exercised by the Participant shall be as follows:

               (i)    one-fourth of the Options  granted shall vest on the first
                      anniversary of the Date of Grant;

               (ii)   one forty-eighth  (1/48) of the Options granted shall vest
                      on the first day of each month commencing on the first day

                      of the Date of Grant  and  ending  on the first day of the
                      thirty-sixth  month following the first anniversary of the

an offer to acquire all of the shares or substantially  all of the assets of the
Company,  whether  effected  through an acqusition for cash or  securities,  and
whether structured as a purchase, amalgamation, merger, arrangement or otherwise
(in each case, a "Sale  Transaction"),  the board of directors  may, in its sole
discretion,  deal with the Options  issued under the Plan in the manner it deems
fair  and  reasonable  in light of the  circumstances  of the Sale  Transaction.
Without  limiting the  generality of the  foregoing,  in connection  with a Sale
Transaction,  the board of directors may, without any action or consent required
on the part of any Particpant,  (i) deem any or all Options (vested or unvested)
under  the Plan to have  been  exercised  and the  Option  Shares  to have  been
tendered  to the Sale  Transaction,  (ii) apply a portion  of the  Participant's
proceeds from the closing of the Sale  Transaction to the exercise price payable
by that  Participant  for the exercise of his or her  Options,  (iii) cancel the
Options  and pay to a  Participant  the amount that the  Participant  would have
received,  after  deducting the exercise  price of the Options,  had the Options
been  exercised,  (iv) exchange  unvested  Options,  or any portion of them, for
options to  purchase  shares in the capital of the  acquiror or any  corporation
which results from an amalgamation,  merger or similar transaction involving the
Company  made in  connection  with the Sale  Transaction  or (v) take such other
actions,  and  combinations  of the  foregoing  actions,  as it  deems  fair and
reasonable under the circumstances.

7.       Payment

         The Participant  from time to time and at any time after the vesting of
any Options and prior to the lapse of such Options, may elect to purchase all or
a portion of the Option  Shares  available  for  purchase by lump sum payment by
delivering to the Company at its  registered  office,  a completed  Stock Option
Purchase  Form.  Such  Form  shall  specify  the  number of  Option  Shares  the
Participant  desires to purchase and shall be  accompanied by payment in full of
the  purchase  price  for  such  Option  Shares.  Payment  may be made by  cash,
certified cheque, bank draft, money order or the equivalent payable to the order
of Extreme Packet Devices Inc.

8.       Share Certificates

         Upon  exercise of the Option and payment in full of the purchase  price
the Company shall cause to be delivered to the  Participant  within a reasonable
period  of time a  duplicate  certificate  or  certificates  in the  name of the
Participant  representing  the  number  of Option  Shares  the  Participant  has
purchased.  The  original  share  certificate(s)  may be  held in  trust  by the
Company,  to ensure  compliance  with the terms and  conditions  of the Plan and
Stock Option  Agreement,  for delivery to the Participant in accordance with the
Plan and Stock Option Agreement.

9.       Adjustment in Shares

         Appropriate  adjustments  in the number of Common Shares subject to the
Plan and, as regards Options  granted or to be granted,  in the number of Common
Shares optioned and in the Option Price,  shall be made by the Committee to give
effect  to the  adjustments  in the  number  of  Common  Shares  resulting  from
sub-divisions, consolidations or re-classification of the Common Shares or other
relevant changes in the authorized or issued capital of the Company.

         Furthermore,  in the event of any amalgamation,  merger, arrangement or
any  similar  change  affecting  the  Company  or its  securities,  the board of
directors  may, in its sole  discretion,  deal with the Options issued under the
Plan in the manner it deems fair and reasonable in light of the circumstances of
the change, including without limitation,  taking any of the actions outlined in
Section 6 hereof and/or making such other  adjustments to the number and kind of
shares which  thereafter may be offered and sold to Participants  under the Plan
as it may deem equitable.

10.      Termination Of Participant

            (a) Unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board of Directors
and agreed to in writing by the  Company  in the Stock  Option  Agreement  to be

Director  on the  Board for any  reason  other  than  death or  disability,  the

remaining Option Shares that have vested at the time such  employment,  services
or Board  position is terminated  at any time during the 60 day period,  or such
later date as determined by the Board, following the date of such termination of
employment,  services or of Board  position  (but in no event after the lapse of
any Options held),  and upon the expiry of such 60 day period,  all  unexercised
Options held by the Participant  shall lapse. For the purposes of this Plan, the
transfer of the Employee's employment to the Company or to any subsidiary of the
Company shall not be considered a termination  of employment  and the Employee's
rights under the Option shall be the same as if such transfer had not occurred.

            (b) Unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board of Directors
and agreed to in writing by the  Company  in the Stock  Option  Agreement  to be
executed  by the  Participant,  in the event that an  Employee's  employment  or
Consultant's  services with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is terminated
by reason of death or disability  or a Director  shall cease to be a Director on
the  Board  by  reason  of  death  or  disability,   the  Participant,   or  the
Participant's personal representatives may elect to purchase at the Option Price
all or a portion of the  remaining  Option  Shares  that have vested at the time
such employment, services or Board position is terminated at any time during the
90 day period, or such later date as determined by the Board, following the date
of such  termination  of  employment,  services or of Board  position (but in no
event after the lapse of any Options  held),  and upon the expiry of such 90 day
period, all unexercised  Options held by the Participant shall lapse.

            (c) Unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board of Directors
and agreed to in writing by the  Company  in the Stock  Option  Agreement  to be
executed by the  Participant,  in the event that a  Participant's  employment or
services,  as may be applicable,  with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
terminated  by the  Company  for  Cause,  where  "Cause"  shall  mean any act or
omission by the  Participant  which would in law permit an employer to,  without
notice or payment in lieu of notice,  terminate the Participant's  employment or
services, and shall include without limitation the meaning attributed thereto in
the employment agreement or consulting agreement, as may be applicable,  of such
Participant,  the Company may, at its sole discretion, at any time within ninety
(90)  days  from the date of such  termination,  repurchase  any  Common  Shares
purchased  by the  Participant  pursuant  to the  exercise  of  Options  granted
hereunder,  at a price per Common  Share  equal to the  Option  Price per Common
Share.

            (d) Unless otherwise specifically approved by the Board of Directors
and agreed to in writing by the  Company  in the Stock  Option  Agreement  to be
executed by the  Participant,  in the event that a  Participant's  employment or
services,  as may be applicable,  with the Company or any of its subsidiaries is
terminated by the Company without Cause or by reason of death or disability,  or
such  Participant  resigns  from  the  Company,  the  Company  may,  at its sole
discretion,  at any  time  within  ninety  (90)  days  from  the  date  of  such
termination,  repurchase any Common Shares purchased by the Participant pursuant
to the exercise of Options  granted  hereunder at a price per Common Share equal
to the  greater  of (i) fifty  percent  (50%) of the Fair  Market  Value of such
Common  Shares,  and (ii) the Option Price per Common  Share.

11.      Transfer and Assignment

         The  Participant's  rights under Options granted under the Plan are not
assignable  or   transferable  by  the  Participant  or  subject  to  any  other
alienation,   sale,  pledge  or  encumbrance  by  such  Participant  during  the
Participant's  lifetime and  therefore  the Options are  exercisable  during the
Participant's  lifetime  only  by  the  Participant.  The  obligations  of  each
Participant shall be binding on his or her heirs,  executors and administrators.

12.      Employment, Consulting and Board Position Non-Contractual

         The  granting  of an  Option to a  Participant  under the Plan does not
confer  upon the  Participant  any right to continue  in the  employment  of the
Company  or any  subsidiary  of the  Company  or as a  member  of the  Board  of
Directors,  as the case may be, nor does it interfere in any way with the rights
of the  Employee or  Consultant  or of the  Company's  rights to  terminate  the
Employee's  employment  or  Consultants's   services  at  any  time  or  of  the
shareholders'   right  to  elect  directors.
