                                          (As Amended and Restated Through March 28, 2001)

                                                            ARTICLE One

                                                         GENERAL PROVISIONS

I.      PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

                  This 1995 Stock Option Plan is intended to promote the interests of FileNET Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation,
by providing  eligible  persons with the  opportunity to acquire a proprietary  interest,  or otherwise  increase their  proprietary
interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.

                  This Plan shall serve as the successor to the  Corporation's  existing  Second  Amended and Restated  Stock Option
Plan (the  "Predecessor  Plan"),  and no further option grants or share issuances shall be made under the Predecessor  Plan from and
after the Effective  Date of this Plan.  All  outstanding  stock options under the  Predecessor  Plan on the Effective Date shall be
incorporated  into this Plan and shall  accordingly  be  treated as  outstanding  stock  options  under  this  Plan.  However,  each
outstanding  option grant so incorporated  shall continue to be governed solely by the express terms and conditions of the agreement
evidencing  such grant,  and no provision of this Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise  modify the rights or  obligations  of
the  holders  of such  incorporated  options  with  respect  to their  acquisition  of  shares  of the  Corporation's  Common  Stock
thereunder.

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

                  All share numbers in this restatement reflect the 2-for-1 split of the Common Stock effected June 12, 1998.

II.     STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

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

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

                -   the Salary Reduction Option Grant Program under which eligible employees may elect to have a portion of their
                    base salary reduced each year in return for options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

                -   the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be
                    issued shares of Common Stock directly without any intervening option grant,



                -   the Automatic Option Grant Program under which  eligible non-employee Board members shall automatically receive
                    option grants at periodic intervals to purchase shares of Common Stock, and

                -   the  Director Fee Option Grant Program under which non-employee Board members may elect to have all or any
                    portion of their annual retainer fee otherwise payable in cash applied to a special option grant.

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

III.    ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

        A.   The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to administer the Discretionary Option Grant and
             Stock Issuance Programs with respect to Section 16 Insiders.  Except to the extent the Primary Committee is granted
             sole and  exclusive authority under one or more specific provisions of the Plan, administration of the Discretionary
             Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in these programs
             may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in the Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain
             the power to administer these programs with respect to such persons.  The members of the Secondary Committee may be
             individuals who are Employees.

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

        C.   Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and
             authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate
             for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations
             under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of such programs and any outstanding options or stock
             issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of
             its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the
             Discretionary Option Grant or Stock Issuance Program under its jurisdiction or any option or stock issuance thereunder.

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

        E.   The  Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority  to select the eligible individuals who are to
             participate in the Salary Reduction Option Grant Program,  but all option grants under the Salary Reduction Option

                                                                              2


             Grant Program shall be made in accordance with express terms of that program and the Primary Committee shall exercise
             no discretion with respect to the terms of those grants.  Administration of the Automatic Option Grant and Director Fee
             Option Grant Programs shall be self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and no Plan Administrator
             shall exercise any discretionary functions with respect to any option grants or stock issuances made under those
             programs.

IV.     ELIGIBILITY

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

             (i)   Employees,

            (ii)   non-employee Board members, and

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

        B.   Only the Company's executive officers and other highly-compensated Employees shall be eligible to participate in the
             Salary Reduction Option Grant Program.

        C.   Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority
             to determine, (i) with respect to the option  grants under the  Discretionary  Option Grant  Program, which  eligible
             persons are to receive option grants, the time or times when such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to
             be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Qualified
             Option,  the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the
             option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock
             issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to receive stock issuances, the time or times
             when such issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule
             (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration for such shares.

        D.   The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary
             Option Grant or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program.

        E.   The  individuals who shall be eligible to participate in the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be limited to
             (i) those individuals who first become non-employee Board members on or after the Effective Date, whether through
             appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation's stockholders, and (ii) those individuals who are re-elected
             to serve as non-employee Board members at one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings beginning with the 1996 Annual
             Meeting.  A non-employee Board member who has previously been in the employ of the Corporation (or any Parent or
             Subsidiary) shall not be eligible to receive an option grant under the Automatic Option Grant Program at the time he
             or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, but shall be eligible to receive periodic option grants under the
             Automatic Option Grant Program upon his or her subsequent re-election to the Board.

                                                                              3


        F.   All non-employee Board members shall be eligible to participate in the Director Fee Option Grant Program.

V.      STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        A.   The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired  Common Stock, including
             shares repurchased by the Corporation on the open market.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be
             issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 12,574,830 shares.  The 12,574,830-share reserve is comprised of
             (i) the 4,224,830 shares of Common Stock which remained available for issuance under the Predecessor Plan as of the
             Effective Date, including the shares subject to the outstanding option grants under the Predecessor Plan which have
             been incorporated into this Plan and the additional shares of Common Stock available for future grant under the
             Predecessor Plan, (ii) an additional increase of 700,000 shares of Common Stock previously authorized by the Board and
             approved by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting, (iii) an additional increase of 1,300,000 shares
             of Common Stock authorized by the Board in March 1996 and approved by the stockholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting,
             (iv) a further increase of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock authorized by the Board on March 20, 1997 and approved by
             the stockholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting, (v) a further increase of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock authorized by
             the Board on March 17, 1998 and approved by the  stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting, (vi) a further increase of
             1,200,000 shares of Common Stock authorized by the Board on March 31, 1999 and approved by the stockholders at the 1999
             Annual Meeting, (vii) an additional increase of 1,350,000 shares authorized by the Board on March 20, 2000 and approved
             by the stockholders at the 2000 Annual Meeting plus (viii) an additional increase of 1,400,000 shares authorized by the
             Board on March 28, 2001 which is subject to stockholder approval at the 2001 Annual Meeting.  In no event, however,
             shall any person participating in the Plan receive stock options and direct stock  issuances under this Plan for more
             than 400,000 shares of Common Stock per calendar year, beginning with the 1995 calendar year.

        B.   Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options (including options incorporated into this Plan from the
             Predecessor Plan) shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those options expire or
             terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full.  Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently cancelled
             or repurchased by the Corporation at the option  exercise or direct issue price paid per share pursuant to the
             Corporation's repurchase rights under the Plan shall also be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.
             However, should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares of
             Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes
             incurred in connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then the
             number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares
             for which the option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of Common
             Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance.

        C.   If any change is made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination
             of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
             Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class

                                                                              4


             of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be
             granted stock options and direct stock issuances under this Plan per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of
             securities for which grants are subsequently to be made under the Automatic Option Grant Program to new and continuing
             non-employee Board members, (iv) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under
             each outstanding option under the Plan and (v) the number and/or class of securities and price per share in effect
             under each outstanding option incorporated into this Plan from the Predecessor Plan.  Such adjustments to the
             outstanding options are to be effected in a manner which shall preclude the enlargement or dilution of rights and
             benefits under such options.  The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and
             conclusive.


                                                                              5


                                                                      ARTICLE Two


                                                 DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

I.      OPTION TERMS

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

       A.   Exercise Price.

             1.   The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than one hundred
                  percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

             2.   The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions
                  of Section I of Article Six and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more of the forms
                  specified below:

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

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

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

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

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

                                                                              6


        C.   Effect of Termination of Service.

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

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

                 (ii)   Any option exercisable in whole or in part by the Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently
                        exercised by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the
                        option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and
                        distribution.

                (iii)   Should the Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct, then all outstanding options held by the
                        Optionee shall terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

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

                  (v)   In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the  provisions of Section III of this Article Two shall govern the
                        period for which the outstanding options are to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of
                        Service and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in this section.

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

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

                 (ii)   permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect
                        to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the

                                                                              7


                        Optionee's cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the
                        Optionee would have vested had the Optionee continued in Service.

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

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

        F.   Limited Transferability of Options.  During the lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only
             by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or  transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
             distribution following the Optionee's death.  However, a Non-Qualified Option may, in connection with the Optionee's
             estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's
             immediate family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members.  The assigned portion may
             only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment.
             The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately  prior to
             such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem
             appropriate.

II.      INCENTIVE OPTIONS

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

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

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

        C.   10%  Stockholder.  If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price
             per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on

                                                                              8


             the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.

III.     CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

        A.   In the event of any Corporate  Transaction, each outstanding option under this Discretionary Option Grant Program shall
             automatically accelerate so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate
             Transaction, become  fully  exercisable  with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject
             to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  However, an
             outstanding option shall not so accelerate if and to the extent:  (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate
             Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable
             option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) such option is to
             be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the
             unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with
             the same vesting schedule applicable to such option or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other
             limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant. The determination of option
             comparability under clause (i) above shall be made by the Plan  Administrator, and its determination shall be final,
             binding and conclusive.

        B.   All outstanding repurchase rights under this Discretionary Option Grant Program shall also terminate automatically, and
             the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any
             Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor
             corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is
             precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

        C.   Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options under this Discretionary
             Option Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor
             corporation (or parent thereof).

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

        E.   The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant options under the Discretionary Option Grant
             Program which will automatically accelerate in the event the Optionee's Service subsequently terminates by reason of an

                                                                              9


             Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of
             any Corporate Transaction in which those options are assumed or replaced and do not otherwise accelerate.  Any options
             so accelerated shall remain exercisable for fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option
             term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective date of the Involuntary Termination.
             In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights
             with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate,
             and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full.

        F.   The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant options under the Discretionary Option Grant
             Program which will automatically accelerate in the event the Optionee's Service subsequently terminates by reason of an
             Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of
             any Change in Control. Each option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for fully-vested shares until the earlier of
             (i) the expiration of the option term or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective
             date of the Involuntary Termination.  In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the
             Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary
             Termination shall immediately terminate, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly
             vest in full.

        G.   The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall
             remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar limitation is
             not exceeded.  To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be
             exercisable as a Non-Qualified Option under the Federal tax laws.

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

                                                                             10

                                               SALARY REDUCTION OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

I.       OPTION GRANTS

         The  Primary  Committee  shall  have   the  sole  and  exclusive  authority  to  determine  the  calendar year or years (if
any) for which the Salary Reduction  Option Grant Program is to be in effect and to select the Employees  eligible to participate in
the Salary  Reduction  Option Grant Program for those  calendar year or years.  Each selected  Employee who elects to participate in
the Salary  Reduction  Option Grant Program must,  prior to the start of each  calendar  year of  participation,  file with the Plan
Administrator  (or its designate) an irrevocable  authorization  directing the Corporation to reduce his or her base salary for that
calendar year by a designated  multiple of one percent (1%).  However,  the minimum amount of such salary reduction must be not less
than the greater of (i) five percent  (5%) of his or her rate of base salary for that  calendar  year or (ii) Ten  Thousand  Dollars
($10,000.00)  and must not be more than the  lesser of (i)  twenty  five  percent  (25%) of his or her rate of base  salary  for the
calendar  year  or  (ii)  Seventy  Five  Thousand  Dollars  ($75,000.00).  Each  individual  who  files a  proper  salary  reduction
authorization  shall  automatically  be granted an option under this Salary  Reduction Option Grant Program on the first trading day
in January of the calendar year for which that salary  reduction is to be in effect.  Stockholder  approval of this 2001 Restatement
at the 2001 Annual Stockholders  Meeting shall constitute  pre-approval of each option subsequently  granted pursuant to the express
terms of this Salary  Reduction  Option Grant Program on the basis of the share increases  effected by such 2001 Restatement and the
subsequent exercise of that option in accordance with its terms.

II.      OPTION TERMS

         Each  option  shall  be a  Non-Qualified  Option  evidenced  by  one  or  more  documents  in the form approved by the Plan
Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms specified below.

        A.   Exercise Price.

             1.   The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per
                  share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

             2.   The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more of
                  the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.  Except to the extent the sale and
                  remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must
                  be made on the Exercise Date.

        B.   Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the
             following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number):

                                                                             11



                           X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

                           X is the number of option shares,

                           A is the dollar  amount by which the  Optionee's  base  salary is to be  reduced  for the  calendar  year
                           pursuant to the Salary Reduction Option Grant Program, and

                           B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.


        C.   Exercise and Term of Options.  The option shall become exercisable in a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly
             installments upon the Optionee's completion of each calendar month of Service in the calendar year for which the salary
             reduction is in effect.  Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

        D.   Effect of Termination of Service.  Should the Optionee cease Service for any reason while  holding one or more options
             under this Article Three, then each such option shall remain exercisable, for any or all of the shares for which the
             option is exercisable at the time of such cessation of Service, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten
             (10)-year  option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of such cessation of
             Service.  Should the Optionee die while holding one or more options  under this Article Three, then each such option
             may be exercised, for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's
             cessation of Service (less any shares subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal
             representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the
             Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.  Such right of exercise shall lapse, and
             the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the three
             (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service.  However, the option shall, immediately
             upon the Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to remain  outstanding  with respect to
             any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

III.     CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

        A.   In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such
             Optionee under this Salary Reduction Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option
             shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable with respect to
             the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all of
             those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  Each such outstanding option shall be assumed by the successor
             corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and shall remain  exercisable for the fully-vested  shares
             until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year
             period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service.

        B.   In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such
             Optionee under this Salary Reduction Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall

                                                                             12


             immediately become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject
             to such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  The option
             shall remain so exercisable until the earlier or (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii the
             expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service.

        C.   The grant of options under the Salary Reduction Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the
             Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
             consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

IV.      REMAINING TERMS

         The remaining terms of each option granted under the Salary Reduction Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms
         in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                                                                             13

                                                       STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

I.       STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

         Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program directly without any intervening option grants.
         Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below.

        A.   Issue Price.  The shares shall be issued for such valid consideration under the Delaware General Corporation Law as
             the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate, but the value of such consideration as determined by the Plan
             Administrator shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the issued shares of
             Common Stock on the issuance date.

        B.   Vesting Provisions.

             1.  The Primary Committee shall have the sole and exclusive authority to issue shares of Common Stock under the Stock
                 Issuance Program as a bonus for past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).  All such
                 bonus shares shall be fully and immediately vested upon issuance.

             2.  All other shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Stock Issuance Program by the applicable Plan
                 Administrator shall have a minimum vesting schedule determined in accordance with the following requirements:

                (i)  For any shares which are to vest solely by reason of Service to be performed by the Participant, the Plan
                     Administrator shall impose a minimum Service period of at least three (3) years measured from the issue date
                     of such shares.

                (ii) For any shares which are to vest upon the Participant's completion of a designated Service requirement and the
                     Corporation's attainment of one or more prescribed performance milestones, the Plan Administrator shall impose
                     a minimum Service period of at least one (1) year measured from the issue date of such shares.

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

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

                                                                             14


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

             6.  The Primary Committee shall have the sole and  exclusive authority, exercisable upon a Participant's termination
                 of Service, to waive the surrender and cancellation of any or all unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets
                 attributable thereto) at the time held by that Participant, if the Primary Committee determines such waiver to be
                 an appropriate severance benefit for the Participant.

II.      CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

        A.    All of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically,
              and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of
              any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor
              corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is
              precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.

        B.   The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase
             rights under the Stock Issuance Program in such manner that those  repurchase rights shall automatically terminate,
             and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event the
             Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within eighteen (18) months
             following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the
             successor corporation (or parent thereof).

        C.   The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation's repurchase
             rights under the Stock Issuance Program in such manner that those repurchase rights shall automatically terminate, and
             all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event the
             Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within eighteen (18) months
             following the effective date of any Change in Control.

                                                                             15


III.     SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

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

                                                                             16

                                                   AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

        The  provisions of the Automatic Option Grant Program have been revised as of March 17, 1998 and have been approved by the
        stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting.

I.       OPTION TERMS

        A.   Grant Dates.  Option grants shall be made on the dates specified below:

             1.  Each  individual who is re-elected to the Board as a non-employee Board member at the 1998 Annual Stockholders
                 Meeting shall automatically be granted at that time a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common
                 Stock.

             2.  Each individual who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member at the 1998 Annual Stockholders
                 Meeting or at any time thereafter shall automatically be granted, upon his or her initial election or appointment
                 (as the case may be), a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock, provided that individual
                 has not previously been in the employ of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary.

             3.   On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting, beginning with the 1998 Annual Meeting, each individual who is
                  re-elected  to serve as a non-employee Board member at such  meeting shall automatically be granted a
                  Non-Qualified Option to purchase an additional 7,000 shares of Common Stock, provided such individual has served
                  as a  non-employee Board member for a period of at least six (6) months.  There shall be no limit on the number
                  of such 7,000-share option  grants any one  non-employee Board member may receive over his or her period of Board
                  service, and non-employee  Board members who have previously been in the employ of the Corporation or any  Parent
                  or Subsidiary shall be eligible to receive such annual option  rants upon their re-election as non-employee Board
                  members at one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings.

                  Only the 15,000-share and 7,000-share option grants made at the 1998 Annual Meeting have been adjusted to 30,000
                  shares and 14,000 shares, respectively, to reflect the June 12, 1998 split of the Common Stock.  All other share
                  numbers in this Article Five remain in effect after such split.

                  Stockholder approval of this 2001 Restatement at the 2001 Annual Stockholders Meeting shall constitute
                  pre-approval of each option granted at or after that Annual Meeting pursuant to the express terms of this
                  Automatic Option Grant Program on the basis of the share increases effected  by such 2001 Restatement and the
                  subsequent exercise of that option in accordance with its terms.

        B.    Exercise Price.

             1.  The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred  percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
                 Common Stock on the option grant date.

                                                                             17


             2.  The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary
                 Option Grant Program.  Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized,
                 payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

        C.    Option Term.  Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

        D.    Exercise and Vesting of Options.  Each  option shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares.
              However, any shares purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the Corporation, at the exercise
              price paid per share, upon the Optionee's cessation of Board  service prior to vesting in those shares.  Each option
              grant shall vest, and the Corporation's repurchase right shall lapse, in a series of four (4) successive equal annual
              installments over the Optionee's period of continued service as a Board member, with the first such installment to
              vest upon the Optionee's completion of one (1) year of Board service measured from the option grant date.

        E.    Effect of Termination of Board Service.  The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any outstanding options
              held by the Optionee under this Automatic Option Grant Program at the time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board
              member:

              (i)   The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee's death, the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or the
                    person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the
                    laws of descent and distribution) shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of
                    Board service in which to exercise each such option.  However, each option shall, immediately upon the
                    Optionee's cessation of Board service, terminate and cease to remain outstanding with respect to any option
                    shares in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested.

              (ii)  During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the
                    number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Board
                    service.  However, should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board member by reason of death or Permanent
                    Disability, then all shares at the time subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may,
                    during the twelve (12)-month exercise period following such cessation of Board service, be exercised for all or
                    any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares.

              (iii) In no event shall the option remain exercisable after the expiration of the option term.

II.      SPECIAL ACCELERATION EVENTS

        A.    In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains a Board  member, the shares of Common Stock at
              the time subject to each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Automatic Option Grant Program but not
              otherwise vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the specified

                                                                             18


              effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the
              time subject to that option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares of
              Common Stock.

        B.    Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, each option grant outstanding under this
              Automatic Option Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
              successor corporation or its parent company.

        C.    In the event of any Change in Control of the Corporation  while the Optionee remains a Board member, the shares of
              Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option held by such Optionee under this Automatic Option Grant
              Program but not otherwise  vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior
              to the specified effective date for the Change in Control, become fully  exercisable for all of the shares of Common
              Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for all or any portion of those shares as fully-vested
              shares of Common Stock.  Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully-vested option shares until the
              expiration or sooner termination of the option term.

        D.    The  automatic  option grants  outstanding  under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to
              adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate,
              dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

III.     REMAINING TERMS

              The  remaining  terms of each option granted under the  Automatic Option Grant Program  shall be the same as the terms
in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                                                                             19

                                                 DIRECTOR FEE OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

I.       OPTION GRANTS

              Each  non-employee  Board  member  may elect to  apply all or any portion of the annual retainer fee otherwise payable
in cash for his or her service on the Board to the  acquisition  of a special  option  grant under this  Director  Fee Option  Grant
Program.  Such election must be filed with the  Corporation's  Chief Financial  Officer on or before the last day of December in the
calendar year  immediately  preceding  the calendar year for which the annual  retainer fee which is the subject of that election is
otherwise  payable.  Once  filed,  the  election  shall be  irrevocable.  Each  non-employee  Board  member  who files such a timely
election shall  automatically  be granted an option under this Director Fee Option Grant Program on the first trading day in January
in the  calendar  year for which the  annual  retainer  fee which is the  subject  of that  election  would  otherwise  be  payable.
Stockholder  approval of the 2001 Restatement at the 2001 Annual Stockholders  Meeting shall constitute  pre-approval of each option
subsequently  granted  pursuant to the express terms of this  Director Fee Option Grant Program on the basis of the share  increases
effected by such 2001 Restatement and the subsequent exercise of that option in accordance with its terms.

II.      OPTION TERMS

              Each option shall be a Non-Qualified Option governed by the terms and conditions specified below.

         A.   Exercise Price.

              1.  The exercise price per share shall be thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Fair Market Value per
                  share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

              2.  The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall be payable in one or more
                  of the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary  Option Grant Program.  Except to the extent the sale
                  and remittance procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares
                  must be made on the Exercise Date.

        B.   Number of Option Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the option shall be determined pursuant to the
             following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole number):

                                                                             20



                           X = A / (B x 66-2/3%), where

                           X is the number of option shares,

                           A is the portion of the annual retainer fee subject to the non-employee Board member's election, and

                           B is the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

        C.  Exercise and Term of Options.  The option shall become exercisable in a series of twelve (12) successive equal monthly
            installments upon the Optionee's completion of each calendar month of Board service in the calendar year for which the
            retainer fee election  under this Article Six is in effect.  Each option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years
            measured from the option grant date.

        D.  Effect of Termination of Service.  Should the Optionee cease Board service for any reason (other than death or Permanent
            Disability) while holding one or more options under this Article Six, then each such option shall remain exercisable,
            for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable  at the time of such cessation of Board service,
            until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year
            period measured from the date of such cessation of Board service.  However, each option held by the Optionee  under this
            Article Six at the time of his or her cessation of Board service shall immediately terminate and cease to remain
            outstanding with respect to any and all shares of Common Stock for which the option is not otherwise at that time
            exercisable.

        E.  Death or Permanent Disability.  Should the Optionee's service as a Board member cease by reason of death or Permanent
            Disability,  then each option held by such Optionee under this Article Six shall immediately become exercisable for all
            the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that option, and the option may, during the three (3)-year period
            following such cessation of Board service, be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares.

       Should the Optionee  die while holding  one or more  options under this Article Six, then  each such option may be exercised,
for any or all of the shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Board  service (less any
shares  subsequently purchased by Optionee prior to death), by the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person
or  persons  to whom  the option  is transferred  pursuant  to the Optionee's will  or in  accordance  with the  laws of descent and
distribution.  Such right of exercise shall lapse, and the option shall terminate, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten
(10)-year option term or (ii) the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's
cessation of Board service.

III.     CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

        A.   In the event of any Corporate Transaction while the Optionee remains a Board member, each outstanding option held by
             such Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option
             shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable  with respect

                                                                             21


             to the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be exercised for any or all
             of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  Each such outstanding option shall be assumed by the successor
             corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested shares
             until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the expiration of the three (3)-year
             period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Board service.

        B.   In the event of a Change in Control while the Optionee remains in Service, each outstanding option held by such
             Optionee under this Director Fee Option Grant Program shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall
             immediately become fully exercisable with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
             such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  The option
             shall remain so exercisable until the earlier or (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year option term or (ii) the
             expiration of the three (3)-year period measured from the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service.

        C.   The grant of options under the Director Fee Option Grant Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to
             adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate,
             dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

IV.      REMAINING TERMS

             The  remaining  terms  of  each option  granted  under this  Director Fee Option Grant Program shall be the same as the
terms in effect for option grants made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                                                                             22

                                                           MISCELLANEOUS

I.       FINANCING

             The  Plan  Administrator  may  permit  any  Optionee  or  Participant  to  pay the  option  exercise  price  under  the
Discretionary  Option  Grant  Program or the  purchase  price of shares  issued  under the Stock  Issuance  Program by  delivering a
promissory  note payable in one or more  installments.  The terms of any such  promissory  note (including the interest rate and the
terms of repayment)  shall be established  by the Plan  Administrator  in its sole  discretion.  Promissory  notes may be authorized
with or without  security or collateral.  In all events,  the maximum credit available to the Optionee or Participant may not exceed
the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased  shares plus (ii) any Federal,  state
and local income and employment tax liability  incurred by the Optionee or the  Participant in connection  with the option  exercise
or share purchase.

II.      TAX WITHHOLDING

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

III.     EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

        A.   The Plan became effective upon approval by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1995 Annual Stockholders Meeting.

        B.   The Plan was amended and restated by the Board in March 1996 (the "1996 Restatement") to effect the following
             revisions: (i) increase the maximum number of shares of Common  Stock authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan
             by an additional 1,300,000 shares to  6,224,830 shares and (ii) increase the limit on the maximum number of shares of
             Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan prior to the required cessation of further Incentive Option grants by
             an additional 1,300,000 shares to a total of 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock. The 1996 Restatement became effective
             immediately upon adoption by the Board and was approved by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting.

        C.   The Plan was again amended and restated on March 20, 1997 (the "1997  Amendment") to effect the following changes: (i)
             increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional
             1,200,000  shares, (ii) render the non-employee Board members eligible to receive option grants and direct stock
             issuances under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance  Programs, (iii) eliminate the plan limitation which
             precluded the grant of additional Incentive Options once the number of shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan,
             whether as vested or unvested shares, exceeded 6,100,000 shares, (iv) eliminate certain restrictions on the eligibility
             of non-employee Board members to serve as Plan Administrator and (v) effect a series of technical changes to the
             provisions of the Plan (including the stockholder approval requirements) in order to take advantage of the recent

                                                                             23


             amendments to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission  which exempts certain officer and director
             transactions under the Plan from the  short-swing liability provisions of the Federal securities laws.  The 1997
             Amendment became effective immediately upon adoption by the Board and was approved by the Corporation's stockholders
             at the 1997 Annual Meeting.

        D.   The Plan was further amended and restated on March 17, 1998 (the "1998 Restatement") to increase the number of shares
             of Common Stock authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 1,200,000 shares and to effect the
             following changes to the Automatic Option Grant Program in effect under Article Five:

             (i)   Each individual reelected to the Board as a  non-employee Board member at the 1998 Annual Meeting shall receive
                   at that time an option grant for 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

             (ii)  Each individual who first joins the Board as a non-employee Board member at the 1998 Annual Meeting or at any
                   time thereafter shall, upon his or her initial election or appointment to the Board, receive an option grant for
                   25,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, provided such individual has not previously been in the Company's
                   employ.

             (iii) On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting, beginning with the 1998 Annual Meeting, each individual
                   reelected to the Board as a non-employee Board member will receive an option grant for 7,000 shares of the
                   Company's Common Stock, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six
                   months.

             The 1998 Restatement was approved by the stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting, and no option grants made on the
             basis of the 600,000-share increase under the 1998 Restatement became exercisable in whole or in part until the 1998
             Restatement was so approved.  All option grants made prior to the 1998 Restatement shall remain outstanding in
             accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective instruments evidencing those options or issuances, and
             nothing in the 1998 Restatement shall be deemed to modify or in any way affect those outstanding options or issuances.

        E.   The Plan was further amended and restated on March 31, 1999 (the "1999 Restatement") to increase the number of shares
             of Common Stock  authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 1,200,000  shares, and the 1999
             Restatement was approved by the stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting.  No option grants or direct stock issuances
             were made on the basis of the 1,200,000-share increase authorized by the 1999 Restatement until the 1999 Restatement
             was approved by the stockholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting.  All option grants made prior to the 1999 Restatement
             shall remain outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective instruments evidencing those
             options or issuances, and nothing in the 1999 Restatement shall be deemed to modify or in any way affect those
             outstanding options or issuances.

                                                                             24


        F.   The Plan was further amended and restated on March 20, 2000 (the "2000 Restatement") to increase the number of shares
             of Common Stock authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 1,350,000 shares, and the 2000
             Restatement was approved by the stockholders at the 2000 Annual Meeting.  No option grants or direct stock issuances
             were made on the basis of the 1,350,000-share increase authorized by the 2000 Restatement until the 2000  restatement

             unless and until such amendment is approved by the stockholders at the 2001 Annual Meeting.  All option grants made
             prior to the 2001 Restatement shall remain outstanding in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective
             instruments evidencing those options or issuances, and nothing in the 2001 Restatement shall be deemed to modify or in
             any way affect those outstanding options or issuances.

        H.   The Plan  Administrator shall have full power and  authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to extend one or more
             provisions of the Discretionary Option Grant Program, including (without limitation) the vesting acceleration
             provisions of Section III of Article Two relating to Corporate  Transactions  and Changes in Control, to one or more
             outstanding stock options under the  Predecessor Plan which are incorporated into this Plan on the Effective Date but
             which do not otherwise contain such provisions.

        I.   The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) May 24, 2005, (ii) the date on which all shares available for
             issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding
             options in connection with a Corporate Transaction.  Upon a clause (i) plan termination, all outstanding option grants
             and unvested stock  issuances shall thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of
             the documents evidencing such grants or issuances.

IV.      AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

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

        B.   Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted  under the Discretionary Option Grant and Salary Reduction
             Option Grant Programs and shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each
             instance in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares

                                                                             25


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

V.       USE OF PROCEEDS

             Any  cash  proceeds  received  by  the  Corporation  from  the  sale of shares of Common  Stock under the Plan shall be
used for general corporate purposes.

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

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

VII.     NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

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

                                                                             26
