     1.    
          GRANT; OFFERING DATE. 

        (a)                  The
Board of Directors of Scientific Learning Corporation, a Delaware           corporation
(the “Company”), pursuant to the Company’s 1999           Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the “Plan”), hereby authorizes the grant           of rights to
purchase shares of the common stock of the Company (“Common           Stock”)
to all Eligible Employees (an “Offering”). The first day           of an
Offering is that Offering’s “Offering Date.” An Offering           may
consist of one (1) or more consecutive “Purchase Periods.”          The last
day of each Purchase Period during an Offering shall be a           “Purchase Date” for
that Offering. If an Offering Date or Purchase           Date does not fall on a day
during which the Company’s Common Stock is           actively traded, then the
Offering Date or Purchase Date, as the case may be,           shall be the next
subsequent day during which the Company’s Common Stock is           actively traded.  

        (b)                  Unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, the first Purchase Period of an
          Offering shall begin on the Offering Date and shall end approximately six (6)
          months thereafter on the next February 28 (February 29 during a leap
          year) or August 31, as the case may be. Subsequent Purchase Periods during
          the Offering shall begin each March 1 and September 1 and shall end
          six (6) months thereafter on August 31 or February 28 (February 29
          during a leap year), as the case may be.  

        (c)                  Effective
commencing September 1, 2002, an Offering (the “Re-Start           Offering”)
shall commence on [date to be determined, as specified by the           Board ] and shall
end 12 months thereafter, unless terminated sooner as herein           provided.
Thereafter, an Offering shall begin each year on the anniversary date           of the
commencement of the Re-Start Offering and shall end twelve (12) months           later on
the day prior to the next Offering Date. Each Offering will be divided           into two
(2) consecutive shorter Purchase Periods of six (6) months in           duration.”.  

        (d)                  Prior
to the commencement of any Offering, the Board of Directors (or the           Committee
described in subparagraph 2(c) of the Plan, if any) may change           any or all terms
of such Offering and any subsequent Offerings. The granting of           rights pursuant
to each Offering hereunder shall occur on each respective           Offering Date unless,
prior to such date (a) the Board of Directors (or           such Committee) determines
that such Offering shall not occur, or (b) no           shares remain available for
issuance under the Plan in connection with the           Offering.  

        (e)                  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of an Offering, if the terms of an Offering           as previously
established by the Board of Directors of the Company would, as a           result of a
change to applicable accounting standards, generate a charge to           earnings, such
Offering shall terminate effective as of the day prior to the           date such change
of accounting standards would otherwise first apply to the           Offering (the “Offering
Termination Date”), and such Offering           Termination Date shall be the final
Purchase Date of such Offering. A subsequent           Offering shall commence on such
date and on such terms as shall be provided by           the Board of Directors of the
Company.

3.    RIGHTS. 

        (a)                  Subject
to the limitations contained herein and in the Plan, on each Offering           Date each
Eligible Employee shall be granted the right to purchase the number of           shares
of Common Stock purchasable with up to fifteen percent (15%) of such           Eligible
Employee’s Earnings paid during such Offering; provided,           however,
that no employee may purchase Common Stock on a particular Purchase           Date that
would result in more than fifteen percent (15%) of such           employee’s
Earnings in the period from the Offering Date to such Purchase           Date having been
applied to purchase shares under all ongoing Offerings under           the Plan and all
other Company plans intended to qualify as “employee stock           purchase plans” under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of           1986, as amended (the “Code”).  

        (b)                  For
purposes of this Offering, “Earnings” means the total compensation
          paid to an employee, including all salary, wages (including amounts elected to
          be deferred by the employee, that would otherwise have been paid, under any
cash           or deferred arrangement established by the Company), overtime pay,
commissions,           bonuses, and other remuneration paid directly to the employee, but
excluding           profit sharing, the cost of employee benefits paid for by the
Company, education           or tuition reimbursements, imputed income arising under any
Company group           insurance or benefit program, traveling expenses, business and
moving expense           reimbursements, income received in connection with stock
options, contributions           made by the Company under any employee benefit plan, and
similar items of           compensation.  

        (c)                  Subject
to the limitations contained herein and in the Plan, each employee who           was not
eligible on the Offering Date but who first becomes an Eligible Employee           during
the Offering and prior to the February 20 (February 21 during leap years)
          during the Offering shall, on such March 1 during that Offering, be granted
          the right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable with up
          to fifteen percent (15%) of such employee’s Earnings paid during his or
her           participation in such Offering, which right shall be deemed to be a part of
the           Offering. Such right shall have the same characteristics as any rights
          originally granted under the Offering, except that (i) the date on which
          such a right is granted shall be the “Offering Date” of such right
for           all purposes, including determination of the exercise price of such right;
and           (ii) the Offering for such right shall begin on its Offering Date and end
          coincident with the end of the ongoing Offering.  

2. 

	

        (d)                  The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock an Eligible Employee may purchase           on
any Purchase Date in an Offering shall be such number of shares as has a fair
          market value (determined as of the Offering Date for such Offering) equal to
          (x) $25,000 multiplied by the number of calendar years in which the right
          under such Offering has been outstanding at any time, minus (y) the fair
          market value of any other shares of Common Stock (determined as of the relevant
          Offering Date with respect to such shares) which, for purposes of the
limitation           of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, are attributed to any of such
calendar years           in which the right is outstanding. The amount in clause (y) of
the previous           sentence shall be determined in accordance with regulations
applicable under           Section 423(b)(8) of the Code based on (i) the number of
shares           previously purchased with respect to such calendar years pursuant to
such           Offering or any other Offering under the Plan, or pursuant to any other
Company           plans intended to qualify as “employee stock purchase plans” under
          Section 423 of the Code, and (ii) the number of shares subject to
          other rights outstanding on the Offering Date for such Offering pursuant to the
          Plan or any other such Company plan.  

        (e)                  The
maximum aggregate number of shares available to be purchased by all Eligible
          Employees under an Offering shall be the number of shares remaining available
          under the Plan on the Offering Date. If the aggregate purchase of shares of
          Common Stock upon exercise of rights granted under the Offering would exceed
the           maximum aggregate number of shares available, the Board shall make a pro
rata           allocation of the shares available in a uniform and equitable manner.  

4.    PURCHASE

        The
purchase price of the Common Stock under the Offering shall be the lesser of eighty-five
percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date or
eighty-five percent (85%) of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Purchase
Date, in each case rounded up to the nearest whole cent per share. For the Initial
Offering, the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time when the Offering
commences shall be the price per share at which shares of Common Stock are first sold to
the public in the Company’s initial public offering as specified in the final
prospectus with respect to that offering.  

5.    PARTICIPATION. 

        (a)                  An
Eligible Employee may elect to participate in an Offering only at the           beginning
of the Offering, or such later date specified in           subparagraph 3(c). An Eligible
Employee shall become a participant in an           Offering by delivering an agreement
authorizing payroll deductions. Such           deductions must be in whole dollars or
whole percentages, with a maximum           percentage of fifteen percent (15%) of
Earnings. A participant may not make           additional payments into his or her
account. The agreement shall be made on such           enrollment form as the Company or
a designated Affiliate provides, and must be           delivered to the Company or
designated Affiliate at least ten (10) days before           the Offering Date, or before
such later date specified in           subparagraph 3(c), to be effective, unless a later
time for filing the           enrollment form is set by the Board for all Eligible
Employees with respect to a           given Offering Date. For the Initial Offering, the
time for filing an enrollment           form and commencing participation for individuals
who are Eligible Employees on           the Offering Date for the Initial Offering may be
after the Offering Date, as           determined by the Company and communicated to such
Eligible Employees. (If the           agreement authorizing payroll deductions is
required to be delivered to the           Company or designated Affiliate a specified
number of days before the Offering           Date to be effective, then an employee who
becomes eligible during the required           delivery period shall not be considered to
be an Eligible Employee at the           beginning of the Offering but may elect to
participate during the Offering as           provided in subparagraph 3(c).)  

3. 

	

        (b)                  A
participant may increase or reduce his or her participation level effective as
          of the March 2 following the March 1 Purchase Date during the course
          of an Offering. In addition, a participant may increase or decrease his or her
          participation level prior to the beginning of a new Offering to be effective at
          the beginning of such new Offering. A participant may also reduce his or her
          participation level to zero at any time during an Offering, excluding only each
          ten (10) day period immediately preceding a Purchase Date (or such shorter
          period of time determined by the Company and communicated to participants). Any
          such change in participation shall be made by delivering a notice to the
Company           or a designated Affiliate in such form and at such time as the Company
provides.           Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a participant may
not increase           or decrease his or her participation level during the course of an
Offering.  

        (c)                  A
participant may withdraw from an Offering and receive his or her accumulated
          payroll deductions from the Offering (reduced to the extent, if any, such
          deductions have been used to acquire Common Stock for the participant on any
          prior Purchase Dates), without interest, at any time prior to the end of the
          Offering, excluding only each ten (10) day period immediately preceding a
          Purchase Date (or such shorter period of time determined by the Company and
          communicated to participants) by delivering a withdrawal notice to the Company
          in such form as the Company provides. A participant who has withdrawn from an
          Offering shall not again participate in such Offering but may participate in
          subsequent Offerings under the Plan by submitting a new participation agreement
          in accordance with the terms thereof.  

        (d)                  A
participant shall automatically participate in the Offering commencing
          immediately after the final Purchase Date of each Offering in which the
          participant participates until such time as such participant (i) ceases to
          be an Eligible Employee, (ii) withdraws from the Offering or           (iii)
terminates employment. A participant who automatically participates           in a
subsequent Offering is not required to file any additional enrollment form           for
such subsequent Offering in order to continue participation in the Plan.
          However, a participant may file an enrollment form with respect to such
          subsequent Offering if the participant desires to change any of the
          participant’s elections contained in the participant’s then effective
          enrollment form.  

6.    PURCHASES. 

        Subject
to the limitations contained herein, on each Purchase Date, each participant’s
accumulated payroll deductions (without any increase for interest) shall be applied to
the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock, up to the maximum number of shares
permitted under the Plan and the Offering.

8.     EXERCISE

     3.    
          ADMINISTRATION. 

        (a)              The

          administration to a Committee, as provided in subsection 3(c).  

        (b)              The
Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the
          express provisions of the Plan:  

                        (1)              to
determine from time to time which of the persons eligible under the Plan           shall

4. 

	

        (c)              The

          shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers
          theretofore possessed by the Board (and references in this Plan to the Board
          shall thereafter be to the Committee), subject, however, to such resolutions,
          not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time
to           time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and
revest in           the Board the administration of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in
this           Section 3 to the contrary, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a
          committee of one or more members of the Board the authority to grant Options to
          eligible persons who (1) are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act
          and/or (2) are either (i) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be
          Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such
          Option, or (ii) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply
          with Section 162(m) of the Code.  

     4.    
          SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. 

        (a)              Subject
to the provisions of subsection 12(a) relating to adjustments upon           changes in
stock, the stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall           not exceed
in the aggregate Four Million Six Hundred Forty Two Thousand Six           Hundred Sixty
Six (4,642,666) shares of Common Stock, less any shares which are           subject to
Stock Awards granted under the Company’s 1999 Equity Incentive           Plan, as
then in effect. If any Stock Award 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 Stock Award shall revert to and again become
          available for issuance under the Plan. Shares subject to Stock Appreciation
          Rights exercised in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan shall not be
available           for subsequent issuance under the Plan.  

        (b)              The
stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares,           bought
on the market or otherwise.  

     5.    
          ELIGIBILITY. 

        (a)              Incentive
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights appurtenant thereto may be           granted
only to Employees. Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock Options and           Stock
Appreciation Rights appurtenant thereto may be granted to Employees,           Directors
and Consultants.  

        (b)    Ten
Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be granted           an
Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least           one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on           the
date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five
          (5) years from the date of grant.  

        (c)              Subject
to the provisions of Section 12(a) relating to adjustments upon changes           in
stock, no employee shall be eligible to be granted Options and Stock
          Appreciation Rights covering more than One Million (1,000,000) shares of the
          Common Stock in any calendar year.  

5. 

	

     6.    
          OPTION PROVISIONS. 

        Each
Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board
shall deem appropriate. 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. No
Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration           of ten (10)
years from the date it was granted.  

        (b)    Price. Subject
to the provisions of Section 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. The exercise price of           each
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be any price determined by the Board in its
          sole discretion.  

        (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 or
(ii) at the discretion of the Board (A) by delivery to the           Company of other
Common Stock of the Company, (B) according to a deferred           payment as permitted
by law (however, payment of the common stock’s           “par value,” as
defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall           not be made by deferred
payment), or other arrangement (which may include,           without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of other Common Stock           of the Company) with
the person to whom the Option is granted or to whom the           Option is transferred
pursuant to subsection 6(d), or (C) in any other form of           legal consideration
that may be acceptable to the Board.  

        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. Neither
an Incentive Stock Option nor a Nonstatutory           Stock Option shall be transferable
except by will or by the laws of descent and           distribution, and either shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the person           to whom the Option is granted
only by such person. Notwithstanding the           foregoing, the Optionee 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
Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.  

        (e)    Vesting. The
total number of shares of stock subject to an Option may,           but need not, be
allotted in periodic installments (which may, but need not, be           equal). The
Option Agreement may provide that from time to time during each of           such
installment periods, the Option may become exercisable (“vest”)           with
respect to some or all of the shares allotted to that period, and may be
          exercised with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to such period
          and/or any prior period as to which the Option became vested but was not fully
          exercised. 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(e) are subject
          to any Option provisions governing the minimum number of shares as to which an
          Option may be exercised.  

6. 

	

        (f)    Termination
of the Optionee’s Continuous Service. In the event an           Optionee’s
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the           Optionee’s death or
Disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her           Option (to the extent that
the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date           of termination) but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i)           the date three (3)
months after the termination of the Optionee’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 Optionee does not exercise his or           her Option within the
time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall           terminate, and the
shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again           become available for
issuance under the Plan.  

        An
Optionee’s Option Agreement may also provide that, if the exercise of the Option
following the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service (other than upon the
Optionee’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 as described in subsection 6(a) or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3)
months after the termination of the Optionee’s Continuous Service during which the
exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements (if
such provisions would result in an extension of the time during which the Option may be
exercised beyond the period described in the first paragraph of this
subsection 6(f)). 

        (g)    Disability
of Optionee. In the event an Optionee’s Continuous           Service terminates
as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee           may exercise his or
her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to           exercise it at 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, at the date of
termination, the Optionee is not entitled to           exercise his or her entire Option,
the shares covered by the unexercisable           portion of the Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance           under the Plan. If, after termination,
the Optionee does not exercise his or her           Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the           shares covered by such Option shall
revert to and again become available for           issuance under the Plan.  

        (h)    Death
of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or           within a
period specified in the Option after the termination of, the           Optionee’s
Continuous Service, the Option may be exercised (to the extent           the Optionee was
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death) by the           Optionee’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 Optionee’s
death pursuant to subsection 6(d), but only           within the period ending on the
earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18) months           following the date of death (or
such longer or shorter period specified in the           Option Agreement), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of such Option as set           forth in the Option Agreement. If,
at the time of death, the Optionee was not           entitled to exercise his or her
entire Option, the shares covered by the           unexercisable portion of the Option
shall revert to and again become available           for issuance under the Plan. If,
after death, the Option is not exercised within           the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by           such Option shall revert to
and again become available for issuance under the           Plan.  

7. 

	

        (i)    Early
Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby           the
Optionee may elect at any time before the Optionee’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 a repurchase right in favor of the Company or to
any           other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.  

     7.    
          PROVISIONS OF STOCK BONUS AND RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. 

        (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. 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.  

                        (iii)    Termination
of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event that a           Participant’s
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any           or all of the
shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not           vested as of the
date of termination under the terms of the stock bonus           agreement. The Company
will not exercise its repurchase option until at least           six (6) months (or such
longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a           change to earnings for
financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following           receipt of the stock
bonus unless otherwise specifically provided in the stock           bonus agreement.  

                        (iv)    Transferability. 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. The purchase price of restricted stock awards 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.  

8. 

	

                        (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. 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.  

                        (iv)    Termination
of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event that 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 that
have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms           of the restricted
stock purchase agreement. The Company will not exercise its           repurchase option
until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter           period of time
required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting           purposes) have
elapsed following the purchase of the restricted stock unless           otherwise
provided in the restricted stock purchase agreement.  

                        (v)    Transferability. 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)              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. Except as provided in
          subsection 5(c), 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 Right.  

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

                        (1)    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 Optionee is vested over (B) the
          aggregate exercise price payable for such vested shares.  

9. 

	

                        (2)    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.  

                        (3)    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 under Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking
          shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act 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. 

	

     10.    
          USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK. 

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

     11.    
          MISCELLANEOUS. 

        (a)              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, 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.  

        (b)              Neither
the recipient of a Stock Award nor any person to whom a Stock Award is
          transferred in accordance with the Plan 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.  

        (c)              Nothing
in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant           thereto
shall confer upon any recipient or other holder of Stock Awards any           right to
continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate or to continue           serving
as a Consultant or a Director, or shall affect the right of the Company           or any
Affiliate to terminate the employment of any Employee with or without           notice
and with or without cause, or the right to terminate the relationship of           any
Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with           the
Company or Affiliate or service as a Director pursuant to the Company’s
          Bylaws and the provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the
Company           is incorporated.  

        (d)              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 Optionee 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)              The
Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is granted, or any           person
to whom a Stock Award is transferred in accordance with the Plan, 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 (i) 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           (ii) 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.  

11. 

	

        (f)              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 relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock under a
          Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s
          right to withhold from any compensation paid to such person by the Company) 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; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are
          withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be
          withheld by law (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid variable
          award accounting); or (3) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered
          shares of the Common Stock of the Company.  

        (g)    Repurchase
Limitation. The terms of any repurchase option shall be           specified in the
Stock Award Agreement, and the repurchase price may be either           the Fair Market
Value of the shares of Common Stock or the lower of (i) the Fair           Market Value
of the shares of Common Stock on the date of repurchase or (ii)           their original
purchase price.  

     12.    
          ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. 

        (a)              If
any change is made in the 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 shares subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a) and
the maximum           number of shares subject to award to any person during any calendar
year           pursuant to subsection 5(c), and the outstanding Stock Awards will be
          appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of shares and price per
share           of stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. Such adjustments shall
be           made by the Board, the determination of which shall be final, binding and
          conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
          not be treated as a “transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration           by the Company”.)  

        (b)              In
the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board
          shall notify the Stock Award holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to such
          proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, the Stock
          Award shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
          action.  

        (c)              In
the event of: (1) a dissolution, liquidation or sale of all or substantially
          all of the assets of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in which the
          Company is not the surviving corporation; or (3) 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 (i)
          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(b)) for those outstanding
under the           Plan, or (ii) 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, (A) with respect to Stock Awards
held by           persons whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of
such Stock           Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards
may be           exercised) shall be accelerated prior to such event and the Stock Awards
          terminated if not exercised (if applicable) after such acceleration and at or
          prior to such event, and (B) with respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding
          under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall be terminated if not exercised (if
          applicable) prior to such event.  

12. 

	

        (d)              In
the event of the 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 any Affiliate of the Company) 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 Stock Awards held by           persons whose
Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock           Awards (and,
if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be           exercised) shall
be accelerated immediately upon the happening of such event.  

     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
to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for the Plan to satisfy           the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any Nasdaq or           securities
exchange listing requirements.  

        (b)              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)              It
is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect           the
Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Optionees 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)              Rights
under any Stock Award 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 person to whom the Stock Award was granted and (ii) such person
          consents in writing.  

13. 

	

        (e)              The
Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or
          more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Stock
          Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company
          requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted and (ii)
          such person consents in writing.  

     14.    
          TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN. 

        (a)              The
Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner           terminated,
the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date the Plan is           adopted by
the Board or approved by the stockholders of the Company, whichever           is earlier.
No Stock Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is           suspended or
after it is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all           Incentive Stock
Options shall be granted, if at all, no later than the last day           preceding the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date on which           the latest
increase in the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan was           approved
by the stockholders of the Company or (ii) the date such amendment was           adopted
by the Board.  

        (b)              Rights
and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is in effect           shall
not be impaired by suspension or termination of the Plan, except with the
          consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted.  

     15.    
          EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. 

        The
Plan shall become effective as of the date the Board adopts the Plan, but no Options or
rights to purchase restricted stock granted under the Plan 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 was adopted by the Board.
