INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into and effective as of ______________, 2000 by and
between Plumtree Software, Inc., a California corporation and, following its
reincorporation in Delaware, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
________________ (the "Indemnitee").

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and
officers the most capable persons available; WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director
or officer of the Company;

WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of
litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of
public companies in today's environment;

WHEREAS, the current Bylaws and Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
of the Company, and the Bylaws and Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to be adopted upon the consummation of the Company's
reincorporation in Delaware (collectively, the "Charter Documents") require the

full extent permitted by the California Corporations Code, as amended, and,
following the Company's reincorporation in Delaware, by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended (as applicable, the "Code") and the Indemnitee
intends to continue serving as a director or officer of the Company in part in
reliance on such Charter Documents and Code;

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee's need for substantial protection against
personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee's continued service to the
Company in an effective manner, and Indemnitee's reliance on the aforesaid
Charter Documents, and in part to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual
assurance that the protection promised by such Charter Documents will be
available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or
revocation of such Charter Documents or any change in the composition of the
Company's Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company,
the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and
the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial
or complete) permitted by law and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the
extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under
the Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance policies;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of Indemnitee continuing to
serve the Company directly or, at its request, another enterprise, and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Certain Definitions:

(a) Change in Control:  shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as
such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the total
voting power represented by the Company's then outstanding Voting Securities, or
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and
any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-
thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at
the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was
previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof,
or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of
<PAGE>

the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation
which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining
outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving
entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting
Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan
of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of transactions)
all or substantially all the Company's assets.

(b) Claim: any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, or
any inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by the Company or any other
party, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of
any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other.

(c) Expenses: include attorneys' fees and all other costs, expenses and
obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being
a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend,
be a witness in or participate in, any Claim relating to any Indemnifiable
Event.

(d) Indemnifiable Event: any event or occurrence related to the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the
Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or
by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity.

(e) Independent Legal Counsel: an attorney or firm of attorneys, selected in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3, who shall not have otherwise
performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last five years
(other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under
this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements).

(f) Reviewing Party: any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or
members of the Company's Board of Directors or any other person or body
appointed by the Board who is not a party to the particular Claim for which
Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, or Independent Legal Counsel.

(g) Voting Securities: any securities of the Company which vote generally in the
election of directors.

2. Basic Indemnification Arrangement.

(a) In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other
participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other
participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an
Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest
extent permitted by law as soon as practicable but in any event no later than
thirty days after written demand is presented to the Company, against any and
all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
(including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in
connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or
amounts paid in settlement) of such Claim. If so requested by Indemnitee, the
Company shall advance (within two business days of such request) any and all
Expenses to Indemnitee (an "Expense Advance").

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under
Section 2(a) shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall
not have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent
Legal Counsel referred to in Section 3 hereof is involved) that Indemnitee would
not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, and (ii) the obligation
of the Company to make an Expense Advance pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be
subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing
Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified
<PAGE>

under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts
theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or
thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to
secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and
Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense
Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to
which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). If there
has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the
Board of Directors, and if there has been such a Change in Control (other than a
Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Company's Board
of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control),
the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Legal Counsel referred to in
Section 3 hereof. If there has been no determination by the Reviewing Party or
if the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee substantively would not be
permitted to be indemnified in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee
shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the States of
California or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which
venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any
such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the
legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of
process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing
Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

3. Change in Control. The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control of
the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a
majority of the Company's Board of Directors who were directors immediately
prior to such Change in Control) then with respect to all matters thereafter
arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense
Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or Company By-law now or
hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the Company
shall seek legal advice only from Independent Legal Counsel selected by
Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to
the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would
be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law. The Company agrees to pay
the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to
indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys'
fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

4. Indemnification for Additional Expenses. The Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee against any and all expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, if
requested by Indemnitee, shall (within two business days of such request)
advance such expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for (i) indemnification or
advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any other
agreement or Company By-law now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for
Indemnifiable Events and/or (ii) recovery under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of whether
Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

5. Partial Indemnity, Etc.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the
Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of a Claim
but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company shall
<PAGE>

nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is
entitled. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to
the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable
Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including dismissal without
prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in
connection therewith.

6. Burden of Proof. In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party
or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not
so entitled.

7. No Presumptions. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any
claim, action, suit or proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with
or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or
its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any
particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law. In addition,
neither the failure of the Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to
whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any
particular belief, nor an actual determination by the Reviewing Party that
Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief,
prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a
judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable
law shall be a defense to Indemnitee's claim or create a presumption that
Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any
particular belief.

8. Nonexclusivity, Etc. The rights of the Indemnitee hereunder shall be in
addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Company's Bylaws or
the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise. To the extent that a change
in the Delaware General Corporation Law (whether by statute or judicial
decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded
currently under the Company's Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits so afforded by such change.

9. Liability Insurance. To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy
or policies providing directors' and officers' liability insurance, Indemnitee
shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their
terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director
or officer.

10. Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of
action shall be asserted by or in the right of the Company against Indemnitee,
Indemnitee's spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after
the expiration of two years from the date of accrual of such cause of action,
and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed
released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such two-
year period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is
otherwise applicable to any such cause of action such shorter period shall
govern.

11. Amendments, Etc. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No
waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall
constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor
shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

12. Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of
Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that
may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution
<PAGE>

of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to
enforce such rights.

13. No Duplication of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this
Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against
Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment
(under any insurance policy, By-law or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder.

14. Binding Effect, Etc. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
successors, assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal
representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether
Indemnitee continues to serve as an officer or director of the Company or of any
other enterprise at the Company's request.

15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the
event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single
section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable in any respect, and the validity and
enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining
provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired and shall remain enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in such state without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement this ____

except as provided in Section 7(k), the Committee shall have the power and
authority, without limitation:

                   (i)   to select those Eligible Recipients who shall be
     Participants;

                                       6

               (ii)   to determine whether and to what extent Options or awards
of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents or Other
Awards are to be granted hereunder to Participants;

               (iii)  to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each
Award granted hereunder;

               (iv)   to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, of each Award granted hereunder;

               (v)    to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, which shall govern all written instruments
evidencing Options or awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Dividend Equivalents or Other Awards granted hereunder;

Award issued under the Plan (and any Award Agreement relating thereto) in its
sole discretion and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

          (b)  The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without amendment
to the Plan, (i) accelerate the date on which any Option granted under the Plan
becomes exercisable, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting
exercise after termination of employment or otherwise adjust any of the terms of
such Option, and (ii) accelerate the lapse of restrictions, or waive any
condition imposed hereunder, with respect to any share of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Unit or otherwise adjust any of the terms applicable to any
such Award; provided that no action under this Section 3(b) shall adversely
affect any outstanding Award without the consent of the holder thereof.

          (c)  All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions
of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the
Company and the Participants.  No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any

                                       7
<PAGE>

officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the
Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or
interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all
members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of
the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action,
determination or interpretation.

Section 4.  Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan.

          (a)  The total number of Shares reserved and available for issuance
under the Plan shall be 10,000,000 Shares, provided, however, that on the first
day of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning in 2001) such number shall be
increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3,000,000 Shares or (ii) 3% of
the number of outstanding Shares on the last trading day of the immediately
preceding fiscal year.  Such Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of
authorized and unissued Shares or treasury shares.

          (b)  To the extent that (i) an Option expires or is otherwise
cancelled or terminated without being exercised, or (ii) any Shares subject to
any award of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents or
Other Awards are forfeited, such Shares shall again be available for issuance in
connection with future Awards granted under the Plan.  If any Shares have been
pledged as collateral for indebtedness incurred by a Participant in connection
with the exercise of an Option and such Shares are returned to the Company in
satisfaction of such indebtedness, such Shares shall again be available for
issuance in connection with future Awards granted under the Plan.

          (c)  The aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards
may be granted to any individual Optionee during any fiscal year shall not
exceed 3,000,000.

Section 5.  Equitable Adjustments; Change in Control

          (a)  In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable
substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate
number  and/or kind of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the
kind, number and/or Exercise Price of Shares or other property subject to
outstanding Options granted under the Plan, and (iii) the kind, number and/or
purchase price of Shares or other property subject to outstanding awards of
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock

                                       8
<PAGE>

Units, Dividend Equivalents and Other Awards granted under the Plan, in each
case as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Such other
equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Committee may
provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards
in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares covered by such Awards, reduced, in the case of Options, by the
exercise price thereof.

          (b)  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant
or any time thereafter, accelerate vesting and/or exercisability or provide for
the lapsing in whole or in part of any or all restrictions on vesting or
exercisability of any Award granted pursuant to this Plan in the event of a
Change in Control.

Section 6.  Eligibility.

          The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by
the Committee, in its sole discretion, from among  Eligible Recipients.  The
Committee shall have the authority to grant to any Eligible Recipient Incentive
Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock
Units, Dividend Equivalents or Other Awards, provided that directors of the
Company or any Parent or Related Company who are not employees of the Company or
of any Parent or Related Company, and consultants or advisors to the Company or
to any Parent or Related Company may not be granted Incentive Stock Options and
further provided that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to an employee
of a Related Company if such Related Company is not a Subsidiary.

Section 7.  Options.

          (a)  General.  Options may be granted alone or in addition to other
               -------
Awards granted under the Plan.  Any Option granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may from time to
time approve.  The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect
to each Participant.  Participants who are granted Options shall enter into an
Award Agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee shall determine,
which Award Agreement shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of
the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability and
vesting of the Option granted thereunder.  The Options granted under the Plan
may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock
Options.  To

                                       9
<PAGE>

the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it
shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option. More than one Option may
be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder.
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in paragraphs (b)-(j) of this Section 7 and the Award Agreement shall
contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

          (b)  Exercise Price.  The per share Exercise Price of Shares
               --------------
purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion at the time of grant but shall not, in the case of Incentive Stock
Options, be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date (110%
of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date if, on such date, the Eligible
Recipient owns (or is deemed to own under the Code) stock possessing more than
ten percent (a "Ten Percent Owner") of the total combined voting power of all
classes of Common Stock).

          (c)  Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the
               -----------
Committee, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date
such Option is granted.  If the Eligible Participant is a Ten Percent Owner, an
Incentive Stock Option may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years
from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

          (d)  Exercisability.  Options shall be exercisable at such time or
               --------------
times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of
preestablished corporate performance goals, as shall be determined by the
Committee in the Award Agreement or after the time of grant, provided that no
action under this Section 7(d) following the time of grant shall adversely
affect any outstanding Option without the consent of the holder thereof.  The
Committee may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in
installments, and the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions
at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may
determine in its sole discretion.

          The Committee may provide at the time of grant or anytime thereafter,
in its sole discretion, that any Option shall be exercisable with respect to
Shares that otherwise would not then be exercisable, provided that, in
connection with such exercise, the Optionee enters into a form of Restricted
Stock Award Agreement approved by the Committee.

                                       10
<PAGE>

          (e)     Method of Exercise.  Options may be exercised in whole or in
                  ------------------
part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number
of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate
Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as
determined by the Committee.  As determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of any
cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee, (ii) in the form of
unrestricted Shares or Restricted Stock already owned by the Optionee which, (x)
in the case of unrestricted Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have
been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender,
and (y) has a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate
option price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, provided
that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment in the
form of already owned Shares or Restricted Stock may be authorized only at the
time of grant, (iii) loans pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section 7, (iv)
any other form of consideration approved by the Committee and permitted by
applicable law or (v) any combination of the foregoing.  If payment of the
Exercise Price is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the
Shares received upon the exercise of such Option shall be restricted in
accordance with the original terms of the Restricted Stock award in question,
except that the Committee may direct that such restrictions shall apply only to
that number of Shares equal to the number of Shares surrendered upon the
exercise of such Option.

          (f)     Rights as Stockholder.  An Optionee shall have no rights to
                  ---------------------
dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares
subject to the Option until the Optionee has given written notice of exercise,
has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of Section 13
hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in paragraph
(b) of Section 14 hereof.

          (g)     Loans.  The Company or any Parent or Related Company may make
                  -----
loans available to Optionees for the payment of  the exercise price of
outstanding Options.  Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes
entered into by the Optionees in favor of the Company or any Parent or Related
Company, (ii) bear interest at the applicable federal interest rate or such
other rate as the Committee shall determine, (iii) be subject to such other
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall
determine, and (iv) be subject to Committee approval.   Unless the Committee
determines otherwise, when a loan is made, Shares having an aggregate Fair
Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged
by the Optionee to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of
the loan, and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agree-

                                       11
<PAGE>

ment, the terms of which shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion; provided that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws,
regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.

          (h)     Nontransferability of Options. The Optionee shall not be
                  -----------------------------
permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any Option other than by will and
the laws of descent and distribution (including, with respect to a Nonqualified
Stock Option only, by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in
which the Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the
Participant) and all Options shall be exercisable during the Participant's
lifetime only by the Participant, in each case, except as set forth in the
following two sentences.  During an Optionee's lifetime, the Committee may, in
its discretion, permit the transfer, assignment or other encumbrance of an
outstanding Option if such Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option or an Incentive
Stock Option that the Committee and the Participant intend to change to a
Nonqualified Stock Option.  Subject to the approval of the Committee and to any
conditions that the Committee may prescribe, an Optionee may, upon providing
written notice to the Company, elect to transfer any or all Options described in
the preceding sentence to members of his or her Immediate Family, provided that
no such transfer by any Participant may be made in exchange for consideration.

          (i)     Termination of Employment or Service.  Unless otherwise
                  ------------------------------------
provided in an Award Agreement, if an Optionee's employment with, or service as
a director, consultant or advisor to, the Company or to any Parent or Related
Company terminates for any reason other than Cause, (i) Options granted to such
Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such
termination, shall remain exercisable until the date set forth in the Award
Agreement, or such later date as is otherwise determined by the Committee, but
in no event shall such exercise period be less than 30 days after such
termination (six months in the case of termination by reason of death or
Disability), on which date they shall expire, and (ii) Options granted to such
Optionee, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such
termination, shall expire on the date of such termination.  The 30-day period
described in the preceding sentence (i) shall be extended to six months from the
date of such termination in the event of the Optionee's death or Disability
during such 30-day period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of its term.  Unless provided in an Award
Agreement or in the Committee's discretion any time thereafter, in the event of
the termination of an Optionee's

                                       12
<PAGE>

employment for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall
expire on the date of such termination.

          (j)     Limitation on Incentive Stock Options.  To the extent that the
                  -------------------------------------
aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar
year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company shall exceed
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.  Such
Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such
Incentive Stock Option is granted.

          (k)     Automatic Grants of Stock Options to Non-Employee Directors.
                  -----------------------------------------------------------
The Company shall grant Nonqualified Stock Options to non-employee directors of
the Company pursuant to this Section 7(k), which grants shall be automatic and
nondiscretionary and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Section 7(k) and the terms of the Plan ("Automatic Non-Employee Director
Options").  Upon election to the Board (or upon the Effective Date of this Plan
if already a non-employee director at that time) each non-employee director
shall be automatically granted a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase 50,000
Shares (an "Initial Option").  Commencing on the Company's first annual meeting
of stockholders immediately following the Effective Date, each non-employee
director shall be automatically granted a Nonqualified Stock Option to purchase
20,000 Shares (the "Annual Options") on the date immediately following the
Company's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, that he or she is then a
director of the Company and, provided, further, that as of such date, such
director shall have served on the Board for at least the preceeding six (6)
months.

          The term of each Automatic Non-Employee Director Option shall be five
(5) years, and the per Share Exercise Price of an Automatic Non-Employee
Director Option shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant, provided, however, in no event shall the Exercise Price of an
Automatic Non-Employee Director Option be less than the par value (if any) of
the Shares.  Each Automatic Non-Employee Director Option shall be fully vested
and immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.

          In the event that the number of Shares available for grant under the
Plan is not sufficient to accommodate the Automatic Non-Employee Director
Options, then the remaining Shares available for Automatic Non-Employee Director
Options shall be granted to non-employee directors on a pro-rata basis.

                                       13
<PAGE>

No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as additional Shares
become available for grant under the Plan through action of the Board and/or the
stockholders of the Company to increase the number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Awards previously
granted hereunder.

Section 8.  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

               (a)  General.  Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
                    -------
Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under
the Plan and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.  The Committee shall
determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which,
Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number
of Shares and/or Units to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the
Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Stock; and the Restricted Period
(as defined in Section 8(d)) applicable to awards of Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units.  The provisions of the awards of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.

               (b)  Purchase Price.  The price per Share, if any, that a
                    --------------
Participant must pay for Shares purchasable under an award of Restricted Stock
shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of
grant.

               (c)  Awards and Certificates.  The prospective recipient of an
                    -----------------------
Award of Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to any such
Award, unless and until such recipient has executed an Award Agreement
evidencing the Award and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company,
within such period as the Committee may specify after the award date. Each
Participant who is granted an award of Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock
certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock, which certificate
shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate
legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any
such Award; provided that the Company may require that the stock certificates
evidencing Restricted Stock granted hereunder be held in the custody of the
Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a
condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered
a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award.

               (d)  Nontransferability.  The Awards of Restricted Stock and
                    ------------------
Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be subject to
the

                                       14
<PAGE>

restrictions on transferability set forth in this paragraph (d). During such
period as may be set by the Committee in the Award Agreement (the "Restricted
Period"), the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or assign shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
awarded under the Plan except by will or the laws of descent and distribution;
provided that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse
of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such
restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as
the Committee may determine in its sole discretion. The Committee may also
impose such other restrictions and conditions, including the achievement of
preestablished corporate performance goals, on awarded Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units as it deems appropriate. In no event shall the Restricted
Period end with respect to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Unit Award
prior to the satisfaction by the Participant of any liability arising under
Section 13 hereof. Any attempt to dispose of any Restricted Shares in
contravention of any such restrictions shall be null and void and without
effect.

          (e)     Rights as a Stockholder.  Except as provided in Section 8(c)
                  -----------------------
or as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the Participant shall possess
all incidents of ownership with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock during the
Restricted Period, including the right to receive or reinvest dividends with
respect to such Shares and to vote such Shares.  Certificates for unrestricted
Shares shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after, and only after, the
Restricted Period shall expire without forfeiture in respect of such awards of
Restricted Stock except as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall
otherwise determine.  A Participant who is awarded Restricted Stock Units shall
possess no incidents of ownership with respect to the Units, provided that the
Award Agreement may provide for payments in lieu of dividends to such
Participant.

          (f)     Termination of Employment.  The rights of Participants granted
                  -------------------------
Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units upon termination of
employment or service as a director, consultant or advisor to the Company or to
any Parent or Related Company for any reason during the Restricted Period shall
be set forth in the Award Agreement governing such Awards.

          (g)     Loans.  In the sole discretion of the Committee, loans may be
                  -----
made to Participants in connection with the purchase of Restricted Stock under
substantially the same terms and conditions as provided in Section 7(g) of the
Plan with respect to the exercise of Options.

                                       15
<PAGE>

          (h)     Early Exercise Options.  The Committee shall award Restricted
                  ----------------------
Stock to a Participant upon the Participant's early exercise of an Option.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the lapse of restrictions with
respect to such Restricted Stock shall occur on the same schedule as the Option
for which the Restricted Stock was exercised.

Section 9.  Dividend Equivalents.

          The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible
Recipients.  The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that
Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall be
deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, or other investment
vehicles as the Committee may specify, provided that Dividend Equivalents (other
than freestanding Dividend Equivalents) shall be subject to all conditions and
restrictions of the underlying Awards to which they relate.

Section 10.  Other Awards.

          Other forms of Awards ("Other Awards") valued in whole or in part by
reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock may be granted either alone or
in addition to other Awards under the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the
persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards shall be
granted, the number of Shares to be granted pursuant to such Other Awards and
all other conditions of such Other Awards.

Section 11.  Amendment and Termination.

          The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a
Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant's
consent.  Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval
of the Company's stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval
in order to satisfy the requirements of section 162(m), section 422 of the Code,
stock exchange rules or other applicable law.  The Committee may amend the terms
of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject
to Section 5 of the Plan, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any
Participant without his or her consent.

Section 12.  Unfunded Status of Plan.

          The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive
compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the
Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights
that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

Section 13.  Withholding Taxes.

          Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award, the Company shall
have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal,
state, local and other withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever
Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the
right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and other withholding tax
requirements related thereto. With the approval of the Committee, a Participant
may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold
from delivery Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each
case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld.
Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which
the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall
be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any
portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award.

Section 14.  General Provisions.

          (a)  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award
granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Award 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 and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which
the Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

          (b)  The Committee may require each person acquiring Shares to
represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring
the Shares without a view to distribution thereof.  The certificates for such
Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect
any restrictions on transfer.

                                       17
<PAGE>

          (c)     All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee
may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law.
The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

          (d)     Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from
adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder
approval, if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.  Neither the adoption
of the Plan nor the granting of any Award to an Eligible Recipient shall confer
upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with
the Company or any Parent or Related Company, as the case may be, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Parent or Related
Company to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients
at any time.

Section 15.  Stockholder Approval; Effective Date of Plan.

          (a)     The grant of any Award hereunder shall be contingent upon
stockholder approval of the Plan being obtained within 12 months before or after
the date the Board adopts the Plan.

          (b)     Subject to the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the
Company within twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted
by the Board, the Plan shall be effective as of the consummation of the first
underwritten initial public offering of Shares of the Company (the "Effective
Date").

Section 16.  Term of Plan.

          No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend
beyond that date.

Section 17.  Governing Law.

                                       18
<PAGE>

          The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to
the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Section 18.  Other.

          Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to
foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan or to comply with the
provisions of laws in other countries in which the Company and its Related
Companies operate or have employees, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
shall have the power and authority, with respect to any Participant not residing
in the United States, to (1) modify the terms and conditions of any Awards, and
(2) establish subplans, modified option exercise procedures and other terms and
procedures to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable.
