                                 PERFICIENT INC.
                      1999 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN
                           (AMENDED AS OF MAY 1, 2000)

                                   ARTICLE ONE

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

I.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

                  This 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to
promote the interests of Perficient Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing
eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an
incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.

                  Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the attached Appendix.

         II.      STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

                  A. The Plan shall be divided into three separate equity
programs:

                             (i) the Discretionary Option Grant Program under
which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

                            (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which
eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued
shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such
shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or
Subsidiary), and

                           (iii) the Automatic Option Grant Program under
which eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive options
at periodic intervals to purchase shares of Common Stock.

                  B. The provisions of Articles One and Five shall apply to
all equity programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all
persons under the Plan.

         III.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

                  A. Prior to the Section 12 Registration Date, the
Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs shall be administered
by the Board. Beginning with the Section 12 Registration Date, the following
provisions shall govern the administration of the Plan:

                             (i) The Board shall have the authority to
administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with
respect to Section 16 Insiders but may delegate such authority in whole or in
part to the Primary Committee.

<PAGE>

                            (ii) Administration of the Discretionary Option
Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible
to participate in those programs may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in
the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the
power to administer those programs with respect to all such persons.

                           (iii) Administration of the Automatic Option Grant
Program shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program.

                  B. Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full power and authority
subject to the provisions of the Plan:

                             (i) to establish such rules as it may deem
appropriate for proper administration of the Plan, to make all factual
determinations, to construe and interpret the provisions of the Plan and the
awards thereunder and to resolve any and all ambiguities thereunder;

                            (ii) to determine, with respect to awards made
under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs, which
eligible persons are to receive such awards, the time or times when such
awards are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such award,
the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the award, the status of a granted
option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option and the maximum
term for which the option is to remain outstanding;

                           (iii) to amend, modify or cancel any outstanding
award with the consent of the holder or accelerate the vesting of such award;
and

                            (iv) to take such other discretionary actions as
permitted pursuant to the terms of the applicable program.

Decisions of each Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative
functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties.

                  C. Members of the Primary Committee or any Secondary
Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and
may be removed by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time
terminate the functions of any Secondary Committee and reassume all powers and
authority previously delegated to such committee.

                  D. Service on the Primary Committee or the Secondary
Committee shall constitute service as a Board member, and members of each such
committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and
reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee. No member
of the Primary Committee or the Secondary Committee shall be liable for any
act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any options or
stock issuances under the Plan.

         IV.      ELIGIBILITY

                  A. The persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows:

                             (i) Employees,

                                      11

<PAGE>

                            (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the
board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and

                           (iii) consultants and other independent advisors
who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

                  B. Only non-employee Board members shall be eligible to
participate in the Automatic Option Grant Program.

         V.       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

                  A. The stock issuable in the aggregate under the Plan shall
be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including
shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market. The maximum number
of shares of Common Stock initially reserved for issuance in the aggregate
over the term of the Plan and upon exercise of options granted prior to the
adoption of the Plan (the "Prior Options") shall not exceed 1,850,000 shares.

                  B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive
options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock
issuances for more than 75,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per
calendar year; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that any person receiving options in
connection with the merger of Compete, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Corporation shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation.

                  C. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options
under the Plan and the Prior Options shall be available for subsequent
issuance under the Plan to the extent those options expire, terminate or are
cancelled for any reason prior to exercise in full. Unvested shares issued
under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the
original exercise or issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's
repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be
available for reissuance through one or more subsequent options or direct
stock issuances under the Plan. However, should the exercise price of an
option under the Plan or a Prior Option be paid with shares of Common Stock or
should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan or upon
exercise of a Prior Option be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of
the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of an option or
the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the
gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or which vest under
the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common Stock issued
to the holder of such option or stock issuance. Shares of Common Stock
underlying one or more stock appreciation rights exercised under the Plan
shall NOT be available for subsequent issuance.

                  D. If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities
issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which
any one person may be granted options, separately exercisable stock
appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under this Plan per calendar
year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities for which grants are
subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and
continuing non-employee Board members and (iv) the number and/or class of
securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding
option under the Plan. Such adjustments to the outstanding options are to be
effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement

                                      12

<PAGE>

or dilution of rights and benefits under such options. The adjustments
determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.
In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the
conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation's preferred
stock into shares of Common Stock.

                                   ARTICLE TWO

                       DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

         I.       OPTION TERMS

                  Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in
the form approved by the Plan Administrator; PROVIDED, however, that each such
document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing
an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the
Plan applicable to such options.

                  A.       EXERCISE PRICE.

                           1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by
the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

                           2. The exercise price shall become immediately due
upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section II
of Article Five and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or
check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered
under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the
exercise price may also be paid as follows:

                                     (i) shares of Common Stock held for the
         requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's
         earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market
         Value on the Exercise Date, or

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

                  Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made
on the Exercise Date.

                  B. EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be
exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of
shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the
documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in
excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

                  C. CESSATION OF SERVICE.

                                      13

<PAGE>

                           1.       The following provisions shall govern the
exercise of any options outstanding at the time of the Optionee's cessation of
Service or death:

                                     (i) Any option outstanding at the time
         of the Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason shall remain
         exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined
         by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing
         the option, but no such option shall be exercisable after the
         expiration of the option term.

                                    (ii) Any option exercisable in whole or
         in part by the Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently
         exercised by his or her Beneficiary.

                                   (iii) During the applicable post-Service
         exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for
         more than the number of vested shares for which the option is
         exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon
         the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon
         the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and
         cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has
         not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the
         Optionee's cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding
         to the extent the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable for
         vested shares.

                                    (iv) Should the Optionee's Service be
         terminated for Misconduct or should the Optionee engage in Misconduct
         while his or her options are outstanding, then all such options shall
         terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

                           2.       The Plan Administrator shall have complete
discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time
while the option remains outstanding:

                                     (i) to extend the period of time for
         which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's
         cessation of Service to such period of time as the Plan Administrator
         shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the
         option term, and/or

                                    (ii) to permit the option to be exercised,
         during the applicable post-Service exercise period, for one or more
         additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested had
         the Optionee continued in Service.

                  D. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of an option shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such
person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.

                  E. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. The Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of
Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested
shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise
price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon
which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and
procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased
shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the
document evidencing such repurchase right.

                                      14

<PAGE>

                  F. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime
of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee
and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution following the Optionee's death. Non-Statutory
Options shall be subject to the same restrictions, except that a Non-Statutory
Option may, to the extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, be assigned in
whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime (i) as a gift to one or more
members of the Optionee's immediate family, to a trust in which Optionee
and/or one or more such family members hold more than fifty percent (50%) of
the beneficial interest or to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%)
of the voting interests are owned by one or more such family members or (ii)
pursuant to a domestic relations order. The terms applicable to the assigned
portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior
to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the
assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.

         II.      INCENTIVE OPTIONS

                  The terms specified below shall be applicable to all
Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II,
all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Five shall be applicable to
Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory
Options when issued under the Plan shall NOT be subject to the terms of this
Section II.

                  A. ELIGIBILITY.  Incentive Options may only be granted to
Employees.

                  B. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share shall not be
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the option grant date.

                  C. DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the
shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of
grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan
(or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may
for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one
calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options
which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the
foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive
Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are
granted.

                  D. 10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive
Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share
shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall
not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.

         III.     CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

                  A. Each option outstanding at the time of a Change in
Control but not otherwise fully-vested shall automatically accelerate so that
each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change
in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the
time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those
shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option
shall not so accelerate if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in
connection with the Change in Control, assumed or otherwise continued in full
force and effect by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) pursuant to
the terms of the Change in Control, (ii) such option is replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing at the time of the Change in Control on the shares of Common Stock
for which the option is not otherwise at

                                      15

<PAGE>

that time exercisable and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with
the same vesting schedule applicable to those option shares or (iii) the
acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the
Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

                  B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate
automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Change in Control,
except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continue in full force
and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control or (ii) such
accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan
Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

                  C. Immediately following the consummation of the Change in
Control, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding,
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof)
or otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the
terms of the Change in Control.

                  D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change
in Control shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in
Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been
issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the
option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control. Appropriate
adjustments to reflect such Change in Control shall also be made to (i) the
exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, PROVIDED the
aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same,
(ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over
the remaining term of the Plan and (iii) the maximum number and/or class of
securities for which any one person may be granted options, separately
exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances under the
Plan per calendar year.

                  E. The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one
or more options will automatically accelerate in connection with a Change in
Control, whether or not those options are assumed or otherwise continued in
full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control. Any such
option shall accordingly become exercisable, immediately prior to the
effective date of such Change in Control, for all of the shares of Common
Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all
of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Plan
Administrator may at any time provide that one or more of the Corporation's
repurchase rights shall not be assignable in connection with such Change in
Control and shall terminate upon the consummation of such Change in Control.

                  F. The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one
or more options will automatically accelerate upon an Involuntary Termination
of the Optionee's Service within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen
(18) months) following the effective date of any Change in Control in which
those options do not otherwise accelerate. Any options so accelerated shall
remain exercisable for fully-vested shares until the EARLIER of (i) the
expiration of the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year
period measured from the effective date of the Involuntary Termination. In
addition, the Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one or more of
the Corporation's repurchase rights shall immediately terminate upon such
Involuntary Termination.

                  G. The Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one
or more options will automatically accelerate in connection with a Hostile
Take-Over. Any such option shall become exercisable, immediately prior to the
effective date of such Hostile Take-Over, for all of the shares of

                                      16

<PAGE>

Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any
or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. In addition,
the Plan Administrator may at any time provide that one or more of the
Corporation's repurchase rights shall terminate automatically upon the
consummation of such Hostile Take-Over. Alternatively, the Plan Administrator
may condition such automatic acceleration and termination upon an Involuntary
Termination of the Optionee's Service within a designated period (not to
exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of such Hostile
Take-Over. Each option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for
fully-vested shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option
term.

                  H. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in
connection with a Change in Control or Hostile Take Over shall remain
exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One
Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent
such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option
shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

         IV.      STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

                  The Plan Administrator may, subject to such conditions as it
may determine, grant to selected Optionees stock appreciation rights which
will allow the holders of those rights to elect between the exercise of the
underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender of that option
in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
excess of (a) the Option Surrender Value of the number of shares for which the
option is surrendered over (b) the aggregate exercise price payable for such
shares. The distribution may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair
Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and
partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem
appropriate.

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

         I.       STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

                  Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock
Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any
intervening options. Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock
Issuance Program pursuant to share right awards which entitle the recipients
to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals or
Service requirements. Each such award shall be evidenced by one or more
documents which comply with the terms specified below.

                  A.       PURCHASE PRICE.

                           1.       The purchase price per share of Common
Stock subject to direct issuance shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator.

                           2.       Subject to the provisions of Section II of
Article Five, Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan
Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:

                                     (i) cash or check made payable to the
         Corporation, or

                                      17

<PAGE>

                                    (ii) past services rendered to the
         Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

                  B.       VESTING/ISSUANCE PROVISIONS.

                           1. The Plan Administrator may issue shares of
Common Stock which are fully and immediately vested upon issuance or which are
to vest in one or more installments over the Participant's period of Service
or upon attainment of specified performance objectives. Alternatively, the
Plan Administrator may issue share right awards which shall entitle the
recipient to receive a specified number of vested shares of Common Stock upon
the attainment of one or more performance goals or Service requirements
established by the Plan Administrator.

                           2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or
other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend)
which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to his or her
unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change
affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's
receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting
requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock
and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem
appropriate.

                           3. The Participant shall have full stockholder
rights with respect to the issued shares of Common Stock, whether or not the
Participant's interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant
shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash
dividends paid on such shares.

                           4. Should the Participant cease to remain in
Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock, or should
the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such
unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately
surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall
have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent
the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for
consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the Participant's
purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant
the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the
unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the
Participant attributable to the surrendered shares.

                           5. The Plan Administrator may waive the surrender
and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other
assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of
the Participant's Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives
applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting
of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the
waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or
after the Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or
non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.

                           6. Outstanding share right awards shall
automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be
issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals or Service
requirements established for such awards are not attained. The Plan
Administrator, however, shall have the authority to issue shares of Common
Stock in satisfaction of one or more outstanding share right awards as to
which the designated performance goals or Service requirements are not
attained.

                                      18

         II.      CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

                  A.       All of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase
rights shall terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock
subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the
event of any Change in Control, except to the extent (i) those repurchase
rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
otherwise continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the
Change in Control or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other
limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right
is issued.

                  B.       The Plan Administrator may at any time provide for
the automatic termination of one or more of those outstanding repurchase
rights and the immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to
those terminated rights upon (i) a Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over or
(ii) an Involuntary Termination of the Participant's Service within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of any Change in Control or Hostile Take-Over in which those repurchase
rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or
otherwise continue in full force and effect.

         III.     SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

                  Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion,
be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such
shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive
legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

<PAGE>

                           2. The exercise price shall be payable in one or
more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant

(10) years measured from the option grant date.

                  D.       EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be immediately
exercisable for any or all of the option shares as fully vested shares.

                  E.       CESSATION OF BOARD SERVICE. The following provisions
shall govern the exercise of any options outstanding at the time of the
Optionee's cessation of Board service:

                             (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the
         Optionee's cessation of Board service for any reason shall remain
         exercisable for a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such
         cessation of Board service, but in no event shall such option be
         exercisable after the expiration of the option term.

                            (ii) Any option exercisable in whole or in part by
         the Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently exercised by his
         or her Beneficiary.

                           (iii) Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise
         period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the
         option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested
         shares for which the option has not been exercised.

         II.      CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

                  A. In the event of any Change in Control each option shall
terminate, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to
the terms of the Change in Control. Following a Hostile Take-Over, each option
shall remain exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the
option term.

                  B. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee
shall have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation
each of his or her outstanding options. The Optionee shall in return be
entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
excess of (i) the Option Surrender Value of the shares of Common Stock at the
time subject to each surrendered option over (ii) the aggregate exercise price
payable for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5)
days following the surrender of the option to the Corporation.

                  C. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Change
in Control shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to the number and class of
securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of
such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such
Change in Control. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the exercise
price payable per share under each outstanding option, PROVIDED the aggregate
exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         I.       NO IMPAIRMENT OF AUTHORITY

                  Outstanding awards shall in no way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital
or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

         II.      FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT

                  Until the Section 12(g) Registration Date, the Corporation

by the Optionee or the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any
shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal
shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right.

         III.     FINANCING

                  The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or
Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program or the purchase price of shares issued under the Stock Issuance
Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note
payable in one or more installments. The terms of any such promissory note
(including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established
by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. In no event may the maximum
credit available to the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the
aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased
shares plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax
liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the
option exercise or share purchase.

         IV.      TAX WITHHOLDING

                  A. The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common
Stock upon the exercise of options or the issuance or vesting of such shares
under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal,
state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements.

                  B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide
any or all holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock
under the Plan with the right to use shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
all or part of the Withholding Taxes incurred by such holders in connection
with the exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right
may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:

                           STOCK WITHHOLDING:  The election to have the
Corporation withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a
portion of those shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
percentage of the Withholding Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%))
designated by the holder.

<PAGE>

                           STOCK DELIVERY:  The election to deliver to the
Corporation, at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares
vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder
(other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering
the Withholding Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the
percentage of the Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated
by the holder.

         V.       EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

                  A. The Plan became effective with respect to the
Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs immediately upon the
Plan Effective Date. The Automatic Option Grant Program shall become effective
on the Underwriting Date. Options may be granted under the Discretionary
Option Grant at any time on or after the Plan Effective Date. However, no
options granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued
under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation's stockholders.
If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after
the Plan Effective Date, then all options previously granted under this Plan
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be
granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan.

                  B. The Plan was amended on July 12, 1999 to provide that
maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan and all options
granted prior to adoption of the Plan shall not exceed 700,000 shares.

                  C. The Plan shall terminate upon the EARLIEST of (i) May 2,
2009, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all
outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control. Upon such plan
termination, all outstanding options and unvested stock issuances shall
thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions
of the documents evidencing such grants or issuances.

         VI.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

                  A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and
authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such
amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations
with respect to stock options or unvested stock issuances at the time
outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to
such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require
stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations.

                  B. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted
under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and shares of Common Stock may be
issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each instance in excess of
the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any
excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow
until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under
the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12)
months after the date the first such excess issuances are made, then (i) any
unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to
the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any
excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest
(at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were
held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and
cease to be outstanding.

         VII.     USE OF PROCEEDS

of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate
purposes.

         VIII.    REGULATORY APPROVALS

                  A. The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any stock
option under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i) upon
the exercise of any granted option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program
shall be subject to the Corporation's procurement of all approvals and permits
required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the
stock options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant
to it.

                  B. No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued
or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance
with all applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws,
including the filing and effectiveness of the Form S-8 registration statement
for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all applicable
listing requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading.

         IX.      NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

                  Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the
Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific
duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the
Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person)
or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly
reserved by each, to terminate such person's Service at any time for any
reason, with or without cause.

                        (i) If the Common Stock is at the time traded on the

         closing selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in
         question, as such price is reported on the Nasdaq National Market or
         any successor system. If there is no closing selling price for the
         Common Stock on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall

         selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in question on the
         Stock Exchange determined by the Plan Administrator to be the primary

         to the price per share at which the Common Stock is to be sold in the
         initial public offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

                       (iv) For purposes of any options made prior to the
         Underwriting Date, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by the

                       (ii) a change in the composition of the Board over a

         majority of the Board members ceases, by reason of one or more
         contested elections for Board membership, to be comprised of
         individuals who either (A) have been Board members continuously since
         the beginning of such period or (B) have been elected or nominated for
         election as Board members during

<PAGE>

         such period by at least a majority of the Board members described in
         clause (A) who were still in office at the time the Board approved

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

RECITALS

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

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

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

                  NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

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

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

                  3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised,
during Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is
designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may
be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's lifetime either as (i) a
gift to one or more family members of Optionee's Immediate Family, to a trust
in which Optionee and/or one or more such family members hold more than fifty
percent (50%) of the beneficial interest or an entity in which more than
fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Optionee and/or one
or more such family members, or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order.
The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who
acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The
terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect
for this option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth
in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate.

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

<PAGE>

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

                                     (i) Should Optionee cease to remain in
          Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or
          Misconduct) while this option is outstanding, then this option shall
          remain exercisable until the EARLIER of (i) the expiration of the
          three (3)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of
          Service or (ii) the Expiration Date.

                                     (ii) Should Optionee die while holding this
          option, then Optionee's Beneficiary shall have the right to exercise
          this option until the EARLIER of (A) the expiration of the twelve
          (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (B)
          the Expiration Date.

                                     (iii) Should Optionee cease Service by
          reason of Permanent Disability while this option is outstanding, then
          this option shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the
          expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of
          such cessation of Service or (ii) the Expiration Date.

                                     (iv) During the applicable post-Service
          exercise period, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for
          more than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is
          exercisable on the date of Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the
          expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
          Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be
          outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not
          been exercised. However, this option shall, immediately upon
          Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to
          be outstanding to the extent this option is not otherwise at that time
          exercisable for vested shares.

                                     (v) Should Optionee's Service be terminated
          for Misconduct or should Optionee engage in Misconduct while this
          option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately
          and cease to be outstanding.

                  6.       SPECIAL ACCELERATION OF OPTION.

                           (a) In the event of a Change in Control, this
option, to the extent outstanding at that time but not otherwise fully
exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall,
immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become
exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time subject to this option
and may be exercised for any or all of those Option Shares as fully-vested
shares of Common Stock. No such acceleration of this option, however, shall
occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Change
in Control, assumed or otherwise continued in full force and effect by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change
in Control or (ii) this option is replaced with a cash incentive program of
the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of
the Change in Control on the Option Shares for which this option is not
otherwise at that time exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of
those

                                       2
<PAGE>

Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and
provides for subsequent pay-out in accordance with the same option exercise
schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.

                           (b) Immediately following the consummation of the
Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding,
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof)
or otherwise expressly continued in full force and effect pursuant to the
terms of the Change in Control.

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

                           (d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the
right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise
change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve,
liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

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

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

                  9.       MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

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

                                     (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation
          a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is
          exercised.

                                     (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for
          the purchased shares in cash or check made payable to the Corporation.

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

                                       3
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                           (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the
Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or
persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. To the extent any such Option
Shares are unvested, the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed
with an appropriate legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and
may be held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest.

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

                  10.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

                           (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance

Corporation and Optionee with all applicable

                                       4
<PAGE>

requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of
any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which
the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and
issuance.

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

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

                  12. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered
to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and
addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice
required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and
addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee's signature
line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal
delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly
addressed to the party to be notified.

                  13. FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute
discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the
Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse
promissory note payable to the Corporation. The terms of any such promissory
note (including the interest rate, the requirements for collateral and the
terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its
sole discretion.

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

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

                  16. EXCESS SHARES. If the Option Shares covered by this
Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock
which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this
option shall be void with respect to those excess shares, unless stockholder
approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.

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

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

                                     (ii) No installment under this option shall
          qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to
          the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant
          Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes
          exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value
          (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common
          Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive
          Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the
          Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or
          Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year,
          exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate.
          Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be
          exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become
          exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a
          Non-Statutory Option.

                                     (iii) Should the exercisability of this
          option be accelerated upon a Change in Control, then this option shall
          qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option only to the
          extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date)
          of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes exercisable in
          the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs does not, when
          added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or
          dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this
          option or one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee
          prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option
          plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become
          exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
          Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the applicable One Hundred
          Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the calendar year
          of such Change in Control, the option may nevertheless be exercised
          for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

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

                  18. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The following provisions shall apply
upon the Optionee's commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

                                       6
<PAGE>

                                     (i) The exercise schedule in effect under
          the Grant Notice shall be frozen as of the first day of the authorized
          leave, and this option shall not become exercisable for any additional
          installments of the Option Shares during the period Optionee remains
          on such leave.

                                     (ii) Should Optionee resume active Employee
          status within sixty (60) days after the start date of the authorized
          leave, Optionee shall, for purposes of the exercise schedule set forth
          in the Grant Notice, receive Service credit for the entire period of
          such leave. If Optionee does not resume active Employee status within
          such sixty (60)-day period, then no Service credit shall be given for
          the period of such leave.

                                     (iii) If this option is designated as an
          Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, then the following additional
          provision shall apply:

                                             (A) If the leave of absence
                   continues for more than ninety (90) days, then this option
                   shall automatically convert to a Non-Statutory Option at the
                   end of the three (3)-month period measured from the
                   ninety-first (91st) day of such leave, unless Optionee's
                   reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or by written
                   agreement. Following any such conversion of this option, all
                   subsequent exercises of this option, whether effected before
                   or after Optionee's return to active Employee status, shall
                   result in an immediate taxable event, and the Corporation
                   shall be required to collect from Optionee the income and
                   employment withholding taxes applicable to such exercise.

                                     (iv) In no event shall this option become
          exercisable for any additional Option Shares or otherwise remain
          outstanding if Optionee does not resume Employee status prior to the
          Expiration Date of the option term.

                  19. MARKET LOCK-UP. In connection with any underwritten
public offering by the Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933,
including the Corporation's initial public offering, Optionee may not sell,
make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the
purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to
engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Option
Shares without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its
underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect
for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final
prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Corporation or such
underwriters. Optionee shall be required to execute such agreements as the
Corporation or the underwriters request in connection with the Market
Stand-Off.

                  20. FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS. Until such time as the Common
Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation
shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed
disposition by Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any Option Shares.
Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms
established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document
evidencing such right.
