determine all matters relating to Awards under the Plan, including the selection
of individuals to be granted Awards, the type of Awards, the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to an Award, all terms, conditions, restrictions and
limitations, if any, of an Award and the terms of any instrument that evidences
the Award. The Plan Administrator shall also have exclusive authority to
interpret the Plan and may from time to time adopt, and change, rules and
regulations of general application for the Plan's administration. The Plan
Administrator's interpretation of the Plan and its rules and regulations, and
all actions taken and determinations made by the Plan Administrator pursuant to
the Plan, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties involved or affected.
The Plan Administrator may delegate administrative duties to such of the
Company's officers as it so determines.

                      SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1  Authorized Number of Shares

     Subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 10.1, a

unissued shares or shares now held or subsequently acquired by the Company.

     Any shares of Common Stock that have been made subject to an Award that

                                SECTION 6. AWARDS

<PAGE>

6.2  Settlement of Awards

     The Company may settle Awards through the delivery of shares of Common
Stock, cash payments, the granting of replacement Awards or any combination
thereof as the Plan Administrator shall determine. Any Award settlement,
including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and
contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. The Plan Administrator
may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to such rules
and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment
or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such
credits into deferred stock equivalents. The Plan Administrator may at any time
offer to buy out, for a payment in cash or Common Stock, an Award previously
granted based on such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall
establish and communicate to the Participant at the time such offer is made.

6.3  Acquired Company Awards

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan
Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for awards issued
under other plans, or assume under the Plan awards issued under other plans, if
the other plans are or were plans of other acquired entities ("Acquired
Entities") (or the parent of the Acquired Entity) and the new Award is
substituted, or the old award is assumed, by reason of a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or of stock, reorganization or liquidation (the
"Acquisition Transaction"). In the event that a written agreement pursuant to
which the Acquisition Transaction is completed is approved by the Board and said
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the substitution for or
assumption of outstanding awards of the Acquired Entity, said terms and
conditions shall be deemed to be the action of the Plan Administrator without
any further action by the Plan Administrator, except as may be required for
compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the persons holding such
awards shall be deemed to be Participants.

                   SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

7.1  Grant of Options

     The Plan Administrator is authorized under the Plan, in its sole
discretion, to issue Options solely as Nonqualified Stock Options.

determined by the Plan Administrator.

                                       6

<PAGE>

7.4  Exercise of Options

     The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument
that evidences an Option the time at which or the installments in which the
Option shall vest and become exercisable, which provisions may be waived or
modified by the Plan Administrator at any time. If not so established in the
instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall vest and become exercisable
according to the following schedule, which may be waived or modified by the Plan
Administrator at any time:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
  Period of Participant's Continuous Employment
 or Service With the Company or Its Subsidiaries                  Percent of Total Option
               From the Grant Date                             That Is Vested and Exercisable
               -------------------                             ------------------------------
<S>                                                            <C>
                  After 1 year                                             20%

             Each quarter thereafter                                an additional 6.66%

                  After 4 years                                           100%
</TABLE>

     To the extent that the right to purchase shares has accrued thereunder, an
Option may be exercised from time to time by written notice to the Company, in
accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator, setting forth
the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and
accompanied by payment in full as described in Section 7.5. The Plan
Administrator may determine at any time that an Option may not be exercised as
to less than 100 shares at any one time (or the lesser number of remaining
shares covered by the Option).

7.5  Payment of Exercise Price

     The exercise price for shares purchased under an Option shall be paid in
full to the Company by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the
Option exercise price and the number of shares purchased. Such consideration
must be paid in cash or by check or, unless the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion determines otherwise, either at the time the Option is granted or at
any time before it is exercised, a combination of cash and/or check (if any) and
one or both of the following alternative forms: (a) tendering (either actually
or, if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or
12(g) of the Exchange Act, by attestation) Common Stock already owned by the
Participant for at least six months (or any shorter period necessary to avoid a
charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes) having a Fair
Market Value on the day prior to the exercise date equal to the aggregate Option
exercise price or (b) if and so long as the Common Stock is registered under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, delivery of a properly executed
exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to (i) a brokerage firm
designated by the Company to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate
amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the Option exercise price and any
withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise and
(ii) the Company to deliver the certificates for such purchased shares directly
to such brokerage firm, all in accordance with the regulations of the Federal
Reserve Board. In addition, the exercise price for shares purchased under an
Option may be paid, either singly or in combination with one or more

                                        7

<PAGE>

of the alternative forms of payment authorized by this Section 7.5, by such
other consideration as the Plan Administrator may permit.

7.6  Post-Termination Exercises

     The Plan Administrator shall establish and set forth in each instrument
that evidences an Option whether the Option shall continue to be exercisable,
and the terms and conditions of such exercise, if a Participant ceases to be
employed by, or to provide services to, the Company or its Subsidiaries, which
provisions may be waived or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time. If
not so established in the instrument evidencing the Option, the Option shall be
exercisable according to the following terms and conditions, which may be waived
or modified by the Plan Administrator at any time.

     In case of termination of the Participant's employment or services with the
Company other than by reason of death or Cause, the Option shall be exercisable,
to the extent of the number of shares purchasable by the Participant at the date
of such termination, only (a) within one year after the date of such termination
if the termination is coincident with Disability or (b) within three months
after the date of such termination if the termination is for any reason other
than Disability, but in no event later than the remaining term of the Option.
Any Option exercisable at the time of the Participant's death may be exercised,
to the extent of the number of shares purchasable by the Participant at the date
of the Participant's death, by the personal representative of the Participant's
estate, the person(s) to whom the Participant's rights under the Option have
passed by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the
beneficiary designated pursuant to Section 10 at any time or from time to time
within one year after the date of death, but in no event later than the
remaining term of the Option. Any portion of an Option that is not exercisable
on the date of termination of the Participant's employment or services shall
terminate on such date, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. In
case of termination of the Participant's employment or services for Cause, the
Option shall automatically terminate upon first notification to the Participant
of such termination, unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise. If a
Participant's employment or services with the Company are suspended pending an
investigation of whether the Participant shall be terminated for Cause, all the
Participant's rights under any Option likewise shall be suspended during the
period of investigation.

     A transfer of employment or services between or among the Company and its
Subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of employment or services.
The effect of a Company-approved leave of absence on the terms and conditions of
an Option shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion.

7.7  Forfeiture Conditions

     In case of (a) termination of the Participant's employment for Cause, (b)
the Participant's breach of such restrictive covenants (e.g., noncompetition and
confidentiality restrictions) as may apply to the Participant, or (c) the
Participant's having engaged in an activity that is detrimental to the Company
(including, without limitation, criminal activity or accepting employment or
serving as a consultant, advisor, or in any other capacity with a competitor of
the Company), the

                                        8

<PAGE>

Plan Administrator may impose conditions of forfeiture on a Participant's rights
with respect to an Option. Such conditions of forfeiture may include, in the
discretion of the Plan Administrator, (i) suspension or cancellation of the
Participant's right to exercise an Option (whether or not then otherwise
exercisable) or (ii) within the period of six months following the issuance of
shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award either (y) cancellation of the
shares so issued (and repayment to the Participant of the full purchase price,
if any, paid for such shares) or (z) requiring the Participant to pay to the
Company in cash an amount equal to the gain realized by the Participant upon
exercise of such Option (measured at the date of exercise) or the receipt of
such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7 shall be of no force
and effect in the event of a Corporate Transaction.

                             SECTION 8. STOCK AWARDS

8.1  Grant of Stock Awards

     The Plan Administrator is authorized to make Awards of Common Stock or
Awards denominated in units of Common Stock on such terms and conditions and
subject to such restrictions, if any (which may be based on continuous service
with the Company or the achievement of performance goals) as the Plan
Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which terms, conditions
and restrictions shall be set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award. The
terms, conditions and restrictions that the Plan Administrator shall have the
power to determine shall include, without limitation, the manner in which shares
subject to Stock Awards are held during the periods they are subject to
restrictions and the circumstances under which forfeiture of the Stock Award
shall occur by reason of termination of the Participant's employment or service
relationship.

8.2  Issuance of Shares

     Upon the satisfaction of any terms, conditions and restrictions prescribed
in respect to a Stock Award, or upon the Participant's release from any terms,
conditions and restrictions of a Stock Award, as determined by the Plan
Administrator, the Company shall release, as soon as practicable, to the
Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death, to the personal
representative of the Participant's estate or as the appropriate court directs,
the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock.

8.3  Waiver of Restrictions

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator
may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other terms,
conditions or restrictions on any Stock Award under such circumstances and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall deem
appropriate.

                            SECTION 9. ASSIGNABILITY

     Awards granted under the Plan may not be assigned, pledged or transferred
by the Participant other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and
distribution, and, during the Participant's lifetime, such Awards may be
exercised only by the Participant or a permitted

                                       9

<PAGE>

assignee or transferee of the Participant (as provided below). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit such
assignment, transfer and exercisability and may permit a Participant to
designate a beneficiary who may exercise the Award or receive compensation under
the Award after the Participant's death; provided, however, that any Award so
assigned or transferred shall be subject to all the same terms and conditions
contained in the instrument evidencing the Award.

                             SECTION 10. ADJUSTMENTS

10.1 Adjustment of Shares

     In the event that, at any time or from time to time, a stock dividend,
stock split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization,
merger, consolidation, distribution to shareholders other than a normal cash
dividend, or other change in the Company's corporate or capital structure
results in (a) the outstanding shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or
received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or class of
securities of the Company or of any other corporation or (b) new, different or
additional securities of the Company or of any other corporation being received
by the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company, then the Plan
Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and
kind of securities subject to the Plan as set forth in Section 4.1 and (ii) the
number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding Award and the
per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to
be paid therefor. The determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of
any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Corporate Transaction shall not be governed by
this Section 10.1 but shall be governed by Section 10.2.

10.2 Corporate Transaction

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in the instrument that evidences the
Option, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, each Option that is at the
time outstanding shall automatically accelerate so that each such Option shall,
immediately prior to the specified effective date for the Corporate Transaction,
become 100% vested and exercisable.

     (b) Such Option shall not so accelerate, however, if and to the extent that
such Option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be
assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof (the "Successor
Corporation") or to be replaced with a comparable award for the purchase of
shares of the capital stock of the Successor Corporation. The determination of
Option comparability shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and its
determination shall be conclusive and binding. Any such Options granted to an
"executive officer" (as that term is defined for purposes of Section 16 of the
Exchange Act) of the Company that are assumed or replaced in the Corporate
Transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall be accelerated in
the event that the Participant's employment or services subsequently terminate
within two years following such Corporate Transaction, unless such employment or
services are terminated by the Successor Corporation for Cause or by the
Participant voluntarily without Good Reason. Such acceleration shall not occur
if, in the opinion of the Company's

                                       10

<PAGE>

outside accountants, it would render unavailable "pooling of interest"
accounting for a Corporate Transaction that would otherwise qualify for such
accounting treatment.

     (c) All such Options shall terminate and cease to remain outstanding
immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, except to
the extent assumed by the Successor Corporation.

10.3 Further Adjustment of Options

     Subject to Section 10.2, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion,
exercisable at any time before a sale, merger, consolidation, reorganization,
liquidation or change in control of the Company, as defined by the Plan
Administrator, to take such further action as it determines to be necessary or
advisable, and fair and equitable to Participants, with respect to Awards. Such
authorized action may include (but shall not be limited to) establishing,
amending or waiving the type, terms, conditions or duration of, or restrictions
on, Options so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional time for
exercise and other modifications, and the Plan Administrator may take such
actions with respect to all Participants, to certain categories of Participants
or only to individual Participants. The Plan Administrator may take such action
before or after granting Awards to which the action relates and before or after
any public announcement with respect to such sale, merger, consolidation,
reorganization, liquidation or change in control that is the reason for such
action.

10.4 Limitations

     The grant of Awards shall in no way affect the Company's right to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or
to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
of its business or assets.

                             SECTION 11. WITHHOLDING

     The Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of
any withholding taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to
the grant, vesting or exercise of any Award. Subject to the Plan and applicable
law, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant
to satisfy withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by paying cash, by
electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock or by transferring
shares of Common Stock to the Company, in such amounts as are equivalent to the
Fair Market Value of the withholding obligation. The Company shall have the
right to withhold from any Award or any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to an Award or from any cash amounts otherwise due or to become due from the
Company to the Participant an amount equal to such taxes. The Company may also
deduct from any Award any other amounts due from the Participant to the Company
or a Subsidiary.

                 SECTION 12. REPURCHASE AND FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS

12.1 Repurchase Rights

     The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to authorize the issuance
of unvested shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option. Should
the Participant cease to be employed by or provide services to the Company, then
all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an Option which are unvested
at the time of cessation of employment or services shall be subject to
repurchase at the exercise price paid for such shares. The terms and conditions
upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and
procedure for exercise) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set
forth in the agreement evidencing such right.

     All of the Company's outstanding repurchase rights under this Section 12.1
are assignable by the Company at any time. Such rights shall automatically
terminate, and all shares subject to such terminated rights shall immediately
vest in full, upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, except to the
extent: (a) any such repurchase right is expressly assigned to the Successor
Corporation in connection with the Corporate Transaction or (b) such termination
is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time
the repurchase right is issued.

     The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable
either before or after the Participant's cessation of employment or services, to
cancel the Company's outstanding repurchase rights with respect to one or more
shares purchased or purchasable by the Participant under an Option and thereby
accelerate the vesting of such shares in whole or in part at any time.

12.2 First Refusal Rights

     Until the date on which the initial registration of the Common Stock under
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act first becomes effective, the Company
shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed sale or other
disposition by the holder of any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an
Award granted under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable
in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the agreement evidencing such right.

                           SECTION 13. MARKET STANDOFF

     In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its
equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public offering, a person
shall not sell, or make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any
option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of transfer for value or
otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to,
any shares issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan without the prior
written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such limitations shall be in
effect for such period of time as may be requested by the Company or such
underwriters and agreed to by the Company's officers and directors with respect
to their shares; provided, however, that in no event shall such period exceed
180 days. The limitations of this paragraph shall in all events terminate two
years after

                                       12

<PAGE>

the effective date of the Company's initial public offering. Holders of shares
issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to the
market standoff provisions of this paragraph only if the officers and directors
of the Company are also subject to similar arrangements.

     In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
Company's outstanding Common Stock effected as a class without the Company's
receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities
distributed with respect to the purchased shares shall be immediately subject to
the provisions of this Section 13, to the same extent the purchased shares are
at such time covered by such provisions. In order to enforce the limitations of
this Section 13, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect
to the purchased shares until the end of the applicable standoff period.

                  SECTION 14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

14.1 Amendment of Plan

     The Plan may be amended only by the Board in such respects as it shall deem
advisable.

14.2 Termination of Plan

     The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. The Plan shall
have no fixed expiration date. The Plan shall terminate when all stock options
outstanding as of December 11, 2002 have been exercised or have terminated or
expired according to their terms.

14.3 Consent of Participant

     The amendment or termination of the Plan or the amendment of an outstanding
Award shall not, without the consent of the Participant, impair or diminish any
rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan;
provided, however, that adjustments made pursuant to Section 10 shall not be
subject to these restrictions.

                        SECTION 15. FOREIGN PARTICIPATION

     To the extent the Plan Administrator deems it necessary, appropriate or
desirable to comply with foreign law or practice and to further the purpose of
this Plan, the Plan Administrator may, without amending this Plan, (a) establish
special rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants who are foreign
nationals, are employed outside the United States, or both, including rules that
differ from those set forth in this Plan, and (b) grant Awards to such
Participants in accordance with those rules.

                                       13

<PAGE>

                               SECTION 16. GENERAL

16.1 Evidence of Awards

     Awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument
that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions as the
Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the
Plan.

16.2 Continued Employment or Services; Rights in Awards

     None of the Plan, participation in the Plan or any action of the Plan
Administrator taken under the Plan shall be construed as giving any person any
right to be retained in the employ of the Company or limit the Company's right
to terminate the employment or services of any person.

16.3 Registration

     The Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for
offering or resale or to qualify for exemption under the Securities Act, or to
register or qualify under state securities laws, any shares of Common Stock,
security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the
Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if made.
The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends and subject to
such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions as counsel for the
Company deems necessary or desirable for compliance by the Company with federal
and state securities laws.

     Inability of the Company to obtain, from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction, the authority deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary for
the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder or the unavailability of an
exemption from registration for the issuance and sale of any shares hereunder
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the nonissuance or sale
of such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.

     As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the receipt of Common Stock
pursuant to an Award under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that such
shares are being purchased or received only for the Participant's own account
and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any
relevant provision of the aforementioned laws. At the option of the Company, a
stop-transfer order against any such shares may be placed on the official stock
books and records of the Company, and a legend indicating that such shares may
not be pledged, sold or otherwise transferred, unless an opinion of counsel is
provided (concurred in by counsel for the Company) stating that such transfer is
not in violation of any applicable law or regulation, may be stamped on stock
certificates to ensure exemption from registration. The Plan Administrator may
also require such other action or agreement by the Participant as may from time
to time be necessary to comply with the federal and state securities laws.

                                       14

<PAGE>

16.4 No Rights as a Shareholder

     No Option or Stock Award denominated in units shall entitle the Participant
to any cash dividend, voting or other right of a shareholder unless and until
the date of issuance under the Plan of the shares that are the subject of such
Award, free of all applicable restrictions.

16.5 Compliance With Laws and Regulations

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Board, in its
sole discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition
the use of any provision of the Plan to Participants who are officers or
directors subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting,
limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Participants.

16.6 No Trust or Fund

     The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan. Nothing contained
herein shall require the Company to segregate any monies or other property, or
shares of Common Stock, or to create any trusts, or to make any special deposits
for any immediate or deferred amounts payable to any Participant, and no
Participant shall have any rights that are greater than those of a general
unsecured creditor of the Company.

16.7 Severability

     If any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Plan
Administrator, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in
the Plan Administrator's determination, materially altering the intent of the
Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain
in full force and effect.

                           SECTION 17. EFFECTIVE DATE

     The Plan's effective date is the date on which it is adopted by the Board.

     Adopted by the Board on February 22, 2000. Sections 4.1 and 14.2 amended by
the Board on December 11, 2002.
