lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a
corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned
proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries.

     (f)  Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, "outstanding
          -----------------

SECTION 5.  STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
---------------------------------

     (a)  Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized
          ----------------
but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Options,
SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed
(a) ______________________ (________) Shares, plus the additional Common Shares
described in Sections (b) and (c). The limitation of this Section 5(a) shall be
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.

     (b)  Annual Increase in Shares. As of January 1 of each year, commencing
          -------------------------
with the year 2001, the aggregate number of Options, SARs, Stock Units and
Restricted Shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall automatically
increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) ___________ (__________) shares,
(ii) 5% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a lesser amount
determined by the Board. The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued
under the Plan shall at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section

which then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the
term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient
Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     (c)  Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon
          -----------------

become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are
forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the
corresponding Common Shares shall again become available for Awards under the
Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Common Shares (if any)
actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number
available under Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for
Awards under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Common
Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the

equivalents are converted into Stock Units.

SECTION 6.  RESTRICTED SHARES
-----------------------------

     (a)  Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the
          --------------------------
Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient
and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms
of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with
the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.

     (b)  Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted
          ------------------
Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents,
full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent
that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient
shall furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such
Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services
rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may
determine.

     (c)  Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to
          -------
vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of
the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Committee may
include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the
Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified period of one or more
years equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Committee. Such
performance shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors. Such
target shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A.
The Committee shall determine such target not later than the 90th day of such
period. In no event shall the number of Restricted Shares which are subject to
performance based vesting conditions exceed ____________, subject to adjustment
in accordance with Section 16. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for
accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's death, disability or
retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting
Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares
shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to
the Company.

     (d)  Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded
          --------------------------
under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the
Company's other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require
that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in
additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject
to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the
dividends were paid.

SECTION 7.  OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.
---------------------------------------------------------

     (a)  Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to
          ---------------------------------------------------
acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Offeree within thirty (30) days after the grant of such
right was communicated to him by the Committee. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was
granted.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     (b)  Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be determined by the

satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such purchase.

     (d)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold under
          ----------------------------------
the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

SECTION 8.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
-------------------------------------------

     (a)  Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall
          ----------------------
be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent
with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock
Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is
an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in
consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation. A Stock
Option Agreement may provide that a new Option will be granted automatically to
the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays the Exercise Price
in a form described in Section 9.

     (b)  Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number
          ----------------
of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of
such number in accordance with Section 16. Options granted to an Optionee in a
single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than _________ Shares.

     (c)  Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise
          --------------
Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100 percent (100%) of
the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise
provided in Section 4(d). Subject to the foregoing in this Section 8(c), the
Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole
discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in
Sections 9.

     (d)  Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
          -----------------
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal,
state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

     (e)  Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
          -----------------------
date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The
Stock Option

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of
an ISO shall in no event exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant (five (5)
years for Employees described in Section 4(d)). A Stock Option Agreement may
provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death,
disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior
to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's
service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may
provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are
forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 8(e), the Committee at its
sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to
become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

     (f)  Nontransferability. During an Optionee's lifetime, his Option(s) shall
          ------------------
be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable. In the event of an
Optionee's death, his Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.

     (g)  Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option
          -----------------------------------------------
Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee's Service with the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any
executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or any person who has
acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.
Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may
reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.

     (h)  Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time
          ---------------------------
of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable
as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the following
limitations:

          (i)  In the case of an ISO, the acceleration of exercisability shall
     not occur without the Optionee's written consent.

          (ii) If the Company and the other party to the transaction
     constituting a Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be
     treated as a :pooling of interests" for financial reporting purposes, and
     if such transaction in fact is so treated, then the acceleration of
     exercisability shall not occur to the extent that the Company's independent
     accountants and such other party's independent accountants separately
     determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude the use of
     "pooling of interests" accounting.

     (i)  Leaves of Absence. An Employee's Service shall cease when such
          -----------------
Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a consultant or adviser to, the
Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of
Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee
goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in
writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or
when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for
purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an
Employee's Service will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after such
Employee went on leave, unless such Employee's right to

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates
in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately
returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward
Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

     (j)  No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
          --------------------------
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for
such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 9.

     (k)  Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations
          ----------------------------------------------
of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding options or
may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously
exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new
Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase
his obligations under such Option.

     (l)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of
          ----------------------------------
an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.

     (m)  Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out
          -----------------
for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b)
authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in
either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall establish.

SECTION 9.  PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
------------------------------

     (a)  General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the
          ------------
Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the
time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Subsections (b)
through (g) below.

     (b)  Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
          ------------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to
the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his
representative for more than twelve (12) months. Such Shares shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the
Plan. . The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares
in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to
recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect
to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

     (c)  Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be
          -----------------
awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a
Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a
Purchase Price in cash, the Committee

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

shall make a determination (at the time of the award) of the value of the
services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to
meet the requirements of Section 6(c).

     (d)  Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
          -----------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell
Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price.

     (e)  Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
          ---------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender
to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan
proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

     (f)  Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
          ---------------
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed
by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the
Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in
cash or cash equivalents.

     (g)  Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
          ----------------------
provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.

SECTION 10.  STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
--------------------------------------

     (a)  SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced
           -------------
by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be
subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other
terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be
granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation.

     (b)  Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of
          ----------------
Common Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of
such number in accordance with Section 12. SARs granted to any Optionee in a
single calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than _______ Common
Shares, except that SARs granted to a new Employee in the fiscal year of the
Company in which his or her service as an Employee first commences shall not
pertain to more than _________ Common Shares. The limitations set forth in the
preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12.

     (c)  Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. A
          --------------
SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a
predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.

     (d)  Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date
          -----------------------
when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR
Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide
for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability
or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's
service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may
provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are
forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be
included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the
Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in
Control.

     (e)  Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time
          ---------------------------
of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as
to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the following sentence. If the
Company and the other party to the transaction constituting a Change in Control
agree that such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of interests" for
financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is so treated,
then the acceleration of exercisability shall not occur to the extent that the
Company's independent accountants and such other party's independent accountants
separately determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude the use
of "pooling of interests" accounting.

     (f)  Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person
          ----------------
having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from
the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Common Shares
and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair
Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the
aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of
surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price.
If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price under such SAR is less
than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been
exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be
exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.

     (g)  Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the
          ----------------------------------
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept
the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different
number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

SECTION 11.  STOCK UNITS.
------------------------

     (a)  Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall
          --------------------
be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company.
Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be
subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The
provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need
not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in
the recipient's other compensation.

     (b)  Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form
          ------------------
of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

     (c)  Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be
          ------------------
subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock
Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part
of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company, except as provided in the next following
sentence. If the Company and the other party to the transaction constituting a
Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of
interests" for financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is
so treated, then the acceleration of vesting shall not occur to the extent that
the Company's independent accountants and such other party's independent
accountants separately determine in good faith that such acceleration would
preclude the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.

     (d)  Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no
          --------------------------
voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under
the Plan may, at the Committee's discretion, carry with it a right to dividend
equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal
to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is
outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units.
Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form
of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any
dividend equivalents which are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions
and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.

     (e)  Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock
           -----------------------------------------
Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or (c) any
combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock
Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included
in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of
converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based
on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days.
Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The
distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the
Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any
later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an
interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is
settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 12.

     (f)  Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after
          ------------------
the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's beneficiary or
beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall
designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed
form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient's death.
If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the
recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's estate.

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

     (g)  Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other
          -----------------
than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

SECTION 12.  PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.
----------------------------------------

     (a)  Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common
          -----------
Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares, a declaration of a
dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a
material effect on the price of Common Shares, a combination or consolidation of
the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser
number of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence,
the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate in one or more of:

          (i)    The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units
     available for future Awards under Section 5;

          (ii)   The limitations set forth in Sections 8(b) and 10(b);

          (iii)  The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside Directors under
     Section 4(b);

          (iv)   The number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding Option
     and SAR;

          (v)    The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or

          (vi)   The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award which has
     not yet been settled.

Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no rights by
reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities
convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase
or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

     (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or
          --------------------------
settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

     (c)  Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger
          ---------------
or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of
merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:

         (i)   The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the
     Company is a surviving corporation;

         (ii)  The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving
     corporation or its parent or subsidiary;

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

         (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or
     subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;

         (iv)  Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the
     outstanding Awards; or

         (v)  Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in cash or
     cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.

SECTION 13.  DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.
-------------------------------
     The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a Participant
to:

     a)  Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result
         of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units credited to a
         deferred compensation account established for such Participant by the
         Committee as an entry on the Company's books;

     b)  Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
         Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR converted
         into an equal number of Stock Units; or

     c)  Have Common Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
         Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or the
         settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to a deferred
         compensation account established for such Participant by the Committee
         as an entry on the Company's books. Such amounts shall be determined by
         reference to the Fair Market Value of such Common Shares as of the date
         when they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant.

A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13 may be
credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the
Committee.  A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no
rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company.  Such an account
shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such
Participant and the Company.  If the deferral or conversion of Awards is
permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish
rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without
limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under
this Section 13.

SECTION 14.  AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
-------------------------------------

     The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs.  Such awards
may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan.  Such Common
Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares
issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of
Common Shares available under Section 5.

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

SECTION 15.  PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR'S FEES IN SECURITIES.
------------------------------------------------------

     (a)  Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective
          --------------
unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.

     (b)  Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units.
          -----------------------------------------------------------
An Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments
and/or meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted
Shares or Stock Units, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board.
Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued under the Plan.  An
election under this Section 15 shall be filed with the Company on the prescribed
form.

     (c)  Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units.
          ----------------------------------------------------------
The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside
Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be
paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board.  The terms
of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the
Board.

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

     (a)  General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a
          -------
declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable
in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the value
of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make appropriate
adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future
grants under Section 5, (ii) the number of Shares available for grants under
Section 4(c), (iii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option,
(iv) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option, (v) the number of shares
covered by each outstanding award or (vi) the Purchase Price of each outstanding
award.

     (b)  Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger
          ---------------
or other reorganization, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement
of merger or reorganization. Such agreement may provide for the assumption of
outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent or for their
continuation by the Company (if the Company is a surviving corporation);
provided, however, that if assumption or continuation of the outstanding Options
is not provided by such agreement then the Committee shall have the option of
offering the payment of a cash settlement equal to the difference between the
amount to be paid for one Share under such agreement and the Exercise Price, in
all cases without the Optionees' consent.

     (c)  Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 16, an
          ---------------------
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of

liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and
regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company's
securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or
favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is
necessary or advisable.

Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.

SECTION 19.  LIMITATION ON PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.
---------------------------------------------

     (a)  Scope of Limitation.  This Section 19 shall apply to an Award only if:

          (i)  The independent auditors most recently selected by the Board (the
     "Auditors") determine that the after-tax value of such Award to the
     Participant, taking into account the effect of all federal, state and local
     income taxes, employment taxes and excise taxes applicable to the
     Participant (including the excise tax under section 4999 of the Code), will
     be greater after the application of this Section 19 than it was before the
     application of this Section 19; or

          (ii) The Committee, at the time of making an Award under the Plan or
     at any time thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall be

     to the Participant).

it shall supersede any contrary provision of the Plan or of any Award granted
under the Plan.

                            STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                             FOR THE BEATNIK, INC.

                           2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

Tax Treatment        This option is intended to be an incentive stock option
                     under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or a

                     any reason excluding death or total and permanent
                     disability, then this option will expire on the date

Restrictions on      The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if
Exercise             the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law
                     or regulation.

Notice of Exercise   When you wish to exercise this option you must notify the
                     Company by completing the attached "Notice of Exercise of
                     Stock Option" form and filing it with the Human Resources
                     Department of the Company. The notice will be effective
                     when it is received by the Company. If someone else wants
                     to exercise this option after your death, that person must
                     prove to the Company's satisfaction that he or she is
                     entitled to do so.

Form of Payment      When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include
                     payment of the option exercise price for the shares you are
                     purchasing. Payment may be made in the form specified on
                     your Notice of Stock Option Grant.

Withholding Taxes    You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you
and Stock            make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any
Withholding          withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the option
                     exercise. These arrangements may include withholding shares
                     of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when
                     you exercise this option. The value of these shares,
                     determined as of the effective date of the option exercise,
                     will be applied to the withholding taxes.

Restrictions on      By signing this Agreement, you agree not to sell any option
Resale               shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or
                     an agreement between the Company and its underwriters
                     prohibit a sale (e.g., a lock-up period after the Company
                     goes public). This restriction will apply as long as you
                     are an employee, consultant or director of the Company or a
                     subsidiary of the Company.

Transfer of Option   Prior to your death, only you can exercise this option. You
                     cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you
                     may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan.
                     If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will
                     immediately become invalid. You may in any event dispose of
                     this option in your will.

                     Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement,
                     the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise
                     from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to
                     recognize your former spouse's interest in your option in
                     any other way.

Retention Rights     Neither your option nor this Agreement give you the right
                     to be retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the
                     Company in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries
                     reserve the right to terminate your service at any time,
                     with or without cause.

Stockholder Rights   You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a
                     stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this
                     option by giving the required notice to the Company and
                     paying the exercise price. No adjustments are made for
                     dividends or other rights if the applicable record date
                     occurs before you exercise this option, except as described
                     in the Plan.

Adjustments          In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a
                     similar change in Company stock, the number of shares
                     covered by this option and the exercise price per share may
                     be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

Applicable Law       This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the
                     laws of the State of California (without regard to their
                     choice-of-law provisions).

Re:  Exercise of Stock Option

Dear Sir or Madam:

hereby elect to purchase _____________ shares of the Common Stock of the Company
at aggregate exercise price of $__________.  I enclose payment and other

     [ ]    My check in the amount of $___________.

The Common Stock is to be issued and registered in the name(s) of:

                  __________________________
                  __________________________

I understand that there may be tax consequences as a result of the purchase or

represent that the Common Stock is being acquired solely for my own account and
not as a nominee for any other party, or for investment, and that I will not
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any such Common Stock except under
circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or any state securities laws.

            TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO YOUR INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION
            -------------------------------------------------------

     This memorandum is provided to you merely as a service and is not meant to
advise you as to your personal tax situation.  You should contact your personal
legal or tax advisers with respect to the state and federal income tax treatment
of purchasing and disposing of your stock.

Internal Revenue Code Sections

     Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") provides rules for
the tax treatment of "incentive stock options"("ISOs"), as that term is defined
by Section 422 of the Code.

ISO Tax Treatment - Usually No Tax Until You Sell Your Stock

     Your option is intended to be an ISO.  If you hold the stock you are
purchasing under your option for more than two (2) years from the date of grant
and more than one (1) year from the date of exercise, upon any subsequent sale
---
or other disposition of such shares you will have capital gains or loss. Capital
gains are taxed at reduced rates if you held the shares for more than 1 year
(20% federal rate).

     If you sell or dispose of the stock within two (2) years from the date of
grant or within 1 year from the date of exercise (a "disqualifying
      --
disposition"), the special capital gains tax treatment of Code Section 421 will
not apply.  Generally, in that event, you will recognize taxable ordinary income
in an amount equal to the lesser of:  (i) the excess of the fair market value of
the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price of the option, or
(ii) your actual gain on the purchase and sale.  The gain (if any) in excess of
the amount of ordinary income recognized, or the loss (if any) will be a capital
gain or loss.  An exception to this general rule applies if your stock is
subject to the company's repurchase right (see "Early Exercise" below).

Alternative Minimum Tax - Potential Tax at Exercise

     The alternative minimum tax is a separately computed tax that is imposed
only if and to the extent it exceeds your regular tax for the taxable year.
Basically, the alternative minimum tax is an amount equal to twenty-six percent
(26%) of your "alternative minimum taxable income" for the year of up to
$175,000 and twenty-eight percent (28%) of any excess ($87,500 in the case of a
married individual filing a separate return).  "Alternative minimum taxable
income" generally is determined by (i) reducing adjusted gross income by an
exemption amount ($45,000 for joint declarations and $33,750 for single
taxpayers, less $0.25 for each dollar of alternative minimum taxable income in
excess of $150,000 or $112,500, respectively) and certain specifically defined
deductions, and (ii) by adding to the amount so calculated certain tax
preference items and other adjustments.

     As a general rule, when you exercise an ISO, the excess of the (1) fair
market value of the stock acquired on the date of exercise over (2) the exercise
price (the "spread") is added to your alternative minimum taxable income.

SECTION 7  Change In Employment Status.

withdrawal from the Plan under Section 6(a). (A transfer from one Participating
Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.)

     (b)  Leave of Absence.  For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be
          ----------------
deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave
or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company
in writing. Employment, however, shall be deemed to terminate 90 days after the
Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute guarantees his or her
right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to terminate in any event
when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately returns to
work.

     (c)  Death.  In the event of the Participant's death, the amount credited

          -------------
in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the

funds and may be commingled with the Company's

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

general assets and applied to general corporate purposes. No interest shall be
credited to Plan Accounts.

     (b)  Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price for each share of Stock purchased
          --------------
at the close of an Accumulation Period shall be the lower of:

          (i)    85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading
     day in such Accumulation Period; or

          (ii)   85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last trading
     day before the commencement of the applicable Offering Period (as
     determined under Section 4(e) or, in the case of the first Offering Period
     under the Plan, 85% of the price at which one share of Stock is offered to
     the public in the IPO.

     (c)  Number of Shares Purchased.  As of the last day of each Accumulation
          --------------------------
Period, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number
of shares of Stock calculated in accordance with this Subsection (c), unless the
Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with
Section 6(a). The amount then in the Participant's Plan Account shall be divided
by the Purchase Price, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased
from the Company with the funds in the Participant's Plan Account. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than _____ shares of Stock
with respect to any Accumulation Period nor more than the amounts of Stock set
forth in Sections 9(b) and 14(a). The Committee may determine with respect to
all Participants that any fractional share, as calculated under this Subsection
(c), shall be (i) rounded down to the next lower whole share or (ii) credited as
a fractional share.

     (d)  Available Shares Insufficient.  In the event that the aggregate number
          -----------------------------
of shares that all Participants elect to purchase during an Accumulation Period
exceeds the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under
Section 14(a), then the number of shares to which each Participant is entitled
shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such
Participant has elected to purchase and the denominator of which is the number
of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase.

     (e)  Issuance of Stock.  Certificates representing the shares of Stock
          -----------------
purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be issued to him or her as soon
as reasonably practicable after the close of the applicable Accumulation Period,
except that the Committee may determine that such shares shall be held for each
Participant's benefit by a broker designated by the Committee (unless the
Participant has elected that certificates be issued to him or her). Shares may
be registered in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name of the
Participant and his or her spouse as joint tenants with right of survivorship or
as community property.

     (f)  Unused Cash Balances.  An amount remaining in the Participant's Plan
          --------------------
Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be
carried over in the Participant's Plan Account to the next Accumulation Period.
Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account that represents the
Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

purchased by reason of Subsection (c) above, Section 9(b) or Section 14(a) shall
be refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest.

     (g)  Stockholder Approval.  Any other provision of the Plan
          --------------------
notwithstanding, no shares of Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and
until the Company's stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.

SECTION 9  Limitations On Stock Ownership.
-----------------------------------------

     (a)  Five Percent Limit.  Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
          ------------------
no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Stock under the Plan if such
Participant, immediately after his or her election to purchase such Stock, would
own stock possessing more than 5% of the total combined voting power or value of
