to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant
(the "Notice of Grant"), at the exercise price per share set forth in the Notice
of Grant (the "Exercise Price"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
anywhere else in this Stock Option Agreement, this grant of an Option is subject
to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Plan adopted by the Company,
which is incorporated herein by reference. This Option is not intended to, and

Option Agreement, Shares subject to this Option shall vest based on Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant.

              (ii)  This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

              (iii) In the event of Optionee's termination of Continuous Status
as an Employee or Consultant, the exercisability of the Option is governed by

Notice (in the form attached as Exhibit A).  The Notice must state the number of
                                ---------
Shares for which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations
and agreements with respect to such shares of Common Stock as may be required by
the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan or as may be necessary in
order for the Company to comply with Applicable Laws. The Notice must be signed
by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company. The Notice must be accompanied by payment of the
Exercise Price, including payment of any applicable withholding tax. This Option
shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written
Notice accompanied by the Exercise Price and payment of any applicable
withholding tax.

         No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless
such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.  Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred
to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to
such Shares.

     3.  Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of

Stock that (i) in the case of shares acquired upon exercise of an option granted
by the Company either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option shall be
exercised;

         (d)  with the consent of the Administrator in its sole and absolute
discretion, authorization from 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;

         (e)  with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to
pay the exercise price;

         (f)  with the consent of the Administrator, a combination of any of the

         (h)  with the consent of the Administrator, such other consideration

Applicable Laws.

exercise or if the method of payment for such shares would constitute a
violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or
regulation, then the Option may also not be exercised. The Company may require
Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be
required by any applicable law or regulation before allowing the Option to be
exercised.

     5.  Termination of Relationship.  If Optionee terminates Continuous Status
         ---------------------------
as an Employee or Consultant for any reason, Optionee may exercise this Option

Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, or if Optionee does not exercise
this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of the Optionee.

          No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless
such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed.  Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred
to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to
such Shares.

     3.  Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of
         -----------------
the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

         (a)  cash;

         (b)  check;

         (c)  with the consent of the Administrator, other shares of Common
Stock that (i) in the case of shares acquired upon exercise of an option granted
by the Company either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the shares as to which said Option shall be
exercised;

         (d)  with the consent of the Administrator in its sole and absolute
discretion, authorization from the Company to retain from the total number of
shares as to which the Option

                                       3

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;

         (e)  with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to

foregoing methods of payment at least equal in value to the stated capital
represented by the Shares to be issued, plus a promissory note for the balance
of the exercise price; or

         (h)  with the consent of the Administrator, such other consideration
and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under
Applicable Laws.

     4.  Restrictions on Exercise.  If the issuance of Shares upon such
         ------------------------
exercise or if the method of payment for such shares would constitute a
violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or
regulation, then the Option may also not be exercised. The Company may require
Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be
required by any applicable law or regulation before allowing the Option to be
exercised.

     5.  Termination of Relationship.  If Optionee terminates Continuous Status
         ---------------------------
as an Employee or Consultant for any reason, Optionee may exercise this Option
during the Termination Period set out in the Notice of Grant, to the extent the
Option was vested at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee
was not vested in this Option at the date on which Optionee terminates
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant, or if Optionee does not exercise
this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

     6.  Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in
         -----------------------------
any manner except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.  It may be
exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  The terms of this
Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of the Optionee.

     7.  Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set
         --------------
out in the Notice of Grant.
