issuance under the Plan.

     (b)   The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired

Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, Directors or
Consultants.

     (b)   A Director shall in no event be eligible for the benefits of the Plan
unless at the time discretion is exercised in the selection of the Director as a
person to whom Options may be granted, or in the determination of the number of
shares which may be covered by Options granted to the Director: (i) the Board
has delegated its discretionary authority over the Plan to a Committee which
consists solely of Disinterested Persons; or (ii) the Plan otherwise complies

to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any
of its Affiliates unless the exercise price of such Option is at least one

6.   OPTION PROVISIONS.

     Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The provisions of separate
Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the
substance of each of the following provisions:

     (a)   Term. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10)
years from the date it was granted.

     (b)   Price. The exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the stock
subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of
each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the
Option is granted.

     (c)   Consideration. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an
Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statues and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii) at
the discretion of the Board or the Committee, either at the time of the grant or
exercise of the Option, (A) by delivery to the Company of other common stock of
the Company, (B) according to a deferred payment or other arrangement (which may
include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of other
common stock of the Company) with the person to whom the Option is granted or to
whom the Option is transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d), or (C) in any other
form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

     In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be payable
at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary
to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code,
of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred
payment arrangement.

     (d)   Transferability. An Option shall not be transferable except by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of the person to whom the Option is granted only by such person. A
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3 and the rules thereunder (a
"QDRO"), and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the
Option is

                                       6

<PAGE>

granted only by such person or any transferee pursuant to a QDRO. The person to
whom the Option is granted may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in
a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of
the death of the Optionee, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

     (e) Vesting. The total number of shares of stock subject to an Option may,
but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may, but need not, be
equal). The Option Agreement may provide that from time to time during each of
such installment periods, the Option may become exercisable ("vest") with
respect to some or all of the shares allotted to that period and may be
exercised with respect to some or all of the shares allotted to such period
and/or any prior period as to which the Option became vested but was not fully
exercised. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the
time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or
other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of
individual Options may vary but in each case will provide for vesting of at
least twenty percent (20%) per year of the total number of shares subject to the
Option. The provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option
provisions governing the minimum number of shares as to which an Option may be
exercised.

     (f) Securities Law Compliance. The Company may require any Optionee, or any
person to whom an Option is transferred under subsection 6(d), as a condition of
exercising any such Option, (1) to give written assurances satisfactory to the
Company as to the Optionee's knowledge and experience in financial and business
matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to
the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business
matters, and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the
purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (2)
to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person
is acquiring the stock subject to the Option for such person's own account and
not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock.
The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise of the Option has been registered under a then currently effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or (ii) as to any particular requirement, a determination is
made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may,

                                       7

<PAGE>

upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates
issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to
comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends
restricting the transfer of the stock.

     (g)  Termination of Employment or Relationship as a Director or Consultant.
In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or disability), the
Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of termination) but only within such period
of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after the
termination of the Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement),
or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan.

     (h)  Disability of Optionee. In the event an Optionee's Continuous Status
as an Employee, Director or Consultant terminates as a result of the Optionee's
disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination), but only
within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date twelve (12)
months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in
the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set
forth in the Option Agreement. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is
not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available
for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again
become available for issuance under the Plan.

     (i)  Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or
within a period specified in the Option after the termination of, the Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option may be
exercised (to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the
date of death) by the Optionee's estate, by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to

                                       8

<PAGE>

exercise the Option upon the Optionee's death pursuant to subsection 6(d), but
only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18)
months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified
in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as
set forth in the Option Agreement. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was
not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the
unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available
for issuance under the Plan. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by
such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the
Plan.

     (j)   Early Exercise. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Optionee may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or
Consultant to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares subject to
the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares so
purchased may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or to any
other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.

     (k)   Withholding. To the extent provided by the terms of an Option
Agreement, the Optionee may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding
obligation relating to the exercise of such Option by any of the following means
or by a combination of such means: (1) tendering a cash payment; (2) authorizing
the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the common stock otherwise
issuable to the participant as a result of the exercise of the Option; or (3)
delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the common stock of
the Company.

7.   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     (a)   During the terms of the Options, the Company shall keep available at
all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy such Options.

     (b)   The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the options; provided, however,
that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under Securities
Act either the Plan, any Option or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any
such Option. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from
any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the

                                       9

<PAGE>

Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of stock under the
Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and
sell stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until such authority is
obtained.

8.   USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

     Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Options shall constitute
general funds of the Company.

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)  The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an
Option may first be exercised or the time during which an Option or any part
thereof will vest pursuant to subsection 6(e), notwithstanding the provisions in
the Option stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time
during which it will vest.

     (b)  Neither an Optionee nor any person to whom an Option is transferred
under subsection 6(d) shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the
rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to such Option unless and
until such person has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option
pursuant to its terms.

     (c)  Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Option granted
pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director, Consultant or
Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate (or
to continue acting as a Director or Consultant) or shall affect the right of the
Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or relationship as a
Director or Consultant of any Employee, Director, Consultant or Optionee with or
without cause.

     (d)  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted
after 1986 are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any
calendar year under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which
exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be
treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

     (e)  The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any
time and from time to time (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options under
the Plan and/or (ii) with the

                                       10

<PAGE>

consent of the affected holders of Options, the cancellation of any outstanding
Options and the grant in substitution therefor of new Options under the Plan
covering the same or different numbers of shares of Common Stock, but having an
exercise price per share not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value (in the case of an Incentive Stock Option one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value unless the holder thereof is a ten percent (10%)
stockholder (as defined in subsection 5(c)), in which case not less than one
hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value) per share of Common
Stock on the new grant date.

10.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

     (a)  If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any Option (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization,
stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating
dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate
structure or otherwise), the Plan and outstanding Options will be appropriately
adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of shares subject to the Plan and
the class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock subject to
outstanding Options.

     (b)  In the event of: (1) a dissolution, liquidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company; (2) a merger or consolidation in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or (3) a reverse merger in
which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Company's
common stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by
virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities,
cash or otherwise, then to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) any
surviving corporation shall assume any Options outstanding under the Plan or
shall substitute similar Options for those outstanding under the Plan, or (ii)
such Options shall continue in full force and effect. In the event any surviving
corporation refuses to assume or continue such Options, or to substitute similar
options for those outstanding under the Plan, then, with respect to Options held
by persons then performing services as Employees, Directors or Consultants, the
time during which such Options may be exercised shall be accelerated and the
Options terminated if not exercised prior to such event.

          2.2 Add-back of Options and Other Rights. If any Option, or other
              ------------------------------------
right to acquire shares of Common Stock under any other Award under the Plan,
expires or is canceled without having been fully exercised, or is exercised in
whole or in part for cash as permitted by the Plan, the number of shares subject
to such Option or other right but as to which such Option or other right was not
exercised prior to its expiration, cancellation or exercise may again be
optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Section
2.1. Furthermore, any shares subject to Awards which are adjusted pursuant to
Section 11.3 and become exercisable with respect to shares of stock of another
corporation shall be considered cancelled and may again be optioned, granted or
awarded hereunder, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1. Shares of Common
Stock which are delivered by the Holder or withheld by the Company upon the
exercise of any Award under the Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof
or tax withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder,
subject to the limitations of Section 2.1. If any shares of Restricted Stock are
surrendered by the Holder or repurchased by the Company pursuant to Section 7.4
or 7.5 hereof, such shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder,
subject to the limitations of Section 2.1. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 2.2, no shares of Common Stock may again be optioned, granted or
awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify
as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

          3.1 Award Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award
              ---------------
Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Awards intended to qualify as

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

          (a) The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether an Award
is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section
162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the
Committee may grant any Award to a Section 162(m) Participant, including

attainment of performance goals which are related to one or more of the
Performance Criteria and any performance or incentive award described in Article
VIII that vests or becomes exercisable or payable upon the attainment of

          (c) To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based
compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to
any Award granted under Articles VII and VIII which may be granted to one or
more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the
commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal
period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted
by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (i)

                                       7

<PAGE>

designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (ii) select the
Performance Criteria applicable to the fiscal year or other designated fiscal

period or period of service, and (iv) specify the relationship between

service, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable
performance targets have been achieved for such fiscal year or other designated
fiscal period or period of service. In determining the amount earned by a
Section 162(m) Participant, the Committee shall have the right to reduce (but
not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into
account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the
assessment of individual or corporate performance for the fiscal year or other
designated fiscal period or period of service.

          (d) Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
any Award which is granted to a Section 162(m) Participant and is intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C)
of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section
162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or

qualification as performance-based compensation as described in Section
162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such requirements.

awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to
such applicable exemptive rule.

          3.4 Consideration. In consideration of the granting of an Award under
              -------------
the Plan, the Holder shall agree, in the Award Agreement, to remain in the
employ of (or to consult for or to serve as an Independent Director of, as
applicable) the Company or any Subsidiary for a period of at least one year (or
such shorter period as may be fixed in the Award Agreement or by action of the
Administrator following grant of the Award) after the Award is granted (or, in
the case of an Independent Director, until the next annual meeting of
stockholders of the Company).

          3.5 At-Will Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement
              ------------------
hereunder shall confer upon any Holder any right to continue in the employ of,

Company, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the
Company and any Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge
any Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause,

in which they were granted. For purposes

under the Award Agreement immediately upon a Termination of Employment or, if
applicable, upon a Termination of Consultancy between the Holder and the

such Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the Committee in its sole and
                       --------  -------
absolute discretion may provide that no such right of repurchase shall exist in
the event of a Termination of Employment following a "change of ownership or

shall make appropriate reference to the conditions imposed thereby.

          7.8 Section 83(b) Election. If a Holder makes an election under
              ----------------------
Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor section thereto, to be taxed with

          9.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may
              ----------------------------------
be granted to any Employee or Consultant selected by the Committee. A Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted (a) in connection and simultaneously with the
grant of an Option, (b) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (c)
independent of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such
terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall

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

          (a) A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right ("CSAR") shall be related to a
                                                   ----
particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the
related Option is exercisable.

exercise the Option pursuant to the Plan) to surrender to the Company
unexercised a portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent
then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in
exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by
subtracting the Option exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of
Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject
to any limitations the Committee may impose.

          9.3 Independent Stock Appreciation Rights.
              -------------------------------------

          (a) An Independent Stock Appreciation Right ("ISAR") shall be
                                                        ----
unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee. An ISAR
shall be exercisable in such installments as the Committee may determine. An
ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Committee may
determine; provided, however, that unless the Committee otherwise provides in
           --------  -------
the terms of the ISAR or otherwise, no ISAR granted to a person subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exercisable until at least six months
have elapsed from (but excluding) the date on which the Option was granted. The
exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by
the Committee. An ISAR is exercisable only while the Holder is an Employee or
Consultant; provided, that the Committee may determine that the ISAR may be
            --------
exercised subsequent to Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy
without cause, or following a Change of Control of the Company, or because of
the Holder's retirement, death or disability, or otherwise.

          (b) An ISAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to
exercise the ISAR pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion
of the ISAR (to the extent then

                                       19

<PAGE>

exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount
determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise
price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any
limitations the Committee may impose.

          9.4  Payment and Limitations on Exercise.
               -----------------------------------

          (a)  Payment of the amounts determined under Section 9.2(c) and 9.3(b)
above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of
the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as
determined by the Committee. To the extent such payment is effected in Common
Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 6.3
above pertaining to Options.

          (b)  Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply
with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise
of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be
imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

Agreement are not affected adversely. Any such grant or award under the Plan
need not be the same with respect to each Holder. Any such interpretations and

liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with

shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any such action,
determination or interpretation.

before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator
may, except as provided in Section 11.3, increase the limits imposed in Section
2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan. No
amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of
the Holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award
theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so
provides. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or
after termination of the Plan, and in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be
granted under the Plan after the first to occur of the following events:

           (a)  The expiration of 10 years from the date the Plan is adopted by
the Board; or

           (b)  The expiration of 10 years from the date the Plan is approved by
the Company's stockholders under Section 11.4.

           11.3 Changes in Common Stock or Assets of the Company, Acquisition or
                ----------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidation of the Company and Other Corporate Events.
-----------------------------------------------------

           (a)  Subject to Section 11.3(e), in the event that the Administrator
determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash,
Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation,
dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or
other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar
corporate transaction or event, in the Administrator's sole discretion, affects
the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to
be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect
to an Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem
equitable, adjust any or all of:

                (i)    The number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 2.1 on
the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the
Award Limit);

                (ii)   The number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and

                (iii)  The grant or exercise price with respect to any Award.

           (b)  Subject to Sections 11.3(c) and 11.3(e), in the event of any
transaction or event described in Section 11.3(a) or any unusual or nonrecurring
transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or
the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Administrator, in its
sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems

                                       23

<PAGE>

appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to
the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the
Holder's request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following
actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under
the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such
changes in laws, regulations or principles:

                (i)    To provide for either the purchase of any such Award for
an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the
exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder's rights had such Award been
currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such
Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole
discretion;
                (ii)   To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or
become payable after such event;

                (iii)  To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all
shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.3
or 5.4 or the provisions of such Award;

                (iv)   To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted
for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or
survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate
adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

                (v)    To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of
Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards,
and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock
and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price),
and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and
options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future; and

                (vi)   To provide that, for a specified period of time prior to
such event, the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all
shares of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock may be terminated, and, in the case
of Restricted Stock, some or all shares of such Restricted Stock may cease to be
subject to repurchase under Section 7.5 or forfeiture under Section 7.4 after
such event.

           (c)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of
a Change of Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent
award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the
successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to
assume or substitute for the Award, if applicable for the Award, the Holder
shall have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the Common Stock
underlying the Award, including shares as to which it would not otherwise be
exercisable. As applicable, if an Award is exercisable in lieu of assumption or
substitution in the event of a merger or sale of

                                       24

<PAGE>

assets, the Administrator shall notify the Holder that the Award shall be
fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, and the
Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of
this Section 11.3(c), the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the
merger or sale of assets, the award confers the right to purchase or receive,
for each share of awarded stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the
merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of
Common Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and
if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration
chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided,
                                                                --------
however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was
-------
not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the
Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for
the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award (if applicable),
for each share of awarded stock subject to the Award, to be solely common stock
of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per
share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

           (d)  Subject to Sections 11.3(e), 3.2 and 3.3, the Administrator may,
in its discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award,
agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of
the Company.

           (e)  With respect to Awards which are granted to Section 162(m)
Participants and are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under
Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 11.3 or
in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such
adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify under Section
162(m)(4)(C), or any successor provisions thereto. No adjustment or action
described in this Section 11.3 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be
authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to
violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action
shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in
short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive
conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is
not to comply with such exemptive conditions. The number of shares of Common
Stock subject to any Award shall always be rounded to the next whole number.

           (f)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company
becomes a party to a transaction that is intended to qualify for "pooling of
interests" accounting treatment and, but for one or more of the provisions of
this Plan or any Award Agreement would so qualify, then this Plan and any Award
Agreement shall be interpreted so as to preserve such accounting treatment, and
to the extent that any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement would
disqualify the transaction from pooling of interests accounting treatment
(including, if applicable, an entire Award Agreement), then such provision shall
be null and void. All determinations to be made in connection with the preceding
sentence shall be made by the independent accounting firm whose opinion with
respect to "pooling of interests" treatment is required as a condition to the
Company's consummation of such transaction.

           (g)  The existence of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Awards
granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of
the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any
adjustment, recapitalization,

                                       25

<PAGE>

reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its
business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of
options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred
or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common
Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

                11.4  Approval of Plan by Stockholders. The Plan will be
                      --------------------------------
submitted for the approval of the Company's stockholders within 12 months after
the date of the Board's initial adoption of the Plan. Awards may be granted or
awarded prior to such stockholder approval, provided that such Awards shall not
be exercisable nor shall such Awards vest prior to the time when the Plan is
approved by the stockholders, and provided further that if such approval has not
been obtained at the end of said twelve-month period, all Awards previously
granted or awarded under the Plan shall thereupon be canceled and become null
and void. In addition, if the Board determines that Awards other than Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights which may be granted to Section 162(m) Participants
should continue to be eligible to qualify as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the Performance Criteria must be
disclosed to and approved by the Company's stockholders no later than the first
stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which
the Company's stockholders previously approved the Performance Criteria.

                11.5  Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require
                      ---------------
payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of
any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect
to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award. The Administrator
may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow
such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock
otherwise issuable under such Award (or allow the return of shares of Common
Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or
payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Holder of such Award
within six months after such shares of Common Stock were acquired by the Holder
from the Company) in order to satisfy the Holder's federal and state income and
payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or
payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair
Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate
amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for
federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to
such supplemental taxable income.

                11.6  Loans. The Committee may, in its discretion, extend one or
                      -----
more loans to Employees, Consultants or Directors in connection with the
exercise or receipt of an Award granted or awarded under the Plan, or the
issuance of Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock awarded under the Plan. The terms
and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Committee.

                11.7  Forfeiture Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority
                      ---------------------
to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the
Administrator shall have the right

                                       26

<PAGE>

to provide, in the terms of Awards made under the Plan, or to require a Holder
to agree by separate written instrument, that (a)(i) any proceeds, gains or
other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon
any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any
Common Stock underlying the Award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the
Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or not
vested) shall be forfeited, if (b)(i) a Termination of Employment, Termination
of Consultancy or Termination of Directorship occurs prior to a specified date,
or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or
(ii) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any
activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or
harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator
or (iii) the Holder incurs a Termination of Employment, Termination of
Consultancy or Termination of Directorship for "cause" (as such term is defined
in an Award Agreement between the Company and the Holder).

                11.8   Effect of Plan Upon Options and Compensation Plans. The
                       -------------------------------------------------
adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans
in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan shall be
construed to limit the right of the Company (a) to establish any other forms of
incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or
awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate
purpose including but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of
options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

                11.9   Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting
                       --------------------
of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock
and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded
hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws,
rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities
law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing,
regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities
delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person
acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such
assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary
or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded
hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
laws, rules and regulations.

                11.10  Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only
                       ------
and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.

                11.11  Governing Law. The Plan and any agreements hereunder
                       -------------
shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the
State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof.
