Offering.
     --------

     (a)  Maximum Number of Shares. The maximum number of Shares that may be
          ------------------------
          sold under the Plan is [Number of Shares] [(000,000)], subject to
          adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided
          in Section 9.  Shares sold under the Plan may be either authorized and
          unissued Shares or issued Shares heretofore or hereafter acquired and
          held as treasury Shares, as the Administrator may from time to time
          determine. If on a given Purchase Date the number of shares with
          respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of
          shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro
          rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as
          uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to
          be equitable.

     (b)  Purchase Periods.  The Plan will operate with successive semi-annual
          ----------------
          Purchase Periods after the initial Purchase Period with a new Purchase
          Period commencing on the first business day of July and January of
          each year, or on such other date as the Administrator shall determine,
          and continuing thereafter until terminated in accordance with Sections
          12 or 13 hereof.  The Administrator shall have the power to change the
          duration of the Purchase Periods with respect to future offerings
          without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least
          fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first
          Purchase Period to be affected.

     (c)  Option to Purchase.  With respect to each Purchase Period, each
          ------------------
          eligible Employee who has elected to participate as provided in
          Section 5(a) shall be granted an option to purchase the number of
          shares of Common Stock which may be purchased with the payroll
          deductions accumulated in an account maintained on behalf of such
          Employee during each Purchase Period at the purchase price specified
          in subparagraph (d) below, subject to the limitation contained in this
          subparagraph (c). No Participant shall have the right to purchase more
          than an aggregate of $25,000 of Shares under the Plan and any other
          employee stock purchase plan of the Company described in Section 423
          of the Code, in any calendar year, based upon the Fair Market Value
          per Share of such Common Stock (determined at the time

                                       5
<PAGE>

          such option is granted). The foregoing sentence shall be interpreted
          so as to comply with Code Section 423(b)(8).

     (d)  Option Price.  The option price under each option shall be the lower
          ------------
          of: (i) a percentage (not less than eighty-five percent (85%))
          established by the Administrator ("Designated Percentage") of the Fair
          Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date on which an
          option is granted, or (ii) the Designated Percentage of the Fair
          Market Value of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date.  The
          Administrator may change the Designated Percentage with respect to any
          future Purchase Period, but not below eighty-five percent (85%), and
          the Administrator may determine with respect to any prospective
          Purchase Period that the option price shall be the Designated
          Percentage of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
          Purchase Date.

7.   Purchase of Stock.
     -----------------

     Upon the expiration of each Purchase Period, a Participant's option shall
be exercised automatically for the purchase of that number of full and
fractional shares of Common Stock which the accumulated payroll deductions
credited to the Participant's account at that time shall purchase at the
applicable price specified in Section 6(d), subject to Section 6(c).

8.   Payment and Delivery.
     --------------------

     Upon the exercise of an option on each Purchase Date, the Company or
Affiliate shall deliver to the Participant a record of the Common Stock
purchased, except as specified below.  Shares to be delivered to a Participant
under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or, if the
Participant so directs by written notice to the Administrator prior to the
Purchase Date, in the names of the Participant and one such other person as may
be designated by the Participant, as joint tenants with rights of survivorship,
to the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.  The Administrator may permit or
require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the
Administrator (or a broker selected by the Administrator) or to a designated
agent of the Company, and the Administrator may utilize electronic or automated
methods of share transfer.  The Administrator may require that shares be
retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time (and may
restrict dispositions during that period) and/or may establish other procedures
to permit tracking of disqualifying dispositions of such shares or to restrict
transfer of such shares.  The Administrator may require that shares purchased
under the Plan shall automatically participate in a dividend reinvestment plan
or program maintained by the Company.  The Company shall retain the amount of
payroll deductions used to purchase Common Stock as full payment for the Common
Stock and the Common Stock shall then be fully paid and non-assessable.  No
Participant shall have any voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with
respect to shares subject to any option granted under the Plan until the shares
subject to the option have been purchased and delivered to the Participant as
provided in Section 8.

9.   Recapitalization.
     ----------------

                                       6
<PAGE>

     (a)  If after the grant of an option, but prior to the purchase of Common
          Stock under the option, there is any increase or decrease in the
          number of outstanding shares of Common Stock because of a stock split,
          stock dividend, combination or recapitalization of shares subject to
          options, the number of shares to be purchased pursuant to an option,
          the share limit of Section 6(c) and the maximum number of shares
          specified in Section 6(a) shall be proportionately increased or
          decreased, the terms relating to the purchase price with respect to
          the option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Administrator, and
          the Administrator shall take any further actions which, in the
          exercise of its discretion, may be necessary or appropriate under the
          circumstances.

     (b)  The Administrator, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
          discretion, also may adjust the number of shares specified in Section
          6(a), as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
          outstanding option and the maximum number of shares subject to any
          individual option, in the event the Company effects one or more
          reorganizations, recapitalizations, spin-offs, split-ups, rights
          offerings or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock.

     (c)  The Administrator's determinations under this Section 9 shall be
          conclusive and binding on all parties.

10.  Merger, Liquidation, Other Corporation Transactions.
     ---------------------------------------------------

     (a)  In the event of the proposed liquidation or dissolution of the
          Company, the Purchase Period then in progress will terminate
          immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed liquidation or
          dissolution, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in its
          sole discretion, and all outstanding options shall automatically
          terminate and the amounts of all payroll deductions will be refunded
          without interest to the Participants.

     (b)  In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the
          assets of the Company, or the merger or consolidation of the Company
          with or into another corporation, then in the sole discretion of the
          Administrator, (1) each option shall be assumed or an equivalent
          option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or parent or
          subsidiary of such successor corporation, (2) a date established by
          the Administrator on or before the date of consummation of such
          merger, consolidation or sale shall be treated as an Exercise Date,
          and all outstanding options shall be deemed exercisable on such date
          or (3) all outstanding options shall terminate and the accumulated
          payroll deductions shall be returned to the Participants, without
          interest.

11.  Transferability.
     ---------------

     Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant's account nor any
rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the
Plan may be voluntarily or involuntarily assigned, transferred, pledged, or
otherwise disposed of in any way other than by

                                       7
<PAGE>

will or the laws of descent and distribution or by a "qualified domestic
relations order" under the Code, and any other attempted assignment, transfer,
pledge, or other disposition shall be null and void and without effect. If a
Participant in any manner attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his
or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than as permitted by the Code,
such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to discontinue
participation in the Plan pursuant to Section 5(c). Any option granted to a
Participant under the Plan may be exercised only by the Participant during his
or her lifetime.

12.  Term of Plan.
     ------------

     The Plan shall continue for a ten year term measured from its Effective
Date, unless previously terminated in accordance with Section 13.

13.  Amendment or Termination of the Plan.
     ------------------------------------

     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, insofar as permitted by law,
terminate or suspend the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever.
No such termination shall affect options previously granted and exercised, nor
shall any amendment make any change in any option theretofore granted which
would adversely affect the rights of any Participant.  No revision or amendment
shall be made without prior approval of the stockholders if such amendment
would:

     (a)  materially increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, other
          than an adjustment under Section 9 of the Plan;

     (b)  materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation
          in the Plan, except as otherwise specified in this Plan;

     (c)  reduce the purchase price specified in Section 6(d), except as
          specified in Section 9; or

     (d)  extend the term of the Plan beyond the date specified in Section 12.

14.  Use of Funds.
     ------------

     All payroll deductions received or held by the Company or Affiliate under
the Plan may be used by the Company or by the Affiliate for any corporate
purpose, and may be commingled with its other corporate funds. No interest shall
be paid or credited to the Participant with respect to such payroll deductions
except where required by local law as determined by the Administrator.

15.  Local Law.
     ---------

     The Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation
and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local
laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrator is specifically

                                       8
<PAGE>

authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll
deductions, payment of interest, payroll tax, withholding procedures and
handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements.

16.  Securities Laws Compliance.
     --------------------------

     The Company shall not be under any obligation to issue Common Stock upon
the exercise of any option unless and until the Company has determined that: (i)
it and the Participant have taken all actions required to register the Common
Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, or to perfect an exemption from the
registration requirements thereof; (ii) any applicable listing requirement of
any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and
(iii) all other applicable provisions of state and federal law have been
satisfied.

     As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the
person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such shares if such a representation is
required by Applicable Law.

17.  Notices.
     -------

     All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company or
Affiliate under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been
given when received by the Administrator or when received in the form specified
by the Administrator at the location, or by the person, designated by the
Administrator for the receipt thereof.

18.  No Enlargement of Employee Rights.
     ---------------------------------

     Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the
right to be retained in the employ of the Company or of the Affiliate or to
interfere with the right of the Company or Affiliate to discharge any Employee
at any time.

19.  Regulations and Other Approvals; Governing Law.
     ----------------------------------------------

     (a)  This Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall be
          construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
          Illinois.

     (b)  This Plan and the Company's obligation to sell and deliver Shares
          under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, and the
          obtaining of such approvals by governmental agencies required in
          connection with the Plan or the authorization, issuance, sale, or
          delivery of stock hereunder.

20.  Notice of Disqualifying Disposition.
     -----------------------------------

     The Administrator may require, as a condition of participation in the Plan,
that a Participant agree to promptly notify the Company of any disposition of
Shares acquired pursuant to an option granted under the Plan within two years of
the grant date of the applicable option or

                                       9
<PAGE>

within one year of the transfer of the Shares to him or her (a "disqualifying
disposition"), and the number of Shares disposed of.

21.  Effective Date; Stockholder Approval.
     ------------------------------------

     This Plan shall become effective upon the effective date of the S-1
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to an initial public
offering of its Shares, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company
within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board of
Directors ("Effective Date").  Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in
the degree and manner required under Applicable Law.  All Shares issued under
the Plan shall become void in the event such approval is not obtained. No
options shall be granted under the Plan prior to such effective date.
