<PAGE>

2. Exercise of Option. This Option is exercisable as follows:

         (a)      Right to exercise.

                  (i) This option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to
         the Exercise and Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant.

                  (ii) There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the
         periods  prior to each Vesting Date and vesting shall occur only on the
         appropriate Vesting Date.

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

                  (iv) In the  event of  Optionee's  termination  of  Continuous
         Status as an employee or Consultant,  the  exercisability of the Option
         is governed by Section 6 below.

                  (v) In no event may this Option be exercised after the date of
         expiration  of the term of this  Option as set  forth in the  Notice of
         Grant.

         (b)      Method  of  Exercise.  This  Option  shall be  exercisable  by
                  written 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 necessary in
                  order for the  Company  to  comply  with  applicable  laws and
                  regulations.  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  regulations  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 any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

         (a)      cash;

         (b)      check;

         (c)      with the consent of the Company,  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 (ii)  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  Company  in its  sole and  absolute
                  discretion, authorization from the company to retain 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  Company,  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 Company a  combination  of any of the
                  foregoing methods of payment;

         (g)      with the consent of the Company,  a combination  of any of the
                  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 Company,  such other consideration and
                  method of  payment  for the  issuance  of shares to the extent
                  permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

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. Effect of Certain Transactions.  In the event of a merger or consolidation of
the  Company  with  or  into  another  corporation,   or  the  sale  of  all  or
substantially  all of the assets of the  Company (a  "Transaction"),  the Option
shall be assumed, or an equivalent option shall be substituted, by the Successor
Corporation;  provided,  however,  that,  unless  otherwise  determined  by  the
Company,  the  Option  shall  remain  subject  to  all  of  the  conditions  and
restrictions  which were  applicable  to the Option prior to such  assumption or
substitution;  and further  provided that in connection  with any sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company may determine not to
require  the  assumption  of this  Option in which  event this  Option  shall be
exercisable only until the earlier of (i) the original  Term/Expiration  Date as
set forth in the Notice of Grant and (ii)  ninety  days from the date of closing
of any such sale.  For the  purposes  of this  paragraph,  the  Option  shall be
considered  assumed  if,  following  the  merger or sale of  assets,  the option
confers the right to purchase or receive upon  exercise,  for each Share subject
to the Option immediately prior to the Transaction,  the consideration  (whether
stock,  cash, or other  securities or property)  received in the Transaction for
each Share held on the effective  date of the  Transaction  (and if holders were
offered a choice of consideration,  the type of such consideration as determined
by the Board of Directors).

                                       3

6. Termination of Relationship.  If Optionee terminates  Continuous Status as an
Employee or Consultant for any reason,  Optionee may exercise this option during
the balance of the Term 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 (or unvested portion thereof) shall
terminate.

7.  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.

8. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the terms set out in
the Notice of Grant.

9.  Registration.  The Company will use its commercially  reasonable  efforts to
take all steps necessary to register the Shares underlying this Option under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  on form S-8 or any other form necessary as
soon as  practical  (which  shall in all events be deemed  timely if  registered
within 180 days from the Date of Grant),  following execution of this Agreement.
In the event that the Shares are not so  registered at the time of exercise then
the certificates  representing the Shares issued or to be issued hereunder shall
be stamped or otherwise  imprinted with legends  substantially  in the following
form:

         THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS  CERTIFICATE  HAVE NOT BEEN  REGISTERED

         IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES
         UNDER THE  SECURITIES  ACT,  OR AN  OPINION OF  COUNSEL  ACCEPTABLE  TO
         COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT  REGISTRATION  IS NOT REQUIRED  UNDER SUCH
         LAWS.

taxes required to be withheld.

II.   AGREEMENT:

1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants the Optionee an option 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").  This Option is not intended to, and does not qualify as
an  Incentive  stock  Option as  defined  in  Section  422 of the  Code.  Unless
otherwise specified, defined terms used below have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in Section 10 below.

2.  Exercise of Option. This Option is exercisable as follows:

    (a) Right to exercise.

         (i) This option  shall be  exercisable  cumulatively  according  to the
    Exercise and Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant.

         (ii)There shall be no  proportionate  or partial vesting in the periods
    prior to each Vesting Date and vesting  shall occur only on the  appropriate
    Vesting Date.

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

         (iv) In the event of Optionee's  termination of Continuous Status as an
    employee  or  Consultant,  the  exercisability  of the Option is governed by
    Section 6 below.

         (v) In no  event  may  this  Option  be  exercised  after  the  date of
    expiration of the term of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant.

    (b)  Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by written 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  necessary  in order for the  Company  to  comply  with
         applicable  laws and  regulations.  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
         regulations  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 any of the
following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (a)  cash;

     (b)  check;

     (c)  with the consent of the  Company,  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 (ii) 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 Company in its sole and  absolute  discretion,
          authorization from the company to retain 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  Company,  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 Company a combination  of any of the foregoing
          methods of payment;

     (g)  with the consent of the Company, a combination of any of the 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 Company,  such other  consideration and method
          of payment for the  issuance of shares to the extent  permitted  under
          applicable laws and regulations.

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.  Effect of Certain Transactions.
    -------------------------------

     (a)  In the event of a merger or  consolidation of the Company with or into
          another  corporation,  or the sale of all or substantially  all of the
          assets of the Company (a "Transaction"),  the Option shall be assumed,
          or an  equivalent  option  shall  be  substituted,  by  the  Successor
          Corporation;  provided,  however, that, unless otherwise determined by
          the Company,  the Option shall remain subject to all of the conditions
          and  restrictions  which were  applicable  to the Option prior to such
          assumption or  substitution;  and further  provided that in connection
          with  any  sale  of all or  substantially  all  of the  assets  of the
          Company,  the Company may determine  not to require the  assumption of

                                       3
<PAGE>

          this Option in which event this Option shall be exercisable only until
          the earlier of (i) the original  Term/Expiration  Date as set forth in
          the Notice of Grant and (ii)  ninety  days from the date of closing of
          any such sale. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be
          considered  assumed if,  following  the merger or sale of assets,  the
          option  confers the right to purchase or receive  upon  exercise,  for
          each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the Transaction,
          the  consideration  (whether  stock,  cash,  or  other  securities  or
          property)  received  in the  Transaction  for each  Share  held on the
          effective  date of the  Transaction  (and if  holders  were  offered a
          choice of consideration,  the type of such consideration as determined
          by the Board of Directors).

     (b)  In the event of a Change in  Control,  whether  or not in  conjunction
          with a transaction  which would  constitute a  Transaction  within the
          meaning of Section 5(a) above,  then  concurrently  with the effective
          date of such  change  in  control,  fifty  percent  (50%)  of all then
          unvested  Shares  covered by the Option shall vest.  Such  immediately
          vesting  Shares  shall be  deemed  to have  vested  pro rata  from the
          remaining  unvested Shares pursuant to the Vesting  Schedule set forth
          in the Notice of Grant.

6.   Termination of Relationship.
     ----------------------------

     (a) If  Optionee's  Continuous  Status  as an  employee  or  Consultant  is
terminated for any reason (other than by reason of death), Optionee may exercise
this option for a period of three (3) months after such  termination  (but in no
event beyond the  expiration of the stated term) to the extent,  and only to the
extent, that such Option or portion thereof was vested and exercisable as of the
date of such  termination.  To the extent that  Optionee  was not vested in this
option  at the date on which  Optionee's  Continuous  Status as an  employee  or
Consultant  is  terminated,  or if Optionee does not exercise this option within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

     (b) If  Optionee's  Continuous  Status  as an  employee  or  Consultant  is
terminated  as a result  of  Optionee's  death,  Optionee's  heirs  or  personal
representative  (or other  administrator of Optionee's estate) may exercise this
option for a period of one (1) year after such death (but in no event beyond the
expiration of the stated term) to the extent, and only to the extent,  that such
Option or portion  thereof  was vested  and  exercisable  as of the date of such
death.  To the extent that Optionee was not vested in this option at the date of
death,   or  if  Optionee's   heirs  or  personal   representatives   (or  other
administrator of Optionee's  estate) do not exercise this option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

7.  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.

8. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the terms set out in
the Notice of Grant.

9.  Registration.  The Company will use its commercially  reasonable  efforts to
take all steps necessary to register the Shares underlying this Option under the
Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  on form S-8 or any other form necessary as
soon as  practical  (which  shall in all events be deemed  timely if  registered
within 180 days from the Date of Grant),  following execution of this Agreement.
In the event that the Shares are not so  registered at the time of exercise then
the certificates  representing the Shares issued or to be issued hereunder shall
be stamped or otherwise  imprinted with legends  substantially  in the following
form:

     THE SHARES  REPRESENTED BY THIS  CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
     THE  SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933,  AS AMENDED (THE  "SECURITIES  ACT"),  OR THE
     SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE,  AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR AN INVESTMENT AND
     MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN
     EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
     OR AN  OPINION OF  COUNSEL  ACCEPTABLE  TO  COUNSEL  FOR THE  COMPANY  THAT
     REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SUCH LAWS.

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

     The  following  defined  terms  when used in this  Agreement  will have the
     following meanings:

          control with, another Person.

     (b)  "Change in  Capitalization"  means any  increase or  reduction  in the
          number of shares, or any change (including, but not limited to, in the

          Shares,  a change in value) in the Shares or  exchange of Shares for a
          different  number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company
          or   another   corporation,   by   reason   of   a   reclassification,
          recapitalization,  merger,  consolidation,  reorganization,  spin-off,

          dividend,  combination  or exchange of shares,  repurchase  of shares,
          change in corporate structure or otherwise.

     (c)  "Change in Control" means the occurrence of either of the following:

          (i) An  acquisition  (other  than  directly  from the  Company) of any
     voting securities of the Company (the "Voting  Securities") by any "Person"
     (as the term person is used for  purposes of Section  13(d) or 14(d) of the
     Exchange  Act),   immediately  after  which  such  Person  has  "Beneficial
     Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange
     Act) or forty percent (40%) or more of the then  outstanding  Shares or the
     combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding  Voting Securities;
     provided,  however, in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred
     pursuant to this Section  10(c)(i),  Shares or Voting  Securities which are
     acquired in a "Non-Control  Acquisition" (as hereinafter defined) shall not
     constitute  an  acquisition  which  would  cause a  Change  in  Control.  A

                                       5
<PAGE>

     "Non-Control  Acquisition"  shall mean an  acquisition  by (i) an  employee
     benefit  plan (or a trust  forming a part  thereof)  maintained  by (A) the
     Company or (B) any  corporation  or other Person of which a majority of its
     voting power or its voting equity  securities or equity  interest is owned,

     "Majority-Owned  Subsidiary"),  (ii)  the  Company  or  its  Majority-Owned
     Subsidiaries,  (iii) Edward  Cespedes or Michael  Egan or any  Affiliate of

               a) a merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization  with or into the
          Company or in which securities of the Company are issued,  unless such
          merger,    consolidation   or   reorganization   is   a   "Non-Control
          Transaction".   A  "Non-Control  Transaction"  shall  mean  a  merger,
          consolidation or  reorganization  with or into the Company or in which
          securities of the Company are issued where:

                    i) the stockholders of the Company,  immediately before such
          merger,  consolidation or  reorganization,  own directly or indirectly
          immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization, at
          least  sixty  percent  (60%)  of  the  combined  voting  power  of the
          outstanding  voting securities of the corporation  resulting from such
          merger   or   consolidation   or   reorganization    (the   "Surviving
          Corporation") in substantially  the same proportion as their ownership
          of the Voting Securities immediately before such merger, consolidation
          or reorganization; and

                    ii)  no  Person  other  than  (1)  the   Company,   (2)  any
          Majority-Owned Subsidiary, (3) any employee benefit plan (or any trust
          forming  a part  thereof)  that,  immediately  prior  to such  merger,
          consolidation or reorganization,  was maintained by the Company or any
          majority-owned subsidiary, or (4) any Person who, immediately prior to
          such merger,  consolidation or reorganization had Beneficial Ownership
          of  thirty  percent  (30%)  or more  of the  then  outstanding  Voting
          Securities or Shares, has Beneficial Ownership of thirty percent (30%)
          or more of the combined  voting power of the  Surviving  Corporation's
          then outstanding voting securities of its common stock.

          stockholders of the stock of a Majority-Owned  Subsidiary or any other
          assets).

               Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  a Change in Control shall not be
          deemed to occur  solely  because  any Person  (the  "Subject  Person")
          acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the
          then  outstanding  Shares  or  Voting  Securities  as a result  of the
          acquisition of Shares or Voting  Securities by the Company  which,  by
          reducing the number of Shares or Voting  Securities then  outstanding,
          increases the proportional  number of shares Beneficially Owned by the

                                       6
<PAGE>

          Subject Persons, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but
          for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the  acquisition of
          Shares or Voting  Securities  by the  Company,  and after  such  share
          acquisition by the Company,  the Subject Person becomes the Beneficial
          Owner of any additional  Shares or Voting  Securities  which increases
          the  percentage of the then  outstanding  Shares or Voting  Securities
          Beneficially  Owned by the  Subject  Person,  then a Change in Control
          shall occur.

     (d)  "Consultant"  means any  consultant  or advisor  that  qualifies as an
          "employee"  within the meaning of the rules applicable to Form S-8, as
          in  effect  from  time to time,  of the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as
          amended.

     (e)  "Continuous   Status"  means  the  employment  or  relationship  as  a
          Consultant is not  interrupted or terminated.  The Board of Directors,
          in its sole discretion,  may determine whether Continuous Status as an
          Employee or Consultant shall be considered interrupted in the case of:
          (i) any leave of absence approved by the Board of Directors, including
          sick leave,  military  leave,  or any other  personal  leave;  or (ii)
          transfers  between  locations  of the Company or between the  Company,
          Affiliates or their successors.

     (f)  "Fair Market Value" means as of any particular date, the closing sales
