                                1999 STOCK PLAN

                            STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

          Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the NorthPoint
Communications Group, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan") shall have the same
defined meanings in this Stock Option Agreement.

     1.   Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee an Option
          ---------------
to purchase the Common Stock (the "Shares") set forth in the Notice of Grant, at
the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise
Price").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere else in this Option
Agreement, this grant of an Option is subject to the terms, definitions and
provisions of the Plan adopted by the Company, which is incorporated herein by
reference.

          If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an ISO as defined in Section 422
of the Internal Revenue Code.

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

          (a) Right to Exercise. For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement,
              -----------------
     Shares subject to this Option shall vest based on continued employment of
     or consulting services by Optionee with the Company. In no event may this
     Option be exercised after the date of expiration of the term of this Option
     as set forth in the Notice of Grant.

          (b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery
              ------------------
     of a written Exercise Notice. The Exercise Notice must state the number of
     Shares for which the Option is being exercised. The Exercise Notice must be
     signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified
     mail to the Company's Stock Plan Administrator. The Exercise Notice must be
     accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price, including payment of any
     applicable withholding tax. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised
     upon receipt by the Company of such written Exercise Notice accompanied by
     the Exercise Price and payment of any applicable withholding tax.

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

     3.   Termination of Relationship. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
          ---------------------------
Provider, Optionee may exercise this Option during the thirty (30) day period
after such termination to the extent the Option was vested at the date of such
termination (the "Termination Date"). To the extent that Optionee was not vested
in this Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise
this Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. In the
event that Optionee's employment relationship or consulting relationship with
the Company terminates within two years after a Change of Control, and such
termination is an Involuntary Termination (as defined below), or a termination
without Cause (as defined below), then all remaining unvested Shares subject to

following (i) a material reduction in compensation; (ii) a complete exclusion of

Control, taking into account the change in ownership of the Company or
membership of Board of Directors of the Company resulting in the Change of
Control, or (iv) relocation to a facility or location more than 35 miles from
the Company's location prior to the Change of Control.

          For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Cause" shall mean shall mean
(i) material breach of any material terms of this Agreement, (ii) conviction of
a felony, (iii) fraud, (iv) repeated unexplained or unjustified absence, (v)

<PAGE>

Company or its subsidiaries, if any. Anything contained in this Section 3 to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Optionee shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the
Optionee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less
than two-thirds of the entire membership of the Board of Directors of the
Company (excluding the Optionee, if the Optionee is a director), after
reasonable notice to the Optionee and an opportunity for the Optionee, together
with his counsel, to be heard before the Board of Directors, finding that in the
good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, the Optionee has engaged in the
conduct described in this Section 3.

          For purposes of this Section 3, the term "Change of Control" shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

          (a) Ownership. Any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)

     "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
     indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the
     total voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding voting
     securities; or

          (b) Merger/Sale of Assets. The stockholders of the Company approve a
              ---------------------

     than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities
     of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
     represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
     voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting
     power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving
     entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the
     stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
     Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all
     or substantially all of the Company's assets.

     4.   Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Agreement
          -------------

          discretion.

          C.   Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual target
               -----
          bonus of up to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%) of her annual
          base salary. Payment of the bonus shall be at the discretion of the
          Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and shall
          be based on the achievement of objectives agreed to by the
          Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In future years,
          payment of the bonus shall be at the discretion of the Compensation

          the achievement of objectives as determined by such Committee.

          D.   Other Employee Benefits. Executive shall, throughout the Period
               -----------------------

          dismemberment plans and short-term and long-term disability programs,
          sick leave, vacation leave and other executive perquisites which are
          made available to the Company's executive and/or other Company
          employees.

4. Additional Compensation.  In addition to the compensation enumerated above,
   -----------------------
and in return for the consideration contained herein, the Company has agreed to
provide the Executive with the compensation set forth in subsections A, B and C
below.

          A.   Supplemental Life Insurance. The Company will provide Executive
               ---------------------------

          B.   Financial Counseling Assistance. The Company will provide
               -------------------------------
          Executive with annual financial counseling during the Period of
          Coverage by a provider selected by the Executive. In no event,
          however, shall the Company provide Executive with financial

<PAGE>

          counseling in an amount in excess of $10,000 per year.

          C.   Change in Control.
               -----------------

                 (1) Change in Control Protection. Notwithstanding anything to
                     ----------------------------
                 the contrary in the Initial Grant or Option Agreement, upon (i)
                 a Change in Control of the Company, and (ii) a Qualifying
                                                     ---
                 Termination of the Executive, the Executive shall be entitled
                 to the following benefits:

                        a)  Acceleration. Executive's Initial Grant, to the
                            ------------
                        extent not otherwise exercisable for all the shares of
                        Company common stock underlying the Initial Grant, will
                        immediately become exercisable for all the shares of
                        Company common stock underlying the Initial Grant, and
                        may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully
                        vested shares. All options must be exercised within
                        ninety (90) days of the date of the Qualifying
                        Termination.

                        b)  Installment Sum Payment of Salary and Bonus.
                            -------------------------------------------
                        Beginning within ten (10) business days after a
                        Qualifying Termination (or, if later, the last day of
                        any period during which the Release may be revoked by
                        Executive), the Company shall make twelve (12) equal
                        monthly cash payments to Executive, subject to any
                        mandatory tax withholding, equal to one-twelfth (1/12)
                        times the sum of Executive's Annual Base Salary and
                        Executive's Target Bonus.

                        c)  Continuing Benefit Coverage. The Company will, at
                            ---------------------------
                        normal employee rates, provide Executive and, to the
                        extent available before the Qualifying Termination,
                        Executive's eligible dependents with coverage under the
                        Company's medical/dental plan, life insurance and
                        accident plan and disability plan until the earlier of
                        (i) one (1) year after the date of Executive's
                        Qualifying Termination or (ii) the first date that
                        Executive is covered under another employer's program
                        which provides substantially the same level of benefit
                        coverage without exclusion for pre-existing conditions.
                        After this period of coverage, Executive (and, if
                        applicable, Executive's eligible dependents) may elect
                        to continue coverage under the Company's group
                        medical/dental plan at Executive's own expense in
                        accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
                        Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA") and,
                        for purposes of determining the maximum period of COBRA
                        coverage, such maximum period will begin immediately
                        following the end of Company-subsidized coverage.

                        d)  Excess Tax Gross-Up Payment. If any compensation
                            ---------------------------
                        payable hereunder, either alone or when aggregated with
                        other compensation payable to Executive, would
                        constitute a parachute payment that would subject
                        Executive to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the
                        Internal Revenue Code, Executive shall be entitled to
                        receive an additional lump

                                       4
<PAGE>

                        sum cash payment, subject to mandatory tax withholding,
                        which, when added to all compensation payable to
                        Executive that constitutes a parachute payment, provides
                        Executive with the same after tax-compensation that she
                        would have received from such parachute payments had
                        none of such compensation constituted a parachute
                        payment (a "Tax Gross-Up"). The procedures for making
                        such payment are set forth in Section 6.

               (2)  Limitation on Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything else
                    --------------------------
               set forth in this Section 4, if it is reasonably determined by
               the Company's Board of Directors in good faith, upon consultation
               with Company management and the Company's independent auditors,
               that the acceleration of vesting of stock options or restricted
               stock or the acceleration and cash-out of affiliate options upon
               a Change in Control (to the extent that those Sections provide
               for acceleration or cash-out that would not otherwise occur under
               the terms of the instruments evidencing such options or
               restricted stock) would preclude accounting for any proposed
               business combination of the Company as a pooling of interests,
               and the Board of Directors otherwise desires to approve such a
               proposed business transaction which requires as a condition to
               the closing of such transaction that it be accounted for as a
               pooling of interests, then, solely to the extent necessary to
               permit such accounting, such acceleration or cash-out shall not
               occur. The previous sentence shall not limit any acceleration of
               vesting or cash-out of any option or restricted stock that would
               occur, in absence of this Employment Agreement, under the terms
               of the Option Agreement or Option Plan.

          (3)  Offset of Benefits. The compensation and benefits payable
               ------------------
               hereunder shall not be reduced or offset by any amounts that
               Executive earns or could earn from any other sources following
               Executive's Qualifying Termination. However, except to the extent
               the Company expressly agrees otherwise in writing, if the Company
               becomes obligated to pay Executive any severance pay or severance
               benefits under a separate employment or severance agreement or
               arrangement, the benefits payable hereunder shall be reduced by
               the amount of benefits payable under such other agreement or
               arrangement.

5. Restrictive Covenants.

     A. In return for the consideration contained herein, Executive has agreed
     to certain restrictive covenants set forth below. During the Period of
     Coverage, Executive agrees that she shall:

          (1)  devote substantially all of her time and energy to the
          performance of Executive's duties described herein, except during
          periods of illness or vacation.

          (2)  not directly or indirectly provide services to or through any
          person, firm or other entity except the Company, unless otherwise
          authorized by the Company in writing.

                                       5
<PAGE>

          (3)  not render any services of any kind or character for Executive's
          own account or for any other person, firm or entity without first
          obtaining the Company's written consent.

     B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall have the right to perform
     such incidental services as are necessary in connection with (i) her
     private, passive investments, but only if Executive is not obligated or
     required to (and shall not in fact) devote any managerial efforts which
     interfere with the services required to be performed by him hereunder, (ii)
     her charitable or community activities or (iii) participation in trade or
     professional organizations, but only if such incidental services do not
     significantly interfere with the performance of Executive's services
     hereunder.

6. Excise Tax Gross-Up Procedures.

     A. The amount of any such Tax Gross-Up to which Executive becomes entitled
     under Section 4.C(1)(d), will be determined pursuant to the following:

               X  =  Y / (1 - (A + B + C)), where

               X is the total dollar amount of the Tax Gross-Up payable to
               Executive;

               Y is the total Excise Tax (as defined in Internal revenue Code
               Section 4999) imposed on Executive;

               A is the Excise Tax rate in effect at the time;

               B is the highest combined marginal federal income and applicable
               state income tax rate in effect for Executive, after taking into
               account the deductibility of state income taxes against federal
               income taxes to the extent allowable, for the calendar year in
               which the Tax Gross-Up is paid; and

               C is the applicable Hospital Insurance (Medicare) Tax Rate in
               effect for Executive for the calendar year in which the Tax
               Gross-Up is paid;

provided if there is a change in the tax laws after the date hereof that would
render the amount determined above insufficient to fully reimburse Executive on
an after-tax basis for the amount of any Excise Tax, Executive shall be entitled
to such additional amount as may be necessary to provide him with such
reimbursement

     B. Within ninety (90) days after a determination is made by the Internal
     Revenue Service or Executive's tax advisor that an item of compensation or
     benefit payable hereunder constitutes a parachute payment under Code
     Section 280G for which

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Executive is liable for an Excise Tax, Executive shall identify the nature
     of the payment to the Company and submit to the Company the calculation of
     the Excise Tax attributable to that payment and the Tax Gross-Up to which
     Executive is entitled with respect to such tax liability. The Company will
     pay such Tax Gross-Up to Executive (net of all applicable withholding
     taxes, including any taxes required to be withheld under Code Section 4999)
     within ten (10) business days after Executive's submission of the
     calculation of such Excise Tax and the resulting Tax Gross-Up, provided
     such calculations represent a reasonable interpretation of the applicable
     law and regulations.

     C. In the event that Executive's actual Excise Tax liability is determined
     by a Final Determination to be greater than the Excise Tax liability
     previously taken into account for purposes of the Tax Gross-Up paid to
     Executive pursuant to this Section 6, then within ninety (90) days
     following the Final Determination, Executive shall submit to the Company a
     new Excise Tax calculation based upon the Final Determination. Within ten
     (10) business days after receipt of such calculation, the Company shall pay
     Executive the additional Tax Gross-Up attributable to such excess Excise
     Tax liability.

     D. In the event that Executive's actual Excise Tax liability is determined
     by a Final Determination to be less than the Excise Tax liability
     previously taken into account for purposes of the Tax Gross-Up paid to
     Executive pursuant to this Section 6, then Executive shall refund to the
     Company, promptly upon receipt, any federal or state tax refund
     attributable to the Excise Tax overpayment.

7. Termination of Employment.

     A. By Company. The Company may terminate Executive's employment under this
        ----------
     Employment Agreement at any time for any reason, with or without Cause.

     B. By Executive. Executive may terminate her employment under this
        ------------
     Employment Agreement at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause, by
     giving the Company at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such
     termination. However, such thirty (30) day notice requirement shall not
     apply if Executive terminates her employment due to a Change in Control.

8. Release of Claims. All compensation and benefits under Section 4 above are
in consideration for Executive's execution of the Release, which Release
Executive does not subsequently revoke or attempt to revoke.  If Executive does
not execute such a Release or if Executive attempts to revoke such Release,
Executive will not be entitled to any of the benefits provided under this
Employment Agreement.

9. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Employment Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the Company, its successors
and assigns, and the Executive, the personal representative of her estate and
her heirs and legatees; provided, however, Executive may not assign, transfer or
delegate her rights or obligations hereunder and any attempt to do so shall be
void.

     deposited in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage
     prepaid, return receipt requested. If such notice, demand or other

     notices, demands and other communications as herein provided by a written
     notice given in the manner aforesaid to the other party hereto.

11. Waivers.  No waiver of any term or provision of this Employment Agreement
shall be valid unless such waiver is in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the waiver is sought.  In the case of the Company, such waiver
shall be signed by at least one (1) member of the Company's Board.  The waiver
of any term or provision of this Employment Agreement shall not apply to any
subsequent breach of this Employment Agreement.

12. Governing Document.  This Employment Agreement, the Option Agreement, the
Option Plan, and all other exhibits and attachments hereto constitute the entire
agreement and understanding of the Company and Executive with respect to the
terms and conditions of Executive's employment with the Company and the payment
of severance and other benefits, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
written or verbal agreements and understandings between Executive and the
Company relating to such subject matter.  Where the terms of the Option
Agreement or Option Plan conflict with the terms of this Employment Agreement,
the terms of this Employment Agreement shall control. Any and all prior
agreements, understandings or representations relating to Executive's employment
with the Company are hereby terminated and cancelled in their entirety and are
of no further force or effect.

13. Governing Law.  The provisions of this Employment Agreement shall be
construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of California applicable
to agreements executed and to be

                                       8
<PAGE>

wholly performed within the State of California. If any provision of this
Employment Agreement as applied to any party or to any circumstance should be
adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable for
any reason, the invalidity of that provision shall in no way affect (to the
maximum extent permitted by law) the application of such provision under
circumstances different from those adjudicated by the court, the application of
any other provision of this Employment Agreement, or the enforceability or
invalidity of this Employment Agreement as a whole. Should any provision of this
Employment Agreement become or be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction by reason of the scope, extent or duration of its coverage,
then such provision shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform
to applicable law so as to be valid and enforceable or, if such provision cannot
be so amended without materially altering the intention of the parties, then
such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of this Employment Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect.

14.  Deductions. All amounts paid to Executive hereunder are subject to all
withholdings and deductions required by law.

15.  Amendment and Termination. This Employment Agreement may be modified,
amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by Executive and an
authorized member of the Company's Board.

16.  Remedies. All rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Employment
Agreement or by law shall be cumulative, and no such right or remedy shall be
exclusive of any other.  A party may pursue any one or more rights or remedies
hereunder or may seek damages or specific performance in the event of another
party's breach hereunder or may pursue any other remedy by law or equity,
whether or not stated in this Employment Agreement.

17.  Arbitration.  Executive agrees that any and all disputes that she has with
the Company, or any of its employees, which arise out of her employment or under
the terms of her employment, shall be resolved through final and binding
arbitration, as specified herein.  This shall include, without limitation,
disputes relating to this Employment Agreement, her employment by the Company or
the termination thereof, claims for breach of contract or breach of the covenant
of good faith and fair dealing, and any claims of discrimination or other claims
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Fair
Employment and Housing Act, the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act, the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or any other federal, state
or local law or regulation now in existence or hereinafter enacted and as
amended from time to time concerning in any way the subject of her employment
with the Company or its termination.  The only disputes not covered by this
Employment Agreement are the following:  (i) claims for benefits under the
unemployment insurance or workers' compensation laws, and (ii) claims concerning
the validity, infringement or enforceability of any trade secret, patent right,
copyright, trademark or any other intellectual property held or sought by the
Company or which the Company could otherwise seek; in each of these instances
such disputes or claims shall not be subject to arbitration, but rather, shall
be resolved pursuant to applicable law.  Binding arbitration shall be conducted
in the county in which the Company's principal place of business is then located
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration

                                       9

Association (AAA). One arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the
Company and Executive from the AAA Employment Advisory Panel. Each side shall
bear its own attorneys' fees; that is, the arbitrator shall not have authority
to award attorneys' fees unless a statutory section at issue in the dispute
                         ------
authorizes the award of attorneys' fees to the prevailing party, in which case
the arbitrator has authority to make such award as permitted by the statute in
question.  Executive understands and agrees that the arbitration shall be
instead of any jury trial and that the arbitrator's decision shall be final and
binding to the fullest extent permitted by law and enforceable by any court
having jurisdiction thereof.

18.  Counterparts.  This Employment Agreement may be executed in more than one
counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Employment
Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

remedies available to you against the Company, including, but not limited to,
any employment-related cause of action, any tort or contract claims, any claim
for violation of any state, federal or local statute, ordinance or regulation
relating to employment or employment discrimination.

          must have materially affected his settlement with the
          debtor.
