($25,000) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 7(b) below) of such

which such option is outstanding at any time.

     4.   Offering Periods and Purchase Periods.
          -------------------------------------

          (a) Offering Periods.  The Plan shall be implemented by a series of
              ----------------
Offering Periods of approximately twenty-four (24)  months duration, with new
Offering Periods commencing on or about February 1 and August 1 of each year (or
at such other time or times as may be determined by the Board of Directors).
The first Offering Period shall commence on the beginning of the effective date
of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock (the "IPO Date") and continue until July 31, 2002.  The
                             --------
Plan shall continue until terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof.  The
Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to change the duration
and/or the frequency of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings
without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least five (5) days
prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected.

          (b) Purchase Periods.  Each Offering Period shall consist of four (4)
              ----------------
consecutive Purchase Periods of approximately six (6) months duration.  The last
day of each Purchase Period shall be the "Purchase Date" for such Purchase
                                          -------------
Period.  A Purchase Period commencing on February 1 shall end on the next July
31.  A Purchase Period commencing on August 1 shall end on the next January 31.
The first Purchase Period shall commence on the IPO Date and shall end on
January 31, 2001.  The Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power to
change the duration and/or frequency of Purchase Periods with respect to future
purchases without stockholder approval if such change is announced at least five
(5) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Purchase Period to be
affected.

     5.   Participation.
          -------------

          (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
completing a subscription agreement on the form provided by the Company and
filing it with the Company's

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

payroll office prior to the applicable Offering Date, unless a later time for
filing the subscription agreement is set by the Board for all eligible Employees
with respect to a given Offering Period. The subscription agreement shall set
forth the percentage of the participant's Compensation (subject to Section 6(a)
below) to be paid as Contributions pursuant to the Plan.

          (b) Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payroll paid
following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payroll paid on or prior
to the last Purchase Period of the Offering Period to which the subscription
agreement is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided
in Section 10.

     6.   Method of Payment of Contributions.
          ----------------------------------

          (a) A participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each
payday during the Offering Period in an amount not less than one percent (1%)
and not more than twenty percent (20%) of such participant's Compensation on
each payday during the Offering Period.  All payroll deductions made by a
participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan.  A
participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

          (b) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan
as provided in Section 10, or, on one occasion only during a Purchase Period may
increase and on one occasion only during a Purchase Period may decrease the rate
of his or her Contributions with respect to the Offering Period by completing
and filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in
the payroll deduction rate.  The change in rate shall be effective as of the
beginning of the next calendar month following the date of filing of the new
subscription agreement, if the agreement is filed at least ten (10) business
days prior to such date and, if not, as of the beginning of the next succeeding
calendar month.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b), a participant's payroll
deductions may be decreased by the Company to 0% at any time during a Purchase
Period.  Payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such
participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase
Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.  In addition, a
participant's payroll deductions may be decreased by the Company to 0% at any
time during a Purchase Period in order to avoid unnecessary payroll
contributions as a result of application of the maximum share limit set forth in
Section 7(a), or as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 3(b), in
which case payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such
participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the next Purchase
Period, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

     7.   Grant of Option.
          ---------------

          (a) On the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible
Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to
purchase on each Purchase Date a number of Shares of the Company's Common Stock
determined by dividing such Employee's Contributions accumulated prior to such
Purchase Date and retained in the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

participant's account as of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price;
provided however that the maximum number of Shares an Employee may purchase
during each Purchase Period shall be 2,700 Shares (subject to any adjustment
pursuant to Section 19 below), and provided further that such purchase shall be
subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 13.

          (b) The fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on a given
date (the "Fair Market Value") shall be determined by the Board in its
           -----------------
discretion based on the closing sales price of the Common Stock for such date
(or, in the event that the Common Stock is not traded on such date, on the
immediately preceding trading date), as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (Nasdaq) National Market or, if such
price is not reported, the mean of the bid and asked prices per share of the
Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq or, in the event the Common Stock is listed
on a stock exchange, the Fair Market Value per share shall be the closing sales
price on such exchange on such date (or, in the event that the Common Stock is
not traded on such date, on the immediately preceding trading date), as reported
in The Wall Street Journal.  For purposes of the Offering Date under the first
   -----------------------
Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common
Stock of the Company shall be the Price to Public as set forth in the final
prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule
424 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     8.   Exercise of Option.  Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as
          ------------------
provided in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of Shares will be
exercised automatically on each Purchase Date of an Offering Period, and the
maximum number of full Shares subject to the option will be purchased at the
applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions in his or her
account. No fractional Shares shall be issued.  The Shares purchased upon
exercise of an option hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to the
participant on the Purchase Date.  During his or her lifetime, a participant's
option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

     9.   Delivery.  As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date of each
          --------
Offering Period, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each participant, as
appropriate, the Shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.  No
fractional Shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a
participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be
retained in the participant's account for the subsequent Purchase Period or
Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in
Section 10 below.  Any other amounts left over in a participant's account after
a Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant.

     10.  Voluntary Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.
          -----------------------------------------------

          (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
Contributions credited to his or her account under the Plan at any time prior to
each Purchase Date by giving written notice to the Company.  All of the
participant's Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to him
or her promptly after receipt of his or her notice of withdrawal and his or her
option for the current period will be automatically terminated, and no further
Contributions for the purchase of Shares will be made during the Offering
Period.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

          (b) Upon termination of the participant's Continuous Status as an
Employee prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period for any reason,
including retirement or death, the Contributions credited to his or her account
will be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to the
person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15, and his or her option will
be automatically terminated.

          (c) In the event an Employee fails to remain in Continuous Status as
an Employee of the Company for at least twenty (20) hours per week during the
Offering Period in which the employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed
to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to his
or her account will be returned to him or her and his or her option terminated.

          (d) A participant's withdrawal from an offering will not have any
effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in a succeeding offering or in
any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company.

     11.  Automatic Withdrawal.  If the Fair Market Value of the Shares on any
          --------------------
Purchase Date of an Offering Period is less than the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the Offering Date for such Offering Period, then every participant
shall automatically (i) be withdrawn from such Offering Period at the close of
such Purchase Date and after the acquisition of Shares for such Purchase Period,
and (ii) be enrolled in the Offering Period commencing on the first business day
subsequent to such Purchase Period. Participants shall automatically be
withdrawn as of July 31, 2000 from the Offering Period beginning on the IPO Date
and re-enrolled in the Offering Period beginning on August 1, 2000 if the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the IPO Date is greater than the Fair Market Value
of the Shares on July 31, 2000, unless a participant notifies the Administrator
prior to July 31, 2000 that he or she does not wish to be withdrawn and re-
enrolled.

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

     13.  Stock.
          -----

          (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 19, the maximum
number of Shares which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be
450,000 Shares, plus an annual increase on the first day of each of the
Company's fiscal years beginning in 2001 and ending in 2010 equal to the lesser
of (i) 900,000 Shares, (ii) two (2%) percent of the Shares outstanding on the
last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) such lesser number
of Shares as is determined by the Board.  If the Board determines that, on a
given Purchase Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to
be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were
available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date of the applicable
Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan
on such Purchase Date, the Board may in its sole discretion provide (x) that the
Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares of Common Stock available
for purchase on such Offering Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as
uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole
discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and continue all
Offering Periods then in effect, or (y) that the Company shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares available for purchase on such Offering Date or
Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and
as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all
participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Purchase Date,
and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20
below. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the
Offering Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding
sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance
under the Plan by the Company's stockholders subsequent to such Offering Date.

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

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

     14.  Administration.  The Board, or a committee named by the Board, shall
          --------------
supervise and administer the Plan and shall have full power to adopt, amend and
rescind any rules deemed desirable and appropriate for the administration of the
Plan and not inconsistent with the Plan, to construe and interpret the Plan, and
to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration
of the Plan.

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

          (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under
the Plan in the event of such participant's death subsequent to the end of a
Purchase Period but prior to delivery to him or her of such Shares and cash.  In
addition, a participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is
to receive any cash from the participant's account under the Plan in the event
of such participant's death prior to the Purchase Date of an Offering Period.
If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse,
spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

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

     16.  Transferability.  Neither Contributions credited to a participant's
          ---------------
account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive
Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 15) by the participant.
Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be
without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to
withdraw funds in accordance with Section 10.

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

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

     19.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.
          ------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Adjustment.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of
              ----------
the Company, the number of Shares covered by each option under the Plan which
has not yet been exercised and the number of Shares which have been authorized
for issuance under the Plan but have not yet been placed under option
(collectively, the "Reserves"), as well as the maximum number of shares of
                    --------
Common Stock which may be purchased by a participant in a Purchase Period, the
number of shares of Common Stock set forth in Section 13(a) above, and the price
per Share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not
yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock
(including any such change in the number of Shares of Common Stock effected in
connection with a change in domicile of the Company), or any other increase or
decrease in the number of Shares 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 issue 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 subject to an option.

          (b) Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a dissolution or
              ----------------------
liquidation of the Company, any Purchase Period and Offering Period then in
progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such action,
unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
each option outstanding under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option
shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or Subsidiary of
such successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation refuses
to assume or substitute for outstanding options, each Purchase Period and
Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date
shall be set (the "New Purchase Date"), as of which date any Purchase Period and
                   -----------------
Offering Period then in progress will terminate.  The New Purchase Date shall be
on or before the date of consummation of the transaction and the Board shall
notify each participant in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New
Purchase Date, that

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

the Purchase Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Purchase
Date and that his or her option will be exercised automatically on the New
Purchase Date, unless prior to such date he or she has withdrawn from the
Offering Period as provided in Section 10.

     For purposes of this Section 19, an option granted under the Plan shall be
deemed to be assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the
stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each holder of an
option under the Plan would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the option
the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash
or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the
occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to the
transaction, the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the
option at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of
Shares covered by the option as provided for in this Section 19); provided
however that if the consideration received in the transaction is not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section
424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor
corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the
option 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 transaction.

     The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion,
also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share
of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event that the

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

          (a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend
the Plan.  Except as provided in Section 19, no such termination of the Plan may
affect options previously granted, provided that the Plan or an Offering Period
may be terminated by the Board on a Purchase Date or by the Board's setting a
new Purchase Date with respect to an Offering Period and Purchase Period then in
progress if the Board determines that termination of the Plan and/or the
Offering Period is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders or
if continuation of the Plan and/or the Offering Period would cause the Company
to incur adverse accounting charges as a result of a change after the effective
date of the Plan in the generally accepted accounting rules applicable to the
Plan.  Except as provided in Section 19 and in this Section 20, no amendment to
the Plan shall make any change in any option previously granted which adversely
affects the rights of any participant.  In addition, to the extent necessary to
comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, or under Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any applicable law or regulation), the
Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree
as so required.

          (b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected, the Board
(or its committee) shall be

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

     23.  Term of Plan; Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective upon
          ----------------------------
the IPO Date.  It shall continue in effect for a term of twenty (20) years

     4.   Administration of and Grants of Options under the Plan.
          ------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Administrator.  Except as otherwise required herein, the Plan
              -------------
shall be administered by the Board.

          (b) Procedure for Grants.  All grants of Options hereunder shall be
              --------------------
automatic and nondiscretionary and shall be made strictly in accordance with the
following provisions:

              (i)    No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside
Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of Shares to be
covered by Options granted to Outside Directors.

              (ii)   Each individual who becomes an Outside Director after the
effective date of this Plan, whether through election by the stockholders of the
Company or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy, shall be
automatically granted an Option to purchase 40,000 Shares (the "First Option").
                                                                ------------

              (iii)  Each Outside Director shall thereafter be automatically
granted an Option to purchase 10,000 Shares on the date of each Annual Meeting
of the Company's stockholders immediately following which such Outside Director
is serving on the Board, provided that, on such date, he or she shall have
served on the Board for at least six (6) months prior to the date of such Annual
Meeting (the "Annual Option").
              -------------

              (iv)   Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (ii) and
(iii) hereof, in the event that a grant would cause the number of Shares subject
to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares previously purchased upon
exercise of Options to exceed the Pool, then each such automatic grant shall be
for that number of Shares determined by dividing the total number of Shares
remaining available for grant by the number of Outside Directors receiving an
Option on the automatic grant date. Any further grants shall then be deferred
until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under
the Plan through action of the stockholders to increase the number of Shares
which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of
Options previously granted hereunder.

              (v)    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (ii) and
(iii) hereof, any grant of an Option made before the Company has obtained
stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 17 hereof shall be
conditioned upon obtaining such stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance
with Section 17 hereof.

              (vi)   The terms of each First Option granted hereunder shall be
as follows:

                     (1) the First Option shall be exercisable only while the
Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Section 9 below;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                     (2) the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the fair
market value per Share on the date of grant of the First Option, determined in
accordance with Section 8 hereof; and

                     (3) the First Option shall become vested and exercisable as
to 1/4th of the Shares subject to the Option on the 12 month anniversary of the
date of grant and as to 1/48th of the Shares subject to the Option on the first
of each month after the date of grant.

              (vii)  The terms of each Annual Option granted hereunder shall be
as follows:

                     (1) the Annual Option shall be exercisable only while the
Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as set forth in
Section 9 below;

                     (2) the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the fair
market value per Share on the date of grant of the Annual Option, determined in
accordance with Section 8 hereof; and

                     (3) the Annual Option shall become vested and exercisable
as to 1/12th of the Shares subject to the Option on the first of each month
after the date of grant.

          (c) Powers of the Board.  Subject to the provisions and restrictions
              -------------------
of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in its discretion:  (i) to
determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section
8(b) of the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (ii) to determine
the exercise price per Share of Options to be granted, which exercise price
shall be determined in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan; (iii) to interpret
the Plan; (iv) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the Plan; (v) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted
hereunder; and (vi) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan.

          (d) Effect of Board's Decision.  All decisions, determinations and
              --------------------------
interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on all Optionees and any
other holders of any Options granted under the Plan.

          (e) Suspension or Termination of Option.  If the Chief Executive
              -----------------------------------
Officer or his or her designee reasonably believes that an Optionee has
committed an act of misconduct, such officer may suspend the Optionee's right to
exercise any option pending a determination by the Board (excluding the Outside
Director accused of such misconduct).  If the Board (excluding the Outside
Director accused of such misconduct) determines an Optionee has committed an act
of embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of an obligation owed to the
Company, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company rules
resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company, or if an Optionee makes an
unauthorized disclosure of any Company trade secret or confidential information,
engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, induces any Company
customer to breach a contract with the Company or induces any principal for whom
the Company acts as agent to terminate such agency relationship, neither the
Optionee

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

nor his or her estate shall be entitled to exercise any Option whatsoever. In
making such determination, the Board of Directors (excluding the Outside
Director accused of such misconduct) shall act fairly and shall give the
Optionee an opportunity to appear and present evidence on Optionee's behalf at a
hearing before the Board or a committee of the Board.

     5.  Eligibility.  Options may be granted only to Outside Directors.  All
         -----------
Options shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in
Section 4(b) above.  An Outside Director who has been granted an Option may, if
he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options in
accordance with such provisions.

         The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor
shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company
may have to terminate his or her directorship at any time.

     6.  Term of Plan; Effective Date.  The Plan shall become effective on the
         ----------------------------
effectiveness of the registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, relating to the Company's initial public offering of securities.  It
shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated
under Section 13 of the Plan.

     7.  Term of Options.  The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from
         ---------------
the date of grant thereof unless an Option terminates sooner pursuant to Section
9 below.

     8.  Exercise Price and Consideration.
         --------------------------------

         (a) Exercise Price.  The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be
             --------------
issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of grant of the Option.

         (b) Form of Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the
             ---------------------
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall consist entirely of cash,
check, other Shares of Common Stock having a fair market value on the date of
surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the
Option shall be exercised (which, if acquired from the Company, shall have been
held more than six months), delivery of a properly executed exercise notice
together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if
applicable, shall require to effect exercise of the Option and prompt delivery
to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price,
or any combination of such methods of payment and/or any other consideration or
method of payment as shall be permitted under applicable corporate law.

     9.  Exercise of Option.
         ------------------

         (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option
             -----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times as are set forth in Section
4(b) above; provided however that no Options shall be exercisable prior to
stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 17 below has been
obtained.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

               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 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 certificate evidencing such Shares,
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall
exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the
Option. A share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued
to the Optionee as soon as practicable after 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 Continuous Status as a Director.  If an Outside
               ----------------------------------------------
Director ceases to serve as a Director, he or she may, but only within ninety
(90) days after the date he or she ceases to be a Director of the Company,
exercise his or her Option to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise
it at the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
may the Option be exercised after its term set forth in Section 7 has expired.
To the extent that such Outside Director was not entitled to exercise an Option
at the date of such termination, or does not exercise such Option (to the extent
he or she was entitled to exercise) within the time specified above, the Option
shall terminate and the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the Option
shall revert to the Plan.

          (c)  Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, in
               ----------------------
the event a Director is unable to continue his or her service as a Director with
the Company as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he or she may, but only within twelve (12)
months from the date of such termination, exercise his or her Option to the
extent he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its
term set forth in Section 7 has expired.  To the extent that he or she was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if he or she does
not exercise such Option (to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise)
within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Shares
underlying the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

          (d)  Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee (i)
               -----------------
during the term of the Option who is, at the time of his or her death, a
Director of the Company and who shall have been in Continuous Status as a
Director since the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) three (3) months after
the termination of Continuous Status as a Director, the Option may be exercised,
at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the
Optionee's

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued
at the date of death or the date of termination, as applicable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its term set forth
in Section 7 has expired. To the extent that an Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of death or termination or if he or she does not
exercise such Option (to the extent he or she was entitled to exercise) within
the time specified above, the Option shall terminate and the Shares underlying
the unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

     10.  Nontransferability of Options.  The Option may not be sold, pledged,
          -----------------------------
assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other than (a)
by will or by the laws of descent or distribution; (b) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order (as defined by the Code or the rules thereunder); (c)
by gift to the Optionee's Family; or (d) by gift or in exchange for an interest
in such entity to (i) a trust in which Optionee and/or Optionee's Family have
more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, (ii) a foundation in which
Optionee and/or Optionee's Family control the management of assets, or (iii) any
other entity in which Optionee and/or Optionee's Family own more than fifty
percent of the voting interests.  For purposes of this Section 10, Optionee's
"Family" shall include any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
 ------
grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law; daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, and any person sharing the employee's
household (other than a tenant or employee).  The designation of a beneficiary
by an Optionee does not constitute a transfer.  An Option may be exercised
during the lifetime of an Optionee only by the Optionee or a transferee
permitted by this Section.

     11.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.
          ------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Adjustment.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of
              ----------
the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding
Option, the number of Shares of Common Stock set forth in Sections 4(b)(ii) and
(iii) above, and the number of Shares of Common Stock which have been authorized
for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been granted or
which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an
Option, as well as the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each such
outstanding Option, 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 (including any such change in the number of Shares of Common
Stock effected in connection with a change in domicile of the Company) 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.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

          (b) Corporate Transactions.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction,
              ----------------------
each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be
substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of such
successor corporation, unless the successor corporation does not agree to assume
the outstanding Options or to substitute equivalent options, in which case the
Options shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction; provided
however that in the event of any transaction that qualifies as a Change of
Control and notwithstanding whether or not outstanding Options are assumed,
substituted for or terminated in connection with the transaction, the vesting of
each outstanding Option shall accelerate in full such that each Optionee shall
have the right to exercise his or her Option as to all of the Optioned Stock,
including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable,
immediately prior to consummation of the transaction.

          For purposes of this Section 11(b), an Option shall be considered
assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other
consideration upon such Corporate Transaction, each Optionee would be entitled
to receive upon exercise of an Option the same number and kind of shares of
stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as the Optionee would
have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such transaction if the
Optionee had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the
number of Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option at such time (after
giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Option
as provided for in this Section 11); provided however that if such consideration
received in the transaction 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
exercise of the Option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or
its Parent equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration
received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

          (c) Certain Distributions.  In the event of any distribution to the
              ---------------------
Company's stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (other
than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt of
consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution.

     12.  Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
          ------------------------
all purposes, be the date determined in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Outside Director to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

     13.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
          -------------------------------------

          (a) Amendment and Termination.  The Board may amend or terminate the
              -------------------------
Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable;
provided that, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3
under the Exchange Act (or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company
shall obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company to Plan amendments to
the extent and in the manner required by such law or regulation.

          (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination.  Any such amendment or
              ----------------------------------
termination of the Plan that would impair the rights of any Optionee shall not
affect Options already granted to such Optionee and such Options shall remain in
full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Board, which agreement
must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

     14.  Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Notwithstanding any other
          ----------------------------------
provision of the Plan or any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to
the Plan, the Company shall not be obligated, and shall have no liability for
failure, to issue or deliver any Shares under the Plan unless such issuance or
delivery would comply with the legal requirements relating to the administration
of stock option plans under applicable U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal
and applicable state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or Nasdaq
rules or regulations to which the Company may be subject and the applicable laws
of any other country or jurisdiction where Options are granted under the Plan,
as such laws, rules, regulations and requirements shall be in place from time to
time (the "Applicable Laws").  Such compliance shall be determined by the
           ---------------
Company in consultation with its legal counsel.

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

     15.  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.

     16.  Option Agreement.  Options shall be evidenced by written option
          ----------------
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

     17.  Stockholder Approval.  If required by the Applicable Laws, continuance
          --------------------
of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company.
Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree
required under the Applicable Laws.
