Initial Plan hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as the Vitria

given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the stock of the
Company through the granting of (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory
Stock Options, (iii) stock bonuses, (iv) rights to purchase restricted stock,
and (v) stock appreciation rights, all as defined below.

   (c) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of
persons who are now Employees or Directors of or Consultants to the Company or
its Affiliates, to secure and retain the services of new Employees, Directors
and Consultants, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum
efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates.

   (d) The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the Plan shall, in
the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which responsibility for
administration of the Plan has been delegated pursuant to subsection 3(c), be
either (i) Options granted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, including Incentive
Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, (ii) stock bonuses or rights to
purchase restricted stock granted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, or (iii) stock
appreciation rights granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof. All Options shall be

incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined
in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment.

   In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded
at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary
to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code,
of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred
payment arrangement.

   (e) Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option
shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder
only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may,
by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the
Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

   (f) Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Nonstatutory Stock
Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall not be transferable except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, to the extent provided in
the Option Agreement, to such further extent as permitted by Section
260.140.41(d) of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the time of
the grant of the Option, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Optionholder only by the Optionholder. A Nonstatutory Stock Option granted on or
after the Listing Date shall be

                                       10.

<PAGE>

transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Nonstatutory
Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder
only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may,
by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the
Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

   (g) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to
an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic
installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such
other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which
may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem
appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The
provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions
governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may
be exercised.

   (h) Minimum Vesting Prior to the Listing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing
subsection 6(g), to the extent that the following restrictions on vesting are
required by Section 260.140.41(f) of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations at the time of the grant of the Option, then:

       (i) Options granted prior to the Listing Date to an Employee who is not
an Officer, Director or Consultant shall provide for vesting of the total number
of shares of Common Stock at a rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year
over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject to reasonable
conditions such as continued employment; and

       (ii) Options granted prior to the Listing Date to Officers, Directors or
Consultants may be made fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such
as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the
Company.

   (i) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that
the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of
termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i)
the date three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder's
Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option
Agreement, which period shall not be less than thirty (30) days for Options
granted prior to the Listing Date unless such termination is for cause), or (ii)
the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option
within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

   (j) Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may
also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the
Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of
shares of Common Stock would violate the

                                       11.

<PAGE>

registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall
terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set
forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months
after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the
exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration
requirements.

   (k) Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the
Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder
was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12)
months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in
the Option Agreement, which period shall not be less than six (6) months for
Options granted prior to the Listing Date) or (ii) the expiration of the term of
the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the
Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate.

   (l) Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous
Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the
Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement
after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason
other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the
Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by
the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the
option upon the Optionholder's death, but only within the period ending on the
earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or
such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which period
shall not be less than six (6) months for Options granted prior to the Listing
Date) or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

   (m) Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby
the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous
Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of
Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option.
Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), any unvested shares
of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of
the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.

   (n) Right of Repurchase. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection
11(h), the Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Company may
elect, prior to the Listing Date, to repurchase all or any part of the vested
shares of Common Stock acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the exercise of
the Option.

   (o) Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to exercise a right of
first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to
transfer all or any part of the shares of Common Stock received upon the
exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided

                                       12.

<PAGE>

in this subsection, such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any
applicable provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.

   (p) Re-Load Options. Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board
or Committee to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board or
Committee shall have the authority (but not an obligation) to include as part of
any Option Agreement a provision entitling the Optionholder to a further Option
(a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionholder exercises the Option
evidenced by the Option Agreement, in whole or in part, by surrendering other
shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Plan and the terms and conditions
of the Option Agreement. Any such Re-Load Option (i) shall be for a number of
shares equal to the number of shares surrendered as part or all of the exercise
price of such Option; (ii) shall have an expiration date which is the same as
the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which gave rise to such
Re-Load Option; and (iii) shall have an exercise price which is equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to
the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option or, in the
case of a Re-Load Option which is an Incentive Stock Option and which is granted
to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall have an exercise price which is equal to one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the
Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option.

   Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, as the Board or Committee may designate at the time of the grant
of the original Option; provided, however, that the designation of any Re-Load
Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand
dollar ($100,000) annual limitation on exercisability of Incentive Stock Options
described in subsection 11(c) of the Plan and in Section 422(d) of the Code.
There shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option. Any such Re-Load Option
shall be subject to the availability of sufficient shares under subsection 4(a)
and the "Section 162(m) Limitation" on the grants of Options under subsection
5(c), and shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board or
Committee may determine.

7. PROVISIONS OF STOCK BONUSES AND PURCHASES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

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

       (i) Consideration. A stock bonus may be awarded in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit.

       (ii) Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h),
shares of Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement may, but need
not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of the Company in
accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

                                       13.

<PAGE>

       (iii) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the
"Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the
shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the
date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus agreement.

       (iv) Transferability. For a stock bonus award made before the Listing
Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement
shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant
only by the Participant. For a stock bonus award made on or after the Listing
Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the stock bonus agreement
shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as
are set forth in the stock bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its
discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the stock bonus agreement
remains subject to the terms of the stock bonus agreement.

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

       (i) Purchase Price. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b)
regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the purchase price under each restricted
stock purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board shall determine and
designate in such restricted stock purchase agreement. For restricted stock
awards made prior to the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on the date
such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated. For restricted
stock awards made on or after the Listing Date, the purchase price shall not be
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Common Stock's Fair Market Value on
the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated.

       (ii) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at
the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board, according to a
deferred payment or other similar arrangement with the Participant; or (iii) in
any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its
discretion; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is incorporated
in Delaware, then payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as defined in the
Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment.

       (iii) Vesting. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection
11(h), shares of Common Stock acquired under the restricted stock purchase
agreement may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option in favor of
the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

                                       14.

<PAGE>

       (iv) Termination of Participant's Continuous Service. Subject to the
"Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 11(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire
any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not
vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the restricted stock
purchase agreement.

       (v) Transferability. For a restricted stock award made before the Listing
Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the restricted stock
purchase agreement shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
Participant only by the Participant. For a restricted stock award made on or
after the Listing Date, rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the
restricted stock purchase agreement shall be transferable by the Participant
only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the restricted stock
purchase agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as
Common Stock awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains
subject to the terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement.

8. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

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

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

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

                                       15.

<PAGE>

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

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

9. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

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

   (b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the Stock Award; provided,
however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under
the Securities Act either the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or
issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the
Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the
authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance
and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any
liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards
unless and until such authority is obtained.

10. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

                                       16.

<PAGE>

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

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

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

   (b) Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted
pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director, Consultant or other
holder of Stock Awards any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
Affiliate (or to continue acting as a Director or Consultant) or shall affect
the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or
relationship as a Director or Consultant of any Employee, Director, Consultant
or other holder of Stock Awards with or without cause.

   (c) To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted
after 1986 are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any
calendar year under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which
exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

   (d) The Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is granted, or
any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred, as a condition of exercising or
acquiring stock under any Stock Award, (1) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company as to such person's knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative
reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in
financial and business matters, and that he or she is capable of evaluating,
alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of
exercising the Stock Award; and (2) to give written assurances satisfactory to
the Company stating that such person is acquiring the stock subject to the Stock
Award for such person's own account and not with any present intention of
selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The foregoing requirements, and any
assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (iii)
the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under the
Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, or (iv) as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not
be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The
Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or
appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but
not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

   (e) To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the
person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal, state or local
tax withholding obligation

                                       17.

<PAGE>

relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock under a Stock Award by any of
the following means or by a combination of such means: (1) tendering a cash
payment; (2) authorizing the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the
Common Stock otherwise issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise
or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award; or (3) delivering to the Company
owned and unencumbered shares of the Common Stock.

   (f) The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock
Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part
thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in
the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time
during which it will vest.

   (g) Prior to the Listing Date, to the extent required by Section 260.140.46
of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver
financial statements to Participants at least annually. This subsection 11(g)
shall not apply to key Employees whose duties in connection with the Company
assure them access to equivalent information.

   (h) The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock Award
and may be either at Fair Market Value at the time of repurchase or at not less
than the original purchase price. To the extent required by Section 260.140.41
and Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations at the
time a Stock Award is made, any repurchase option contained in a Stock Award
granted prior to the Listing Date to a person who is not an Officer, Director or
Consultant shall be upon the terms described below:

       (i) If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase
the shares of Common Stock upon termination of employment at not less than the
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock to be purchased on the date of
termination of Continuous Service, then (i) the right to repurchase shall be
exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares
of Common Stock within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or
in the case of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after
such date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the
exercise) or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the
Participant (for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section
1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding "qualified small business stock") and (ii) the
right terminates when the shares of Common Stock become publicly traded.

       (ii) If the repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase
the shares of Common Stock upon termination of Continuous Service at the
original purchase price, then (i) the right to repurchase at the original
purchase price shall lapse at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the
shares of Common Stock per year over five (5) years from the date the Stock
Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock Award was exercised or
became exercisable) and (ii) the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash
or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the shares of Common Stock
within ninety (90) days of termination of Continuous Service (or in the case of
shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Options after such date of
termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such
longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for

                                       18.

<PAGE>

example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of
the Code regarding "qualified small business stock").

12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

   (a) If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject
to any Stock Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock
dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the
Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum
number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and the
maximum number of securities subject to award to any person pursuant to
subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted
in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock
subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments,
and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction
"without receipt of consideration" by the Company.)

   (b) In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all
outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event.

   (c) In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation
in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger
in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the
merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or
otherwise, then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation shall assume
any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar stock
awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the
stockholders in the transaction described in this subsection 12(c) for those
outstanding under the Plan. In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation refuses to assume such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock
awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then the vesting of outstanding
Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be
exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if
not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event. Stock Awards shall
terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event.

   (d) After the Listing Date, in the event of an acquisition by any person,
entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange
Act, or any comparable successor provisions (excluding any employee benefit
plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or an Affiliate)
of the beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rule) of securities of the Company
representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power entitled
to vote in the election of Directors, then the vesting of outstanding Stock
Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be
exercised) shall be accelerated in full.

                                       19.

<PAGE>

13. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

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

with respect to which an Option shall be granted to each such person.

       (ii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Options granted under it, and

       (i) General. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a
Committee or Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term
"Committee" shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been
delegated. If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall
have, in connection with the

<PAGE>

administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board,
including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative
powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to

Plan.

       (iv) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any Option shall for
any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having
been exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the Plan. However, if any Common

<PAGE>

more than Four Million Eight Hundred Thousand (4,800,000)3 shares of the Common
Stock during any calendar year. This subsection 5(c) shall not apply prior to
the Listing Date and, following the Listing Date, this subsection 5(c) shall not
apply until (i) the earliest of: (1) the first material modification of the Plan
(including any increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the

Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (3) the expiration of the

required by Section 162(m) of the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

6. OPTION PROVISIONS.

   Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions
as the Board shall deem appropriate. All Options shall be separately designated
Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant, and
a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares purchased on
exercise of each type of Option. The provisions of separate Options need not be
identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions
hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the
following provisions:

   (a) Term. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent
Stockholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the
expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted.

   (b) Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of
subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each
Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is
granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted
with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if
such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another
option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

   (c) Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an Option
shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations,
either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion
of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently in the case
of a Nonstatutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common
Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other arrangement (which may
include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other
Common Stock) with the Optionholder or (3) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board; provided, however, that at
any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common
Stock's "par value," as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall
not be made by deferred payment.

--------------------
3  The initial 1.2 million share number was adjusted to 2.4 million shares in
January 2000 pursuant to a 2-for-1 stock split. This number was adjusted to 4.8
million shares in April 2000 pursuant to a 2-for-1 stock split.

                                       7

<PAGE>

   In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded
at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary
to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code,
of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred
payment arrangement.

   (d) Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option
shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder
only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may,
by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the
Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the
Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

   (e) Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. A Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If
the Nonstatutory Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form
satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the
death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

   (f) Vesting Generally. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to
an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic
installments which may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to
such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised
(which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem
appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. The
provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions
governing the minimum number of shares as to which an Option may be exercised.

   (g) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that
the Optionholder was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination) but
only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3)
months following the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (or
such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If,
after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

   (h) Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder's Option Agreement may
also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the
Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's death or
Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of
shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act,
then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term
of the Option set forth in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of
three (3)

                                       8

<PAGE>

months after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during
which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration
requirements.

   (i) Disability of Optionholder. In the event an Optionholder's Continuous
Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's Disability, the
Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder
was entitled to exercise it as of the date of termination), but only within such
period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months
following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the
Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth
in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate.

   (j) Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder's Continuous
Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death or (ii) the
Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement
after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason
other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the
Optionholder was entitled to exercise the Option as of the date of death) by the
Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon
the Optionholder's death pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 6(f), but only within
the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date eighteen (18) months following
the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option
Agreement) or (2) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

   (k) Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby
the Optionholder may elect at any time before the Optionholder's Continuous
Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares
subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested
shares so purchased may be subject to an unvested share repurchase option in
favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be
appropriate.

   (l) Right of Repurchase. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to repurchase all or
any part of the vested shares acquired by the Optionholder pursuant to the
exercise of the Option.

   (m) Right of First Refusal. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Company may elect, prior to the Listing Date, to exercise a right of
first refusal following receipt of notice from the Optionholder of the intent to
transfer all or any part of the shares received upon the exercise of the Option.
Except as expressly provided in this subsection 6(n), such right of first
refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the Bylaws of
the Company.

   (n) Re-Load Options. Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board
to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board shall have the
authority (but not an obligation) to include as part of any Option Agreement a
provision entitling the Optionholder to a further Option (a "Re-Load Option") in
the event the Optionholder exercises the Option

                                       9

<PAGE>

evidenced by the Option Agreement, in whole or in part, by surrendering other
shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Plan and the terms and conditions
of the Option Agreement. Any such Re-Load Option shall (i) provide for a number
of shares equal to the number of shares surrendered as part or all of the
exercise price of such Option; (ii) have an expiration date which is the same as
the expiration date of the Option the exercise of which gave rise to such
Re-Load Option; and (iii) have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the
Re-Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Re-Load Option shall be subject to the same exercise price and
term provisions heretofore described for Options under the Plan.

   Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, as the Board may designate at the time of the grant of the
original Option; provided, however, that the designation of any Re-Load Option
as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand dollar
($100,000) annual limitation on the exercisability of Incentive Stock Options
described in subsection 9(d) and in Section 422(d) of the Code. There shall be
no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option. Any such Re-Load Option shall be subject
to the availability of sufficient shares under subsection 4(a) and the "Section
162(m) Limitation" on the grants of Options under subsection 5(c) and shall be
subject to such other terms and conditions as the Board may determine which are
not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan regarding the terms of
Options.

7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

   (a) Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Options, the Company
shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required
to satisfy such Options.

   (b) Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each
regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority
as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of the Options; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not
require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or
any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable
efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or
agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the
lawful issuance and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved
from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such
Options unless and until such authority is obtained.

8. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

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

9.       MISCELLANEOUS.

   (a) Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the
power to accelerate the time at which an Option may first be exercised or the
time during which an Option

                                       10

<PAGE>

or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the
provisions in the Option stating the time at which it may first be exercised or
the time during which it will vest.

   (b) Stockholder Rights. No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of,
or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to
such Option unless and until such Optionholder has satisfied all requirements
for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.

   (c) No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any
instrument executed or Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any
Optionholder any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the
capacity in effect at the time the Option was granted or shall affect the right
of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee
with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a
Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company
or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the
Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of
the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may
be.

   (d) Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and
its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or
portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they
were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

   (e) Investment Assurances. The Company may require an Optionholder, as a
condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Option, (i) to give written
assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Optionholder's knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser
representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and
experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of
evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and
risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory
to the Company stating that the Optionholder is acquiring the stock subject to
the Option for the Optionholder's own account and not with any present intention
of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The foregoing requirements, and
any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if
(iii) the issuance of the shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under
the Option has been registered under a then currently effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (iv) as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not
be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The
Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or
appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but
not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

   (f) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Option
Agreement, the Optionholder may satisfy any federal, state or local tax
withholding obligation

                                       11

<PAGE>

relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock under an Option by any of the
following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any
compensation paid to the Optionholder by the Company) or by a combination of
such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to
withhold shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Optionholder as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the
Option; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the
Common Stock.

   (g) Cancellation and Re-Grant of Options.

       (i) Authority to Reprice. The Board or the Committee shall have the
authority to effect, at any time and from time to time with the consent of any
adversely affected Optionholder, (i) the reduction of the exercise price of any
outstanding Option under the Plan to the then Fair Market Value and/or (ii) the
cancellation of any outstanding Options under the Plan in exchange for (A) the
grant of a stock bonus; (B) the grant of restricted stock; (C) cash; (D) the
grant in substitution therefor of new Options under the Plan having an exercise
price per share not less than as provided for new option grants made under the
Plan; or (E) any other valuable consideration (as determined by the Board in its
sole discretion). The Board shall determine the exchange ratio (which may be for
more or less shares of stock than those then subject to the outstanding Option)
in its sole discretion as well as all other terms of the exchange not
specifically provided for in this paragraph.

       (ii) Effect of Repricing under Section 162(m) of the Code. Shares subject
to an Option which is amended or canceled in order to set a lower exercise price
per share shall continue to be counted against the maximum award of Options
permitted to be granted pursuant to subsection 5(c). The repricing of an Option
under this subsection 9(g) resulting in a reduction of the exercise price shall
be deemed to be a cancellation of the original Option and the grant of a
substitute Option; in the event of such repricing, both the original and the
substituted Options shall be counted against the maximum awards of Options
permitted to be granted pursuant to subsection 5(c). The provisions of this
subsection 9(g)(ii) shall be applicable only to the extent required by Section
162(m) of the Code.

10. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

   (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the stock subject to
the Plan, or subject to any Option, without the receipt of consideration by the
Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change
in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the
class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to
subsection 4(a) and the maximum number of securities subject to award to any
person pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Options will be
appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per
share of stock subject to such outstanding Options. The Board shall make such
adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as
a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the Company.)

                                       12

<PAGE>

   (b) Change in Control--Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall
terminate immediately prior to such event.

   (c) Change in Control--Asset Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Reverse Merger.
In the event of: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation but the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding
immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into
other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise then to the
extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any surviving corporation shall assume
any Options outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar Options for
those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) such Options shall continue in full
force and effect. In the event any surviving corporation refuses to assume or
continue such Options, or to substitute similar Options for those outstanding
under the Plan, then vesting under any such awards shall be accelerated and such
Options shall be terminated if not exercised prior to such event. In the event
of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Options outstanding under
the Plan shall terminate if not exercised prior to such event.

   (d) Change in Control--Securities Acquisition. After the Listing Date, in the
event of an acquisition by any person, entity or group within the meaning of
Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act, or any comparable successor
provisions (excluding any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or
maintained by the Company or an Affiliate) of the beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable
successor rule) of securities of the Company representing at least fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote in the election of
Directors, then with respect to Options held by Optionholders whose Continuous
Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Options shall be accelerated in
full.

   (e) Change in Control--Change in Incumbent Board. After the Listing Date, in
the event that the individuals who, as of the date of the adoption of this Plan,
are members of the Board (the "Incumbent Board"), cease for any reason to
constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the Board, then with respect to
Options held by persons whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting
of such Options shall be accelerated in full. If the election, or nomination for
election, by the Company's stockholders of any new Director was approved by a
vote of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Incumbent Board, such new Director
shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.

11. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS.

   (a) Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may
amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 10 relating to
adjustments upon changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless
approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval
is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3
or any Nasdaq or securities exchange listing requirements.

                                       13

<PAGE>

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

   (c) Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may
amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide
eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under
the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating
to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock
Options granted under it into compliance therewith.

   (d) No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Option granted before amendment
of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder
consents in writing.

   (e) Amendment of Options. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may
amend the terms of any one or more Options; provided, however, that the rights
under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder
consents in writing.

12. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

   (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the day before the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or approved by
the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. No Options may be granted
under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

   (b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not
impair rights and obligations under any Option granted while the Plan is in
effect except with the written consent of the Optionholder.

13. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

   The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Option
shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved by the
stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be within twelve (12) months
before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

14. CHOICE OF LAW

   All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of
this Plan shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware, without regard
to such state's conflict of laws rules.
