                            THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE
                            ------------------------

     This Third Amendment to Lease ("Third Amendment") dated this 7th day of
October, 1999, (the "Amendment Date") is entered into by and between ZORO, LLC,
a California limited liability company ("Lessor"), and LINUXCARE, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("Lessee").

     The parties enter into this Third Amendment on the basis of the following
facts, understandings and intentions:

                                   RECITALS

A.   Capitalized terms used in this Third Amendment without definition shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease (as hereinafter defined).

B.   Lessee and Lessor entered into that certain Lease dated February 11, 1999
(the "Original Lease") with respect to certain premises located on the third
floor, suites 320 and 335, consisting of approximately 4,783 Adjusted Rentable
Square Feet (the "Original Premises") in the Townsend Center in San Francisco,
California (the "Building").

C.   By amendment dated April 30, 1999, (the "First Amendment") Lessee leased
additional space in the Building located on the third floor, suite 345,
consisting of approximately 5,721 Adjusted Rentable Square Feet (the "Expansion
Premises").

D.   By amendment dated May 26, 1999, (the "Second Amendment"), Lessee leased
more additional space in the Building located on the third floor, suite 300,
consisting of approximately 4,135 Adjusted Rentable Square Feet (the "Second
Expansion Premises" or the "Notch Space"). (The Original Lease, the First
Amendment, and the Second Amendment are collectively referred to herein as the
"Lease", and the Original Premises and the Expansion Premises are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Third Floor Premises.")

E.   Lessee now desires to lease additional space in the concourse level of the
Building (the "Concourse Space") consisting of approximately 29,996 Adjusted
Rentable Square Feet as identified on the floor plan attached as Exhibit C-5
hereto, and to terminate its Lease of the Notch Space.

F.   Lessee desires the option to terminate its Lease as to all or a portion of
the Third Floor Premises and Lessor desires to provide Lessee with such option
subject to the terms of this Third Amendment.

G.   Lessee and Lessor desire to amend the Lease to provide the terms and
conditions pursuant to which Lessor shall lease to Lessee and Lessee shall lease
from Lessor the Concourse Space and terminate the Lease of the Notch Space; for
adjustment of Rent and other charges payable to Lessor under the Lease; for
Lessee's option to terminate all or a portion of the remaining Third Floor
Premises; to reflect the correct total Adjusted Rentable Square Feet for the
entire Building; and for certain other matters as provided herein.

                                  AGREEMENTS

     1.   Lease of Concourse Space
          ------------------------

          1.1.  Premises and Term. Lessor hereby leases the Concourse Space to
                -----------------
Lessee and Lessee hereby leases the Concourse Space from Lessor, on all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease as amended by this Third Amendment,
for a term commencing on the Concourse Space Commencement Date (as hereinafter
defined) and ending, unless sooner terminated, five (5) calendar years
thereafter (the "Concourse Space Expiration Date").

          1.2.  Commencement Date. The Term of the Lease and Lessee's
                -----------------
obligations to pay rent for the Concourse Space to Lessor pursuant to Article 7
of the Lease, (the "Concourse Space Commencement Date") shall commence on the
earlier of the following dates:

                (a) the date upon which the City of San Francisco ("City")
issues its certificate of occupancy for the Concourse Space (or other evidence
that Lessee may legally occupy the Concourse Space);

                (b) Ninety (90) days following the date upon which Lessor
Substantially Completes Lessor Work (i.e., Lessor's work has sufficiently
advanced so that completion thereof would not materially interfere with Lessee's
commencement of its Tenant Improvements) as set forth in Schedule 1 to Exhibit
D-3 hereto; or

                (c) the date Lessee commences operations in any portion of the
Concourse Space.

          1.3.  Delivery Date. Subject to approval by City of the new smoke
                -------------
evacuation system for the Concourse Space, and subject further to completion of
Lessor's Work as set forth in the Concourse Space Work Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit D-3 (the "Concourse Space Work Letter") to the extent possible subject
to City approvals, Lessor's estimated date for Lessee's early possession and
entry for measurement and planning is September 30, 1999, with the estimated
delivery date for the Concourse Space being November 1, 1999 (the "Concourse
Space Delivery Date"). Except with respect to satisfactory completion of
Lessor's Work specified in the Concourse Space Work Letter attached to this
Third Amendment, Lessee hereby accepts the Concourse Space in an "AS-IS"
condition on the date of occupancy and Lessee hereby affirms and acknowledges
the conditions of Section 12.2 of the Lease.

          1.4.  Construction.
                ------------

                (a) Lessor and Lessee agree that the Concourse Space Work Letter
attached to this Third Amendment (and not Exhibit D to the Original Lease) shall
control the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to initial
construction of the Concourse Space. Lessee agrees to construct Tenant
Improvements for the Concourse Space in

                                       2.
<PAGE>

accordance with, and to be bound by, all the terms and conditions of the
Concourse Space Work Letter.

                (b) Lessee acknowledges that Lessor will be performing
additional base building upgrades to the Building during the initial
construction period of Tenant Improvements, and that the multi-tenant corridor
separating the Concourse Space from the common areas may not be complete on the
Concourse Space Delivery Date.

                (c) Lessee acknowledges that the ceiling of the Leased Premises
is the primary horizontal riser access for other tenants of the Building.
Accordingly, Lessor may enter the Concourse Space, upon twenty-four (24) hours'
notice to Lessee, except in the case of emergencies when no notice is required,
to install future systems and maintain existing systems in the ceiling of the
Concourse Space, provided that Lessor will exercise its good faith efforts not
to materially interfere with Lessee's use of the Concourse Space.

          1.5.  Operating Costs of Concourse Space. The following sentences
                ----------------------------------
shall be added at the commencement of subsection 8.2(a): "Lessee shall pay to
Lessor as additional Rent in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof, one hundred
percent (100%) of the electricity and other separately metered utility charges
for the Concourse Space. (Operating Costs for the VAC system shall be charged in
accordance with the Building rules and regulations.)"

     2.   Third Floor Premises; Lessee's Termination Rights; Term.
          -------------------------------------------------------

          2.1   Termination of Notch Space (Suite 300). Effective as of the
                --------------------------------------
Amendment Date, Lessee shall have the right, exercisable only upon written
notice to Lessor delivered within twenty-four (24) hours of the Amendment Date,
to continue Lessee's Lease of the Notch Space. Failure by Lessee to so notify
Lessor shall result in termination of Lessee's Lease of the Notch Space as of
the Amendment Date.

          2.2.  Lessee's Option to Terminate the Original Premises and Expansion
                ----------------------------------------------------------------
Premises (Suites 320, 335 and 345). Commencing on the Amendment Date and ending
----------------------------------
seventy-five (75) days prior to the Concourse Space Commencement Date, Lessee
shall have the right, upon not less than seventy-five (75) days' prior written
notice to Lessor, and contingent upon the occurrence of the Concourse Space
Commencement Date, to terminate the Lease as to all or a portion of the Third
Floor Premises on a suite-by-suite basis (but not as to premises consisting of
less than a full suite) by written notice delivered to Lessor, specifying the
suite or suites as to which Lessee is terminating the Lease. The parties
acknowledge the provisions of paragraph 41 of the Original lease. In event of a
termination of a portion of the Third Floor Premises, the rent shall be reduced
by a percentage of the applicable rent, the numerator of which is the Adjusted
Rentable Square Feet terminated and the denominator of which is 9,856.

          2.3.  Condition of Terminated Space. As to all terminated space, the
                -----------------------------
provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to Section 15.4, Restoration,
shall apply.

          2.4.  Term Expiration Dates of Third Floor Premises Not Terminated. As
                ------------------------------------------------------------
to

                                       3.
<PAGE>

all Third Floor Premises not terminated by Lessee, the Lease shall remain in
full force and effect, but shall have the following expiration dates:

                (a)  The Term for the Notch Space (if continued pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)) and Suite 320 of the Original Premises shall expire on December
31, 2003. There is no option to extend the Term as to Suite 320 or the Notch
Space.

                (b)  The Term for Suites 335 and 345 of the Third Floor Space
shall be extended to expire concurrently with the Concourse Space Expiration
Date.

     3.   Option to Renew.
          ---------------

          3.1.  Option Period. Lessee shall have the right to extend the Term of
                -------------
this Lease for all of the Concourse Space, Suites 335 and 345 of the Third Floor
Premises unless terminated pursuant to Section 2.2 herein (Suites 335 and 345
together with the Concourse Space are collectively referred to herein as the
"Renewable Spaces"), for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (such
period being referred to as a "Renewal Term"), provided that not more than two
failures to abide by the terms of the Lease which have caused Lessor to properly
issue a notice of default under the provisions of Article 29 shall have occurred
during the preceding Term and provided that the Lease has not been previously
terminated. The option herein applies to all the Renewable Spaces in the
aggregate and may not be exercised as to portions of the Renewable Spaces.

          3.2.  Option Terms.
                ------------

                (a) Manner of Exercise. Lessee may exercise the option, if at
                    ------------------
all, by written notice to Lessor delivered no later than twelve (12) months
prior to the Concourse Space Expiration Date (the "Outside Exercise Date").
Unless all of the above conditions precedent have been satisfied, Lessee's
exercise of any option shall be of no force or effect and the Renewal Term shall
lapse. If all of the above conditions precedent are satisfied, then the term of
this Lease shall be extended for the Renewal Term, and all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
throughout the Renewal Term, except that the Minimum Rent to be paid by Lessee
for the Renewal Term shall be 100% of the Fair Market Rental (as defined below)
value of the Renewable Spaces as of the Concourse Space Expiration Date, but in
no event shall the Minimum Rent for the Renewal Term be less than the Minimum
Rent payable in the last month of the Term of this Lease prior to the Concourse
Space Expiration Date. The option granted herein is personal to Lessee.

                (b) Fair Market Rental. If Lessee exercises the right to extend
                    ------------------
the Term, then the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted to equal the Fair Market
Rental for the Renewable Spaces as of the date of the commencement of the
Renewal Term, pursuant to the procedures hereinafter set forth. The term "Fair
Market Rental" means the Minimum Rent chargeable for the Renewable Spaces based
upon the following factors applicable to the Renewable Spaces or any comparable
premises:

                                       4.
<PAGE>

                    (i)    Rental rates being charged for comparable premises in
the same geographical location.

                    (ii)   The relative locations of the comparable premises.

                    (iii)  Improvements, or allowances provided for
improvements, or to be provided.

                    (iv)   Rental adjustments, if any, or rental concessions.

                    (v)    Services and utilities provided or to be provided.

                    (vi)   Use limitations or restrictions.

                    (vii)  Any other relevant Lease terms or conditions.

The Fair Market Rental evaluation may include provision for further rent
adjustments during the Renewal Term in question if such adjustments are commonly
required in the market place for similar types of leases.

                (c) Determination of Fair Market Rental. Upon exercise of the
                    -----------------------------------
right to extend the Term, and included within the Notice of Exercise, Lessee
shall notify Lessor of its opinion of Fair Market Rental as above defined for
the Renewal Term. If Lessor disagrees with Lessee's opinion of the Fair Market
Rental, it shall so notify Lessee ("Lessor's Value Notice") within thirty (30)
days after receipt of Lessee's Notice of Exercise. If the parties are unable to
resolve their differences within ten (10) days thereafter or if separated by
more than ten percent (10%), either party may apply for Arbitration as provided
below. If the values are within ten percent (10%), they shall be averaged. If
neither party applies for Arbitration within ten (10) days after receipt by
Lessee of Lessor's Value Notice, Lessee shall be bound to the Fair Market Rental
stated in Lessor's Value Notice. Should either party elect to arbitrate, and if
the arbitration is not concluded before the commencement of the Renewal Term,
Lessee shall pay Minimum Rent to Lessor in an amount equal to the Fair Market
Rental set forth in Lessor's Value Notice, until the Fair Market Rental is
determined in accordance with the arbitration provisions hereof ("Arbitration").
If the Fair Market Rental as determined by Arbitration differs from that stated
in Lessor's Value Notice, then any adjustment required to correct the amount
previously paid by Lessee shall be made by payment by the appropriate party
within thirty (30) days after the determination of Fair Market Rental by
Arbitration has been concluded, as provided herein. Lessee shall be obligated to
make payment during the entire Renewal Term of the Minimum Rent determined in
accordance with the Arbitration procedures hereunder.

                (d) Arbitration. In the event either party seeks Arbitration of
                    -----------
Fair Market Rental under the provisions hereof for the Renewal Term, the other
party shall be bound to submit the matter for determination by Arbitration. The
Arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the County where the Renewable
Spaces are located.

                                       5.
<PAGE>

               (e) Demand for Arbitration. A party demanding Arbitration
                   ----------------------
hereunder shall make its demand in writing ("Demand Notice") within ten (10)
days after service of Lessor's Value Notice.

               (f) Appraiser Notice. Within ten (10) days after service of a
                   ----------------
Demand Notice, Lessor shall provide Lessee with the names of three (3)
appraisers. Each appraiser shall be a member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or its successor), or real estate professionals qualified by
appropriate training and experience and having at least ten (10) years
experience dealing with commercial office leasing in the San Francisco South of
Market and Financial districts ("Appraiser Notice"). Within ten (10) days after
service of the Appraiser Notice, Lessee shall notify Lessor of Lessee's
selection of one of the appraisers designated in the Appraiser Notice and that
Appraiser shall serve as the Arbitrator.

               (g) Decision of the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator so selected shall,
                   --------------------------
within ninety (90) days after his appointment, state in writing his
determination as to whether Lessor's valuation, or Lessee's valuation of Fair
Market Rental, most closely approximates his own. The Arbitrator may not state
his own opinion of Fair Market Rental, but is strictly limited to the selection
of Lessor's Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in Lessor's Value Notice or
Lessee's Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in the Notice of Exercise. The
Arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities
with factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair
Market Rental, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both
parties with full right to cross examine. The Arbitrator shall have no right to
propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the proposed
valuations, and shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease. The
valuation so chosen as most closely approximating that of the Arbitrator shall
constitute the decision of the Arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon
the parties, absent fraud or gross error. The Arbitrator shall render a decision
and award in writing, with counterpart copies to each party and judgment thereon
may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

               (h) Successor Arbitrator; Fees and Expenses. In the event of
                   ---------------------------------------
failure, refusal, or inability of the Arbitrator to act in a timely manner, a
successor shall be appointed in the same manner as such Arbitrator was first
chosen hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and any administrative
hearing fee, if any, shall be divided equally between the parties. Each party
shall bear its own attorneys' fees and other expenses including fees for
witnesses in presenting evidence to the Arbitrator.

     4.   Additional Rights of Lessee.
          ---------------------------

          4.1. Tenant's Right of First Offer. Provided that no default has
               -----------------------------
occurred during the Lease Term, Lessee shall have the right and option to lease
additional space on the Concourse Level of Building (a "First-Offer Right") in
the areas delineated in Exhibit C-5 as the Colo.Com Premises and Macromedia
Premises (each, an "Offer Space") as follows:

                                       6.
<PAGE>

               (a) Superior Rights. The First Offer Right shall commence upon
                   ---------------
the expiration of the occupancy of the Colo.Com Premises or the Macromedia
Premises by Colo.com, Macromedia or their sublessees or assignees (the "Superior
Occupants"). The rights of the Superior Occupants include rights that any of
them may have as at the date hereof, or that the Lessor may grant to them at any
time subsequent hereto and whether under an express written provision, or by
lease amendment, whether arising heretofore or hereafter (collectively the
"Superior Rights:").

               (b) Procedure for Lessor's Offer. Lessor shall provide Lessee
                   ----------------------------
with written notice (the "Term Sheet") from time to time when Lessor determines
that any portion of an Offer Space is or will become available for lease to
third parties, as determined by Lessor, as long as no holder of a Superior Right
desires to lease the Offer Space. The Term Sheet shall:

                   (i)  Describe the Offer Space that will become available for
lease; and

                   (ii) State the terms upon which Lessor would lease the Offer
Space to Lessee.

               (c) Procedure for Lessee's Acceptance. If Lessee wishes to
                   ---------------------------------
exercise Lessee's First-Offer Right with respect to the Offer Space, Lessee
shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Term Sheet (time being
of the essence), deliver its written acceptance therein to Lessor.

               (d) Effect of Lessee's Failure to Accept the Term Sheet. If
                   ---------------------------------------------------
Lessee does not deliver its written acceptance of the Term Sheet to Lessor
within the ten (10) day period specified in subsection (c) above, the First-
Offer Right shall terminate for such Offer Space; this paragraph 4.1 shall
become null and void and of no further force or effect; and Lessor shall be free
to lease such space to a third party on such terms as Lessor, in its sole
discretion, shall determine.

               (e) Restrictions on First-Offer Right. The First-Offer Right
                   ---------------------------------
shall be personal to Lessee and shall be exercisable only by the Lessee and not
any assignee, sublessee, or other transferee of Lessee's interest in the Lease.

          4.2. Assignment and Subletting. The provisions of Article 25 of the
               -------------------------
Lease shall apply to assignment and subletting of the Concourse Space, except
that the following shall be added thereto:

               (a) Section 25.6(a) shall be amended to add thereto the following
sentence before the final sentence in that Section:

          "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
          Section 25.6(a), in the event Lessee notifies Lessor
          pursuant to this Section of Lessee's intent to assign or
          sublease all or any

                                       7.
<PAGE>

          portion of the Concourse Space, Lessor may, upon written
          notice to Lessee, terminate this Lease as to the portion of
          the Concourse Space proposed to be assigned or sublet."

               (b) Section 25.8(b) shall be amended to add the following
sentence at the end thereof:

          "Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
          Section 25.8(b), Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on a monthly
          basis, sixty percent (60%) of the excess of any sums of
          money or other economic consideration received by Lessee
          from the Transferee of the Concourse Space in such month
          (whether or not for a period longer than one month),
          adjusted as set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above."

     5.   Further Amendments to the Lease. Effective as of the Concourse Space
          -------------------------------
Commencement Date, the Lease is hereby amended in the following respects.

          5.1. Definition of "Leased Premises". The term "Leased
               ------------------------------
Premises" as defined in the Lease shall be deemed to refer to the
Original Premises, as reflected and outlined in Exhibit C-1 and C-2 to
the Original Lease, the Expansion Premises as reflected in Exhibit C-3
to the First Amendment and the Concourse Space as reflected in Exhibit
C-5 hereto. Suite 300, third floor (the "Notch Space"), unless
specifically continued in this Lease by Lessee pursuant to Section
2.1(a), is not a part of the Leased Premises.

          5.2. List of Leased Premises and Areas. Section 1.3(B) of the Original
               ---------------------------------
Lease, Section 7(b) of the First Amendment and Section 7(b) of the Second
Amendment are all hereby deleted in their entirety and the following is
substituted in the lieu thereof.

               "1.3 Premises:    (B) Leased Premises, indicated on Exhibits C-1,

                               GUARANTY OF LEASE

     Comdisco, Inc. ("Guarantor"), whose address is __________________________
as a material inducement to and in consideration of ("Lessor") entering into a
written lease (the "lease") with Linuxcare, Inc. ("Lessee"), dated the same date
as this Guaranty, pursuant to which Lessor leased to Lessee and Lessee leased
from Lessor, premises located in the City of San Francisco, County of San
Francisco, State of California, unconditionally guarantees and promises to and
for the benefit of Lessor that Lessee shall perform the provisions of the lease
that Lessee is to perform. The parties acknowledge that the term "lease"
includes that certain Lease dated February 11, 1999; that certain First
Amendment dated April 30, 1999; that certain Second Amendment dated May 26, 1999
and that certain Third Amendment dated October 7, 1999, all of which are between
Lessee and ZORO, LLC ("Lessor") for portions of the Premises at 650 Townsend
Street, San Francisco, CA.

     If Guarantor is more than one person, Guarantor's obligations are joint and
several and are independent of Lessee's obligations. A separate action may be
brought or prosecuted against any Guarantor whether the action is brought or
prosecuted against any other Guarantor or Lessee, or all, or whether any other
Guarantor Lessee, or all, are joined in the action.

     Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty.

     The provisions of the lease may be changed by agreement between Lessor and
Lessee at any time, or by course of conduct, without the consent of or without
notice to Guarantor. This Guaranty shall guarantee the performance of the lease
as changed. Assignment of the lease (as permitted by the lease) shall not affect
this Guaranty.

     This Guaranty shall not be affected by Lessor's failure or delay to enforce
any of its rights.

     If Lessee defaults under the lease, Lessor can proceed immediately against
Guarantor or Lessee, or both, or Lessor can enforce against Guarantor or Lessee,
or both, any rights that it has under the lease, or pursuant to applicable laws.
If the lease terminates and Lessor has any rights it can enforce against Lessee
after termination, Lessor can enforce those rights against Guarantor without
giving previous notice to Lessee or Guarantor, or without making any demand on
either of them.

     Guarantor waives the right to require Lessor to (1) proceed against Lessee;
(2) proceed against or exhaust any security that Lessor holds from Lessee; or
(3) pursue any other remedy in Lessor's power. Guarantor waives any defense by
reason of any disability of Lessee, and waives any other defense based on the
termination of Lessee's liability from any cause. Until

                                       1.

                                   EXHIBIT B
<PAGE>

all Lessee's obligations to Lessor have been discharged in full, Guarantor has
no right of subrogation against Lessee. Guarantor waives its right to enforce
any remedies that Lessor now has, or later may have, against Lessee. Guarantor
waives any right to participate in any security now or later held by Lessor.
Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices
of acceptance of this Guaranty, and waives all notices of the existence,
creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations.

     If Lessor disposes of its interest in the lease, "Lessor" as used in this
Guaranty, shall mean Lessor's successors.

     If Lessor is required to enforce Guarantor's obligations by legal
proceedings, Guarantor shall pay to Lessor all costs incurred, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees.

     Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty shall be binding on Guarantor's
successors.

     Within ten (10) days after written request therefor from Lessor, Guarantor
shall deliver to Lessor or its designee, an estoppel certificate from Guarantor,
confirming that the Guaranty remains in full force and effect in accordance with
its terms and ratifying Guarantor's obligation thereunder. The failure of
Guarantor to provide such an estoppel certificate shall be deemed a default
under the Lease and this Guaranty.

                     -------------------------------------
                          (LESSOR'S AND LESSEE'S WORK)

A.   LESSOR'S WORK

     The Leased Premises shall be delivered to Lessee in "AS-IS" condition, and
without any obligation on the part of Lessor to perform improvements to the
Leased Premises, except for the work expressly set forth in Schedule 1 (the
"Lessor's Work").

B.   LESSEE'S WORK

1.   PLANS/SPECIFICATIONS

     1.1  PLAN DESIGN

     Prior to commencing work on the leasehold improvements to the Leased
Premises as hereinafter provided ("Tenant Improvements"), Lessee shall submit to
Lessor complete and detailed plans and specifications for the Tenant
Improvements ("Plans"). The Plans shall be prepared by Lessee's architect, who
shall be approved in writing by Lessor, which approval Lessor shall not
unreasonably withhold ("Architect") and by Mazzetti & Associates for mechanical
engineering and Camissa and Wipf as electrical engineers ("Engineers"), both
licensed to practice in the State of California.

     1.2  (A)  COORDINATION
               ------------

     The Architect shall coordinate with Lessor's Project Manager Joseph Mock to
assure that the Plans are consistent with the existing design and construction
of the Leased Premises. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has provided Lessee with
a set of base building drawings for the Leased Premises ("Building Drawings").
However, Lessor does not warrant, and Lessee should not rely upon, the accuracy
of the Building Drawings. Lessee, therefore, should undertake its own
investigation of the Leased Premises to confirm existing conditions, rather than
relying on the Building Drawings.

          (B)  GOVERNMENTAL
               ------------

          Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has established procedures for
relations with the Building and Planning Departments of the City and County of
San Francisco and that Lessee, Lessee's representatives, architects, or agents
shall not contact any representatives of

                                       1
<PAGE>

the City and County of San Francisco without the presence of Lessor's
representative to assure consistency of treatment of the Building and its
lessees by such governmental agencies. Any such contact by Lessee's
representatives in contravention of this provision which causes an alteration in
governmental treatment of the Building which results in additional costs to the
Building or any lessee therein, shall be borne by the Lessee.

     1.3  SCHEMATICS

     Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the schematic drawings ("Schematic
Drawings") upon which the Plans shall be based not later than October 16, 1999.
The Schematic Drawings and the Plans shall conform with standards set forth by
Lessor for material specifications and construction specifications which are
applicable for the Building in general. Lessor shall have ten (10) working days
after receipt thereof to review and approve/disapprove the Schematic Drawings.
Once Lessor has approved the Schematic Drawings, Lessee shall cause the
Architect to prepare the Plans which must be consistent with the approved
Schematic Drawings. Provided Lessor has approved the Schematic Drawings, Lessee
shall deliver the Plans to Lessor for its approval, in one or more stages,
during the period between November 1 and November 15, 1999. Lessor shall not
unreasonably withhold its approval of the Plans so long as the Plans are
consistent with the Schematic Drawings. In scheduling the preparation of the
Schematic Drawings and the Plans, Lessee shall allow sufficient time for review
and approval by Lessor and by the appropriate government agencies. Lessee shall
pay for the cost of Lessor's architect and engineer to review Lessee's Schematic
Drawings and Plans.

     1.4  SCHEMATICS APPROVAL

     If Lessor disapproves of the Schematic Drawings or the Plans or any portion
of either, Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee thereof in writing and of the
revisions which Lessor requires in order for Lessee to obtain Lessor's approval.
As promptly as reasonably possible, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days
thereafter, Lessee shall submit to Lessor a revised set of Schematic Drawings or
Plans incorporating the changes required by Lessor. Said revisions shall also be
subject to Lessor's approval. Lessor shall have ten (10) working days after
receipt of the revised Schematic Drawings or Plans to notify Lessee in writing

     1.5  FINAL PLANS

     The Plans, approved by Lessor, shall be referred to as the "Final Plans."
The Final Plans shall be signed by Lessor and Lessee. After approval of the
Final Plans, Lessee shall not make any changes thereto without Lessor's prior
written approval in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit D-3.

     1.6  PERMITS

     Subject to the provisions of paragraph 1.2(b), Lessee shall be solely
responsible for obtaining all necessary governmental approvals and permits
(including but not limited to the approval of the San Francisco City Planning
Department) required to commence and complete the Tenant Improvements after
obtaining the prior approval of Lessor before making any submittal to any
governmental agency for permit, which approval of Lessor shall not be
unreasonably withheld; and immediately upon receipt thereof, Lessee shall
deliver copies of all such approvals and permits to Lessor.

     1.7  CODE COMPLIANCE

     Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in the Lease with respect to
Code Compliance, it shall be Lessee's sole responsibility to satisfy all
applicable building code requirements and governmental rules and regulations
concerning the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements. Lessor's
approval of the Final Plans is not intended, and should not be understood by
Lessee, as an affirmation that the Final Plans comply with applicable building
codes or other governmental rules and regulations or that the Final Plans are in
conformance with standards of good workmanship as practiced by
architects/engineers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lessor's review of the Final
Plans is solely for Lessor's benefit, and Lessee shall not rely upon that review
for any purpose whatsoever in connection with the work on or the design of the
Tenant Improvements.

to perform the Tenant Improvements ("Contractor"), duly licensed in the State of

     2.1  SCHEDULE

     At least five (5) days prior to the start of construction of the Tenant
Improvements, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the proposed schedule of the
Lessee's Work to be performed ("TI Schedule"). The TI Schedule shall be prepared
by the Contractor, and it shall show the schedule for the submission of all shop
drawings/submittals and for the performance of each portion of the Tenant
Improvements. Lessee and the Architect shall either consult with the Contractor
or the Architect shall perform the necessary investigation to determine the
availability of the equipment and materials to be incorporated into the Tenant
Improvements and which portions of the Tenant Improvements will require long
lead time for ordering and/or manufacturing. The TI Schedule shall be in the
form of a Critical Path Method schedule.

     2.2  COMMENCEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION

     Upon delivery of the Leased Premises to Lessee and Lessee's receipt of all
approvals of the Final Plans and the acquisition by Lessee of all necessary
permits, Lessee shall commence the construction of the Tenant Improvements.
Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor must perform certain Lessor's Work, and that
both parties will use all commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate their
respective work inside the space; however, in event of any conflict between
Lessor's Work and Lessee's Work, on one day's prior written notice Lessee shall
either accommodate Lessor's requirements or vacate the Leased Premises until
completion of Lessor's Work. In addition to the foregoing, Lessor shall permit
Lessee access to the Leased Premises, prior to approval of Final Plans and the
acquisition of permits, for the purposes of obtaining measurements of the Leased
Premises, confirming existing conditions and for space planning preparation
purposes. Lessee's entry to the Leased Premises prior to the Delivery Date for
such purposes shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease,
including, without limitation the provisions regarding insurance and
indemnification, but excepting the payment of Minimum Rent and additional Rent.
Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Tenant Improvements and any pre-Delivery Date activities,
and Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessor from and
against any loss, cost, expense, liability, damage, or injury in connection
therewith.

3.   PAYMENT FOR TENANT IMPROVEMENTS AND THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

     3.1  CONSTRUCTION COSTS

          (a) The Allowance. As an inducement to Lessee to enter into the Lease,
              -------------
but subject to paragraph 3.2 below and as otherwise provided in the Lease and
this Exhibit D-3, Lessor agrees to reimburse Lessee for: (1) the cost of
construction of the Tenant Improvements identified on the approved Final Plans;
(2) costs of any permits or licensing fees; (3) payment of the fees of the
Architect, Engineer and Lessee's space planner (the "Planner") (at a cost not to
exceed twenty cents ($.20) per Adjusted Rentable Square Foot of the Leased
Premises for the services of the Planner) for the Tenant Improvements; and (4)
any other costs approved by Lessor including planning and design costs ("Tenant
Improvement Costs") up to a cost not to exceed twenty dollars ($20) for each
Adjusted Rentable Square Foot in the Leased Premises (the "Allowance"). If the
Allowance is not used for Tenant Improvement Costs, the unused portion shall
revert to Lessor and shall not be available for any other purpose by Lessee.

          (b) Additional Allowance. In addition to the Allowance specified in
              --------------------
subparagraph (a) above, Lessee shall have the option, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Lessor, and provided that Lessee presents evidence to
                                ------------
Lessor that it has spent at least $1,200,000 (including Lessor's Allowance) for
Tenant Improvement Costs to require that Lessor advance an additional sum for
Tenant Improvement Costs, up to another $10.00 for each Adjusted Rentable Square
Foot in the Leased Premises ($299,960) which Lessee incurs for real estate
improvements to the Leased Premises which exceeds $1,200,000 (the "Additional
Allowance"). For purposes of this Exhibit D-3, the term Allowance shall include
the Additional Allowance, if advanced. Should Lessee exercise its right to the
Additional Allowance, upon payment thereof, and as a condition thereto, the
parties shall execute an amendment increasing the Minimum Rent by an amount
sufficient to amortize the Additional Allowance over a period of ten (10) years
at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. However, if the option to extend the
term described in paragraph 3 of the Third Amendment is not exercised by the
Tenant by the last day of the forty-eighth (48th) month of the Lease Term, the
unamortized portion of the sum calculated in this paragraph 3.1 (b) as
Additional Allowance shall be immediately due and payable in full in cash as
additional rent.

     3.2  PAYMENT OF ALLOWANCE

          (a) Payment Procedure. Excepting only as to the fees of the Planner,
              -----------------

Amendment Date, Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for the Tenant Improvement Costs
up to the Allowance upon the last to occur of: (i) substantial completion of the
Tenant Improvements; (ii) receipt by Lessor of

                                       5
<PAGE>

performing the work or rendering the services, together with such supporting
documentation as Lessor may reasonably request in connection therewith, and
(iii) receipt by Lessor of unconditional lien releases with respect to the
entirety of the Tenant Improvements from all contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen who performed the work or rendered services or materials. Lessor
shall have no obligation to pay all or any portion of the Allowance at any time
following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any event of default by
Lessee under the Lease.

          (b) Primary Obligation. Lessee shall pay all costs incurred in
              ------------------
connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

          (c) Project Management Services. In consideration of the supervisory,
              ---------------------------
logistical and oversight and review work to be performed by Lessor in connection
with the Tenant Improvements, Lessee agrees that Lessor shall be entitled to
charge against the Allowance a construction management fee (the "Coordination
Fee") in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the total cost of the
Tenant Improvements. Lessor shall deduct the Coordination Fee from the
Allowance.

     3.3  CONTRACT TERMS

     The construction contract for the Tenant Improvements shall include all of
the provisions which are included herein and identified as "Construction
Contract Terms;" provided, however, that the Construction Contract Terms may be
revised with Lessor's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, in a manner which does not expose Lessor to additional liability.

4.   CHANGES, ADDITIONS, AND ALTERATIONS

     4.1  MATERIALITY

     From time to time Lessee may make nonmaterial changes in the Final Plans
prior to final completion with Lessor's prior approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Lessee shall not make any material changes to the
Final Plans (which shall mean a change the cost of which will be in excess of
$5,000.00, or is visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises, or affects
the structure, roof, central building systems or exterior walls of the Leased
Premises) without securing the prior written approval of Lessor, which approval
may be withheld by Lessor in its sole discretion. In seeking Lessor's approval
for changes to the

                                       6

Improvements with Lessor's Project Manager as described herein and as set forth
in the TI Schedule.

          (e) Although Lessor shall have no responsibility as set forth in
subparagraph (d) above, Lessor's Project Manager may, at his option, demand a
stop in Lessee's Work if any terms of this Exhibit D-3 are violated or
threatened to be violated by Lessee or Lessee's contractor or if the Tenant
Improvement Work is not being performed in accordance with the approved Final
Plans.

costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and litigation or arbitration
costs, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the Work and/or

them may be liable. Contractor's indemnity obligation shall be binding upon
Contractor regardless of whether any of the Indemnitees is negligent, actively,

liability, broad form property damage liability, liability which Contractor may
incur as a result of the operations, acts, or omissions of its subcontractors,
suppliers, or materialmen, and their agents or employees, automobile liability,
including owned, non-owned, and hired vehicles. Such policy or policies shall be
endorsed to include all Indemnitees as additional insureds and to stipulate that
such insurance shall be primary insurance and that any insurance carried by any
Indemnitees shall be excess and not contributory insurance.

otherwise.

     8.4  DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES OF INSURANCE AND POLICY ENDORSEMENTS TO

after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant's
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          (d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant's
payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a
Purchase Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in
such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase
Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          (e)  At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at
the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is
disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.

     7.   Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
          ---------------
eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an
option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the
applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall
an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period more than 5,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 19), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 3(b) and 12 hereof. The Board may, for future
Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum
number of shares of

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

the Company's Common Stock an Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period
of such Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in
Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10
hereof. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

     8.   Exercise of Option.
          ------------------

          (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in
Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be
exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full
shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her
account. No fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions
accumulated in a participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a
full share shall be retained in the participant's account for the subsequent
Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the
participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a
participant's account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the
participant. During a participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase
shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

          (b) If the Board determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number
of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan on
the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of
shares available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Board may in
its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such
Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall
be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such
Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) provide
that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available for
purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform
a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to purchase
Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods
then in effect pursuant to Section 20 hereof. The Company may make pro rata
allocation of the shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable
Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any
authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company's
shareholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date.

     9.   Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which
          --------
a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each
participant, as appropriate, of a certificate representing the shares purchased
upon exercise of his or her option.

     10.  Withdrawal.
          ----------

          (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll
deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or
her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in
the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant's payroll deductions
credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant's option for
the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll
deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If
a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not
resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant
delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

          (b) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have
any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which
may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which
commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant
withdraws.

     11.  Termination of Employment.
          -------------------------

          Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he or
she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such participant or, in
the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under
Section 15 hereof, and such participant's option shall be automatically
terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives
payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as
continuing to be an Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per
week of employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such
payment in lieu of notice.

     12.  Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
          --------
participant in the Plan.

     13.  Stock.
          -----

          (a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the
Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan
shall be 1,000,000 shares plus an annual increase to be added on the first day
of the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2001, equal to the lesser of (i)
1,000,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a
lesser amount determined by the Board.

          (b) The participant shall have no interest or voting right in shares
covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

          (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be
registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and
his or her spouse.

     14.  Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a
          --------------
committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     15.  Designation of Beneficiary.
          --------------------------

          (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under
the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to an Exercise Date
on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant of
such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written designation
of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant's account under
the Plan in the event of such participant's death prior to exercise of the
option. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the
spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

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

     16.  Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
          ---------------
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

     17.  Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company
          ------------
under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the
Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

     18.  Reports. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant
          -------
in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to participating Employees at
least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll
deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining
cash balance, if any.

     19.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation,
          --------------------------------------------------------------------
Merger or Asset Sale.
--------------------

          (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
              -------------------------
shareholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares each
participant may purchase each Purchase Period (pursuant to Section 7), the
number of shares that may be added annually to the shares reserved under the
Plan (pursuant to Section 13(a)(i), as well as the price per share and the
number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has
not yet been exercised 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 shares of
Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided,
however, that conversion of

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

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.

          (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
              --------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"), and
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution or
liquidation. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten
(10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period
as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or
              --------------------
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option 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, any Purchase Periods
then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New
Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New
Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's
proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the
Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

     20.  Amendment or Termination.
          ------------------------

          (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any
reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19 hereof, no
such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an
Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date
if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the Plan
is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Except as provided
in Section 19 and this Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any change in
any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or
any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law, regulation or stock
exchange rule), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner
and to such a degree as required.

          (b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to
amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll
withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to
adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company's processing of properly completed
withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods
and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward
the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with
amounts withheld from the participant's Compensation, and establish such other
limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole
discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

          (c)  In the event the Board determines that the ongoing operation of
the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board
may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or
amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but
not limited to:

               (i)   altering the Purchase Price for any Offering Period
including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase
Price;

               (ii)  shortening any Offering Period so that Offering Period ends
on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at the time of the
Board action; and

               (iii) allocating shares.

          Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder
approval or the consent of any Plan participants.

     21.  Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the
          -------
Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by
the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

     22.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with
          ----------------------------------
respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and
delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company 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 by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

     23.  Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
          ------------
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     24.  Automatic Transfer to Low Price Offering Period. To the extent
          -----------------------------------------------
permitted by any applicable laws, regulations, or stock exchange rules if the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period
is lower than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Enrollment Date
of such Offering Period, then all participants in such Offering Period shall be
automatically withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately after the exercise
of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in the
immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.

                       2000 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                            SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

_____ Original Application                            Enrollment Date:__________
_____ Change in Payroll Deduction Rate
_____ Change of Beneficiary(ies)

1.   _____________ hereby elects to participate in the Linuxcare, Inc. Employee
     Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan") and subscribes to
     purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with this
     Subscription Agreement and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.   I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of
     _____% of my Compensation on each payday (from 0 to _____%) during the
     Offering Period in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
     (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.)

3.   I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
     purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
     determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
     understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
     accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my
     option.

4.   I have received a copy of the complete Employee Stock Purchase Plan. I
     understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in
     all respects subject to the terms of the Plan. I understand that my ability
     to exercise the option under this Subscription Agreement is subject to
     shareholder approval of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

5.   Shares purchased for me under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan should be
     issued in the name(s) of (Employee or Employee and Spouse only).

6.   I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to the
     Plan within 2 years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of the
     Offering Period during which I purchased such shares) or one year after the
     Exercise Date, I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having
     received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal
     to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such
     shares were purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares. I
                                                                             -
     hereby agree to notify the Company in writing within 30 days after the
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     date of any disposition of my shares and I will make adequate provision for
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     upon the
     --------
<PAGE>

     disposition of the Common Stock. The Company may, but will not be obligated
     -------------------------------
     to, withhold from my compensation the amount necessary to meet any
     applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to
     make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable
     to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such
     shares at any time after the expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding
     periods, I understand that I will be treated for federal income tax
     purposes as having received income only at the time of such disposition,
     and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of
     an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of
     the share at the time of such disposition over the purchase price which I
     paid for the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on
     the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any,
     recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.   I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
     Plan. The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon my
     eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

8.   In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
     beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
     Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
