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, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates
will be issued for shares of Stock 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 Shareholders, no Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date it was granted,
and no Incentive Stock Option granted on or after the Listing Date 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 Shareholders, 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) EXERCISE PRICE OF A NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION. Subject to the
provisions of subsection 5(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the exercise
price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option granted prior to the Listing Date shall
be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) 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 granted on or after the Listing Date shall be not

                                       7
<PAGE>
less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock
subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Nonstatutory 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.

      (D) 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 Stock, (2) according to a deferred payment or other similar
arrangement with the Optionholder or (3) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically
provided in the Option, the purchase price of Stock acquired pursuant to an
Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Stock acquired, directly
or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Stock of the
Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or
shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware,
payment of the 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 market rate of interest
necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes.

      (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 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.

                                       8
<PAGE>
      (G) VESTING GENERALLY. The total number of shares of 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 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 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 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 Stock 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) 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

                                       9
<PAGE>
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 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, 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 Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the
Option. Subject to the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), any unvested
shares of 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 10(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 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 Stock received upon the
exercise of the Option. Except as expressly provided in this subsection 6(o),
such right of first refusal shall otherwise comply with any applicable
provisions of the Bylaws of the Company.

7.    PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.

      (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

                                       10
<PAGE>
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
10(h), shares of 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. Subject to
the "Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may reacquire any or all of the
shares of 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 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 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 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 Shareholders, 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 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 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 Stock acquired pursuant to
the restricted stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the
time of purchase; (ii) at

                                       11
<PAGE>
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 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
10(h), shares of 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. Subject to the
"Repurchase Limitation" in subsection 10(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire
any or all of the shares of 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 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 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 Stock
awarded under the restricted stock purchase agreement remains subject to the
terms of the restricted stock purchase agreement.

8.    COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

      (A) AVAILABILITY OF SHARES. 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) 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 Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Stock
upon exercise of the 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.

                                       12
<PAGE>
9.    USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

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

10.   MISCELLANEOUS.

      (A) ACCELERATION OF EXERCISABILITY AND VESTING. 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.

      (B) STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder
of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of
Stock subject to such Stock Award unless and until such Participant has
satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its
terms.

      (C) NO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER SERVICE RIGHTS. Nothing in the Plan or any
instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon
any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in
the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award 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 a Participant, as a
condition of exercising or acquiring Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give
written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant'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 (ii) to give written assurances
satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Stock
subject to the Stock Award for the Participant'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 (1) the issuance of the shares of Stock upon the exercise or
acquisition of

                                       13
<PAGE>
Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) 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 a
Stock Award Agreement, the Participant 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 the Participant by the Company)
or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii)
authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Stock from the shares of 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 Stock are
withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be
withheld by law; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered
shares of Stock.

      (G) INFORMATION OBLIGATION. 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 10(g) shall not apply to key Employees whose
duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent
information.

      (H) REPURCHASE LIMITATION. 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.

11.   ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

      (A) CAPITALIZATION ADJUSTMENTS. 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 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 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.)

                                       14
<PAGE>
      (B) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate
immediately prior to such event.

      (C) ASSET SALE, MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR REVERSE MERGER. 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 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 (individually, a "Corporate
Transaction"), 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 Corporate Transaction) 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 with respect to Stock Awards held by
Participants 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 in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if
not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the Corporate Transaction. With
respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards
shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the Corporate
Transaction.

12.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

      (A) AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may
amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11 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.

      (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 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 Participant and (ii) the Participant
consents in writing.

                                       15
<PAGE>
      (E) AMENDMENT OF STOCK AWARDS. 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 Participant and
(ii) the Participant consents in writing.

13.   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 Stock Awards 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 Stock Award granted while the Plan
is in effect except with the written consent of the Participant.

14.   EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

      The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Stock
Award shall be exercised (or, in the case of a stock bonus, shall be granted)
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.

15.   CHOICE OF LAW.

      The law of the State of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the
construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such
state's conflict of laws rules.

                               CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

         THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of October 17th , 2002, by and
among 300 CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATES, LLC, a California limited liability company
("Landlord"), THE GAP, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Sublessor"), and PLANETOUT
PARTNERS USA, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant").

                                    Recitals

         A.       Landlord is the landlord and Sublessor is the tenant under a
lease dated September 21, 1999, as amended by that certain First Amendment to
Lease, dated as of November 30, 1999 (the "Prime Lease"), for approximately
45,883 rentable square feet of space (the "Premises"), located on the second,
third and fourth floors of the office building located at 300 California Street,
San Francisco, California (the "Building"). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Prime Lease.

         B.       Sublessor has requested that Landlord consent to the
subletting by Sublessor to Subtenant of a portion of the Premises ("Sublet
Premises"), pursuant to the Sublease dated as of even date herewith (the
"Sublease"), to which this Agreement is attached.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the
covenants contained herein, Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease subject to
and upon the following terms and conditions, as to each of which Sublessor and
Subtenant expressly agree:

         1.       Nothing contained in this Agreement shall:

                  (a)      operate as a consent to or approval or ratification
by Landlord of any specific provisions of the Sublease or as a representation or
warranty by Landlord, or cause Landlord to be estopped or bound in any way by
any of the provisions of the Sublease, or

                  (b)      be construed to modify, waive or affect (i) any of
the provisions, covenants or conditions in the Prime Lease, or (ii) any of
Sublessor's obligations under the Prime Lease, or (iii) any rights or remedies
of Landlord under the Prime Lease or otherwise; or to enlarge or increase
Landlord's obligations or Sublessor's rights under the Prime Lease or otherwise,
or

                  (c)      be deemed to make Subtenant a third party beneficiary
of the provisions of the Prime Lease, or create or permit any direct right of
action by Subtenant against Landlord for breach of the covenant of quiet
enjoyment or any other covenant of Landlord under the Prime Lease, or

                  (d)      be construed to waive any past, present or future
breach or default on the part of Sublessor under the Prime Lease.

         2.       The Sublease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to
the Prime Lease and to all of its provisions, covenants and conditions. Except
for rent payable under the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall perform faithfully and
be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions,

<PAGE>

provisions and agreements of the Prime Lease (including, without limitation,
insurance requirements, as though Subtenant were the "Tenant" under the Prime
Lease), for the period covered by the Sublease, but only to the extent
applicable to the Sublet Premises. In case of any conflict between the
provisions of the Prime Lease and the provisions of the Sublease, the provisions
of the Prime Lease shall prevail unaffected by the Sublease.

         3.       Neither the Sublease nor this consent thereto shall release or
discharge Sublessor from any liability under the Prime Lease. Sublessor shall
remain liable and responsible for the full performance and observance of all the
provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in the Prime Lease on the part of
Sublessor to be performed and observed. Any breach or violation of any provision
of the Prime Lease by Subtenant shall be deemed to be, and shall constitute, a
default by Sublessor in fulfilling such provision.

         4.       This consent by Landlord shall not be assignable or
transferable and shall not be construed as a consent by Landlord to any further
subletting by Sublessor or Subtenant or to any assignment by Sublessor of the
Prime Lease or assignment by Subtenant of the Sublease, whether or not the
Sublease purports to permit the same, and, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, both Sublessor and Subtenant agree that Subtenant has no right
whatsoever to assign, mortgage or encumber the Sublease nor to sublet any
portion of the Sublet Premises or permit any portion of the Sublet Premises to
be used or occupied by any other party or in any other manner to transfer all or
any part of Subtenant's rights with respect to the Sublease or the Sublet
Premises. All provisions in the Prime Lease restricting or prohibiting transfer
of Tenant's interests shall also apply to restrict or prohibit transfer by
Subtenant (but, except only as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in
this Agreement, no provisions in the Prime Lease permitting any transfer by
Sublessor shall apply to permit any transfer by Subtenant). This consent may not
be construed as a consent by Landlord to any modification, amendment, extension
or renewal of the Sublease, without Landlord's prior written consent.

         5.       Sublessor hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns to
Landlord any and all rights to receive rent and other consideration from any
sublease, including the Sublease, and agrees that Landlord, as assignee or as
attorney-in-fact for Sublessor for purposes hereof, or a receiver for Sublessor
appointed on Landlord's application may (but shall not be obligated to) collect
such rents and other consideration and apply the same toward Sublessor's
obligations to Landlord under the Prime Lease; provided, however, that Landlord
grants to Sublessor at all times prior to occurrence of any breach or default by
Sublessor under the Prime Lease a revocable license to collect such rents (which
license shall automatically and without notice be and be deemed to have been
revoked and terminated immediately upon any "Event of Default" under the Prime
Lease). Sublessor and Subtenant agree that upon receipt of notice from Landlord
directing Subtenant to pay the sublease rent directly to Landlord, Subtenant
shall pay rent due under the Sublease to Landlord. Landlord shall credit
Sublessor with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment, but the
acceptance of any payment on account of rent from Subtenant as the result of any
such default shall in no manner whatsoever serve to release Sublessor from any
liability under the Prime Lease, except to the extent of the rent so credited.

         6.       Upon the expiration or any earlier termination of the term of
the Prime Lease, the voluntary or involuntary surrender of the Prime Lease by
Sublessor to Landlord, or a mutual cancellation of the Prime Lease by Landlord
and Sublessor, the Sublease and its term shall

                                        2

<PAGE>

terminate and Subtenant shall vacate the Premises on or before the effective
date of such, termination. In the event of the failure of Subtenant to so vacate
the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce against Subtenant all of the
rights and remedies available to a landlord against a tenant holding over after
the expiration of a term.

         7.       Both Sublessor and Subtenant shall be and continue to be
liable for the payment of (a) all bills rendered by Landlord for charges
incurred by Subtenant for services and materials supplied to the Sublet Premises
beyond that which is required by the terms of the Prime Lease, and (b) any
additional costs incurred by Landlord for maintenance and repair of the Sublet
Premises as the result of Subtenant occupying the Sublet Premises (including,
but not limited to, any excess cost to Landlord of services furnished to or for
the Sublet Premises).

         8.       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Sublease, Landlord may require that requests for any service to be supplied by
Landlord to the Sublet Premises, requests to alter the Sublet Premises, requests
to further sublet the Sublet Premises or assign the Sublease, and other requests
for Landlord's consent or approval be made by Sublessor on behalf of Subtenant.

         9.       Sublessor and Subtenant each covenants and agrees that under
no circumstances shall Landlord be liable for any brokerage commission or other
charge or expense in connection with the Sublease.

         10.      Sublessor and Subtenant understand and acknowledge that
Landlord's consent to the Sublease expressed herein is not a consent to any
improvement or alteration work to be performed in the Sublet Premises (including
without limitation any improvement work contemplated in the Sublease), that
Landlord's consent for such work must be separately sought and that any such
work shall be subject to all the provisions of the Prime Lease with respect
thereto.

         11.      In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and the provisions of the Sublease, the provisions of this Agreement
shall prevail.

         12.      In addition to complying with all provisions of the Prime
Lease concerning estoppel certificates, Sublessor and Subtenant each also agree
to execute and deliver from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior
written request such other estoppel certificates as Landlord may require with
respect to the Sublease; provided, however, that such certificates shall not
require certifications regarding the Sublease other than those certifications
which would be required under Paragraph 33 of the Prime Lease with respect to
the Prime Lease.

         13.      In the event of any arbitration or action or proceeding at law
or in equity between or among the parties to this Agreement as a consequence of
any controversy, claim or dispute relating to this agreement or the breach
thereof or to enforce any of the provisions and/or rights hereunder, the
unsuccessful party or parties to such arbitration, action or proceeding shall
pay to the successful party or parties all costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees incurred therein by such successful party or parties.

         14.      Each of Subtenant and Sublessor, jointly and severally, shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims
arising out of (i) Subtenant's use

                                        3

<PAGE>

of the Premises or any part thereof, or (ii) any activity, work or other thing
done, permitted or suffered by Subtenant in or about the Building or the
Premises or any part thereof (except to the extent caused by the willful
misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its authorized
representatives), or (iii) any breach or default in the performance of any
obligation on Subtenant's part to be performed under the terms of the Sublease
or this Agreement, (iv) any act or negligence of Subtenant or any officer,
agent, employee, contractor, servant, invitee or guest of Subtenant, or (v) any
claim for brokerage commissions or other charges or expenses in connection with
the Sublease; and in each case from and against any and all damages, losses,
liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, and costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising in connection with any such claim
or claims as described in clauses (i) through (v) above, or any action or
proceeding brought thereon. If any such action or proceeding be brought against
Landlord, the indemnifying party, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the
same at the indemnifying party's sole expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord. Subtenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord,
hereby assumes all risk of damage or loss to property or injury or death to
