                          ANADYS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
                           2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
              (INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION OR NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION)

         Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice ("GRANT NOTICE") and this
Stock Option Agreement, Anadys Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "COMPANY") has granted
you an option under its 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "PLAN") to purchase the
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated in your Grant Notice at
the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms not explicitly
defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the
same definitions as in the Plan.

         The details of your option are as follows:

         1.       VESTING. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your
option will vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will
cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service.

         2.       NUMBER OF SHARES AND EXERCISE PRICE. The number of shares of
Common Stock subject to your option and your exercise price per share referenced
in your Grant Notice may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization
Adjustments.

         3.       METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the exercise price is due in
full upon exercise of all or any part of your option. You may elect to make
payment of the exercise price in cash or by check or in any other manner
PERMITTED BY YOUR GRANT NOTICE, which may include one or more of the following:

                  (a)      In the Company's sole discretion at the time your
option is exercised and provided that at the time of exercise the Common Stock
is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, pursuant to
a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt
of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to
pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds.

                  (b)      Provided that at the time of exercise the Common
Stock is publicly traded and quoted regularly in The Wall Street Journal, by
delivery of already-owned shares of Common Stock either that you have held for
the period required to avoid a charge to the Company's reported earnings
(generally six (6) months) or that you did not acquire, directly or indirectly
from the Company, that are owned free and clear of any liens, claims,
encumbrances or security interests, and that are valued at Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise. "Delivery" for these purposes, in the sole discretion of
the Company at the time you exercise your option, shall include delivery to the
Company of your attestation of ownership of such shares of Common Stock in a
form approved by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not
exercise your option by tender to the Company of Common Stock to the extent such
tender

                                       1.

<PAGE>

would violate the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the
redemption of the Company's stock.

         4.       WHOLE SHARES. You may exercise your option only for whole
shares of Common Stock.

         5.       SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such exercise are then registered under the
Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not then so registered,
the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option
also must comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing your
option, and you may not exercise your option if the Company determines that such
exercise would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

         6.       TERM. You may not exercise your option before the commencement
of its term or after its term expires. The term of your option commences on the
Date of Grant and expires upon the earliest of the following:

                  (a)      immediately upon the termination of your Continuous
Service for Cause (as defined in the Plan);

                  (b)      three (3) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death,
provided that if during any part of such three- (3-) month period you may not
exercise your option solely because of the condition set forth in the preceding
paragraph relating to "Securities Law Compliance," your option shall not expire
until the earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable
for an aggregate period of three (3) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service;

                  (c)      twelve (12) months after the termination of your
Continuous Service due to your Disability;

                  (d)      eighteen (18) months after your death if you die
either during your Continuous Service or within three (3) months after your
Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than Cause;

                  (e)      the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice;

or

                  (f)      the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Date of Grant.

         If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, note that to obtain the
federal income tax advantages associated with an Incentive Stock Option, the
Code requires that at all times beginning on the date of grant of your option
and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of your option's
exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in the
event of your death or your permanent and total disability, as defined in
Section 22(e) of the Code. (The definition of disability in Section 22(e) of the
Code is different from the definition of the Disability under the Plan). The
Company has provided for extended exercisability of your option under certain
circumstances for your benefit but cannot guarantee

                                       2.

<PAGE>

that your option will necessarily be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if you
continue to provide services to the Company or an Affiliate as a Consultant or
Director after your employment terminates or if you otherwise exercise your
option more than three (3) months after the date your employment with the
Company or an Affiliate terminates.

         7.       EXERCISE.

                  (a)      You may exercise the vested portion of your option
(and the unvested portion of your option if your Grant Notice so permits) during
its term by delivering a Notice of Exercise (in a form designated by the
Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary of the Company, or to
such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business hours,
together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.

                  (b)      By exercising your option you agree that, as a
condition to any exercise of your option, the Company may require you to enter
into an arrangement providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax
withholding obligation of the Company arising by reason of (1) the exercise of
your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of forfeiture to which the
shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the
disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.

                  (c)      If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, by
exercising your option you agree that you will notify the Company in writing
within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of any of the shares
of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option that occurs within two
(2) years after the date of your option grant or within one (1) year after such
shares of Common Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option.

         8.       TRANSFERABILITY.

                  (a)      If your option is an Incentive Stock Option, your
option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form
satisfactory to the Company, you may designate a third party who, in the event
of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise your option.

                  (b)      If your option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, your
option is not transferable, except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, (ii) with the prior written approval of the Company, by instrument
to an inter vivos or testamentary trust, in a form accepted by the Company, in
which the option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor
(settlor) and (iii) with the prior written approval of the Company, by gift, in
a form accepted by the Company, to a permitted transferee under Rule 701 of the
Securities Act.

         9.       OPTION NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your option is not an
employment or service contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to
create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the
employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an Affiliate to
continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the
Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors,
Officers or Employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a
Director or Consultant for the Company or an Affiliate.

                                       3.

         10.      WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in
part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby
authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and
otherwise agree to make adequate provision for (including by means of a
"cashless exercise" pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board to the extent permitted by the
Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in
connection with the exercise of your option.

                  (b)      Upon your request and subject to approval by the
Company, in its sole discretion, and compliance with any applicable legal
conditions or restrictions, the Company may withhold from fully vested shares of
Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a number
of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the
Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax
required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to
avoid variable award accounting). If the date of determination of any tax
withholding obligation is deferred to a date later than the date of exercise of
your option, share withholding pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be
permitted unless you make a proper and timely election under Section 83(b) of
the Code, covering the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock acquired upon
such exercise with respect to which such determination is otherwise deferred, to
accelerate the determination of such tax withholding obligation to the date of
exercise of your option. Notwithstanding the filing of such election, shares of
Common Stock shall be withheld solely from fully vested shares of Common Stock
determined as of the date of exercise of your option that are otherwise issuable
to you upon such exercise. Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection
with such share withholding procedure shall be your sole responsibility.

                  (c)      You may not exercise your option unless the tax
withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate are satisfied.
Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when desired even
though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue
a certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common
Stock from any escrow provided for herein unless such obligations are satisfied.

         11.      NOTICES. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan
shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or,
in the case of notices delivered by mail by the Company to you, five (5) days
after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at
the last address you provided to the Company.

         12.      GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT. Your option is subject to all the
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your
option, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and
regulations, which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to
the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option and
those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

<PAGE>

                  (i)      To determine when and how Purchase Rights to purchase

5.       GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHTS; OFFERING.

         (a)      The Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant
of Purchase Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan to Eligible
Employees in an Offering (consisting of one or more Purchase Periods) on an
Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering shall be in
such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem
appropriate, which shall comply with the requirement of Section 423(b)(5) of the
Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights shall have the same rights and
privileges. The terms and conditions of an Offering shall be incorporated by
reference into the Plan and treated as part of the Plan. The provisions of
separate Offerings need not be identical, but each Offering shall include
(through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the
document comprising the Offering or otherwise) the period during which the
Offering shall be effective, which period shall not exceed twenty-seven (27)
months beginning with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions
contained in Sections 6 through 9, inclusive.

         (b)      If a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding
under the Plan, unless he or she otherwise indicates in agreements or notices
delivered hereunder: (i) each agreement or notice delivered by that Participant
shall be deemed to apply to all of his or her Purchase Rights under the Plan,
and (ii) a Purchase Right with a lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted
Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices)
shall be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a Purchase Right with a
higher exercise price (or a later-granted Purchase Right if different Purchase
Rights have identical exercise prices) shall be exercised.

6.       ELIGIBILITY.

         (a)      Purchase Rights may be granted only to Employees of the
Company or, as the Board may designate as provided in Section 3(b), to Employees
of a Related Corporation. Except as provided in Section 6(b), an Employee shall
not be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan unless, on the
Offering Date, such Employee has been in the employ of the Company or the
Related Corporation, as the case may be, for such continuous period preceding
such Offering Date as the Board may require, but in no event shall the required
period of continuous employment be greater than two (2) years. In addition, the
Board may provide that no Employee shall be eligible to be granted Purchase
Rights under the Plan unless, on the Offering Date, such Employee's customary
employment with the Company or the Related Corporation is more than fifteen (15)
hours per week and/or more than five (5) months per calendar year.

         (b)      The Board may provide that each person who, during the course
of an Offering, first becomes an Eligible Employee shall, on a date or dates
specified in the Offering which coincides with the day on which such person
becomes an Eligible Employee or which occurs thereafter, receive a Purchase
Right under that Offering, which Purchase Right shall thereafter be deemed to be
a part of that Offering. Such Purchase Right shall have the same characteristics
as any Purchase Rights originally granted under that Offering, as described
herein, except that:

                                       5

<PAGE>

                  (i)      the date on which such Purchase Right is granted
shall be the "Offering Date" of such Purchase Right for all purposes, including
determination of the exercise price of such Purchase Right;

                  (ii)     the period of the Offering with respect to such
Purchase Right shall begin on its Offering Date and end coincident with the end
of such Offering; and

                  (iii)    the Board may provide that if such person first
becomes an Eligible Employee within a specified period of time before the end of
the Offering, he or she shall not receive any Purchase Right under that
Offering.

         (c)      No Employee shall be eligible for the grant of any Purchase
Rights under the Plan if, immediately after any such Purchase Rights are
granted, such Employee owns stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or
of any Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 6(c), the rules of
Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of any
Employee, and stock which such Employee may purchase under all outstanding
Purchase Rights and options shall be treated as stock owned by such Employee.

         (d)      As specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible
Employee may be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan only if such Purchase
Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase
Plans of the Company and any Related Corporations, do not permit such Eligible
Employee's rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation to
accrue at a rate which exceeds twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) of Fair
Market Value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted, and
which, with respect to the Plan, shall be determined as of their respective
Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at
any time.

         (e)      Officers of the Company and any designated Related
Corporation, if they are otherwise Eligible Employees, shall be eligible to
participate in Offerings under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board may provide in an Offering that Employees who are highly compensated
Employees within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code shall not be
eligible to participate.

7.       PURCHASE RIGHTS; PURCHASE PRICE.

         (a)      On each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee, pursuant to an
Offering made under the Plan, shall be granted a Purchase Right to purchase up
to that number of shares of Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage or
with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Board, but in either case not
exceeding fifteen percent (15%), of such Employee's Earnings (as defined by the
Board in each Offering) during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or
such later date as the Board determines for a particular Offering) and ends on
the date stated in the Offering, which date shall be no later than the end of
the Offering.

                                       6

<PAGE>

         (b)      The Board shall establish one (1) or more Purchase Dates
during an Offering as of which Purchase Rights granted pursuant to that Offering
shall be exercised and purchases of shares of Common Stock shall be carried out
in accordance with such Offering.

         (c)      In connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the
Board may specify a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
purchased by any Participant on any Purchase Date during such Offering. In
connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify a
maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all
Participants pursuant to such Offering. In addition, in connection with each
Offering that contains more than one Purchase Date, the Board may specify a
maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all
Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Purchase Rights granted
under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the
absence of any Board action otherwise, a pro rata allocation of the shares of
Common Stock available shall be made in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be
practicable and equitable.

         (d)      The purchase price of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant
to Purchase Rights shall be not less than the lesser of:

                  (i)      an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or

                  (ii)     an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the
Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date.

8.       PARTICIPATION; WITHDRAWAL; TERMINATION.

         (a)      A Participant may elect to authorize payroll deductions
pursuant to an Offering under the Plan by completing and delivering to the
Company, within the time specified in the Offering, an enrollment form (in such
form as the Company may provide). Each such enrollment form shall authorize an
amount of Contributions expressed as a percentage of the submitting
Participant's Earnings (as defined in each Offering) during the Offering (not to
exceed the maximum percentage specified by the Board). Each Participant's
Contributions shall remain the property of the Participant at all times prior to
the purchase of Common Stock, but such Contributions may be commingled with the
assets of the Company and used for general corporate purposes except where
applicable law requires that Contributions be deposited with an independent
third party. To the extent provided in the Offering, a Participant may begin
making Contributions after the beginning of the Offering. To the extent provided
in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including to zero) or
increase his or her Contributions. To the extent specifically provided in the
Offering, in addition to making Contributions by payroll deductions, a
Participant may make Contributions through the payment by cash or check prior to
each Purchase Date of the Offering.

                                       7

<PAGE>

         (b)      During an Offering, a Participant may cease making
Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company a
notice of withdrawal in such form as the Company may provide. Such withdrawal
may be elected at any time prior to the end of the Offering, except as provided
otherwise in the Offering. Upon such withdrawal from the Offering by a
Participant, the Company shall distribute to such Participant all of his or her
accumulated Contributions (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions
have been used to acquire shares of Common Stock for the Participant) under the
Offering, and such Participant's Purchase Right in that Offering shall thereupon
terminate. A Participant's withdrawal from an Offering shall have no effect upon
such Participant's eligibility to participate in any other Offerings under the
Plan, but such Participant shall be required to deliver a new enrollment form in
order to participate in subsequent Offerings.

         (c)      Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the
Plan shall terminate immediately upon a Participant ceasing to be an Employee
for any reason or for no reason (subject to any post-employment participation
period required by law) or other lack of eligibility. The Company shall
distribute to such terminated or otherwise ineligible Employee all of his or her
accumulated Contributions (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions
have been used to acquire shares of Common Stock for the terminated or otherwise
ineligible Employee) under the Offering.

         (d)      Purchase Rights shall not be transferable by a Participant
otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or a beneficiary
designation as provided in Section 13. During a Participant's lifetime, Purchase
Rights shall be exercisable only by such Participant.

         (e)      Unless otherwise specified in an Offering, the Company shall
have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions.

9.       EXERCISE.

         (a)      On each Purchase Date during an Offering, each Participant's
accumulated Contributions shall be applied to the purchase of shares of Common
Stock up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted pursuant to
the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price
specified in the Offering. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the
exercise of Purchase Rights unless specifically provided for in the Offering.

         (b)      If any amount of accumulated Contributions remains in a
Participant's account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock and such
remaining amount is less than the amount required to purchase one share of
Common Stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering, then such remaining
amount shall be held in such Participant's account for the purchase of shares of
Common Stock under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such Participant
withdraws from such next Offering, as provided in Section 8(b), or is not
eligible to participate in such Offering, as provided in Section 6, in which
case such amount shall be distributed to such Participant after the final
Purchase Date, without interest. If the amount of Contributions remaining in a
Participant's account after the purchase of shares of Common Stock is at least
equal to the amount required to purchase one (1) whole share of Common Stock on
the

                                       8

<PAGE>

final Purchase Date of the Offering, then such remaining amount shall be
distributed in full to such Participant at the end of the Offering.

         (c)      No Purchase Rights may be exercised to any extent unless the
shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan are
covered by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act
and the Plan is in material compliance with all laws applicable to the Plan. If
on a Purchase Date during any Offering hereunder the shares of Common Stock are
not so registered or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights or
any Offering shall be exercised on such Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date
shall be delayed until the shares of Common Stock are subject to such an
effective registration statement and the Plan is in such compliance, except that
the Purchase Date shall not be delayed more than twelve (12) months and the
Purchase Date shall in no event be more than twenty-seven (27) months from the
Offering Date. If, on the Purchase Date under any Offering hereunder, as delayed
to the maximum extent permissible, the shares of Common Stock are not registered
and the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights or any Offering shall
be exercised and all Contributions accumulated during the Offering (reduced to
the extent, if any, such Contributions have been used to acquire shares of
Common Stock) shall be distributed to the Participants.

10.      COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

         The Company shall seek to obtain from each federal, state, foreign or
other regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such
authority as may be required to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Purchase Rights. If, after commercially reasonable efforts, the
Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the
authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance
and sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved
from any liability for failure to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of such Purchase Rights unless and until such authority is obtained.

11.      USE OF PROCEEDS FROM SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

         Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Purchase
Rights shall constitute general funds of the Company.

12.      RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.

         A Participant shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any
of the rights of a holder with respect to, shares of Common Stock subject to
Purchase Rights unless and until the Participant's shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of Purchase Rights are recorded in the books of the
Company (or its transfer agent).

13.      DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

         (a)      A Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary
who is to receive any shares of Common Stock and/or cash, if any, from the
Participant's account under the Plan in the

                                       9

<PAGE>

event of such Participant's death subsequent to the end of an Offering but prior
to delivery to the Participant of such shares of Common Stock or cash. In
addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the Participant's account under the Plan in the event
of such Participant's death during an Offering. Any such designation shall be on
a form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Company.

         (b)      The Participant may change such designation of beneficiary at
any time by written notice to the Company. In the event of the death of a
Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such Participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the executor or administrator
of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has
been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole
discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the spouse or
to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse,
dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the
Company may designate.

14.      ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN SECURITIES; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

         (a)      If any change is made in the shares of Common Stock, subject
to the Plan, or subject to any Purchase Right, without the receipt of
consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other
than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the
receipt of consideration by the Company), the Plan shall be appropriately
adjusted in the type(s), class(es) and maximum number of shares of Common Stock
subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a), and the outstanding Purchase
Rights shall be appropriately adjusted in the type(s), class(es), number of
shares and purchase limits of such outstanding Purchase Rights. The Board shall
make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be treated as a "transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by
the Company.")

         (b)      In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any
surviving or acquiring corporation may continue or assume Purchase Rights
outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar rights (including a right
to acquire the same consideration paid to stockholders in the Corporate
Transaction) for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) if any surviving or
acquiring corporation does not continue or assume such Purchase Rights or does
not substitute similar rights for Purchase Rights outstanding under the Plan,
then, the Participants' accumulated Contributions shall be used to purchase
shares of Common Stock within ten (10) business days prior to the Corporate
Transaction under the ongoing Offering, and the Participants' Purchase Rights
under the ongoing Offering shall terminate immediately after such purchase.

15.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

         (a)      The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the
Plan. However, except as provided in Section 14 relating to adjustments upon
changes in securities and except as

                                       10

<PAGE>

to amendments solely to benefit the administration of the Plan, to take account
of a change in legislation or to obtain or maintain favorable tax, exchange
control or regulatory treatment for Participants or the Company or any Related
Corporation, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders
of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary for the Plan to
satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code or other applicable laws or
regulations.

         (b)      It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan
in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide Employees with
the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code
and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase
Plans or to bring the Plan and/or Purchase Rights into compliance therewith.

         (c)      The rights and obligations under any Purchase Rights granted
before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan
except: (i) with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were
granted, or (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws or governmental
regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans).

16.      TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

         (a)      The Board in its discretion may suspend or terminate the Plan
at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate at the time that
all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, as
increased and/or adjusted from time to time, have been issued under the terms of
the Plan. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is
suspended or after it is terminated.

         (b)      Any benefits, privileges, entitlements and obligations under
any Purchase Rights while the Plan is in effect shall not be impaired by
suspension or termination of the Plan except (i) as expressly provided in the
Plan or with the consent of the person to whom such Purchase Rights were
granted, (ii) as necessary to comply with any laws, regulations, or listing
requirements, or (iii) as necessary to ensure that the Plan and/or Purchase
Rights comply with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

17.      EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

                  The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board,
but no Purchase Rights shall be exercised unless and until the Plan has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

18.      MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         (a)      The Plan and Offering do not constitute an employment
contract. Nothing in the Plan or in the Offering shall in any way alter the at
will nature of a Participant's employment or be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Participant to

                                       11

<PAGE>

continue in the employ of the Company or a Related Corporation, or on the part
of the Company or a Related Corporation to continue the employment of a
Participant.

         (b)      The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without resort to that state's conflicts of laws rules.
