INTRODUCTION

Symantec Corporation has amended your 401(k) Plan as of August 1, 2000. The
amended Plan continues to be for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees and
their beneficiaries.

We all need to plan for the future, especially for our retirement. We hope this
Plan will play a part in helping you to achieve financial security in the coming
years.

This booklet is a brief description of the main provisions and features of the
Plan and of your rights, obligations and benefits under the Plan. Please read it
carefully to obtain a good understanding of the benefits that are being provided
to you.

If you have any questions about the Plan that this booklet does not answer, you
should contact the Plan Administrator for a further explanation.

You may also want to review the complete Plan, which is a lengthy legal
document. The complete Plan document is available for inspection by you, your
beneficiaries, or your legal representative at any reasonable time. In the event
of any discrepancy between this Summary Plan Description and the actual
provisions of the Plan, the Plan document will control.

ELIGIBILITY

You become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first business day that is
administratively feasible following your date of hire.

The following classes of employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan:

-   Collective bargaining employees;

-   Non-resident aliens receiving no U.S. source income;

-   Leased employees;

-   Person covered under any other retirement plan to which the Employer is
    required to contribute either directly or indirectly;

-   Temporary workers hired for a specific non-recurring assignment;

-   Individuals who provide services to the Employer as an independent
    contractor (even if the individual is later retroactively reclassified as a
    common law employee); and

-   Individuals who provide services to the Employer pursuant to an agreement
    between the Employer and a temporary agency or other leasing organization.

The Plan recognizes service with each employer from which it hired an employee
in connection with a stock or asset acquisition of the employer and with which
it had contractually agreed to recognize service.

YOUR VOLUNTARY 401(k) CONTRIBUTIONS

You may defer a portion of your pay (calculated before deductions for federal
income taxes are made). This means that you will pay less income tax by
participating in the 401(k) Plan.

You defer in whole percentages from 1% to 20% of your compensation. Generally,
you may not contribute more than $10,500 in the 2000 calendar year.

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

You indicate the percentage of your pay you want to contribute. Then, each time
you are paid, the amount you have selected is automatically taken out of your
paycheck and deposited into your 401(k) account. You contribute a percentage of
your pay, not a fixed dollar amount.

CHANGING YOUR DEDUCTION AMOUNT

You may change the percentage you are contributing to the Plan at any time
during the Plan Year. Changes will become effective as soon as administratively
feasible after your election change.

Changes in your deduction amount are made via The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline or
SchwabPlan(R) Website.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION MATCHING
CONTRIBUTIONS

Symantec Corporation will make Matching Contributions equal to 100% of your
Voluntary 401(k) Contributions up to $500 of your compensation, and equal to 50%
of your Voluntary 401(k) Contributions in excess of $500 but not exceeding 3% of
your compensation. Your contributions in excess of 3% of your pay will not be
matched.

Forfeitures of non-vested Matching Contribution account balances will be used to
reduce the Employer's Matching Contribution.

SYMANTEC CORPORATION PROFIT SHARING
CONTRIBUTIONS

Symantec Corporation may elect to make an annual discretionary Profit Sharing
Contribution to your

                                                                               2
<PAGE>

account. These Profit Sharing Contributions will serve to increase the value of
your benefit at retirement.

You must be employed on the last day of the Plan Year (December 31) in order to
be eligible to share in any Profit Sharing Contribution made for the Plan Year.

Forfeitures of non-vested Profit Sharing Contribution account balances will be
allocated to participants who are employed on the last day of the Plan Year in a
manner such that all participants will share equally as a percentage of pay.

VESTING

Vesting is your ownership in and right to the value of your account. You are
always 100% vested in your Voluntary 401(k) Contributions and their earnings.

Matching Contributions and Profit Sharing Contributions are subject to the
Plan's vesting schedule, which is:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
      Years of Service        Vesting %
      ----------------        ---------
      <S>                     <C>
        Less than 1              0%
             1                  20%
             2                  40%
             3                  60%
             4                  80%
        5 or more              100%
</TABLE>

Your service for vesting purposes is counted from your date of employment with
Symantec Corporation. The Plan also recognizes your service with each employer
from which it hired an employee in connection with a stock or asset acquisition
of the employer and with which it had contractually agreed to recognize service.

The vested part of your Employer-funded accounts depends on the number of Years
of Service credits you earn. You earn a Year of Service if you complete 1,000
hours of service during a twelve month period which is the Plan Year. An hour of
service is an hour for which you are directly or indirectly paid, including paid
vacation, sick leave, military leave and maternity or paternity leaves of
absence. However, you will not receive more than 501 hours of service for any
one period of paid absence.

A 1-Year Break in Service will occur at the end of a Plan Year in which you have
not completed more than 500 hours of service. If you terminate service and later
return to work, you will receive credit for your service earned prior to the
termination date if:

(a) Your Years of Service prior to your termination were greater than the number
of your 1-Year Breaks in Service.

(b) The number of your 1-Year Breaks in Service was less than 5; or

(c) You had earned a vested (non-forfeitable) interest in your Employer-funded
accounts prior to your termination date.

DISTRIBUTIONS

You may receive a distribution of your vested account balance when you terminate
employment. Distributions to disabled, retired or terminated participants and
beneficiaries of deceased participants will be made as soon as administratively
possible.

If you are single, the vested balance in your account will be used to purchase
an annuity that provides monthly payments for your lifetime. If you are married,
the vested account balance will be used to purchase a joint and 50% survivor
annuity. This type of annuity provides for a monthly payment during your
lifetime with payments continuing after your death to your surviving spouse
equal to 50% of the monthly amount you received.

However, the vested balance in your accounts may be paid to you in a lump sum
payment, periodic or ratable monthly installment payments, or another form of
annuity or annuity contract provided that if you are married, your spouse agrees
to an alternate form of payment in favor of the 50% joint and survivor annuity,
or, provided that if you are single, you elect to waive the single life annuity
form of payment.

Additionally, when you terminate employment you are permitted to roll over any
outstanding loan balance into another qualified plan if such plan will accept
the loan.

Regardless of your marital status, if your vested account balance is not greater
than $5,000 when you leave your Employer, your account balance will be paid
automatically to you in a lump sum.

PRE-RETIREMENT DISTRIBUTIONS

You may receive a pre-retirement distribution if you have reached age 59 1/2
and are 100% vested in your account from which such distribution is made.
However, any distribution will reduce the value of the benefits you will receive
at actual retirement. This distribution is made at your election.

                                                                               3
<PAGE>

If you wish to receive a pre-retirement distribution from the Plan in one
payment, you (and your spouse, if you are married) must first waive the annuity
form of payment.

Your Employer will provide appropriate forms and related information at your
request.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

Whenever you receive a distribution from your Plan, it will normally be subject
to income taxes. You may, however, reduce or defer entirely the tax due on your
distribution through use of one of the following methods:

a) The rollover of all or a portion of the distribution to an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified employer plan. This will result in
no tax being due until you begin withdrawing funds from the IRA or other
qualified employer plan. The rollover of the distribution, however, MUST be made
within strict time frames (normally, within 60 days after you receive your
distribution). Under certain circumstances all or a portion of a distribution
may not qualify for this rollover treatment. In addition, most distributions
will be subject to mandatory federal income tax withholding at a rate of 20%.
This will reduce the amount you actually receive. For this reason, if you wish
to rollover all or a portion of your distribution amount, the direct transfer
option described in paragraph b) below would be the better choice.

b) You may request for most distributions that a direct transfer of all or a
portion of your distribution amount be made to either an Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) or another qualified employer plan willing to accept the transfer.
A direct transfer will result in no tax being due until you withdraw funds from
the IRA or other qualified employer plan. Like the rollover, under certain
circumstances all or a portion of the amount to be distributed may not qualify
for this direct transfer. If you elect to actually receive the distribution
rather than make a direct transfer, then in most cases 20% of the distribution
amount will be withheld for federal income tax purposes. If you decide to
directly transfer all or a portion of your distribution amount you (and your
spouse, if you are married) must first waive the annuity form of payment.

Due to the complexities involved with income taxation, you are encouraged to
consult with a professional tax advisor when you receive a distribution from the
Plan.

NORMAL RETIREMENT

You are eligible for Normal Retirement when you reach age sixty-five (65). You
are always 100% vested in your accounts upon attainment of Normal Retirement.

EARLY RETIREMENT

You are eligible for Early Retirement when you reach age fifty-five (55) and
have completed at least five (5) Years of Service. You become 100% vested on
your satisfaction of the Early Retirement requirements.

INVESTMENT FUND OPTIONS

Your Employer makes available various mutual funds from which you may make your
investment selections. These funds will differ in potential investment return
and risk. Your Employer may change the funds available to you from time to time.
You will be notified when any change occurs.

INVESTMENT FUND DIRECTION

You direct the investment of your accounts in multiples of 1%. The investment
alternatives differ in the level of potential investment earnings and risk.

In the future, you may change your investment selections or transfer your
existing balances so that a new "mix" of investments is selected. Future
investment changes may be made at any time. Realignments of existing funds,
among investment options, may be elected at any time. Both future changes and
realignments are executed through The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline or via The
SchwabPlan(R) Website.

A NOTE ABOUT RISK

Symantec Corporation has made available the different investment funds in the
hope of meeting the various savings and investment goals of all participants. As
you make your investment choices, keep in mind that there is risk involved. The
funds differ in growth potential and risk.

Pursuant to Department of Labor Regulation 2550.404(c)-1(b)(2)(i)(B)(1)(i), this
Plan is intended to qualify as an ERISA 404(c) plan that relieves Plan
fiduciaries of liability for any investment losses that result from investment
directions made by Plan participants.

Consistent with the Plan's status as a "404(c) plan", investment instructions
for new participants shall be in written form and directed to the Plan
Administrator. Thereafter, and for all other participants, all investment
instructions shall be made through an automated voice response unit or a website
which is available to all participants. The Plan Administrator shall provide
participants with appropriate procedural instructions needed to

                                                                               4
<PAGE>

access and operate the automated voice response unit and website.

The Plan Administrator or its representative will provide, at the request of a
participant who has provided investment instructions, a reasonable and timely
opportunity to obtain written confirmation of such investment instructions.

The Plan Administrator or its designated agents shall be the party responsible
for providing the "Required Disclosures" and "Optional By Request" information
on the available investment alternatives as described by Department of Labor
Regulations 2550.404(c).

EMPLOYEE ACCOUNT STATEMENTS

You will receive a statement quarterly. Your statement will illustrate your
investment choice(s), any contributions received by the Plan during that
quarter, investment gains or losses, ending fund balances and your vesting
percentage.

TOLL FREE TELEPHONE SERVICE

Each participant will be assigned a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Using
your Social Security number and your assigned PIN, you will be able to access
The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline.

Through the ease of touch-tone technology, The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline offers you
immediate access to your account information, 24 hours a day seven days a week.

You can check either your total account balance, or each individual fund
balance. It is also possible to change the manner in which your future
contributions will be invested, or make an investment fund transfer. Participant
loan information is also readily available through The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline.

WORLD WIDE WEB SERVICE

Using your Social Security number and your assigned PIN, you have access to The
SchwabPlan(R) website. This tool allows you to view your account balance,
execute transfers or election changes, access asset allocation and investment
planning tools and many other features. (http://www.schwabplan.com)

FINANCIAL HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS

The Administrator may direct the Trustee to distribute part or all of your
vested account balance in the event of immediate and heavy financial need. This
hardship distribution is not in addition to your other benefits and will
therefore reduce the value of the benefits you will receive at normal
retirement.

Withdrawal will be authorized only if the distribution is to be used for one of
the following purposes:

(a) The payment of medical expenses (described in Section 213(d) of the Internal
Revenue Code) incurred by you, your spouse or your dependent;

(b)  The purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of your principal residence;

(c) The payment of tuition for the next year of post-secondary education for
yourself, your spouse or dependent;

(d) The need to prevent your eviction from your principal residence or
foreclosure on the mortgage of your principal residence.

In addition, a distribution will be made from these accounts only if you certify
and agree that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) The distribution is not in excess of the amount of your immediate and heavy
financial need;

(b) You have obtained all distributions, other than hardship distributions, and
all nontaxable loans currently available under all plans maintained by your
Employer;

(c) Your elective contributions and employee contributions will be suspended for
at least twelve (12) months after your receipt of the hardship distribution; and

(d) You will not make elective contributions for your taxable year immediately
following the taxable year of the hardship distribution, except to the extent
permitted by the Plan.

Since this Plan has significant tax and savings advantages, the Internal Revenue
Service imposes restrictions on withdrawals. Distributions prior to age 59 1/2,
disability or death may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. You are urged
to consult with your personal tax advisor prior to requesting a distribution.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

There are various rules and requirements that apply for any loan. These rules
are outlined in this Section. In addition, your Employer has established a
written loan program which explains these requirements in detail. You can
request a copy of the loan program from the Plan Administrator.

Actively employed participants may apply to the Plan Administrator for a loan
from the Plan. Your application must be in writing on forms which the Plan
Administrator makes available via The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline.

                                                                               5
<PAGE>

The Plan Administrator may also request that you provide additional information
such as financial statements, tax returns and credit reports.

After reviewing your application, the Plan Administrator may, in its discretion,
determine that you qualify for the loan. The Plan Administrator will then inform
the Trustee that you qualify. The Trustee may review the Plan Administrator's
determination and make a loan to you if it is a prudent investment for the Plan.

Loans will be available to all actively employed participants on a uniform and
non-discriminatory basis. Loans are available exclusively from your vested
account. All loans must be adequately secured. You may use up to one-half (1/2)
of your vested account balance under the Plan as security for the loan.

The minimum loan amount is $1,000. A participant may have a maximum of one
outstanding loan at any time.

The maximum loan amount is the lesser of one half of your vested account balance
or $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of plan loans during the
prior one-year period.

Loans are repaid through payroll deduction over a maximum term of five years.
Loans which are applied to purchase your principal residence may be repaid over
a longer term not to exceed fifteen (15) years. All loans will bear a
commercially reasonable rate of interest similar to what a bank or other
professional lender would charge for making a loan in a similar circumstance.
Since loans in this Plan are considered a directed investment, your principal
and interest payments will be credited to your account.

If you fail to make payments when they are due under the loan, you will be
considered to be "in default." The Trustee would then have the authority to take
all reasonable actions to collect the balance owing on the loan. This could
include filing a lawsuit or foreclosing on the security for the loan. Under
certain circumstances, a loan that is in default may be considered a
distribution from the Plan, and could result in taxable income to you. In any
event, your failure to repay a loan will reduce the benefit you would otherwise
be entitled to from the Plan.

All costs associated with establishing and maintaining a participant loan will
be charged directly to your account as an investment expense of engaging in a
participant loan (Est. - $50, Adm. - $10 per quarter).

Additional Loan information, including the ability to apply for a loan, is
available by calling The SchwabPlan(R) Hotline.

ROLLOVERS AND TRANSFERS

You may be eligible to rollover or transfer a distribution you received from
another employer's plan into this Plan. Your Employer will provide appropriate
forms and related information at your request.

NAMING A BENEFICIARY

When you enroll, you name a person(s) to receive your account in the event of
your death. You may change your beneficiary at any time by requesting a new
beneficiary form.

If your death occurs while still employed with Symantec Corporation, your
account balance will become 100% vested and be paid to your beneficiary.
Generally, if you are married, your spouse is by law the sole primary
beneficiary unless you designate otherwise and your spouse agrees to a different
beneficiary by signing a notarized statement that is part of your enrollment
forms.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

Although Symantec Corporation is responsible for the administration of the Plan,
we have retained Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. to assist us. Schwab
Retirement Plan Services, Inc. specializes in retirement plan consulting and
administration. Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. has experience in
providing services for over one thousand employers nationwide.

Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. provides the recordkeeping, accounting,
toll free telephone exchange and world wide web service features of the Plan.

Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. will also assist us in preparing reporting
forms that are filed each year with the Internal Revenue Service and the
Department of Labor. These government agencies monitor the operation of all
qualified retirement plans.

If the Plan becomes top heavy, certain non-key employees will be provided with a
minimum contribution. Generally, the minimum will be 3% of your compensation for
the Plan Year. The Plan Administrator will notify you if the Plan is or ever
becomes top heavy.

Your benefits are not guaranteed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation
(PBGC). Benefits are not guaranteed because only certain defined benefit

                                                                               6
<PAGE>

pension plans are eligible for PBGC coverage. This Plan is a defined
contribution plan. That means your benefits from this Plan are based on the
value of your account balance.

As a general rule, your account may not be used as collateral, given away or
attached by your creditors. There is an exception, however, that permits a court
to order the Plan Administrator to recognize your obligations as a result of
court-ordered child or spousal support or alimony payments. If such a domestic
relations order is received by the Plan Administrator, all or a portion of your
account may be used to satisfy the obligation.

The Employer intends to maintain the Plan indefinitely. However, it is always
possible that something could happen to make it necessary for the Employer to
terminate the Plan. If this happens, all participants will automatically become
fully vested and entitled to their total account balance under the Plan.

The Employer may amend the Plan at any time provided that the amendment will not
either (a) cause assets of the Plan to be used for purposes other than the
exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries, or (b) cause any
reduction in the amount credited to your account balance.

In order to terminate or amend the plan, the Board of Directors of the Employer
must resolve to do so and advise you in writing of such resolution. Unless
otherwise required by law, any such written notice shall be provided to you
subsequent to the effective date of any such termination or amendment.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER ERISA

As a participant in the Plan you are entitled to certain rights and protections
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). ERISA
provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to:

(a) Examine without charge, at the Plan Administrator's office and at other
specified locations such as worksites and union halls, all Plan documents,
including insurance contracts, collective bargaining agreements and copies of
all documents filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor, such as
detailed annual reports and Plan descriptions. In addition, a list of any other
employers who have adopted this Plan and their IRS Identification Numbers is
available on request.

(b) Obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written
request to the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable
charge for copies.

(c) Receive a summary of the Plan's annual financial report. The Plan
Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this
summary annual report.

(d) Obtain a statement telling you what your benefits would be at Normal
Retirement Age if you stop working under the Plan now. THIS STATEMENT MUST BE
REQUESTED IN WRITING AND IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR. The
Plan will provide this statement free of charge.

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon
the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan.
The people who operate your Plan, called "fiduciaries" of the Plan, have a duty
to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and
beneficiaries. No one, including your Employer, your union, or any other person,
may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you
from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

If your claim for a benefit is denied in whole or in part you must receive a
written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have the right to have the
Plan Administrator review and reconsider your claim.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For
instance, if you request materials from the Plan Administrator and do not
receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a
case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and
pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials
were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.
If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in
part, you may file suit in a state or federal court.

If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan's money, or if you are
discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from
the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court
will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful,
the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you
lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees if, for example, it
finds your claim is frivolous. If you have any questions about your Plan, you
should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this
statement or about your rights under ERISA, you should contact the nearest
Regional Office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration of the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries,
Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S.

                                                                               7

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.

CLAIMS PROCESS

Benefits will be paid to participants and their beneficiaries without the
necessity of formal claims. You or your beneficiaries may make a request for any
Plan benefits to which you believe you are entitled. Any such request should be
in writing and should be made to the Plan Administrator.

Your request for Plan benefits will be considered a claim for Plan benefits, and
it will be subject to a full and fair review. Claims for benefits that are
insured will be reviewed in accordance with procedures contained in the
insurance contracts and policies. If a claim under the Plan is denied in whole
or in part, you or your beneficiary will receive written notification. The
notification will include the reasons for the denial, with reference to the
specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial was based, a description of
any additional information needed to correct the claim, and an explanation of
the claims review procedure. If we fail to respond within 90 days, your claim is
treated as denied.

You or your beneficiary may file a written request for review of the claim to
the Plan Administrator. ANY REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF A DENIED CLAIM MUST BE FILED
WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE WRITTEN NOTICE OF DENIAL OF YOUR CLAIM.

Any such request should be accompanied by documents or records in support of
your appeal. You or your beneficiary may review pertinent documents and submit
issues and comments in writing. The Plan Administrator will review the claim and
provide, within 60 days, a written response to the appeal. (This period may be
extended an additional 60 days under certain circumstances.) In this response,
the Plan Administrator will explain the reason for the decision, with specific
reference to the provisions of the Plan on which the decision was based. The
Plan Administrator has the exclusive right to interpret the appropriate Plan
provisions. Decisions of the Plan Administrator are conclusive and binding.

                                                                               8<PAGE>
                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.08

                              SYMANTEC CORPORATION
                           1996 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
                         (AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 12, 2001)

   1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract,
retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions
are important to the success of the Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company's
future performance through awards of Options. Capitalized terms not defined in
the text are defined in Section 22.

   2. Shares Subject to the Plan.

   2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 17, the total
number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this
Plan will be 21,236,102 Shares. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 17, Shares that: (a)
are subject to issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to
such Option for any reason other than exercise of such Option; (b) are subject
to an Award granted hereunder but are forfeited or are repurchased by the
Company at the original issue price; or (c) are subject to an Award that
otherwise terminates without Shares being issued; will again be available for
grant and issuance in connection with future Awards under this Plan. At all
times the Company shall reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares
as shall be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding Options
granted under this Plan and all other outstanding but unvested Awards granted
under this Plan.

   2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding Shares
is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the
capital structure of the Company without consideration, then (a) the number of
Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan, (b) the Exercise Prices of and
number of Shares subject to outstanding Options, and (c) the number of Shares
subject to other outstanding Awards will be proportionately adjusted, subject to
any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company and
compliance with applicable securities laws; provided, however, that fractions of
a Share will not be issued but will either be replaced by a cash payment equal
to the Fair Market Value of such fraction of a Share or will be rounded up to
the nearest whole Share, as determined by the Committee.

   3. Eligibility. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted only to
employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the
Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards may be
granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent contractors
and advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company; provided such consultants, contractors and advisors render bona fide
services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a
capital-raising transaction; and provided further, that unless otherwise
determined by the Board, non-employee directors shall receive options only
pursuant to the formula award provisions set forth in Section 6. No person will
be eligible to receive more than 500,000 Shares in any calendar year under this
Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder, other than new employees of the
Company or of a Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company (including new
employees who are also officers and directors of the Company or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) who are eligible to receive up to a
maximum of 800,000 Shares in the calendar year in which they commence their
employment. A person may be granted more than one Award under this Plan.

   4. Administration.

   4.1 Committee Authority. This Plan will be administered by the Committee or
by the Board acting as the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and
conditions of this Plan, and to the direction of the Board, except as provided
in Section 6, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out this
Plan. Without limitation, the Committee will have the authority to:

      (a) construe and interpret this Plan, any Award Agreement and any other
   agreement or document executed pursuant to this Plan;

      (b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this
   Plan;

<PAGE>

      (c) select persons to receive Awards;

      (d) determine the form and terms of Awards;

      (e) determine the number of Shares or other consideration subject to
   Awards;

      (f) determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination with,
   in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards under
   this Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or any
   Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;

      (g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;

      (h) determine the vesting, exercisability and payment of Awards;

      (i) correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency
   in this Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;

      (j) amend any option agreements executed in connection with this Plan;

      (k) determine whether an Award has been earned; and

      (l) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
   administration of this Plan.

   4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the Committee with
respect to any Award will be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of
the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of this Plan or Award,
at any later time, and such determination will be final and binding on the
Company and on all persons having an interest in any Award under this Plan. The
Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to
grant an Award under this Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the
Company.

   4.3 Section 162(m) Requirements. If two or more members of the Board are
Outside Directors, the Committee will be comprised of at least two (2) members
of the Board, all of whom are Outside Directors.

   5. Options. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will
determine whether such Options will be Incentive Stock Options within the
meaning of the Code ("ISOs") or Nonqualified Stock Options ("NQSOs"), the number
of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period
during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of
the Option, subject to the following:

   5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under this Plan will be
evidenced by an Award Agreement which will expressly identify the Option as an
ISO or an NQSO ("Stock Option Agreement"), and will be in such form and contain
such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the
Committee may from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

   5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which
the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise
specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan
will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the granting
of the Option.

   5.3 Exercise Period. Options will be exercisable within the times or upon the
events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement
governing such Option; provided, however, that no Option will be exercisable
after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted; and
provided further that no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution
owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
("Ten Percent Stockholder") will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5)
years from the date the ISO is granted. The Committee also may provide for the
exercise of Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time,
periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares as
the Committee determines.

                                       2
<PAGE>

   5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the
Committee when the Option is granted and may be not less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; provided that the Exercise
Price of any ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder will not be less than 110%
of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the
Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 7 of this Plan.

   5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the
Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the "Exercise Agreement")
in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each
Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions
imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any, and such
representations and agreements regarding Participant's investment intent and
access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable
by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with payment
in full of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

   5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock
Option Agreement, exercise of an Option will always be subject to the following:

      (a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or
   Disability, then the Participant may exercise such Participant's Options only
   to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable upon the
   Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date
   (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as may be
   determined by the Committee, with any exercise beyond three (3) months after
   the Termination Date deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event, no later than
   the expiration date of the Options; provided however, that options granted to
   non-employee directors pursuant to Section 6 shall remain exercisable for a
   period of seven (7) months following the non-employee director's termination
   as a director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.

      (b) If the Participant is Terminated because of Participant's death or
   Disability (or the Participant dies within three (3) months after a
   Termination other than because of Participant's death or disability), then
   Participant's Options may be exercised only to the extent that such Options
   would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date and must
   be exercised by Participant (or Participant's legal representative or
   authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination
   Date (or such shorter or longer time period not exceeding five (5) years as
   may be determined by the Committee, with any such exercise beyond (a) three
   (3) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason
   other than the Participant's death or Disability, or (b) twelve (12) months
   after the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant's death or
   Disability, deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than the
   expiration date of the Options.

      (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Participant is
   Terminated because of the Participant's actual or alleged commitment of a
   criminal act or an intentional tort and the Company (or an employee of the
   Company) is the victim or object of such criminal act or intentional tort or
   such criminal act or intentional tort results, in the reasonable opinion of
   the Company, in liability, loss, damage or injury to the Company, then, at
   the Company's election, Participant's Options shall not be exercisable and
   shall expire upon the Participant's Termination Date. Termination by the
   Company based on a Participant's alleged commitment of a criminal act or an
   intentional tort shall be based on a reasonable investigation of the facts
   and a determination by the Company that a preponderance of the evidence
   discovered in such investigation indicates that such Participant is guilty of
   such criminal act or intentional tort.

   5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum
number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided
that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option
for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.

   5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the
first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or under
any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate, Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company) will not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market Value of
Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the
first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the
Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to become exercisable in such
calendar year will be ISOs and the Options for the

                                       3
<PAGE>

amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will
be NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder
are amended after the Effective Date of this Plan to provide for a different
limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such
different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any
Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

   5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or
renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution
therefor, provided that (a) any such action may not, without the written consent
of a Participant, impair any of such Participant's rights under any Option
previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or
otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code;
and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in the Plan, the
Company will not reprice Options issued under the Plan by lowering the Exercise
Price of a previously granted Award, by canceling outstanding Options and
issuing replacements, or by otherwise replacing existing Options with substitute
Options with a lower Exercise Price, without prior approval of the Company's
stockholders.

   5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan,
no term of this Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered,
nor will any discretion or authority granted under this Plan be exercised, so as
to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of
the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

   6. Formula for Non-Employee Director Option Grants and Vesting.

   6.1 Grant of Formula Option. Options shall be granted to non-employee
directors of the Company or any Affiliate ("non-employee directors") during the
term of this Plan as follows: (i) to the extent that a stock option has not
already been granted to a non-employee director during the fiscal year of the
Company in which such director becomes a director, a NQSO to purchase 20,000
shares will automatically be granted to such director upon such director's
joining the Board, (ii) a NQSO to purchase 10,000 shares will be granted to each
non-employee director, other than a non-employee director acting as the Chairman
of the Board at the first Board meeting following the first day of each fiscal
year of the Company, provided that no such grant shall be made to a director
within six months of the initial grant to such director, and (iii) a NQSO to
purchase 20,000 shares will be granted each year to the non-employee director
acting as the Chairman of the Board at the first Board meeting following the
first day of each fiscal year of the Company, provided, that no such grant shall
be made to a director within six months of the initial grant to such director.
Only non-employee directors who are neither an employee of the Company nor the
holder of more than one percent of the Shares or a representative of any such
stockholder shall be eligible for a formula option grant.

   6.2 Exercise Period For Formula Options. A non-employee director may exercise
a granted option in whole or in part for any Vested Shares, as determined in
accordance with Section 6.3 hereof; provided, however, that the option shall
expire and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, or earlier
in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.

   6.3 Vesting of Formula Options. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares shall
vest on the First Vesting Date, as specified in the Stock Option Grant, with the
remaining Shares vesting at the rate of 2.0833% of the total Shares per month
over the subsequent three years (each a "Succeeding Vesting Date") provided that
the non-employee director provides services to the Company or a Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company on the First Vesting Date and on each
Succeeding Vesting Date thereafter. Shares that are vested pursuant to the
vesting schedule set forth in this Section 6.3 are "Vested Shares" and are
exercisable hereunder.

   7. Payment for Share Purchases.

   7.1 Payment. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made
in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the
Committee and where permitted by law:

      (a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;

      (b) by surrender of shares that either: (1) have been owned by Participant
   for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the meaning of SEC
   Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company

                                       4
<PAGE>

   by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to
   such shares); or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public market;

      (c) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as may
   be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to
   avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code; provided,
   however, that Participants who are not employees or directors of the Company
   will not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless the
   note is adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares; provided,
   further, that the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the par value of the
   Shares, if any, must be paid in cash;

      (d) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for
   services rendered; provided, further, that the portion of the Purchase Price
   equal to the par value of the Shares, if any, must be paid in cash;

      (e) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and
   provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists:

          (1) through a "same day sale" commitment from the Participant and a
      broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities
      Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to
      exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to
      pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
      commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly
      to the Company; or

          (2) through a "margin" commitment from the Participant and an NASD
      Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option
      and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin
      account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
      Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
      receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
      Company; or

  (f) by any combination of the foregoing.

   7.2 Loan Guarantees. The Committee may help the Participant pay for Shares
purchased under this Plan by authorizing a guarantee by the Company of a
third-party loan to the Participant, provided the Company has full recourse to
the Participant relative to the guarantee.

   8. Withholding Taxes.

   8.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction
of Awards granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant to
remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or
certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments in
satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment will be net of an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements.

   8.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs
tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Award that is
subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company
the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may allow the Participant to
satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company
withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market
Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").
All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be
made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

   9. Privileges of Stock Ownership.

   9.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant will have any of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the
Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant will be
a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such
Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other
distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that if such
Shares

                                       5
<PAGE>

are restricted stock, then any new, additional or different securities the
Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue
of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital
structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as the
restricted stock; provided, further, that the Participant will have no right to
retain such stock dividends or stock distributions with respect to Shares that
are repurchased at the Participant's original Purchase Price pursuant to Section
11.

   9.2 Financial Statements. The Company will provide financial statements to
each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of Shares under this Plan,
and to each Participant annually during the period such Participant has Awards
outstanding; provided, however, the Company will not be required to provide such
financial statements to Participants whose services in connection with the
Company assure them access to equivalent information.

   10. Transferability. Awards granted under this Plan, and any interest
therein, will not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be
made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific
Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of the
Participant an Award will be exercisable only by the Participant, and any
elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.

   11. Restrictions on Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company
may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to
repurchase a portion of or all Shares that are not vested held by a Participant
following such Participant's Termination at any time within ninety (90) days
after the later of Participant's Termination Date and the date Participant
purchases Shares under this Plan, for cash and/or cancellation of purchase money
indebtedness, at the Participant's original Purchase Price.

   12. Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered
under this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other
restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including
restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or
any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange
or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

   13. Escrow; Pledge of Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant's
Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates
representing Shares, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer
approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or
an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions
have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Participant
who is permitted to execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration
for the purchase of Shares under this Plan will be required to pledge and
deposit with the Company all or part of the Shares so purchased as collateral to
secure the payment of Participant's obligation to the Company under the
promissory note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or accept
other or additional forms of collateral to secure the payment of such obligation
and, in any event, the Company will have full recourse against the Participant
under the promissory note notwithstanding any pledge of the Participant's Shares
or other collateral. In connection with any pledge of the Shares, Participant
will be required to execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form
as the Committee will from time to time approve. The Shares purchased with the
promissory note may be released from the pledge on a pro rata basis as the
promissory note is paid.

   14. Exchange and Buyout of Awards. The Committee may, at any time or from
time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective
Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation
of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy from a
Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including
restricted stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as
the Committee and the Participant may agree.

   15. Securities Law and Other Regulatory Compliance. An Award will not be
effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Shares may then be listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant
of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Plan, the Company will have no obligation to issue
or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to: (a) obtaining any
approvals from governmental agencies that the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company determines are necessary or advisable; and/or (b) completion of any
registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal
law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be
necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to register the
Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification
or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or
automated quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any
inability or failure to do so.

   16. No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in this Plan or any Award granted under
this Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to
continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any
way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company to terminate Participant's employment or other relationship at any time,
with or without cause.

   17. Corporate Transactions.

   17.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. In the event of (a) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or
consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company
in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no
substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock
holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or
replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all
Participants), (c) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation
but after which the stockholders of the Company (other than any stockholder
which merges (or which owns or controls another corporation which merges) with
the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interests
in the Company, (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company,
or (e) any other transaction which qualifies as a "corporate transaction" under
Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the stockholders of the Company give up all
of their equity interest in the Company (except for the acquisition, sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company
from or by the stockholders of the Company), any or all outstanding Awards may
be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which
assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on all Participants, or
the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide
substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to
stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards);
provided that all formula option grants, pursuant to Section 6, shall accelerate
and be fully vested upon such merger, consolidation or corporate transaction. In
the event such successor corporation (if any) fails to assume or substitute
Options pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 17.1, all Options
will expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board
shall determine.

   17.2 Other Treatment of Awards. Subject to any greater rights granted to
Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 17, in the event of
the occurrence of any transaction described in Section 17.1, any outstanding
Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of
merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or other
"corporate transaction."

   17.3 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time,
also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company,
whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by
either; (a) granting an Award under this Plan in substitution of such other
company's award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under this
Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted
under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the
holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be
granted an Award under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of
this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by
another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged
(except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable
upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to
Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new
Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted
with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

   18. Adoption and Stockholder Approval. This Plan will become effective on the
date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date"). This Plan shall be
approved by the stockholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to
this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or
after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board may grant Awards
pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be exercised
prior to initial stockholder approval of this Plan; (b) no Option granted
pursuant to an

                                       7

increase in the number of Shares subject to this Plan approved by the Board will
be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the
stockholders of the Company; and (c) in the event that stockholder approval of
this Plan or any amendment increasing the number of Shares subject to this Plan
is not obtained, all Awards granted hereunder will be canceled, any Shares
issued pursuant to any Award will be canceled, and any purchase of Shares
hereunder will be rescinded.

   19. Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this Plan
will terminate ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted by the Board
or, if earlier, the date of stockholder approval.

   20. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may at any time terminate or
amend this Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of
Section 6 of this Plan; provided, however, that the Board will not, without the
approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend this Plan to increase the
number of shares that may be issued under this Plan, or change the designation
of employees or class of employees eligible for participation in this Plan.

   21. Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the
Board, the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for
approval, nor any provision of this Plan will be construed as creating any
limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under this Plan, and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
