                  4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

                  (a) PROCEDURE.

                  (i) ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
With respect to grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to Employees who are
also officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A)
the Board if the Board may administer the Plan in compliance with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto ("Rule 16b-3") with
respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan, or (B)
a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee
shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to comply with Rule
16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary
plan. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated
capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time the Board may
increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof,
remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution
therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of the
Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as
a discretionary plan.

                  (ii) MULTIPLE ADMINISTRATIVE BODIES. If permitted by Rule
16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to
directors, non-director officers and Employees who are neither directors nor
officers.

                  (iii) ADMINISTRATION WITH RESPECT TO CONSULTANTS AND OTHER
EMPLOYEES. With respect to grants of Options or Stock Purchase Rights to
Employees or Consultants who are neither directors nor officers of the Company,
the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by
the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy
the legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option
plans, if any, of California corporate and securities laws and of the Code (the
"Applicable Laws"). Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in
its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time
the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members
thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in
substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove all members of
the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent
permitted by the Applicable Laws.

                  (b) POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion:

                  (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, in
         accordance with Section 2(j) of the Plan;

                  (ii) to select the officers, Consultants and Employees to whom
         Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted
         hereunder;

                  (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Options and
         Stock Purchase Rights or any combination thereof, are granted
         hereunder;

                  (iv) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
         covered by each such award granted hereunder;

                  (v)  to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

                  (vi) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
         with the terms of the Plan, of any award granted hereunder (including,
         but not limited to the share price and any restriction or limitation,
         based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall
         determine, in its sole discretion);

                  (vii) to determine the terms and restrictions applicable to
         Stock Purchase Rights and the Restricted Stock purchased by exercising
         such Stock Purchase Rights; and

                  (viii) to make any other such determinations with respect to
         awards under the Plan as it shall deem appropriate.

                  (c) EFFECT OF COMMITTEE'S DECISION. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and Purchasers and any other holders of any Options or
Rights.

                  5.       ELIGIBILITY FOR OPTIONS.

                  (a) Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees and
Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise
eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

                  (b) Each Option shall be designated in the written option
agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options.

                  (c) For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options
shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the
Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such Shares is granted.

                  (d) The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right or the Company's right
to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or
without cause.

                  6. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by
the shareholders of the Company as described in Section 19 of the Plan. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under
Section 15 of the Plan.

                  7. TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be the term
stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any Stock
Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.
However, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

                  8. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

                  (a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued
pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Board, but shall be subject to the following:

                  (i)  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

                  (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of the grant of
         such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten
         percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
         Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall
         be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
         grant.

                  (B) granted to any Employee, the per Share exercise price
         shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
         date of grant.

                  (ii) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

                  (A) granted to a person who, at the time of the grant of such
         Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the
         voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
         Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
         the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant.

                  (B) granted to any person, the per Share exercise price shall
         be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
         grant.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

                  (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined
by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii)
check, (iii) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise
of an Option either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on
the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the
aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be
exercised, (iv) authorization for the Company to retain from the total number of
Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (v) delivery of a properly
executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to
pay the exercise price, (vi) by delivering an irrevocable subscription agreement
for the Shares which irrevocably obligates the option holder to take and pay for
the Shares not more than twelve months after the date of delivery of the
subscription agreement, (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment, (viii) or such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws. In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Board shall
consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company (Section 409 of the California General Corporation Law).

                  9. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

                  (a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as determined by the Board, including performance criteria with
respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under
the terms of the Plan.

                  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

                  An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice
of such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of
the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for
the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by
the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Board, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to
be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 11 of the Plan.

                  Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease
in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of
the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

                  (b) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of termination of
an Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee with
the Company (as the case may be), such Optionee may, but only within ninety (90)
days after the date of such termination (or such other period as is set out by
the Administrator in the Option Agreement, but in no event later than the
expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee
does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (c) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Consulting
relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his disability
(as determined by the Board in accordance with the policies of the Company),
Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the date of such termination
(or such other longer period as is set out by the Administrator in the Option
Agreement, but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent
otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent
that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                  (d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an
Optionee, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's
estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

or inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of death. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise
such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate.

                  (e) RULE 16b-3. Options granted to persons subject to Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act must comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such
additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify
for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to
Plan transactions.

                  10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. The Option may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

                  11. STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.

                  (a) RIGHTS TO PURCHASE RESTRICTED STOCK. Stock Purchase Rights
may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards
granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the
Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the
Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing of the terms, conditions and
restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such
person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within
which such person must accept such offer, which shall in no event exceed
one-hundred twenty (120) days from the date of grant of the Stock Purchase
Right. For these purposes, the price to be paid shall be no less than 85% of
fair market value on the date of grant of the Stock Purchase Right or, in the
case of a greater than 10% shareholder, no less than 100% of the fair market
value on the date of grant. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a
Restricted Stock agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. Shares
purchased pursuant to the grant of a Stock Purchase Right shall be referred to
herein as "Restricted Stock."

                  (b) REPURCHASE OPTION. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the
Purchaser's employment with the Company for any reason (including death or
Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock agreement shall be the original price paid by the Purchaser and
may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

Company. The repurchase option with respect to the Restricted Stock shall
lapse at such rate as the Committee may determine, but in no event as to less
than 20% of the total shares granted annually.

                  (c) OTHER PROVISIONS. The Restricted Stock agreement shall
contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In
addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock agreements need not be the same
with respect to each purchaser.

                  (d) RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Once the Stock Purchase Right is
exercised, the Purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a
shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon
the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to
the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13
of the Plan.

                  12. STOCK WITHHOLDING TO SATISFY WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS.
At the discretion of the Administrator, Optionees or Purchasers may satisfy
withholding obligations as provided in this paragraph. When an Optionee or
Purchaser incurs tax liability in connection with an Option or Stock Purchase
Right, which tax liability is subject to tax withholding under applicable tax
laws, and the Optionee or Purchaser is obligated to pay the Company an amount
required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Optionee or Purchaser may
satisfy the withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold
from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option, or the Shares to be
issued in connection with the Stock Purchase Right, if any, that number of
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.
The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the
date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").

                  All elections by an Optionee or Purchaser to have Shares
withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the
Administrator and shall be subject to the following restrictions:

                  (a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable
Tax Date;

                  (b) once made, the election shall be irrevocable as to the
particular Shares of the Option or Right as to which the election is made;

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

                  (c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or
disapproval of the Administrator;

                  (d) if the Optionee is subject to Rule 16b-3, the election
must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 and shall be subject to
such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to
qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with
respect to Plan transactions.

                  In the event the election to have Shares withheld is made by
an Optionee or Purchaser and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the
Code because no election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee
or Purchaser shall receive the full number of Shares with respect to which the
Option or Stock Purchase Right is exercised but such Optionee or Purchaser shall
be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of
Shares on the Tax Date.

                  13. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER.
Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of
shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase
Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for
issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have
yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per share
of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right,
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any
other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however,
that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed
to have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall
be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final,
binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject
to an Option or Stock Purchase Right.

                  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or of a merger in which the successor corporation does not agree to
assume the Option or Stock Purchase Right or substitute an equivalent Option

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

or Stock Purchase Right, the Board shall notify Optionees and Purchasers at
least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has
not been previously exercised, the Option or Stock Purchase Right will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

                  14. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option
shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the
Board. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant
to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

                  15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

                  (a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration,
suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any
Optionee or Purchaser under any grant theretofore made, without his or her
consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule
16b-3 under the Exchange Act or with Section 422 of the Code (or any other
applicable law or regulation, including the requirements of the NASD or an
established stock exchange), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of
any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

                  (b) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options and Stock Purchase Rights
already granted and such Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall remain in full
force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee or Purchaser and the Board, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee or Purchaser and the
Company.

                  16. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the
exercise of such Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of
such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law,
including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect
to such compliance.

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

                  As a condition to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase
Right, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock
Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that
the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present
intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for
the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned
relevant provisions of law.

                  17. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of
this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

                  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or
sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been
obtained.
                  18. AGREEMENTS. Options and Stock Purchase Rights shall be
evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Board shall approve from
time to time.

                  19. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Continuance of the Plan shall be
subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months
before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be
obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal
law.

                  20. INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES. The Company shall provide to
each Optionee, during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options
outstanding, annual financial statements of the Company. The Company shall not
be required to provide such information if the issuance of Options under the
Plan is limited to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company
assure their access to equivalent information.

provided in Section 4.1 has been increased at any time, all Incentive Stock
Options shall be granted, if at all, no later than the last day preceding the
tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date on which the latest such

day preceding the date of grant on which such price is reported) as quoted on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (or
the average of the closing bid and asked prices if the shares of Stock are so
quoted instead), or as reported on such other stock exchange or market system
which constitutes the primary market for the Stock, and (iii) each such Option
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the appropriate standard form of
Option Agreement approved by the Board and shall conform to the provisions of
the Plan and such other guidelines as shall be established from time to time by

                                       4
<PAGE>

extent consistent with the Plan and applicable law.

                  3.3 COMMITTEE COMPLYING WITH SECTION 162(m). If a
Participating Company is a "publicly held corporation" within the meaning of
Section 162(m), the Board may establish a Committee of "outside directors"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) to approve the grant of any Option which
might reasonably be anticipated to result in the payment of employee
remuneration that would otherwise exceed the limit on employee remuneration
deductible for income tax purposes pursuant to Section 162(m).

         4.       SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.

                  4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be five million (5,000,000) and shall consist
of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination
thereof. If any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or
canceled or shares of Stock acquired, subject to repurchase, upon the exercise
of an Option are repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to
the unexercised portion of such Option, or such repurchased shares of Stock,
shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

                  4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event
of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares
subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the exercise price per
share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the
same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged
for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an
Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another corporation
(the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to
provide that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any
such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per
share of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable
manner as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this
Section 4.2 shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, as
determined by the Board, and in no event may the exercise price of any Option be
decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to
the Option. The adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2
shall be final, binding and conclusive.

         5.       ELIGIBILITY AND OPTION LIMITATIONS.

                  5.1 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR OPTIONS. Options may be granted only
to Employees, Consultants, and Directors. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, "Employees" shall include prospective Employees to whom Options are
granted in connection with written offers of employment with the Participating
Company Group, and "Consultants" shall include prospective Consultants to whom
Options are granted in connection with written offers of engagement with the
Participating Company Group. Eligible persons may be granted more than one (1)
Option.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  5.2 OPTION GRANT RESTRICTIONS. Any person who is not an
Employee on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be
granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option granted to a
prospective Employee upon the condition that such person become an Employee
shall be deemed granted effective on the date such person commences service with
a Participating Company, with an exercise price determined as of such date in
accordance with Section 6.1.

                  5.3 FAIR MARKET VALUE LIMITATION. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of stock with respect to which options designated as
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable by an Optionee for the first time during
any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Participating Company
Group, including the Plan) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the
portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as
Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 5.3, options designated
as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which
they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of
the time the option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is
amended to provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this
Section 5.3, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein
effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or
permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive
Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the
limitation set forth in this Section 5.3, the Optionee may designate which
portion of such Option the Optionee is exercising and may request that separate
certificates representing each such portion be issued upon the exercise of the
Option. In the absence of such designation, the Optionee shall be deemed to have
exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first.

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

                  6.1 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price for each Option shall
be established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (a)
the exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less
than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of
the Option, (b) the exercise price per share for a Nonstatutory Stock Option
shall be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a
share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (c) no Incentive
Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall have an exercise
price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the
minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an
assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the
provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

                  6.2 EXERCISE PERIOD. Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions,
performance criteria, and

                                       6
<PAGE>

restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the Option
Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Incentive Stock
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the
effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to
a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five
(5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, and (c) no Option
granted to a prospective Employee or prospective Consultant may become
exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences service with a
Participating Company.

                  6.3      PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

                           (a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as
otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by
check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of Stock
owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company
without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock
by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter
for the Company) not less than the exercise price, (iii) by the assignment of
the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being
acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through
an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from
time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a
"CASHLESS EXERCISE"), (iv) by the Optionee's promissory note in a form approved
by the Company, (v) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board
from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any
combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by adoption
of or by amendment to the standard forms of Option Agreement described in
Section 7, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the
foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or
which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

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

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

                           (d) PAYMENT BY PROMISSORY NOTE. No promissory note
shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note would be
a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such terms as
the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board shall
have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory
note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired upon the
exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the Company.
Unless otherwise

                                       7

provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is subject to the regulations
promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other
governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the
Company's securities, any promissory note shall comply with such applicable
regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued
interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable
regulations.

                  6.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of
an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of whole
shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal
to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any,
required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect
to such Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively
or in addition, in its sole discretion, the Company shall have the right to
require the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise,
including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate provision for any
such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in
connection with the Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. The
Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares
of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to the Option Agreement until the
Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by
the Optionee.

         7.       STANDARD FORMS OF OPTION AGREEMENT.

                  7.1 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided by the
Board at the time the Option is granted, an Option designated as an "Incentive
Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the form of Immediately Exercisable Incentive Stock Option Agreement
adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended
from time to time.

                  7.2 NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided by
the Board at the time the Option is granted, an Option designated as a
"Nonstatutory Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the form of Immediately Exercisable Nonstatutory Stock
Option Agreement adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan
and as amended from time to time.

                  7.3 STANDARD TERM OF OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.2 or by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted
hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant
of the Option.

                  7.4 AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the
authority from time to time to vary the terms of any of the standard forms of
Option Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant
or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of
a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions
of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement
are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Such authority shall include,
but not by way of limitation, the authority to grant Options which are not
immediately exercisable.

         8.       TRANSFER OF CONTROL.

                  8.1      DEFINITIONS.

                           (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to
have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:

                                    (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange
in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company
of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company;

                                    (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party;

                                    (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

                                    (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company.

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

                  8.2 EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF CONTROL ON OPTIONS. In the event of
a Transfer of Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING
CORPORATION"), may either assume the Company's rights and obligations under
outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options substantially
equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock. Any Options which are
neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection
with the Transfer of Control nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of
Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of
the Transfer of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option prior to the Transfer of Control and any consideration
received pursuant to the Transfer of Control with respect to such shares shall
continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement
evidencing such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of
which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an Ownership
Change Event described in Section 8.1(a)(i) constituting a Transfer of Control
is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership
Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of
its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that
are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the
Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the
outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in
its sole discretion.

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

         10. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee,
an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian
or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the
Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

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

         12. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may terminate or
amend the Plan at any time. However, subject to changes in the law or other
legal requirements that would permit otherwise, without the approval of the
Company's stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except
by operation of the provisions of Section 4.2), (b) no change in the class of
persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no expansion in
the class of persons eligible to receive Nonstatutory Stock Options. In any
event, no termination or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then
outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of
the Optionee, unless such termination or amendment is required to enable an
Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option or is necessary to comply with any applicable law or government
regulation.

         13. CONTINUATION OF INITIAL PLAN AS TO OUTSTANDING OPTIONS. Any
other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the terms of
the Initial Plan shall remain in effect and apply to all Options granted
pursuant to the Initial Plan.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies
that the foregoing Puma Technology, Inc. Amended and Restated 1993 Stock
Option Plan was duly adopted by the Board on August __, 1996 and amended by
the Board on February 22, 2000.

                                                 Secretary
