Committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board. The Plan may be

Options or Stock Purchase Rights to Employees and Consultants.

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

need not) be administered so as to permit such Options to qualify for the
exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 and to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (c)  Committee Composition.  If a Committee has been appointed
               ---------------------
pursuant to this Section 4, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the
Board may increase the size of any Committee and appoint additional members
thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in
substitution therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and remove all members of
a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee administering
the Plan pursuant to Section 4(b) above, to the extent permitted or required by
Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          (d)  Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the
               ---------------------------
Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the
Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

               (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;

               (ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock
Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted hereunder;

               (iii)  to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each
such award granted hereunder;

               (iv)   to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

               (v)    to determine the terms and conditions, of any Option or
Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but
are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock
Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria),
any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any
restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock Purchase Right or the
Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

               (vi)   to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash under subsection 10(f) instead of Common Stock;

               (vii)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted;

               (viii) to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

               (ix)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans
established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under
foreign tax laws;

               (x)    to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations
by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a
Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market
Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to
have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such
conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

               (xi)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted pursuant to the Plan.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          (d)  Effect of Administrator's Decision.  All decisions,
               ----------------------------------
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.

     5.   Eligibility.
          -----------

          (a)  Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.

          (b)  Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either
an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market
Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under
all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this
Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order
in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be
determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

          (c)  Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee's
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in
any way with his or her right or the Company's right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause.

     6.   Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
          ------------
the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless
sooner terminated under Section 15 of the Plan.

     7.   Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option
          --------------
Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, is a Ten Percent Holder,
the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such
shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

     8.   Limitation on Grants to Employees. Subject to adjustment as provided
          ---------------------------------
in Section 13 below, after the date, if any, on which the Common Stock becomes a
Listed Security, the maximum number of Shares which may be subject to Options
and Stock Purchase Rights granted to any one Employee under this Plan for any
fiscal year of the Company shall be 1,000,000 Shares.

     9.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
          ---------------------------------------

          (a)  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator,
but shall be subject to the following:

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

               (i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                      (A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of
such Option, is a Ten Percent Holder, the exercise price shall be no less than
110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                      (B)    granted to any other Employee, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

               (ii)   In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

                      (A)    granted prior to the date, if any, on which the
Common Stock becomes a Listed Security to a Service Provider who, at the time of
grant of such Option is a Ten Percent Holder, the exercise price shall be no
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant.

                      (B)    granted, prior to the date, if any, on which the
Common Stock becomes a Listed Security to any other Service Provider, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant if required by the Applicable Laws and, if not so
required, shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator.

                      (C)    granted on or after the date, if any, on which the
Common Stock becomes a Listed Security to any Service Provider, the per share
Exercise Price shall be such price as determined by the Administrator; provided,
however, that if such Service Provider is, at the time of the grant of such
Option, a Named Executive of the Company, the per share Exercise Price shall be
no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant if such Option
is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Code.

               (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with
a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or
other corporate transaction.

          (b)  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant). Such consideration may consist of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company
under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with
the Plan, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making
its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator
shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

                                      -7-

     10.  Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option
               -----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such
times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth
in the Option Agreement, which may include vesting requirements and/or
performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee; provided,
however, that if required by the Applicable Laws, any Option granted prior to
the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security shall
become exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the
date the Option is granted. In the event that any of the Shares issued upon
exercise of an Option (which exercise occurs prior to the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security) should be subject to a right
of repurchase in the Company's favor, such repurchase right shall, if required
by the Applicable Laws, lapse at the rate of at least 20% per year over five
years from the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the above, in the
case of an Option granted to an officer (including but not limited to Officers),
Director or Consultant of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company, the Option may become fully exercisable, and a repurchase right, if
any, in favor of the Company shall lapse, at any time or during any period
established by the Administrator. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise,
vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of
absence.

          An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

          An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i)
written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option
Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if
requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee and his or her spouse.
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist
with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The
Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as
provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

          Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for
sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If an
               -------------------------------------------------
Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her
Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at
least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option
as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the
Option

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following
the Optionee's termination. If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the
Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option
shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  If an Optionee ceases to be a Service
               ----------------------
Provider as a result of the Optionee's disability, the Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement
to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the
Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's
termination. If such disability is not a "disability" as such term is defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such
Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive
Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock
Option on the day three months and one day following such termination. If, on
the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider,
               -----------------
the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance,
but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's termination. If, at
the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option,
the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately
revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator
of the Optionee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the
Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the
Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (e)  Extension of Exercise Period.  The Administrator shall have full
               ----------------------------
power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to
remain exercisable following termination of an Optionee's Service Provider
relationship with the Company from the periods set forth in Sections 10(b),
10(c) and 10(d) above or in the Option Agreement to such greater time as the
Board shall deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall such Option be
exercisable later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          (f)  Buyout Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
               -----------------
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on
such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate
to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

          (g)  Rule 16b-3.  Options granted to Reporting Persons shall comply
               ----------
with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as
may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption for Plan
transactions.

     11.  Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  Options and
          --------------------------------------------------------
Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution provided that, after the date, if any, upon which the
Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, the Administrator may in its discretion
grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to Option Agreements
specifying (i) the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options are
transferable and (ii) that any such transfer shall be subject to the Applicable
Laws. The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not constitute a
transfer. An Option or Stock Purchase Right may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the holder of Option or Stock Purchase Right, only by such holder or
a transferee permitted by this Section 11.

     12.  Stock Purchase Rights.
          ---------------------

          (a)  Rights to Purchase.  Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
               ------------------
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions
related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be
entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such
person must accept such offer. In the case of a Stock Purchase Right granted
prior to the date, if any, on which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security
and if required by the Applicable Laws at such time, the terms of the offer
shall comply in all respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a
Restricted Stock purchase agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

          (b)  Repurchase Option.  Unless the Administrator determines
               -----------------
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of
the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser
to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine, provided, however, that with respect to a Stock
Purchase Right granted prior to the date, if any, on which the Common Stock
becomes a Listed Security to a purchaser who is not an officer (including an
Officer), Director or Consultant of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary
of the Company, it shall lapse at a minimum rate of 20% per year if required by
the Applicable Laws.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

          (c)  Other Provisions.  The Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall
               ----------------
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

          (d)  Rights as a Stockholder.  Once the Stock Purchase Right is
               -----------------------
exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder
and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records
of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12 of
the Plan.

     13.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Change of Control.
          -------------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the
               -------------------------
stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, the number of shares of Common
Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no
Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, the number of Shares set forth in Sections 3(a)(i) and 8 above,
as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding
Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed
               --------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until fifteen (15) days prior to
such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including
Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition,
the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation
takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not
been previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

          (c)  Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, each
               -----------------
outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent
option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase
Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the
Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares
as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option or
Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption
or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator
shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from
the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate
upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the
Change of Control, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right
immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock,
cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change of Control by
holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control
is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the
Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for
the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock
Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock
Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.

          (d)  Termination Following A Change of Control.  If the holder of an
               -----------------------------------------
Option or Stock Purchase Right is an employee of the Company and such holder's
employment terminates as a result of an Involuntary Termination other than for
Cause (as such terms are defined below) at any time within (1) one year
following a Change of Control, then, subject to subsection (e) below, (i) in the
case of an Option, the unvested shares under such Option shall automatically be
accelerated and become exercisable as of the effective date of the Involuntary
Termination in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of further vesting in
accordance with the vesting schedule specified in the employee's option
agreement and (ii) in the case of a Stock Purchase Right, any rights of
repurchase with respect to such Stock Purchase Right shall automatically
terminate as of the effective date of the Involuntary Termination with respect
to an amount of shares equal to twelve (12) months of further vesting in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the employee's restricted
stock purchase agreement.

          (e)  Limitation on Payments.  In the event that the vesting
               ----------------------
acceleration provided for in subsection (d) above (i) constitutes "parachute
payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) but for

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

this subsection (e), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code (or any corresponding provisions of state income tax law), then the
vesting acceleration pursuant to subsection (d) above shall be either

               (i)  delivered in full, or

               (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no
portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section
4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999, results in the receipt by the holder of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right on an after-tax-basis, of the greater amount of severance
benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits
may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Any determination required under
this subsection (e) shall be made in writing by the Company's independent
accountants, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company
and all holders of Options and Stock Purchase Rights for all purposes. In the
event that subdivision (i) above applies, then the holder of the Option or Stock
Purchase Rights shall be responsible for any excise taxes imposed with respect
to such severance and other benefits. In the event that subdivision (ii) above
applies, then each benefit provided hereunder shall be proportionately reduced
to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of such excise taxes.

          (f)  Definition of Terms.  The following terms used in subsections (d)
               -------------------
through (e) shall have the following meanings:

act in accordance with any specific direction or order of, or contractual
obligation with, the Company; (v) commission of any act of fraud with respect to
the Company; or (vi) conviction of or plea of no contest to a felony or a crime
involving moral turpitude causing material harm to the standing and reputation
of the Company, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company.

               (ii) Involuntary Termination.  "Involuntary Termination" shall

mean (A) any termination by the Company without Cause and (B) a voluntary
resignation by an employee within 60 days following the occurrence of one of the
following events without the employee's express written consent: (i) the
significant reduction of such employee's duties, authority or responsibilities,
relative to the employee's duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect
immediately prior to such reduction, or the assignment to the employee of such
reduced duties, authority or responsibilities, provided, however, that the
assignment of the employee to a position with the same title as the employee
then holds, or substantially similar title, in a business unit, division or
subsidiary of the Company following a Change of Control or a company into which
the Company is merged in a Change of Control or otherwise acquiring assets or
voting shares of the Company in connection with a Change of Control, or a parent
of such a company, shall not constitute a significant reduction of duties,
authority or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in the
base salary of the employee as in effect immediately prior to

                                      -13-

such reduction; (iii) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level
of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which the employee was entitled

benefits package is significantly reduced; or (iv) the relocation of the
employee to a facility or a location more than fifty (50) miles from the
employee's then present location.

     14.  Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  The date of grant
          --------------------------------------------------
of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on
which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock
Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice
of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an
Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the
date of such grant.

     15.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the

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

          (a)  Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
               ----------------

compliance.

          (b)  Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an
               --------------------------
Option, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Option to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment 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.

     17.  Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain
          -----------------------------
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

                                      -14-

Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who
acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns

the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be sold under the Plan
is 4,000,000 Shares of Common Stock. The Shares may be authorized, but
unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. If an Option expires or becomes

surrendered pursuant to an Option Exchange Program, the unpurchased Shares
that were subject thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated,
become available for future grant under the Plan. In addition, any Shares of

               --------
Committee, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board.  The Plan may
be administered by different administrative bodies with respect to different
classes of Optionees and, if permitted by the Applicable Laws, the Board may
authorize one or more officers to grant Options or Stock Purchase Rights under
the Plan.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

          (b)  Administration with Respect to Reporting Persons.  With respect
               -------------------------------------------------
to Options granted to Reporting Persons and Named Executives, the Plan may (but
need not) be administered so as to permit such Options to qualify for the
exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 and to qualify as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (c)  Committee Composition.  If a Committee has been appointed
               ----------------------
pursuant to this Section 4, such Committee shall continue to serve in its
designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the
Board may increase the size of any Committee and appoint additional members
thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in
substitution therefor, fill vacancies (however caused) and remove all members of
a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Laws and, in the case of a Committee administering
the Plan pursuant to Section 4(b) above, to the extent permitted or required by
Rule 16b-3 and Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (d)  Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the
               ---------------------------
Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board
to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities,
including the approval, if required, of any Stock Exchange, the Administrator
shall have the authority, in its discretion:

               (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in
accordance with Section 2(o) of the Plan;

               (ii)   to select the Consultants and Employees to whom Options
and Stock Purchase Rights or any combination thereof may from time to time be
granted;

               (iii)  to determine whether and to what extent Options and Stock
Purchase Rights or any combination thereof are granted;

               (iv)   to determine the number of Shares of Common Stock to be
covered by each such award granted hereunder;

               (v)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

               (vi)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder, which terms and
conditions include but are not limited to the exercise or purchase price, the
time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may
be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of
forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option,
Optioned Stock, Stock Purchase Right or Restricted Stock, based in each case on
such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

               (vii)  to determine whether and under what circumstances an
Option may be settled in cash under Section 9(f) instead of Common Stock;

               (viii) to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the then
current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered
by such Option shall have

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

declined since the date the Option was granted and to make any other amendments
or adjustments to any Option that the Administrator determines, in its
discretion and under the authority granted to it under the Plan, to be necessary
or advisable, provided however that no amendment or adjustment to an Option that
would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Optionee shall be made
without the prior written consent of the Optionee;

               (ix)   to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
Stock Purchase Rights and the Restricted Stock purchased by exercising such
Stock Purchase Rights;

               (x)    to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

               (xi)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards
granted under the Plan; and

               (xii)  in order to fulfill the purposes of the Plan and without
amending the Plan, to modify grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to
Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States
in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies or customs.

          (e)  Effect of Administrator's Decision.  All decisions,
               ----------------------------------
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Participants.

     5.   Eligibility.
          -----------

          (a)  Recipients of Grants.  Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock
               --------------------
Purchase Rights may be granted to Employees and Consultants.  Incentive Stock
Options may be granted only to Employees; provided however that Employees of
Affiliates shall not be eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.  An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option or Stock Purchase Right
may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Options or Stock
Purchase Rights.

          (b)  Type of Option.  Each Option shall be designated in the Option
               --------------
Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock
Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and
the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall
be determined as of the date of grant of such Option.

          (c)  At-Will Relationship.  The Plan shall not confer upon any
               --------------------
Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with such
holder's right or the Company's right to terminate his or her employment or
consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     6.   Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
          ------------
the Board.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten years unless sooner
terminated under Section 15 of the Plan.

     7.   Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
          --------------
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in
the Option Agreement.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted
to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, is a Ten Percent Holder,
the term of such Option shall be five years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

     8.   Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
          ---------------------------------------

          (a)  The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant
to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, but shall be subject to the
following:

               (i)  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is:

                    (A)  granted to an Employee who at the time of grant is a
Ten Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                    (B)  granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise
price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date
of grant.

               (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option that is:

                    (A)  granted prior to the date, if any, on which the Common
Stock becomes a Listed Security to a person who at the time of grant is a Ten
Percent Holder, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant if required by the
Applicable Laws and, if not so required, shall be such price as is determined by
the Administrator.

                    (B)  granted to a person who, at the time of the grant of
such Option, is a Named Executive, the per share Exercise Price shall be no less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant if such Option is
intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of
the Code.

                    (C)  granted prior to the date, if any, on which the Common
Stock becomes a Listed Security to any other eligible person, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant if required by the Applicable Laws and, if not so required,
shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

               (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with
a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or
other corporate transaction.

          (b)  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash; (2)
check; (3) delivery of Optionee's promissory note with such recourse, interest,
security and redemption provisions as the Administrator determines to be
appropriate; (4) cancellation of indebtedness; (5) other Shares that (x) in the
case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, either have been owned by
the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender or such other
period as may be required to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings or were
not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of
the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised; (6) authorization for the
Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which
the Option is exercised; (7) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if
applicable, shall require to effect exercise of the Option and prompt delivery
to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price
and any applicable withholding taxes; (8) any combination of the foregoing
methods of payment; or (9) such other consideration and method of payment for
the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws.  In
making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company, and the Administrator may refuse to
accept a particular form of consideration at the time of any Option exercise if,
in its sole discretion, acceptance of such form of consideration is not in the
best interests of the Company at such time.

     9.   Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          (a)  Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.  Any Option
               -----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the term of the Plan and
reflected in the Option Agreement, including vesting requirements and/or
performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee; provided
however, that, if required by the Applicable Laws, any Option granted prior to
the date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security shall
become exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the
date the Option is granted.  In the event that any of the Shares issued upon
exercise of an Option (which exercise occurs prior to the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security) should be subject to a right
of repurchase in the Company's favor, such repurchase right shall, if required
by the Applicable Laws, lapse at the rate of at least 20% per year over five
years from the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the above, in the
case of an Option granted to an officer, Director or Consultant of the Company
or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, the Option may become
fully exercisable, or a repurchase right, if any, in favor of the Company

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

shall lapse, at any time or during any period established by the Administrator.
The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what
extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave of absence.

     An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

     An Option shall be deemed exercised when written notice of such exercise
has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option by the
person entitled to exercise the Option and the Company has received full payment
for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised.  Full payment may,
as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of
payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.  Until the issuance (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing
such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, not withstanding the
exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such
stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the
date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the
Plan.

     Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares that thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan
and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised.

          (b)  Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship.  In the
               ----------------------------------------------------
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status with the
Company, such Optionee may, but only within three months (or such other period
of time, not less than 30 days, as is determined by the Administrator, with such
determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of
grant of the Option) after the date of such termination (but in no event later
than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that the
Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such
termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise the Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the
Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no termination
shall be deemed to occur and this Section 9(b) shall not apply if (i) the
Optionee is a Consultant who becomes an Employee, or (ii) the Optionee is an
Employee who becomes a Consultant.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.
               ----------------------

               (i)    Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, in the event of
termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status as a result of his or her
total and permanent disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the
Code), such Optionee may, but only within twelve months (or such other period of
time as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case
of an Incentive Stock Option made at the time of grant of the Option) from the
date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the
term of

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option
to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.
To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the
date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the
extent so entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate
and the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall
revert to the Plan.

               (ii)   In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous
Service Status as a result of a disability which does not fall within the
meaning of total and permanent disability (as set forth in Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code), such Optionee may, but only within six months (or such other period
of time as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option made at the time of grant of the Option) from
the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the
Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. However, to the extent that such Optionee fails to exercise an
Option that is an Incentive Stock Option (within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code) within three months of the date of such termination, the Option will
not qualify for Incentive Stock Option treatment under the Code. To the extent
that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time period specified above, the Option shall terminate and
the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert
to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee
               -----------------
during the period of Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of the
Option, or within 30 days following termination of the Optionee's Continuous
Service Status, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by such
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of death or, if earlier, the date of termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Service Status.  To the extent that the Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or termination, as the case
may be, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the
Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to
the Plan.

          (e)  Extension of Exercise Period.  The Administrator shall have full
               ----------------------------
power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to
remain exercisable following termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as
an Employee or Consultant from the periods set forth in Sections 9(b), 9(c) and
9(d) above or in the Option Agreement to such greater time as the Board shall
deem appropriate, provided, that in no event shall such Option be exercisable
later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement.

          (f)  Buy-Out Provisions.  The Administrator may at any time offer to
               -------------------
buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted under the
Plan based on such terms

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the
Optionee at the time such offer is made.

     10.  Stock Purchase Rights.
          ---------------------

          (a)  Rights to Purchase.  Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
               ------------------
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan
and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.  After the Administrator determines
that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the
offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must
accept such offer, which shall in no event exceed 30 days from the date upon
which the Administrator made the determination to grant the Stock Purchase
Right. If required by the Applicable Laws, the purchase price of Shares subject
to Stock Purchase Rights shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares as of the date of the offer, or, in the case of a person owning stock
representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the price shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date of the offer.
If the Applicable Laws do not impose restrictions on the purchase price, the
purchase price of Shares subject to Stock Purchase Rights shall be as determined
by the Administrator.  The offer to purchase Shares subject to Stock Purchase
Rights shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
in the form determined by the Administrator.

          (b)  Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
               -----------------
the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the
purchaser's employment with the Company for any reason (including death or
disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original purchase price paid by
the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the
purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the
Administrator may determine; provided, however, that with respect to a purchaser
who is not an officer, Director or Consultant of the Company or of any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, it shall lapse at a minimum rate of 20% per year if
required by the Applicable Laws.

          (c)  Other Provisions.  The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall
               ----------------
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.  In
addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements need not be the
same with respect to each purchaser.

          (d)  Rights as a Shareholder.  Once the Stock Purchase Right is
               -----------------------
exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12
of the Plan.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

     11.  Taxes.
          -----

          (a)  As a condition of the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase
Right granted under the Plan, the Participant (or in the case of the
Participant's death, the person exercising the Option) shall make such
arrangements as the Administrator may require for the satisfaction of any
applicable federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right and
the issuance of Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares
under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

          (b)  In the case of an Employee and in the absence of any other
arrangement, the Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to
withhold or collect from his or her compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy
such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the
date of an exercise of the Option.

          (c)  This Section 11(c) shall apply only after the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security.  In the case of a Participant
other than an Employee (or in the case of an Employee where the next payroll
payment is not sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations, with respect to any
remaining tax obligations), in the absence of any other arrangement and to the
extent permitted under the Applicable Laws, the Participant shall be deemed to
have elected to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of Shares having a
Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date (as defined below)
equal to the amount required to be withheld.  For purposes of this Section 11,
the Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined under the
Applicable Laws (the "Tax Date").
                      --------

          (d)  If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, a
Participant may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of
an Option or Stock Purchase Right by surrendering to the Company Shares that (i)
in the case of Shares previously acquired from the Company, have been owned by
the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have
a Fair Market Value determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the amount
required to be withheld.

          (e)  Any election or deemed election by a Participant to have Shares
withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under Section 11(c) or (d) above
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is
made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.
Any election by a Participant under Section 11(d) above must be made on or prior
to the applicable Tax Date.

          (f)  In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by a
Participant and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option or Stock Purchase
Right is exercised but such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to
tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

     12.  Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  Options and
          --------------------------------------------------------
Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution; provided however that, after the date, if any, upon
which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security, the Administrator may in its
discretion grant transferable Nonstatutory Stock Options pursuant to Option
Agreements specifying (i) the manner in which such Nonstatutory Stock Options
are transferable and (ii) that any such transfer shall be subject to the
Applicable Laws.  The designation of a beneficiary by an Optionee will not
constitute a transfer.  An Option or Stock Purchase Right may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the holder of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, only by
such holder or a transferee permitted by this Section 12.

     13.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Corporate Transactions and
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Certain Other Transactions.
--------------------------

          (a)  Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the
               -------------------------
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of
Common Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to
which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or that have
been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock
Purchase Right, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately
adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares of Common
Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock (including
any change in the number of Shares of Common Stock effected in connection with a
change of domicile of the Company), or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration."  Such adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of Shares of Common Stock subject to an Option
or Stock Purchase Right.

          (b)  Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the dissolution or
               --------------------------
liquidation of the Company, each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action, unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator.

          (c)  Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
               ----------------------
each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an
equivalent option or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or
a Parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless such successor
corporation does not agree to assume the outstanding Options or Stock Purchase
Rights or to substitute equivalent options or rights, in which case such Options
or Stock Purchase Rights shall terminate upon the consummation of the
transaction.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>

          For purposes of this Section 13(c), an Option or a Stock Purchase
Right shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of
issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each
holder of an Option or Stock Purchase Right would be entitled to receive upon
exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right the same number and kind of
shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such
holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the
transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the
holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option or the
Stock Purchase Right at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the
number of Shares covered by the Option or Stock Purchase Right as provided for
in this Section 13); provided however that if such consideration received in the
transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Option or
Stock Purchase Right to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

          (d)  Certain Distributions.  In the event of any distribution to the
               ---------------------
Company's shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other
than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of
consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right to reflect the effect of such
distribution.

     14.  Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  The date of grant
          --------------------------------------------------
of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on
which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock
Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator;
provided, however, that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the grant
date shall be the later of the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Incentive Stock Option or the date of commencement
of the Optionee's employment relationship with the Company.  Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an Option or
Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of
such grant.

     15.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          (a)  Authority to Amend or Terminate. The Board may at any time amend,
               -------------------------------
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination (other than an adjustment made
pursuant to Section 13 above) shall be made that would materially and adversely
affect the rights of any Optionee or holder of Stock Purchase Rights under any
outstanding grant, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent
necessary and desirable to comply with the Applicable Laws, the Company shall
obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a
degree as required.

          (b)  Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment or termination
               ----------------------------------
of the Plan shall materially and adversely affect Options already granted,
unless mutually agreed

                                      -14-
<PAGE>

otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in
writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

     16.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Notwithstanding any other
          ----------------------------------
provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to
the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for,
failure to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or
delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined
by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel.

     As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the
Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock Purchase Right to
represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment 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 law.

     17.  Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
          ---------------------
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

     18.  Agreements.  Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be evidenced by
          ----------
Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements, respectively, in
such form(s) as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

     19.  Shareholder Approval.  If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance
          --------------------
of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company
within twelve months before or after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such
shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
the Applicable Laws.

     20.  Information and Documents to Optionees and Purchasers.  Prior to the
          -----------------------------------------------------
date, if any, upon which the Common Stock becomes a Listed Security and if
required by the Applicable Laws, the Company shall provide financial statements
at least annually to each Optionee and to each individual who acquired Shares
pursuant to the Plan, during the period such Optionee or purchaser has one or
more Options or Stock Purchase Rights outstanding, and in the case of an
individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such
individual owns such Shares.  The Company shall not be required to provide such
information if the issuance of Options or Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan
is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure
their access to equivalent information.  In addition, at the time of issuance of
any securities under the Plan, the Company shall provide to the Optionee or the
purchaser a copy of the Plan and any agreement(s) pursuant to which securities
granted under the Plan are issued.
