                                  BPO-US, INC.
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                             ----------------------

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the
services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board
of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent
advisors in the service of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

         B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the
Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee.

         C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of
the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares
specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time
to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

         2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5 or 6.

         3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. During Optionee's lifetime, this option
shall be exercisable only by Optionee and shall not be assignable or
transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution
following Optionee's death.

         4. DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall become exercisable for the
Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As
the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall
accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated
installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term
under Paragraph 5 or 6.

         5. CESSATION OF SERVICE. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall
terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

<PAGE>   2

               (a) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason
(other than death, Disability or Misconduct) while this option is outstanding,
then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date
of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no
event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

               (b) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then
the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to
whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with
the laws of inheritance shall have the right to exercise this option. Such right
shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of
(i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of
Optionee's death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

               (c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while
this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12)
months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
exercise this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time
after the Expiration Date.

                  Note: Exercise of this option on a date later than three (3)
                  months following cessation of Service due to Disability will
                  result in loss of favorable Incentive Option treatment, unless
                  such Disability constitutes Permanent Disability. In the event
                  that Incentive Option treatment is not available, this option
                  will be taxed as a Non-Statutory Option upon exercise.

               (d) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability,
this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of
Option Shares in which Optionee is, at the time of Optionee's cessation of
Service, vested pursuant to the Vesting Schedule specified in the Grant Notice
or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6. Upon the
expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration
Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested
Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. To the extent
Optionee is not vested in the Option Shares at the time of Optionee's cessation
of Service, this option shall immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding
with respect to those shares.

               (e) Should Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct, then
this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

         6. ACCELERATED VESTING.

               (a) In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the Option Shares
at the time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall automatically
vest in full so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date
of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares as
fully-vested shares and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares
as vested shares. However, the Option Shares shall NOT vest on such an
accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) this option is assumed by the
successor corporation (or

                                       2.
<PAGE>   3

parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and the Corporation's repurchase
rights with respect to the unvested Option Shares are assigned to such successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a
cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing on the unvested Option Shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction
(the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the Exercise
Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout in accordance
with the same Vesting Schedule applicable to those unvested Option Shares as set
forth in the Grant Notice.

               (b) Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this option
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate
Transaction.

               (c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

               (d) The Option Shares may also vest upon an accelerated basis in
accordance with the terms and conditions of any special addendum attached to
this Agreement.

               (e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the
Corporation 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.

         7. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

         8. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have any
stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become the record holder
of the purchased shares.

         9. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

               (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any
part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable,
Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the
following actions:

                                       3.
<PAGE>   4

                  (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase
         Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

                  (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares
         in one or more of the following forms:

                           (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or

                           (B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but
                  only to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in
                  accordance with Paragraph 14.

                      Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12
                  of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then
                  the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows:

                           (C) in shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or
                  any other person or persons exercising the option) for the
                  requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the
                  Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and
                  valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

                           (D) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
                  Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure
                  pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons
                  exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
                  instructions (a) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to
                  effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to
                  the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the
                  settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
                  Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all
                  applicable Federal, state and local income and employment
                  taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
                  such exercise and (b) to the Corporation to deliver the
                  certificates for the purchased shares directly to such
                  brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

                      Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is
                  utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of
                  the Exercise Price must accompany the Purchase Agreement
                  delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option
                  exercise.

                  (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
         that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than
         Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

                                       3.
<PAGE>   5

                  (iv) Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written
         representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it
         to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and state
         securities laws.

                  (v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or
         Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the
         satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax
         withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

               (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation
shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the
appropriate legends affixed thereto.

               (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional
shares.

         10. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. ALL OPTION SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF
THIS OPTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION AND ITS
ASSIGNS TO REPURCHASE THOSE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SPECIFIED IN THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

         11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

               (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option
Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and
Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all
applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of
such exercise and issuance.

               (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall
relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or
sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.
The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such
approvals.

         12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and
Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees
of Optionee's estate.

         13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on

                                       5.
<PAGE>   6

the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery
or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the
party to be notified.

         14. FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion
and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the Exercise Price
for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse, interest-bearing
promissory note secured by those Option Shares. The payment schedule in effect
for any such promissory note shall be established by the Plan Administrator in
its sole discretion.

         15. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are
made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

         17. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. If the Option Shares covered by this
Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued under the Plan as last approved by the stockholders, then
this option shall be void with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder
approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of
the Plan.

         18. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO AN INCENTIVE OPTION. In the event
this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following
terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

               (a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax
treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised
for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3) months after the date
Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent
Disability or (ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases
to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

               (b) This option shall not become exercisable in the calendar year
in which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option would
otherwise first become exercisable in such calendar year would, when added to
the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of
the Common Stock and any other securities for which one or more other Incentive
Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or
any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first
become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of this
option is deferred by reason of the foregoing limitation, the deferred portion
shall become exercisable in the first calendar year or years

                                       6.
<PAGE>   7

thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation of
this Paragraph 18(b) would not be contravened, but such deferral shall in all
events end immediately prior to the effective date of a Corporate Transaction in
which this option is not to be assumed, whereupon the option shall become
immediately exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option for the deferred portion of
the Option Shares.

               (c) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more
other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first
time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on
the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

                                       7.
