            1.1 ESTABLISHMENT. The Telocity, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (the "PLAN") is hereby established effective as of the effective date of
the initial registration by the Company of its Stock under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EFFECTIVE DATE").

            1.2 PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of
Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and
reward Eligible Employees of the Participating Company Group and by motivating
such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Participating
Company Group. The Plan provides such Eligible Employees with an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of Stock. The
Company intends that the Plan qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under
Section 423 of the Code (including any amendments or replacements of such
section), and the Plan shall be so construed.

            1.3 TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall continue in effect until the
earlier of its termination by the Board or the date on which all of the shares
of Stock available for issuance under the Plan have been issued.

      2.    DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

            2.1 DEFINITIONS. Any term not expressly defined in the Plan but
defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition

reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Company deems
reliable. If the relevant date does not fall on a day on which the Stock has
traded on such securities exchange or market system or has been quoted by such
securities dealer, the date on which the Fair Market Value is established shall
be the last day on which the Stock was so traded or quoted prior to the relevant
date, or such other appropriate day as determined by the Board, in its
discretion.

                        (ii) If, on the relevant date, the Stock is not then

Companies.

the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

            3.2 AUTHORITY OF OFFICERS. Any officer of the Company shall have the

(e) determination of the date and manner by which the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock is determined for purposes of administration of the Plan.

            3.4 INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or officers or
employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Board and any
officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to
act for the Board or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the
Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of
them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or
intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days
after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall
offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle
and defend the same.

      4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

            4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be two million five hundred thousand
(2,500,000), cumulatively increased on January 1, 2001 and each January 1
thereafter until and including January 1, 2010 by a number of shares of Stock
(the "ANNUAL INCREASE") equal to the lesser of (a) one percent (1%) of the
number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding
December 31, (b) one million (1,000,000) shares or (c) an amount determined by
the Board, and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of
Stock, or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Purchase Right for any
reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares of Stock allocable to
the unexercised portion of that Purchase Right shall again be available for
issuance under the Plan.

            4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of
any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, or in the event of any merger (including a merger effected for the
purpose of changing the Company's domicile), sale of assets or other
reorganization in which the Company is a party, appropriate adjustments shall be
made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan, the Annual Increase
and each Purchase Right, and in the Purchase Price. If a majority of the shares
of the same class as the shares subject to outstanding Purchase Rights are
exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to
an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the
Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Purchase Rights to provide that
such Purchase Rights are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such
amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the Purchase Price of, the
outstanding Purchase Rights shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner, as
determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event
may the Purchase Price be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if
any, of the stock subject to the Purchase Right. The adjustments determined by
the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

      5. ELIGIBILITY.

            5.1 EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. Each Employee of a
Participating Company is eligible to participate in the Plan and shall be deemed
an Eligible Employee, except any Employee who is either: (a) customarily
employed by the Participating Company Group for twenty (20) hours or less per
week or (b) customarily employed by the Participating Company Group for not more
than five (5) months in any calendar year.

            5.2 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be treated as an Eligible
Employee and granted a Purchase Right under the Plan if, immediately after such
grant, the Employee would own or hold options to purchase stock of the Company
or of any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation possessing five percent
(5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock
of such corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the
Code. For purposes of this Section 5.2, the attribution rules of Section 424(d)
of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of such Employee.

            5.3 DETERMINATION BY COMPANY. The Company shall determine in good
faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an individual has become or
has ceased to be an Employee or an Eligible Employee and the effective date of
such individual's attainment or termination of such status, as the case may be.
For purposes of an individual's participation in or other rights, if any, under
the Plan as of the time of the Company's determination, all such determinations
by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive, notwithstanding that the
Company or any governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination.

      6. OFFERINGS.

            The Plan shall be implemented on and after the Effective Date by
sequential Offerings of approximately six (6) months duration or such other
duration as the Board shall determine (an "OFFERING PERIOD"); provided, however,
that the first Offering Period (the "INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD") shall commence on
the Effective Date and end on or about November 30, 2000. Subsequent Offering
Periods shall commence on or about May 1 (excluding May 1, 2000) and December 1
of each year and end on or about the last days of the next November and April,
respectively, occurring thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may
establish a different duration for one or more Offering Periods or different
commencing or ending dates for such Offering Periods; provided, however, that no
Offering Period may have a duration exceeding twenty-seven (27) months. If the
first or last day of an Offering Period is not a day on which the national
securities exchanges or Nasdaq Stock Market are open for trading, the Company
shall specify the trading day that will be deemed the first or last day, as the
case may be, of the Offering Period.

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
      7. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

            7.1 INITIAL PARTICIPATION. An Eligible Employee may become a
Participant in an Offering Period by delivering a properly completed
Subscription Agreement to the office designated by the Company not later than
the close of business for such office on the Subscription Date established by
the Company for that Offering Period. An Eligible Employee who does not deliver
a properly completed Subscription Agreement to the Company's designated office
on or before the Subscription Date for an Offering Period shall not participate
in the Plan for that Offering Period or for any subsequent Offering Period
unless the Eligible Employee subsequently delivers a properly completed
Subscription Agreement to the appropriate office of the Company on or before the
Subscription Date for such subsequent Offering Period. An Employee who becomes
an Eligible Employee after the Offering Date of an Offering Period shall not be
eligible to participate in that Offering Period but may participate in any
subsequent Offering Period provided the Employee is still an Eligible Employee
as of the Offering Date of such subsequent Offering Period.

            7.2 CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. A Participant shall automatically
participate in the next Offering Period commencing immediately after the
Purchase Date of each Offering Period in which the Participant participates
provided that the Participant remains an Eligible Employee on the Offering Date
of the new Offering Period and has not either (a) withdrawn from the Plan
pursuant to Section 12.1 or (b) terminated employment as provided in Section 13.
A Participant who may automatically participate in a subsequent Offering Period,
as provided in this Section, is not required to deliver any additional
Subscription Agreement for the subsequent Offering Period in order to continue
participation in the Plan. However, a Participant may deliver a new Subscription
Agreement for a subsequent Offering Period in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 7.1 if the Participant desires to change any of the elections
contained in the Participant's then effective Subscription Agreement.

      8. RIGHT TO PURCHASE SHARES.

            8.1 GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Except as set forth below, on the
Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Participant in that Offering Period
shall be granted automatically a Purchase Right consisting of an option to
purchase the lesser of (a) that number of whole shares of Stock determined by
dividing Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) by the Fair Market Value
of a share of Stock on such Offering Date or (b) one thousand (1,000) shares of
Stock. No Purchase Right shall be granted on an Offering Date to any person who
is not, on such Offering Date, an Eligible Employee.

            8.2 PRO RATA ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.1, if the Board establishes an Offering Period of any
duration other than six months, then (a) the dollar amount in Section 8.1 shall
be determined by multiplying $2,083.33 by the number of months (rounded to the
nearest whole month) in the Offering Period and rounding to the nearest whole
dollar, and (b) the share amount in Section 8.1 shall be determined by
multiplying 166.67 shares by the number of months (rounded to the nearest whole
month) in the Offering Period and rounding to the nearest whole share.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
            8.3 CALENDAR YEAR PURCHASE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be granted a Purchase Right
which permits his or her right to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan to
accrue at a rate which, when aggregated with such Participant's rights to
purchase shares under all other employee stock purchase plans of a Participating
Company intended to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, exceeds
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in Fair Market Value (or such other
limit, if any, as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which
such Purchase Right is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the Fair Market Value of shares purchased during a given Offering
Period shall be determined as of the Offering Date for such Offering Period. The
limitation described in this Section shall be applied in conformance with
applicable regulations under Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

      9. PURCHASE PRICE.

            The Purchase Price at which each share of Stock may be acquired in
an Offering Period upon the exercise of all or any portion of a Purchase Right
shall be established by the Board; provided, however, that the Purchase Price
shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the Offering Date of the Offering Period or
(b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Purchase Date. Unless
otherwise provided by the Board prior to the commencement of an Offering Period,
the Purchase Price for that Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%)
of the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Offering
Date of the Offering Period, or (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the Purchase Date.

      10. ACCUMULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE THROUGH PAYROLL DEDUCTION.

            Shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of all or any
portion of a Purchase Right may be paid for only by means of payroll deductions
from the Participant's Compensation accumulated during the Offering Period for
which such Purchase Right was granted, subject to the following:

            10.1 AMOUNT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Except as otherwise provided
herein, the amount to be deducted under the Plan from a Participant's
Compensation on each payday during an Offering Period shall be determined by the
Participant's Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreement shall set forth
the percentage of the Participant's Compensation to be deducted on each payday
during an Offering Period in whole percentages of not less than one percent (1%)
(except as a result of an election pursuant to Section 10.3 to stop payroll
deductions effective following the first payday during an Offering) or more than
twenty percent (20%). The Board may change the foregoing limits on payroll
deductions effective as of any Offering Date.

            10.2 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Payroll deductions shall
commence on the first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue to
the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided
herein.

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
            10.3 ELECTION TO CHANGE OR STOP PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. During an
Offering Period, a Participant may elect to increase or decrease the rate of or
to stop deductions from his or her Compensation by delivering to the Company's
designated office an amended Subscription Agreement authorizing such change on
or before the Change Notice Date, as defined below. A Participant who elects,
effective following the first payday of an Offering Period, to decrease the rate
of his or her payroll deductions to zero percent (0%) shall nevertheless remain
a Participant in the current Offering Period unless such Participant withdraws
from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1. The "CHANGE NOTICE DATE" shall be the
day immediately prior to the beginning of the first pay period for which such
election is to be effective, unless a different date is established by the
Company and announced to the Participants.

            10.4 ADMINISTRATIVE SUSPENSION OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. The Company
may, in its sole discretion, suspend a Participant's payroll deductions under
the Plan as the Company deems advisable to avoid accumulating payroll deductions
in excess of the amount that could reasonably be anticipated to purchase the
maximum number of shares of Stock permitted (a) under the Participant's Purchase
Right or (b) during a calendar year under the limit set forth in Section 8.3.
Payroll deductions shall be resumed at the rate specified in the Participant's
then effective Subscription Agreement at the beginning, respectively, of (a) the
next Offering Period, provided that the individual is a Participant in such
Offering Period or (b) the next Offering Period the Purchase Date of which falls
in the following calendar year, unless the Participant has either withdrawn from
the Plan as provided in Section 12.1 or has ceased to be an Eligible Employee.

            10.5 PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS. Individual bookkeeping accounts shall be
maintained for each Participant. All payroll deductions from a Participant's
Compensation shall be credited to such Participant's Plan account and shall be
deposited with the general funds of the Company. All payroll deductions received
or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose.

            10.6 NO INTEREST PAID. Interest shall not be paid on sums deducted
from a Participant's Compensation pursuant to the Plan.

            10.7 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN ACCOUNT. A Participant may
withdraw all or any portion of the payroll deductions credited to his or her
Plan account and not previously applied toward the purchase of Stock by
delivering to the Company's designated office a written notice on a form
provided by the Company for such purpose. A Participant who withdraws the entire
remaining balance credited to his or her Plan account shall be deemed to have
withdrawn from the Plan in accordance with Section 12.1. Amounts withdrawn shall
be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Company's
receipt of the notice of withdrawal and may not be applied to the purchase of
shares in any Offering under the Plan. The Company may from time to time
establish or change limitations on the frequency of withdrawals permitted under
this Section, establish a minimum dollar amount that must be retained in the
Participant's Plan account, or terminate the withdrawal right provided by this
Section.

<PAGE>   10
      11. PURCHASE OF SHARES.

            11.1 EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHT. On the Purchase Date of an Offering
Period, each Participant who has not withdrawn from the Plan and whose
participation in the Offering has not otherwise terminated before such Purchase
Date shall automatically acquire pursuant to the exercise of the Participant's
Purchase Right the number of whole shares of Stock determined by dividing (a)
the total amount of the Participant's payroll deductions accumulated in the
Participant's Plan account during the Offering Period and not previously applied
toward the purchase of Stock by (b) the Purchase Price. However, in no event
shall the number of shares purchased by the Participant during an Offering
Period exceed the number of shares subject to the Participant's Purchase Right.
No shares of Stock shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of a
Participant whose participation in the Offering or the Plan has terminated
before such Purchase Date.

            11.2 PRO RATA ALLOCATION OF SHARES. If the number of shares of Stock
which might be purchased by all Participants in the Plan on a Purchase Date
exceeds the number of shares of Stock available in the Plan as provided in
Section 4.1, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining
shares in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Company determines to be
equitable. Any fractional share resulting from such pro rata allocation to any
Participant shall be disregarded.

            11.3 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES. As soon as practicable after each
Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each Participant of a
certificate representing the shares acquired by the Participant on such Purchase
Date; provided that the Company may deliver such shares to a broker designated
by the Company that will hold such shares for the benefit of the Participant.
Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan shall be registered in
the name of the Participant, or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of
the Participant and his or her spouse, or, if applicable, in the names of the
heirs of the Participant.

            11.4 RETURN OF CASH BALANCE. Any cash balance remaining in a
Participant's Plan account following any Purchase Date shall be refunded to the
Participant as soon as practicable after such Purchase Date. However, if the
cash balance to be returned to a Participant pursuant to the preceding sentence
is less than the amount that would have been necessary to purchase an additional
whole share of Stock on such Purchase Date, the Company may retain the cash
balance in the Participant's Plan account to be applied toward the purchase of
shares of Stock in the subsequent Offering Period.

            11.5 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time a Participant's Purchase Right is
exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time a Participant disposes of some or
all of the shares of Stock he or she acquires under the Plan, the Participant
shall make adequate provision for the federal, state, local and foreign tax
withholding obligations, if any, of the Participating Company Group which arise
upon exercise of the Purchase Right or upon such disposition of shares,
respectively. The Participating Company Group may, but shall not be obligated
to, withhold from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary to meet
such withholding obligations.

<PAGE>   11
            11.6 EXPIRATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. Any portion of a Participant's
Purchase Right remaining unexercised after the end of the Offering Period to
which the Purchase Right relates shall expire immediately upon the end of the
Offering Period.

            11.7 PROVISION OF REPORTS AND STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION TO
PARTICIPANTS. Each Participant who has exercised all or part of his or her
Purchase Right shall receive, as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, a
report of such Participant's Plan account setting forth the total payroll
deductions accumulated prior to such exercise, the number of shares of Stock
purchased, the Purchase Price for such shares, the date of purchase and the cash
balance, if any, remaining immediately after such purchase that is to be
refunded or retained in the Participant's Plan account pursuant to Section 11.4.
The report required by this Section may be delivered in such form and by such
means, including by electronic transmission, as the Company may determine. In
addition, each Participant shall be provided information concerning the Company
equivalent to that information provided generally to the Company's common
stockholders.

      12. WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN.

            12.1 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN. A Participant may withdraw
from the Plan by signing and delivering to the Company's designated office a
written notice of withdrawal on a form provided by the Company for this purpose.
Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering
Period; provided, however, that if a Participant withdraws from the Plan after a
Purchase Date, the withdrawal shall not affect shares of Stock acquired by the
Participant on such Purchase Date. A Participant who voluntarily withdraws from
the Plan is prohibited from resuming participation in the Plan in the same
Offering from which he or she withdrew, but may participate in any subsequent
Offering by again satisfying the requirements of Sections 5 and 7.1. The Company
may impose, from time to time, a requirement that the notice of withdrawal from
the Plan be on file with the Company's designated office for a reasonable period
prior to the effectiveness of the Participant's withdrawal.

            12.2 RETURN OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Upon a Participant's voluntary
withdrawal from the Plan pursuant to Section 12.1, the Participant's accumulated
payroll deductions which have not been applied toward the purchase of shares
shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as practicable after the
withdrawal, without the payment of any interest, and the Participant's interest
in the Plan shall terminate. Such accumulated payroll deductions to be refunded
in accordance with this Section may not be applied to any other Offering under
the Plan.

      13. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR ELIGIBILITY.

            Upon a Participant's ceasing, prior to a Purchase Date, to be an
Employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, including
retirement, disability or death, or upon the failure of a Participant to remain
an Eligible Employee, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall
terminate immediately. In such event, the Participant's accumulated payroll
deductions which have not been applied toward the purchase of shares shall, as
soon as practicable, be returned to the Participant or, in the case of the
Participant's death, to the Participant's legal representative, and all of the
Participant's rights under the Plan shall

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
terminate. Interest shall not be paid on sums returned pursuant to this Section
13. A Participant whose participation has been so terminated may again become
eligible to participate in the Plan by satisfying the requirements of Sections 5
and 7.1.

      14. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

            14.1  DEFINITIONS.

                  (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have
occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the
direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related
transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

                  (b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change Event
or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, the "TRANSACTION")
wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do
not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(s)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

            14.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON PURCHASE RIGHTS. In the event of
a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING
CORPORATION"), may assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan.
If the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume the Company's rights and
obligations under outstanding Purchase Rights, the Purchase Date of the then
current Offering Period shall be accelerated to a date before the date of the
Change in Control specified by the Board, but the number of shares of Stock
subject to outstanding Purchase Rights shall not be adjusted. All Purchase
Rights which are neither assumed by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with
the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the
Change in Control.

                                       12
<PAGE>   13
      15. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF PURCHASE RIGHTS.

            Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant's Plan account
nor a Participant's Purchase Right may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any manner other than as provided by the Plan or by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. (A beneficiary designation
pursuant to Section 20 shall not be treated as a disposition for this purpose.)
Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be
without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to
withdraw from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1. A Purchase Right shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.

      16.   COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

            The issuance of shares under the Plan shall be subject to compliance
with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect
to such securities. A Purchase Right may not be exercised if the issuance of
shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the
requirements of any securities exchange or market system upon which the Stock
may then be listed. In addition, no Purchase Right may be exercised unless (a) a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall at
the time of exercise of the Purchase Right be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right, or (b) in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase
Right may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of said Act. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any,
deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any shares under the Plan 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. As a condition to the exercise of a
Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty
with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

      17. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER AND EMPLOYEE.

            A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder by virtue of the
Participant's participation in the Plan until the date of the issuance of a
certificate for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the
Participant's Purchase Right (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 4.2. Nothing herein shall confer upon a Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Participating Company Group or interfere
in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the
Participant's employment at any time.

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
      18. LEGENDS.

            The Company may at any time place legends or other identifying
symbols referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law
restrictions or any provision convenient in the administration of the Plan on
some or all of the certificates representing shares of Stock issued under the
Plan. The Participant shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to
the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to a
Purchase Right in the possession of the Participant in order to carry out the
provisions of this Section. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends
placed on such certificates may include but shall not be limited to the
following:

            "THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE
CORPORATION TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER AN
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN AS DEFINED IN SECTION 423 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE
CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY
SHALL NOTIFY THE CORPORATION IMMEDIATELY OF ANY TRANSFER OF THE SHARES BY THE
REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF. THE REGISTERED HOLDER SHALL HOLD ALL SHARES PURCHASED
UNDER THE PLAN IN THE REGISTERED HOLDER'S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY
NOMINEE)."

      19. NOTIFICATION OF DISPOSITION OF SHARES.

            The Company may require the Participant to give the Company prompt
notice of any disposition of shares acquired by exercise of a Purchase Right.
The Company may require that until such time as a Participant disposes of shares
acquired upon exercise of a Purchase Right, the Participant shall hold all such
shares in the Participant's name (or, if elected by the Participant, in the name
of the Participant and his or her spouse but not in the name of any nominee)
until the later of two years after the date of grant of such Purchase Right or
one year after the date of exercise of such Purchase Right.. The Company may
direct that the certificates evidencing shares acquired by exercise of a
Purchase Right refer to such requirement to give prompt notice of disposition.

      20. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

            20.1 DESIGNATION PROCEDURE. A Participant may file a written
designation of a beneficiary who is to receive (a) shares and cash, if any, from
the Participant's Plan account if the Participant dies subsequent to a Purchase
Date but prior to delivery to the Participant of such shares and cash or (b)
cash, if any, from the Participant's Plan account if the Participant dies prior
to the exercise of the Participant's Purchase Right. If a married Participant
designates a beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse, the effectiveness
of such designation shall be subject to the consent of the Participant's spouse.
A Participant may change his or her beneficiary designation at any time by
written notice to the Company.

            20.2 ABSENCE OF BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. If a Participant dies
without an effective designation pursuant to Section 20.1 of a beneficiary who
is living at the time of the

                                       14
<PAGE>   15
Participant's death, the Company shall deliver any shares or cash credited to
the Participant's Plan account to the Participant's legal representative.

      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. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

            The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, except that
(a) such termination shall not affect Purchase Rights previously granted under
the Plan, except as permitted under the Plan, and (b) no amendment may adversely
affect a Purchase Right previously granted under the Plan (except to the extent
permitted by the Plan or as may be necessary to qualify the Plan as an employee
stock purchase plan pursuant to Section 423 of the Code or to obtain
qualification or registration of the shares of Stock under applicable federal,
state or foreign securities laws). In addition, an amendment to the Plan must be
approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the
adoption of such amendment if such amendment would increase the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) or would change the
definition of the corporations that may be designated by the Board as
Participating Companies.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies
that the foregoing Telocity, Inc. 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan was duly
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 4, 2000.

vesting under the Participant's Award Agreement. The Participant's Service shall

necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of
them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or
intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days
after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall
offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle
and defend the same.

        4.     SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

               4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be four hundred thousand (400,000),
cumulatively increased on January 1, 2001 and each January 1 thereafter by a
number of shares of Stock (the "ANNUAL INCREASE") equal to the lesser of (a) two
tenths of one percent (0.20%) of the number of shares of Stock issued and
outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (b) one hundred fifty
thousand (150,000) shares or (c) an amount determined by the Board, and shall
consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock, or any
combination thereof. If an outstanding Award for any reason expires or is
terminated or canceled or if shares of Stock issued pursuant to an Award are
repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated
portion of such Award or such repurchased shares of Stock shall again be
available for issuance under the Plan.

               4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of
any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares
subject to the Plan, to the Annual Increase, to the Options to be granted
automatically pursuant to Section 6.1 and to any outstanding Awards, and in the
exercise price per share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares
which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards
are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant
to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another
corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding
Awards to provide that such Awards shall relate to New Shares. In the event of
any such amendment, the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the
exercise price per share under outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair
and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment
pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down

                                       5
<PAGE>   6

to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise price of any
Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock
subject to the Option. The adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

        5.     ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION.

               Only those persons who, at the time of grant, are serving as
Outside Directors shall be eligible to become Participants and to be granted an
Award.

        6.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

               Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the
number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from
time to time establish. Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms
of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:

               6.1 AUTOMATIC GRANT. Subject to the execution by an Outside
Director of an appropriate Award Agreement, Options shall be granted
automatically and without further action of the Board, as follows:

                      (a) INITIAL OPTION. Each person who first becomes an
Outside Director on or after the Effective Date shall be granted on the date
such person first becomes an Outside Director an Option to purchase forty
thousand (40,000) shares of Stock (an "INITIAL OPTION"); provided, however, that
an Initial Option shall not be granted to a Director who previously did not
qualify as an Outside Director but who subsequently becomes an Outside Director
as a result of the termination of his or her status as an Employee or
Consultant.

                      (b) ANNUAL OPTION. Each Outside Director (including any
Director who previously did not qualify as an Outside Director but who
subsequently becomes an Outside Director) shall be granted on the date of each
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company which occurs on or after the
Effective Date (an "ANNUAL MEETING") immediately following which such person
remains an Outside Director an Option to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares
of Stock (an "ANNUAL OPTION"); provided, however, that an Outside Director
granted an Initial Option on, or within a period of six (6) months prior to, the
date of an Annual Meeting shall not be granted an Annual Option pursuant to this
Section with respect to the same Annual Meeting.

                      (c) RIGHT TO DECLINE OPTION. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any person may elect not to receive an Option pursuant to this
Section 6.1 by delivering written notice of such election to the Board no later
than the day prior to the date such Option would otherwise be granted. A person
so declining an Option shall receive no payment or other consideration in lieu
of such declined Option. A person who has declined an Option may revoke such
election by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Board no later
than the day prior to the date such Option would be granted pursuant to Section
6.1(a) or (b), as the case may be. This Section 6.1(c) shall not apply to the
receipt of any Director Fee Option.

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

               6.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock subject
to an Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of
grant of the Option.

               6.3 EXERCISABILITY AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall vest
and become exercisable as set forth below and shall terminate and cease to be
exercisable on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant of the Option,
unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Award
Agreement evidencing such Option.

                      (a) INITIAL OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan or in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, each Initial Option shall
vest and become exercisable in four (4) substantially equal installments on each
of the first four (4) anniversaries of the date of grant of the Option, provided
that the Participant's Service has not terminated prior to the relevant date.

                      (b) ANNUAL OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan or in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, each Annual Option shall
become fully vested and exercisable on the day immediately preceding the date of
the Annual Meeting next following the date of grant of the Option, provided the
Participant's Service has not terminated prior to such date.

               6.4    PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

                      (a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as otherwise
provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock
being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or
cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership,
of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less
than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice
together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment
to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of
the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without
limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as
promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System) (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), or (iv) by any combination thereof.

                      (b)    LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION.

                             (i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the
ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would
constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement
restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by
the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or
attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have
been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months or were not acquired,
directly or indirectly, from the Company.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

                             (ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Company reserves, at
any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to
establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the
exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise.

               6.5    EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                      (a) OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Subject to earlier termination
of the Option as otherwise provided herein, an Option shall be exercisable after
a Participant's termination of Service only during the applicable time period
determined in accordance with this Section 6.5 and thereafter shall terminate:

                             (i) DISABILITY. If the Participant's Service with
the Participating Company Group terminates because of the Disability of the
Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date
on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the
Participant (or the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time
prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the
Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of
expiration of the Option's term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing
such Option (the "OPTION EXPIRATION DATE").

                             (ii) DEATH. If the Participant's Service with the
Participating Company Group terminates because of the death of the Participant,
the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the
Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant's legal
representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
reason of the Participant's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve
(12) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in
any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant's Service
shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies
within three (3) months after the Participant's termination of Service.

                             (iii) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the
Participant's Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any
reason, except Disability or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the Participant's Service
terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the
expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Participant's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

                      (b) EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the
applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) is prevented by the
provisions of Section 10 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until the
date three (3) months after the date the Participant is notified by the Company
that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

                      (c)    EXTENSION IF PARTICIPANT SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 6.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would
subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the
Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth
(10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant
would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth
(190th) day after the Participant's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option
Expiration Date.

               6.6 TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the
Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the
Participant's guardian or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the
Board, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such
Option, an Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable
limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8
Registration Statement under the Securities Act.

        7.     DIRECTOR FEE AWARDS.

               7.1 EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THIS SECTION. This Section 7
shall become effective commencing with the first calendar quarter beginning
after the Effective Date and shall continue in effect for the remainder of the
calendar year of the Effective Date (the "INITIAL PLAN YEAR") and each
subsequent calendar year commencing during the term (as provided in Section 1.3)
of the Plan (a "PLAN YEAR"). Notwithstanding any Participant's prior election
pursuant to Section 7.2, no Director Fee Award shall be granted to such
Participant after termination of the Plan, and all Director Fees with respect to
which Director Fee Awards have not been granted prior to termination of the Plan
shall thereafter be paid in cash in accordance with the Company's normal
Director Fee payment procedures. However, subject to compliance with applicable
law as provided in Section 10, all Director Fee Awards granted prior to
termination of the Plan shall continue to be governed by and may be exercised or
settled in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement
evidencing such Director Fee Award.

               7.2 DIRECTOR FEE AWARD ELECTIONS. Each Outside Director may elect
to receive Director Fee Awards in lieu of payment in cash of all or any portion
not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Outside Director's Director Fees
during the Initial Plan Year and each subsequent Plan Year (or the portion of
such Plan Year following an individual's initial appointment or election as an
Outside Director). For the Initial Plan Year and each subsequent Plan Year or
applicable portion thereof, a Participant shall be entitled to elect one of the
following alternative forms of payment of the value of the Participant's
Director Fees:

                      (a) PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF A DIRECTOR FEE OPTION. If
elected, that portion of the Participant's Director Fees elected by the
Participant will be paid in the form of a Director Fee Option in accordance with
Section 7.5, and the balance will be paid in cash in accordance with the
Company's normal Director Fee payment procedures.

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

                      (b) PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF A STOCK UNITS AWARD. If
elected, that portion of the Participant's Director Fees elected by the
Participant will be paid in the form of a Stock Units Award in accordance with
Section 7.6, and the balance will be paid in cash in accordance with the
Company's normal Director Fee payment procedures. In connection with an election
to receive a Stock Units Award, the Participant may elect an "Early Settlement
Date" (as defined below) upon which the Stock Units Award will be settled in
accordance with Section 7.6(c); provided, however, that upon termination of the
Participant's Service prior to the Early Settlement Date, settlement shall be
made as provided in Section 7.6(c). An "EARLY SETTLEMENT DATE" is a date, if
any, elected by the Participant which shall be a date no sooner than January 1
of the third Plan Year following the Plan Year of the Stock Units Award. A
Participant's election of an Early Settlement Date shall become irrevocable as
provided in Section 7.3(b).

               7.3    TIME AND MANNER OF ELECTION.

                      (a) TIME OF ELECTION. Each Outside Director making an
election pursuant to Section 7.2 shall make such election:

                             (i) for the Initial Plan Year, prior to the earlier
of (1) the date thirty (30) days following in the Effective Date or (2) the
commencement of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date;

                             (ii) for each subsequent Plan Year, prior to the
first day of such Plan Year; and

                             (iii) in the case of a newly appointed or elected
Outside Director, on the date of such appointment or election for the remainder
of the Initial Plan Year or subsequent Plan Year of appointment or election, as
the case may be.

                      (b) ELECTION IRREVOCABLE. A Participant's elections
pursuant to Section 7.2 shall become irrevocable as of the commencement of the
Plan Year or portion thereof to which it applies.

                      (c) FAILURE TO TIMELY ELECT. Any Outside Director who
fails to make an election in accordance with this Section for any Plan Year (or
the Initial Plan Year, as the case may be) shall be deemed to have elected to
receive all of such individual's Director Fees in cash in accordance with the
Company's normal Director Fee payment procedures.

                      (d) MANNER OF ELECTION. Each election in accordance with
this Section shall be made on a form prescribed by the Company for this purpose
and shall be delivered to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

               7.4 AUTOMATIC GRANT OF DIRECTOR FEE AWARDS. Subject to the
provisions of Section 4.1 and this Section 7, effective as of the last day of
each quarter during any Plan Year (or the Initial Plan Year, as the case may
be), each Participant shall be granted automatically and without further action
of the Board a Director Fee Award in lieu of that portion, if any (the "ELECTED
QUARTERLY FEES"), of the Director Fees earned by the Participant during such
quarter

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

and specified by the Participant's election under Section 7.2 for such Plan Year
(or Initial Plan Year). In accordance with the Participant's election under
Section 7.2 for the Plan Year (or Initial Plan Year), the Director Fee Award
shall be either in the form of a Director Fee Option pursuant to Section 7.5 or
a Stock Units Award pursuant to Section 7.6.

               7.5 DIRECTOR FEE OPTION. Each Director Fee Option shall be
evidenced by a Director Fee Option Agreement specifying the number of shares of
Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time
establish. Director Fee Option Agreements may incorporate all or any of the
terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the terms
and conditions of Section 6 to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 7
and to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.5(a) through 7.5(c)
below:

                      (a) EXERCISE PRICE OF DIRECTOR FEE OPTION. The exercise
price per share for each Director Fee Option shall be fifty percent (50%) of the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Director Fee
Option.

                      (b) NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO DIRECTOR FEE OPTION. The
number of shares of Stock subject to a Director Fee Option shall be determined
by the following formula (with any resulting fractional share being
disregarded):

                             X  =  A / (B x 50%)

                      where,

                             "X" is the number of shares subject to the Director
                             Fee Option;

                             "A" is the amount of Elected Quarterly Fees in lieu
                             of which the Director Fee Option is granted; and

                             "B" is the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
                             the date of grant of the Director Fee Option.

                      (c) EXERCISABILITY AND TERM OF DIRECTOR FEE OPTION. Each
Director Fee Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested in full on and
after the date of grant and shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant of the Director Fee Option, unless
earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan or the Director Fee Option
Agreement.

               7.6 STOCK UNITS AWARD. Each Stock Units Award shall be evidenced
by a Stock Units Agreement that shall specify the number of Stock Units to which
such agreement pertains, the form and time of settlement of such Stock Units and
such other provisions as the Board shall determine. Stock Units Agreements may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply
with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.6(a)
through 7.6(d) below:

                      (a) NUMBER OF STOCK UNITS AWARDED. The number of Stock
Units subject to a Stock Units Award shall be determined by the following
formula (with any resulting fractional Stock Unit being disregarded):

                                       11
<PAGE>   12

                             X  =  A / B

                      where,

                             "X" is the number of Stock Units subject to the
                             Stock Units Award;

                             "A" is the amount of Elected Quarterly Fees in lieu
                             of which the Stock Units Award is granted; and

                             "B" is the Fair Market Values of a share of Stock
                             on the date of grant of the Stock Units Award.

                      (b) VOTING AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS. Participants
shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Stock
Units until the date of the issuance of a certificate for such shares (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company). Prior to settlement of a Stock Units
Award, such Award shall include the right to Dividend Equivalents, pursuant to
which the Participant shall be credited with additional whole and/or fractional
Stock Units as of the date of any payment of cash dividends with respect to the
Stock occurring prior to such settlement date. Such additional Stock Units shall
be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same
manner and at the same time as the Stock Units originally subject to the Stock
Units Award. The number of such whole and/or fractional Stock Units to be
credited with respect to any Stock Units Award on the date of payment of any
cash dividend shall be determined by the following formula:

                             X  =  (A x B) / C

                      where,

                             "X" is the number of whole and/or fractional Stock
                             Units to be credited with respect to the Stock
                             Units Award;

                             "A" is the amount of cash dividends paid on one
                             share of Stock;

                             "B" is the number of whole and fractional Stock
                             Units subject to the Stock Units Award as of the
                             cash dividend payment date and immediately prior to
                             the crediting of Dividend Equivalents; and

                             "C" is the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
                             the cash dividend payment date.

                      (c) SETTLEMENT OF STOCK UNITS AWARD. Subject to the
provisions of Section 10 below, the Company shall issue to the Participant,
within thirty (30) days following the earlier of (i) the Early Settlement Date
elected by the Participant with respect to the Stock Units Award or (ii) the
date of termination of the Participant's Service, a number of whole shares of
Stock equal to the number of whole Stock Units subject to the Stock Units Award.
Such shares of Stock shall be fully vested and shall not be subject to any
restriction on transfer other than any such restriction as may be required
pursuant to Section 10 or any applicable law, rule or regulation. The
Participant shall not be required to pay any additional consideration to acquire
shares of Stock upon settlement of a Stock Units Award. Any fractional Stock
Unit subject to the Stock Units Award shall be settled in accordance with
Section 7.8.

                                       12
<PAGE>   13

                      (d) NONTRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK UNITS. Prior to their
settlement pursuant to Section 7.6(c), no Stock Units granted to a Participant
shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant
or the Participant's beneficiary, except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.

               7.7 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. Notwithstanding any
Participant's prior election pursuant to Section 7.2, no Director Fee Award
shall be granted to such Participant after termination of such Participant's
Service as an Outside Director, and all Director Fees with respect to which
Director Fee Awards have not been granted prior to termination of such
Participant's Service as an Outside Director shall thereafter be paid in cash in
accordance with the Company's normal Director Fee payment procedures. However,
subject to compliance with applicable law as provided in Section 10, all
Director Fee Awards granted prior to termination of a Participant's Service
shall continue to be governed by and may be exercised or settled in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement evidencing such Director Fee
Award.

               7.8 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Stock shall be
issued upon the exercise of any Director Fee Option or settlement of any Stock
Units Award. Upon the settlement of any Stock Units Award, the Company shall pay
to the Participant cash in lieu of any fractional Stock Unit subject to the
Stock Units Award in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the settlement
date of such fractional share of Stock. Furthermore, any portion of a
Participant's Elected Quarterly Fees representing a fractional share amount that
would otherwise be paid in the form of a Director Fee Option or a Stock Units
Award shall instead be paid in cash in accordance with the Company's normal
Director Fee payment procedures.

        8.     STANDARD FORMS OF AWARD AGREEMENT.

               8.1 AWARD AGREEMENT. Each Award shall comply with and be subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Award Agreement
approved by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended
from time to time. Any Award Agreement may consist of an appropriate form of
Notice of Grant and a form of Agreement incorporated therein by reference, or
such other form or forms as the Board may approve from time to time.

               8.2 AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the authority
from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement
either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in
connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided,
however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended
standard form or forms of Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan.

        9.     CHANGE IN CONTROL.

               9.1    DEFINITIONS.

                      (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have
occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the
direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related
transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company.

                      (b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change
Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a
"TRANSACTION") wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the
Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially
the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(s)"), as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

               9.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON OPTIONS. In the event of a
Change in Control, any unexercisable or unvested portions of outstanding Options
and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof held by Participants whose
Service has not terminated prior to such date shall be immediately exercisable
and vested in full as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change
in Control. However, if it is determined that the provisions or operation of the
preceding sentence would preclude treatment of a Change in Control as a
"pooling-of-interests" for accounting purposes and provided further that in the
absence of the preceding sentence such Change in Control would be treated as a
"pooling-of-interests" for accounting purposes, then the preceding sentence
shall be void ab initio, and the vesting and exercisability of each outstanding
Option and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof shall be determined
under any other applicable provision of the Plan or the Award Agreement
evidencing such Option. The exercise or vesting of any Option and any shares
acquired upon the exercise thereof that was permissible solely by reason of this
Section 9.2 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control.
In addition, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or
parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"),
may either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Options
or substitute for outstanding Options substantially equivalent options for the
Acquiring Corporation's stock. Any Options which are neither assumed or
substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in
Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change

                                       14
<PAGE>   15

in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date
of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the
stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an
Ownership Change Event described in Section 9.1(a)(i) constituting a Change in
Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such
Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined
voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other
corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of
Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b)
of the Code, the outstanding Options shall not terminate.

               9.3 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON STOCK UNITS. In the event of a
Change in Control, the Acquiring Corporation may either assume the Company's
rights and obligations under outstanding Stock Units Awards or substitute for
outstanding Stock Units Awards substantially equivalent awards with respect to
the Acquiring Corporation's stock. Any outstanding Stock Units Awards not
assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation shall be settled in
accordance with Section 7.6(c) immediately prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control.

               9.4 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON UNPAID DIRECTOR FEES. In the
event of a Change in Control, any Director Fees with respect to which the
Company has not granted either a Director Fee Option or a Stock Units Award
pursuant to Section 7 prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall
be paid in cash immediately prior to such effective date.

        10.    COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

               The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant
to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of
federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the
requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may
then be listed. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (a) a
registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of
the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the
Option or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares
issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms
of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal 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. As a
condition to the issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant
to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence
compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation
or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

        11.    TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN.

               The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time. However,
subject to changes in applicable law, regulations or rules that would permit
otherwise, without the approval

                                       15
<PAGE>   16

of the Company's stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) and (b) no other
amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company's stockholders
under any applicable law, regulation or rule. No termination or amendment of the
Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the
Board. In any event, no termination or amendment of the Plan may adversely
affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant, unless
such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with any applicable law,
regulation or rule.

        12.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

               12.1 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable pursuant to an
Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares
of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all
or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by
law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to such
Award. Alternatively or in addition, in its discretion, the Company shall have
the right to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment
or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate
provision for any such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company
Group arising in connection with the Award. The Fair Market Value of any shares
of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations
shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory
withholding rates. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of
Stock until the Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have
been satisfied by the Participant.

               12.2 PROVISION OF INFORMATION. Each Participant shall be given
access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information
generally made available to the Company's common stockholders.

               12.3 BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. Each Participant may name, from
time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or
successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of such
Participant's death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be
in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by
the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime.
In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the
Participant's death shall be paid to his or her estate.

               12.4 UNFUNDED OBLIGATION. Any benefits payable to Participants
pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded obligations for all purposes, including,
without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from
its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts
with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times
beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the
Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments
or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not
create or constitute a trust or

                                       16
<PAGE>   17

fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a
Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any
Participant or the Participant's creditors in any assets of any Participating
Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company
for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested
by the Company with respect to the Plan. To the extent that any person acquires
a right to receive any payment from a Participating Company under the Plan, such
right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of
such Participating Company.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies
that the foregoing sets forth the Telocity, Inc. Outside Directors Stock Plan as
duly adopted by the Board on January 4, 2000.

                                             /s/  SCOTT MARTIN
