and/or having their principal place of employment in such country, or the
exercise of such Options, would have significant adverse consequences to
Employees and/or the Company or any Affiliate under the tax or securities laws
of such country or would require the Company or any Affiliate to effect a
registration or qualification under, or perfect an exemption from or other
compliance with, the securities laws of such country that the Administrator
deems, in its sole discretion, to be unduly burdensome.

                  (v) "NONSTATUTORY OPTION" means any Option other than an

to cease being an Affiliate shall be treated as the "Termination" of that
Affiliate's Employees, Directors, and Consultants.

         2.2 RULES OF INTERPRETATION. Any reference to a "Section," without
more, is to a Section of this Plan. Captions and titles are used for convenience
in this Plan and shall not, by themselves, determine the meaning of this Plan.
Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular includes the plural
and vice versa. Any reference to a statute is also a reference to the applicable
rules and regulations adopted under that statute. Any reference to a statute,
rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or regulation, is a
reference to that statute, rule, regulation, or section as amended from time to
time, both before and after the effective date of this Plan and including any
successor provisions.

3.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN; TERM OF THIS PLAN

         3.1 NUMBER OF OPTION SHARES. Subject to adjustment under Section 10,
the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan is 1,500,000.
When an Option is granted, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under

under, that Option. By contrast, the repurchase of Option Shares by the Company
shall not increase the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under this
Plan.

been issued, (b) Shares that have been issued but are no longer outstanding, or
(c) Shares that are outstanding and are acquired to discharge the Company's

                  (a) This Plan shall be effective on, and Options may be

been both adopted by the Board and approved by the Company's stockholders.

                  (b) This Plan has no set termination date. However, it may be
terminated as provided in Section 13. Moreover, no Incentive Stock Option may be
granted after the time described in Section 7(b).

4. ADMINISTRATION

         4.1 GENERAL

                  (a) The Board shall have ultimate responsibility for
administering this Plan. The Board may delegate certain of its responsibilities
to a Committee, which shall consist of at least two members of the Board. Where
this Plan specifies that an action is to be taken or a determination made by the
Board, only the Board may take that action or make that determination. Where
this Plan specifies that an action is to be taken or a determination made by the
Committee, only the Committee may take that action or make that determination.
Where this Plan references the "Administrator," the action may be taken or
determination made by the Board or the Committee. Moreover, all actions and
determinations by any Administrator are subject to the provisions of this Plan.

                  (b) So long as the Company has registered and outstanding a
class of equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Committee
shall consist of Company Directors who are "Non-Employee Directors" as defined
in Rule 16b-3 and who are "outside directors" as defined in Section 162(m) of
the Code.

                  (c) to determine the Option Price of Options;

                  (d) to select the Optionees;

                  (e) to determine the times Options are granted;

                  (f) to determine the number of Shares subject to each Option;

                  (h) to determine the types of payment that may be used to
satisfy withholding tax obligations;

                  (i) to determine the other terms of each Option, including but
not limited to the time or times at which Options may be exercised, whether and
under what conditions an Option is assignable, and whether an Option is a
Nonstatutory Option or an Incentive Stock Option;

                  (j) to modify or amend any Option;

                  (k) to authorize any person to sign any Option Agreement or

                  (l) to determine the form of any Option Agreement or other
document related to this Plan, and whether that document, including signatures,
may be in electronic form;

                  (m) to interpret this Plan and any Option Agreement or

                  (p) adopt, amend and revoke special rules and procedures,
which may be inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, set forth (if the
Administrator so chooses) in sub-plans regarding (for example) the operation and
administration of this Plan and the terms of Options, if and to the extent
necessary or useful to accommodate non-U.S. Applicable Law and practices as they
apply to Options and Option Shares held by, or granted or issued to, persons
working or resident outside of the United States or employed by Affiliates
incorporated outside the United States;

                  (q) to determine whether a transaction or event should be
treated as a Change of Control, a Divestiture or neither;

                  (r) to determine the effect of a Fundamental Transaction and,
if the Board determines that a transaction or event should be treated as a

                  (s) to make all other determinations the Administrator deems
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

         4.3 SCOPE OF DISCRETION. Subject to the last sentence of this Section
4.3, on all matters for which this Plan confers the authority, right or power on
the Board or the Committee to make decisions, that body may make those decisions
in its sole and absolute discretion. Those decisions will be final, binding and
conclusive. Moreover, but again subject to the last sentence of this Section
4.3, in making those decisions the Board or Committee need not treat all persons
eligible to receive Options, all Optionees, all Options or all Option Shares the
same way. However, except as provided in Section 13.3, the discretion of the
Board or Committee is subject to the specific provisions and specific
limitations of this Plan, as well as all rights conferred on specific Optionees
by Option Agreements and other agreements.

5.       PERSONS ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE OPTIONS; AUTOMATIC GRANTS

         5.1 ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS. Options (including Substitute Options) may be
granted to, and only to, Employees (other than Ineligible Nonresidents),
Subsidiary Directors and Consultants, including to prospective Employees (other
than Ineligible Nonresidents), Subsidiary Directors and Consultants conditioned
on the beginning of their service for the Company or an Affiliate. However,
Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees (other than Ineligible
Nonresidents), as provided in Section 7(g).

         5.2 SECTION 162(m) LIMITATION. So long as the Company is a "publicly
held corporation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code: (a) no
Employee or prospective Employee may be granted one or more Options within any
fiscal year of the Company under this Plan to purchase more than 500,000 Shares,
subject to adjustment under Section 10, and (b) Options may be granted to an
Executive only by the Committee (and, notwithstanding Section 4.1(a), not by the
Board). If an Option is cancelled without being exercised or if the Option Price
of an Option is reduced, that cancelled or repriced Option shall continue to be
counted against the limit on Options that may be granted to any individual under
this Section 5.2.

                                       5


         5.3 GRANTS ON EACH FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF EMPLOYMENT. Without any action
by the Administrator, each Employee other than an Ineligible Nonresident
automatically shall be granted an Option, on each anniversary of such Employee's
first day of employment by the Company or an Affiliate that occurs on or after
the date this Plan becomes effective and is a whole multiple of five years after
such first day of employment, so long as such Employee continues to be an
Employee, to purchase 1,000 Shares, subject to adjustment under Section 10.
Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, each
such Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Option. Any such determination
changing the type of Options granted automatically pursuant to this Section 5.3
shall be effective for any or all Options, as determined by the Administrator,
granted automatically pursuant to this Section 5.3 on or after, but not before,
the date of the determination. This paragraph is intended only to facilitate the
automatic grant of Options to Employees other than Ineligible Nonresidents every
fifth year after they are first employed by the Company or an Affiliate without
the necessity of action by the Administrator and is not intended to grant to any
Employee any right to be granted an Option. Neither the Company nor any officer,
Director or member of the Committee shall have any liability to any Employee for
the failure to grant an Option or for any determination that any Employee is an
Ineligible Nonresident. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
this Plan, no Option shall be granted to an Employee pursuant to this Section
5.3 on any date if on that date the Employee is automatically granted an option
to purchase 1,000 Shares pursuant to the provisions of any other stock option or
stock incentive plan of the Company in effect as of the effective date of this
Plan. The Committee may, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, (a)
suspend the operation of this Section 5.3, or (b) grant additional Options to
any Employee (other than an Ineligible Nonresident).

6.       TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

         The following rules apply to all Options:

         6.1 PRICE. No Option may have an Option Price less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date. The Option Price of each
Option granted automatically to each Employee (other than an Ineligible
Nonresident) pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the Grant Date. In no event will the Option Price of any Option be
less than the par value of the Shares issuable under the Option if that is
required by Applicable Law. The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall
be subject to Section 7(f).

         6.2 TERM. No Option shall be exercisable after its Expiration Date. No
Option may have an Expiration Date that is more than ten years after its Grant
Date. The Expiration Date of each Option granted automatically to each Employee
(other than an Ineligible Nonresident) pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be ten
years after its Grant Date. Additional provisions regarding the term of
Incentive Stock Options are provided in Sections 7(a) and 7(e).

         6.3 VESTING. Options shall be exercisable: (a) on the Grant Date, (b)
in accordance with a schedule related to the Grant Date, the date the Optionee's
directorship of a subsidiary, employment or consultancy begins, or a different
date specified in the Option Agreement, (c) upon the achievement of performance
objectives established by the Administrator at the date of grant or (d) based on
such combination of the passage of time and achievement of performance
objectives as the Administrator shall specify. Performance objectives may be
expressed in terms of the operating results or operating ratios of the Company
or its individual divisions or Affiliates, including, by way of example but
without limitation, net sales, net sales of particular products, gross margins,
net income or return on investment, or may be expressed in terms of the
performance of individual Optionees. Determination of the achievement of the
performance objectives shall be based on objective criteria and shall be in the
sole discretion of the Administrator unless the Administrator provides otherwise
in an Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option granted
automatically to each Employee (other than an Ineligible Nonresident) pursuant
to Section 5.3 shall become exercisable as to one-third of the number of Shares
(rounded to the closest number of whole Shares) on each of the first, second and
third anniversaries of the Grant Date, so that all Shares will be purchasable on
the third anniversary of the Grant Date. Additional provisions regarding the
vesting of Incentive Stock Options are provided in Section 7(c).

         6.4 FORM OF PAYMENT

                  (a) The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form and
method of payment for exercising an Option.

                                       6


                  (b) Acceptable forms of payment for all Option Shares are
cash, check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by
the Administrator for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans.

                  (c) In addition, the Administrator may permit payment to be
made by any of the following methods, so long as permitted by Applicable Law:

                           (i) other Shares, or the designation of other Shares,
                  which (A) are "mature" shares for purposes of avoiding
                  variable accounting treatment under generally accepted
                  accounting principles (in general, mature shares are those
                  that have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months
                  on the date of surrender), and (B) have a Fair Market Value on
                  the date of surrender equal to the Option Price of the Shares
                  as to which the Option is being exercised;

                           (ii) provided that a public market exists for the
                  Shares, consideration received by the Company under a
                  procedure under which a broker-dealer that is a member of the
                  National Association of Securities Dealers advances funds on
                  behalf of an Optionee or sells Option Shares on behalf of an
                  Optionee (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE Procedure"), provided that if
                  the Company extends or arranges for the extension of credit to
                  an Optionee under any Cashless Exercise Procedure, an Officer
                  or Director may participate in that Cashless Exercise
                  Procedure only if that is permitted by Applicable Law;

                           (iii) one or more full recourse promissory notes
                  bearing interest at a fair market value rate when the Option
                  is exercised that is also at least sufficient to avoid
                  imputation of interest under Sections 483, 1274 and 7872 of
                  the Code and with such other terms as the Administrator
                  specifies, except that (A) no Consultant may purchase Shares
                  with a promissory note, (B) if Shares are registered under
                  Section 12 of the Exchange Act, an Officer or Director may
                  purchase Shares with a promissory note only if that is
                  permitted by Applicable Law, (C) the portion of the Option
                  Price equal to the par value of the Shares must be paid in
                  cash or other lawful consideration, other than the note, if
                  that is required by Applicable Law, and (D) the Company shall
                  at all times comply with any applicable margin rules of the
                  Federal Reserve; and

                           (iv) any combination of the methods of payment
                  permitted by any paragraph of this Section 6.4.

                  (d) The Administrator may also permit any other form or method
of payment for Option Shares permitted by Applicable Law.

         6.5 NONASSIGNABILITY OF OPTIONS. Except as set forth in any Option
Agreement, no Option shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the
Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. However,
Options may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Qualified Domestic
Relations Order and may be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to
act for the Optionee. Incentive Stock Options may only be assigned in compliance
with Section 7(h).

         6.6 SUBSTITUTE OPTIONS. The Board may cause the Company to grant
Substitute Options in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an
Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer
or other similar transaction) or all or a portion of the assets of any entity.
Any such substitution shall be effective when the acquisition closes. Substitute
Options may be Nonstatutory Options or Incentive Stock Options. Unless and to
the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Options shall have the
same terms and conditions as the options they replace, except that (subject to
Section 10) Substitute Options shall be Options to purchase Shares rather than
equity securities of the granting entity and shall have an Option Price that, as
determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflects
the substitution.

         6.7 REPRICINGS. Other than in accordance with Section 10, Options may
not be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without
stockholder approval, if the effect of the repricing, replacement, regrant or
modification would be to reduce the effective Option Price of the Options.

                                       7



7.       INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

         The following rules apply only to Incentive Stock Options and only to
the extent these rules are more restrictive than the rules that would otherwise
apply under this Plan. With the consent of the Optionee, or where this Plan
provides that an action may be taken notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan, the Administrator may deviate from the requirements of this Section,
notwithstanding that any Incentive Stock Option modified by the Administrator
will thereafter be treated as a Nonstatutory Option.

                  (a) The Expiration Date of an Incentive Stock Option shall not
be later than ten years from its Grant Date, with the result that no Incentive
Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from its Grant
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in this Plan,
the Expiration Date of each Incentive Stock Option granted automatically to each
Employee (other than an Ineligible Nonresident) pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be
ten years after the Grant Date.

                  (b) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten
years from the date this Plan was approved by the Board.

                  (c) Options intended to be incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code that are granted to any single Optionee under all
incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Affiliates, including
incentive stock options granted under this Plan, may not vest at a rate of more
than $100,000 in Fair Market Value of stock (measured on the grant dates of the
options) during any calendar year. For this purpose, an option vests with
respect to a given share of stock the first time its holder may purchase that
share, notwithstanding any right of the Company to repurchase that share. Unless
the administrator of that option plan specifies otherwise in the related
agreement governing the option, this vesting limitation shall be applied by, to
the extent necessary to satisfy this $100,000 rule, deferring the exercisability
of certain options that were intended to be incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code when granted. The stock options or portions of stock
options whose exercisability will be deferred are those with the highest option
prices, whether granted under this Plan or any other equity compensation plan of
the Company or any Affiliate that permits that treatment. Those "deferred"
Incentive Stock Options shall become exercisable on the first day of the first
calendar year during which the "deferred" options satisfy the vesting
requirements of this Section 7(c), the other provisions of this Plan, and any
other controlling documents, including requirements relating to the expiration
and termination of options. However, the exercisability of an Option or portion
of an Option shall not be deferred (i) more than three years, or such other
whole number of years as may be specified by the Administrator in the related
agreement governing the Option, beyond the date the Option or portion of the
Option would have first become exercisable in the absence of deferral under this
Section 7(c), or (ii) beyond the Option's Expiration Date, and any Option or
portion of an Option that cannot be so deferred because of (i) or (ii) shall be
treated as a Nonstatutory Option exercisable in accordance with its vesting
schedule without regard to deferral under this Section 7(c). This Section 7(c)
shall not cause an Incentive Stock Option to vest before its original vesting
date or cause an Incentive Stock Option that has already vested to cease to be
vested.

                  (d) In order for an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised for
any form of payment other than those described in Section 6.4(b), that right
must be stated at the time of grant in the Option Agreement relating to that
Incentive Stock Option.

                  (e) Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
Stockholder, must have an Expiration Date that is not later than five years from
its Grant Date, with the result that no such Option may be exercised after the
expiration of five years from the Grant Date. A "TEN PERCENT STOCKHOLDER" is any
person who, directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, owns
stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate on the Grant Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Expiration Date of each Incentive Stock
Option granted automatically pursuant to Section 5.3 to each Employee (other
than an Ineligible Nonresident) who is a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be five
years after the Grant Date.


                                       8


                  (f) The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall never
be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date. The Option
Price for the Shares covered by an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Stockholder shall never be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares at the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option Price of
each Incentive Stock Option granted automatically to each Employee (other than
an Ineligible Nonresident) pursuant to Section 5.3 shall be the Fair Market
Value, or in the case of each such Employee who is a Ten Percent Stockholder
110% of the Fair Market Value, of the Shares on the Grant Date.

                  (g) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees
(other than Ineligible Nonresidents). If an Optionee changes status from an
Employee to a Consultant, that Optionee's Incentive Stock Options become
Nonstatutory Options if not exercised within the time period described in
Section 7(i) (determined by treating that change in status as a Termination
solely for purposes of this Section 7(g)).

                  (h) No rights under an Incentive Stock Option may be
transferred by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. During the life of the Optionee, an Incentive Stock Option may be
exercised only by the Optionee. The Company's compliance with a Qualified
Domestic Relations Order, or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by a
guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Optionee, shall not violate
this Section 7(h).

                  (i) An Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised
within, the three-month period beginning with the Optionee's Termination for any
reason other than the Optionee's death or disability (as defined in Section
22(e) of the Code). In the case of Termination due to death, an Incentive Stock
Option shall continue to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if it remains
exercisable after, and is not exercised within, that three-month period provided
it is exercised before the Expiration Date. In the case of Termination due to
disability, an Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option
if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, one year after the
Optionee's Termination.

                  (j) An Incentive Stock Option may be modified only by the
Board.

8.       CONSULTING OR EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP

         Nothing in this Plan or in any Option Agreement, and no Option or the
fact that Option Shares remain subject to repurchase rights, shall: (a)
interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate
the employment or consultancy of any Optionee at any time, whether with or
without cause or reason, and with or without the payment of severance or any
other compensation or payment, or (b) interfere with the application of any
provision in any of the Company's or any Affiliate's charter documents or
Applicable Law relating to the election, appointment, term of office, or removal
of a Director.

9.       EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

         9.1 IN GENERAL. An Option shall be exercisable in accordance with this
Plan and the Option Agreement under which it is granted.

         9.2 TIME OF EXERCISE. An Option shall be considered exercised when the
Company receives: (a) written notice of exercise, on a form of exercise
agreement approved by the Administrator, from the person entitled to exercise
the Option, (b) full payment, or provision for payment, in a form and method
approved by the Administrator, for the Shares for which the Option is being
exercised and (c), with respect to Nonstatutory Options, payment, or provision
for payment, in a form approved by the Administrator, of all applicable
withholding taxes due upon exercise. An Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a Share.

         9.3 ISSUANCE OF OPTION SHARES. The Company shall issue Option Shares in
the name of the person properly exercising the Option. If the Optionee is that
person and so requests, the Option Shares shall be issued in the name of the
Optionee and the Optionee's spouse. The Company shall endeavor to issue Option
Shares promptly after an Option is exercised. However, until Option Shares are
actually issued, as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the stock books of the
Company or its transfer agent, the Optionee will not have the rights of a
stockholder with respect to those Option Shares, even though the Optionee has
completed all the steps necessary to exercise the Option. No adjustment shall be
made for any dividend, distribution or other right for which the record date
precedes the date the Option Shares are issued, except as provided in Section
10.


                                       9


         9.4 TERMINATION

                  (a) IN GENERAL. Except as provided in an Option Agreement or
in writing by the Administrator, and as otherwise provided in Sections 9.4(b),
(c), (d), (e), (f) and (g), after an Optionee's Termination the Optionee's
Options shall be exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) they are
vested on the date of that Termination and only during the period ending 30 days
after the Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. To the extent
the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise,
the Option shall automatically terminate.

                  (b) LEAVES OF ABSENCE. Unless otherwise provided in the Option
Agreement, no Option may be exercised more than 30 days after the beginning of a
leave of absence, other than a personal, military service or medical leave
approved by the Administrator with employment guaranteed upon return. Options
shall not continue to vest during a leave of absence, unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator with respect to an approved personal, military
service or medical leave with employment guaranteed upon return.

                  (c) DEATH OR DISABILITY. Unless otherwise provided in this
Plan or in the Option Agreement, if an Optionee's Termination is due to death or
disability (as determined by the Administrator with respect to Nonstatutory
Options and as defined by Section 22(e) of the Code with respect to Incentive
Stock Options), all unvested Options of that Optionee shall immediately vest and
all Options of that Optionee may be exercised for one year after that
Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. In the case of
Termination due to death, an Option may be exercised as provided in Section 16.
In the case of Termination due to disability, if a guardian or conservator has
been appointed to act for the Optionee and been granted this authority as part
of that appointment, that guardian or conservator may exercise the Option on
behalf of the Optionee. Death or disability occurring after an Optionee's
Termination shall not cause the Termination to be treated as having occurred due
to death or disability. However, in the case of an Optionee whose Termination is
due to disability (as provided in this Section 9.4(c)) and is not due to Cause,
if the Optionee dies within 90 days after that Termination, all Options of that
Optionee, to the extent they are exercisable at the date of the Optionee's death
(without regard to such death), may be exercised for one year after the date of
death, but in no event after the Expiration Date. In the case of an Optionee
whose Termination is due to the Optionee's retirement in accordance with the
Company's or an Affiliate's retirement policy and is not due to Cause, if the
Optionee dies or becomes disabled within 90 days after that Termination, all
Options of that Optionee, to the extent they are exercisable at the date of that
Termination and at the date of the Optionee's death or disability (without
regard to such death or disability), may be exercised for one year after the
date of death or, in the case of disability, for one year after the date of that
Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. To the extent an Option
is not so exercised within the time specified for its exercise, the Option shall
automatically terminate.

                  (d) DIVESTITURE. If an Optionee's Termination is due to a
Divestiture, the Board may take any one or more of the actions described in
Section 10.3 or 10.4 with respect to the Optionee's Options.

                  (e) RETIREMENT. Unless otherwise provided in this Plan or in
the Option Agreement, if an Optionee's Termination is due to the Optionee's
retirement in accordance with the Company's or an Affiliate's retirement policy,
all Options of that Optionee to the extent exercisable at the Optionee's date of
retirement may be exercised for three months after the Optionee's date of
retirement, but in no event after the Expiration Date. To the extent the
Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise, the
Option shall automatically terminate.

                  (f) SEVERANCE PROGRAMS. Unless otherwise provided in the
Option Agreement, if an Optionee's Termination results from participation in a
voluntary severance incentive program of the Company or an Affiliate approved by
the Board, all Options of that Employee to the extent exercisable at the time of
that Termination shall be exercisable for one year after the Optionee's
Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. If the Optionee does not
exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise, the Option shall
automatically terminate.

                                       10


                  (g) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. If an Optionee's Termination is due
to Cause, all of the Optionee's Options shall automatically terminate and cease
to be exercisable at the time of Termination and the Administrator may rescind
any and all exercises of Options by the Optionee that occurred after the first
event constituting Cause. "Cause" means employment-related dishonesty, fraud,
misconduct or disclosure or misuse of confidential information, or other
employment-related conduct that is likely to cause significant injury to the
Company, an Affiliate, or any of their respective employees, officers or
directors (including, without limitation, commission of a felony or similar
offense), in each case as determined by the Administrator. "Cause" shall not
require that a civil judgment or criminal conviction have been entered against
or guilty plea shall have been made by the Optionee regarding any of the matters
referred to in the previous sentence. Accordingly, the Administrator shall be
entitled to determine "Cause" based on the Administrator's good faith belief. If
the Optionee is criminally charged with a felony or similar offense, that shall
be a sufficient, but not a necessary, basis for such a belief.

10.      CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS

         10.1 IN GENERAL. Except as provided in this Section 10, no change in
the capital structure of the Company, merger, sale or other disposition of
assets or a subsidiary, change of control, issuance by the Company of shares of
any class of securities convertible into shares of any class, conversion of
securities or other transaction or event shall require or be the occasion for
any adjustments of the type described in this Section 10. Additional provisions
with respect to the foregoing transactions are set forth in Section 13.3.

         10.2 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any stock split,
reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of stock,
stock dividend, spin-off or similar change to the capital structure of the
Company (not including a Fundamental Transaction or Change of Control), the
Board shall make whatever adjustments it concludes are appropriate to: (a) the
number and type of Options that may be granted under this Plan, (b) the number
and type of Options that may be granted to any individual under this Plan, (c)
the Option Price and number and class of securities issuable under each
outstanding Option and (d) the number and class of securities issuable under
each Option to be granted automatically pursuant to Section 5.3. The specific
adjustments shall be determined by the Board, except that the Board shall comply
with Section 10.6 to the extent, if any, that it applies. Unless the Board
specifies otherwise, any securities issuable as a result of any such adjustment
shall be rounded to the next lower whole security. The Board need not adopt the
same rules for each Option or each Optionee.

         10.3 FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS. If the Company merges with another
entity in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or if,
as a result of any other transaction or event, other securities are substituted
for the Shares or Shares may no longer be issued (each a "FUNDAMENTAL
TRANSACTION"), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board
shall do one or more of the following contingent on the closing or completion of
the Fundamental Transaction: (a) arrange for the substitution, in exchange for
Options, of options to purchase equity securities other than Shares (including,
if appropriate, equity securities of an entity other than the Company) (an
"assumption" of Options) on such terms and conditions as the Board determines
are appropriate, (b) accelerate the vesting and termination of outstanding
Options, in whole or in part, so that Options can be exercised before or
otherwise in connection with the closing or completion of the Fundamental
Transaction or event but then terminate and (c) cancel or arrange for the
cancellation of Options in exchange for cash payments to Optionees. The Board
need not adopt the same rules for each Option or each Optionee.

         10.4 CHANGES OF CONTROL. The Board may also, but need not, specify that
other transactions or events constitute a "CHANGE OF CONTROL". The Board may do
that either before or after the transaction or event occurs. Examples of
transactions or events that the Board may treat as Changes of Control are: (a)
the Company or an Affiliate is a party to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
or other transaction in which the beneficial stockholders of the Company,
immediately before the transaction, beneficially own securities representing 50%
or less of the total combined voting power or value of the Company immediately
after the transaction, (b) any person or entity, including a "group" as
contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires securities
holding 30% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company,
or (c) as a result of or in connection with a contested election of Company
Directors, the persons who were Company Directors immediately before the
election cease to constitute a majority of the Board. In connection with a
Change of Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board
may take any one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3. In addition,
the Board may extend the date for the exercise of Options (but not beyond their
original Expiration Date). The Board need not adopt the same rules for each
Option or each Optionee. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company or an
Affiliate is a party to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other
transaction in which the beneficial stockholders of the Company, immediately
before the transaction, beneficially own securities representing 50% or less of
the total combined voting power or value of the Company immediately after the
transaction, vesting of all Options shall be accelerated and they shall become
exercisable in full on the date of the transaction.


                                       11


         10.5 DIVESTITURE. If the Company or an Affiliate sells or otherwise
transfers equity securities of an Affiliate to a person or entity other than the
Company or an Affiliate, or leases, exchanges or transfers all or any portion of
its assets to such a person or entity, and Section 10.6 does not apply, then the
Board may specify that such transaction or event constitutes a "DIVESTITURE". In
connection with a Divestiture, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan,
the Board may take one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3 or 10.4
with respect to Options held by, for example, Employees, Directors or
Consultants for whom that transaction or event results in a Termination. The
Board need not adopt the same rules for each Option or each Optionee.

         10.6 SPIN-OFFS. In the event that the Company distributes shares of
capital stock of a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company (a "Subsidiary") to
its stockholders for no consideration (a "Spin-off"), upon any exercise after
the date of the Spin-off (the "Distribution Date") of an Option that was granted
before the Distribution Date, the person entitled to exercise such Option shall
receive, in consideration of the payment of the exercise price in effect on the
Distribution Date or as adjusted thereafter pursuant to this Section 10, (a) the
Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (b) for each Share as to which the
Option is exercised, the same kind and amount of whole shares of capital stock
of the Subsidiary as were received in the Spin-off by the holders of Shares with
respect to each Share held by them at the Distribution Date and (c) cash in an
amount determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator in lieu of any
fractional share of the Subsidiary. The provisions of this Section 10.6 shall
not apply in respect of a particular Spin-off to any Options granted on or after
the Distribution Date of that Spin-off. The provisions of Section 10.2 shall
apply MUTATIS MUTANDIS to changes effected after the Distribution Date of a
Spin-off in the capitalization of the stock of a Subsidiary distributed in that
Spin-off. Prior to the Distribution Date of any Spin-off to which this Section
10.6 may become applicable, the Board shall cause all necessary and appropriate
corporate action to be taken by the Subsidiary whose shares are to be
distributed in the Spin-off to reserve for issuance on the exercise of Options
the appropriate number of shares of the Subsidiary and otherwise to effect the
provisions of this Section 10.6.

         10.7 DISSOLUTION. If the Company adopts a plan of dissolution, the
Board may cause Options to be fully vested and exercisable (but not after their
Expiration Date) before the dissolution is completed but contingent on its
completion. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Option or each
Optionee. However, to the extent not exercised before the earlier of the
completion of the dissolution or their Expiration Date, Options shall terminate
just before the dissolution is completed.

         10.8 CUT-BACK TO PRESERVE BENEFITS. If the Administrator determines
that the net after-tax amount to be realized by any Optionee, taking into
account any accelerated vesting, termination of repurchase rights, or cash
payments to that Optionee in connection with any transaction or event addressed
in this Section 10 would be greater if one or more of those steps were not taken
or payments were not made with respect to that Optionee's Options or Option
Shares, then and to that extent one or more of those steps shall not be taken
and payments shall not be made.

11.      WITHHOLDING AND TAX REPORTING

         11.1 TAX WITHHOLDING OPTION

                  (a) GENERAL. Whenever Option Shares are issued or become free
of restrictions, the Company may require the Optionee to remit to the Company an
amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirement, whether
the related tax is imposed on the Optionee or the Company. The Company shall
have no obligation to deliver Option Shares or release Option Shares from an
escrow, or permit a transfer of Option Shares, until the Optionee has satisfied
those tax withholding obligations. Whenever payment in satisfaction of Options
is made in cash, the payment will be reduced by an amount sufficient to satisfy
all tax withholding requirements.


                                       12


                  (b) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Optionee shall pay any required
withholding using the forms of consideration described in Section 6.4(b), except
that, in the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may also permit the
Optionee to use any of the forms of payment described in Section 6.4(c)
available to the Optionee for payment for exercising his or her Option. The
Administrator may also permit Option Shares to be withheld to pay required
withholding. If the Administrator permits Option Shares to be withheld, the Fair
Market Value of the Option Shares withheld, as determined as of the date of
withholding, shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum
statutory withholding rates.

         11.2 REPORTING OF DISPOSITIONS. Any holder of Option Shares acquired
under an Incentive Stock Option shall promptly notify the Administrator,
following such procedures as the Administrator may require, of the sale or other
disposition of any of those Option Shares if the disposition occurs during: (a)
the longer of two years after the Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option and
one year after the date the Incentive Stock Option was exercised, or (b) such
other period as the Administrator has established.

12.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

         The grant of Options and the issuance and subsequent transfer of Option
Shares shall be subject to compliance with all Applicable Law, including all
applicable securities laws. Options may not be exercised, and Option Shares may
not be transferred, in violation of Applicable Law. Thus, for example, Options
may not be exercised unless: (a) a registration statement under the Securities
Act is then in effect with respect to the related Option Shares, or (b) in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Company, those Option Shares may be issued in
accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. The failure or
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body the authority
considered by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary or useful for the
lawful issuance of any Option Shares or their subsequent transfer shall relieve
the Company of any liability for failing to issue those Option Shares or
permitting their transfer. As a condition to the exercise of any Option or the
transfer of any Option Shares, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy
any requirements or qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to
comply with or evidence compliance with any Applicable Law.

13.      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN OR OUTSTANDING OPTIONS

         13.1 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may at any time amend,
suspend or terminate this Plan.

         13.2 STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company shall obtain the approval of the
Company's stockholders for any amendment to this Plan if stockholder approval is
necessary or desirable to comply with any Applicable Law or with the
requirements applicable to the grant of Options intended to be Incentive Stock
Options. The Board may also, but need not, require that the Company's
stockholders approve any other amendments to this Plan.

         13.3 EFFECT. No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan, and
no modification of any Option even in the absence of an amendment, suspension or
termination of this Plan, shall impair any existing contractual rights of any
Optionee unless the affected Optionee consents to the amendment, suspension,
termination or modification. However, no such consent shall be required if the
Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amendment,
suspension, termination or modification: (a) is required or advisable in order
for the Company, the Plan or the Option to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet the
requirements of any accounting standard or to avoid any adverse accounting
treatment, or (b) in connection with any transaction or event described in
Section 10, is in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The
Board may, but need not, take the tax consequences to affected Optionees into
consideration in acting under the preceding sentence. Those decisions will be
final, binding and conclusive. Termination of this Plan shall not affect the
Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it under this Plan
with respect to Options granted before the termination or Option Shares issued
under such Options even if those Option Shares are issued after the termination.


                                       13


14.      RESERVED RIGHTS

         14.1 NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THIS PLAN. This Plan shall not limit the power
of the Company or any Affiliate to adopt other incentive arrangements including,
for example, the grant or issuance of stock options, stock or other equity-based
rights under other plans or independently of any plan.

         14.2 UNFUNDED PLAN. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping
accounts may be established with respect to Optionees, any such accounts will be
used merely as a convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any
assets on account of this Plan, the grant of Options or the issuance of Option
Shares. The Company and the Administrator shall not be deemed to be a trustee of
stock or cash to be awarded under this Plan. Any obligations of the Company to
any Optionee shall be based solely upon contracts entered into under this Plan,
such as Option Agreements. No such obligations shall be deemed to be secured by
any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the Company. Neither the
Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for
the performance of any such obligations.

15.      SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS REGARDING OPTION SHARES

         15.1 ESCROWS AND PLEDGES. To enforce any restrictions on Option Shares,
the Administrator may require their holder to deposit the certificates
representing Option Shares, with stock powers or other transfer instruments
approved by the Administrator endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent of
the Company to hold in escrow until the restrictions have lapsed or terminated.
The Administrator may also cause a legend or legends referencing the
restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Optionee who delivers a
promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Option
Shares will be required to pledge and deposit with the Company some or all of
the Option Shares as collateral to secure the payment of the note. However, the
Administrator may require or accept other or additional forms of collateral to
secure the note and, in any event, the Company will have full recourse against
the maker of the note, notwithstanding any pledge or other collateral.

         15.2 MARKET STANDOFF. If requested by the Company or a representative
of its underwriters in connection with a registration of any securities of the
Company under the Securities Act, Optionees or certain Optionees shall be
prohibited from selling some or all of their Option Shares during a period not
to exceed 180 days after the effective date of the Company's registration
statement. However, this restriction shall not apply to any registration
statement on Form S-8 or an equivalent registration statement.

16.      BENEFICIARIES

         An Optionee may file a written designation of one or more beneficiaries
who are to receive the Optionee's rights under the Optionee's Options after the
Optionee's death. An Optionee may change such a designation at any time by
written notice. If an Optionee designates a beneficiary, the beneficiary may
exercise the Optionee's Options after the Optionee's death. If an Optionee dies
when the Optionee has no living beneficiary designated under this Plan, the
Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the Optionee's estate to
exercise the Option or, if there is none, the person entitled to exercise the
Option under the Optionee's will or the laws of descent and distribution. In any
case, no Option may be exercised after its Expiration Date.

17.      MISCELLANEOUS

         17.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Plan, the Option Agreements and all other
agreements entered into under this Plan, and all actions taken under this Plan
or in connection with Options or Option Shares, shall be governed by the
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware.

         17.2 DETERMINATION OF VALUE. Fair Market Value shall be determined as
follows:

                  (a) LISTED STOCK. If the Shares are traded on any established
stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be
the mean between the highest and lowest sales prices for the Shares as quoted on
that stock exchange or system for the date the value is to be determined (the
"VALUE DATE") as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL or a similar publication.
If no sales are reported as having occurred on the Value Date, Fair Market Value
shall be that mean price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of
Shares are reported as having occurred. If no sales are reported as having
occurred during the five trading days before the Value Date, Fair Market Value
shall be the mean between the highest and lowest bids for Shares on the Value
Date. If Shares are listed on multiple exchanges or systems, Fair Market Value
shall be based on sales or bids on the primary exchange or system on which
Shares are traded or quoted.

                  (b) STOCK QUOTED BY SECURITIES DEALER. If Shares are regularly
quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on
any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair
Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the
Value Date. If no prices are quoted for the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall
be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the last preceding
trading day on which any bid and asked prices were quoted.

                  (c) NO ESTABLISHED MARKET. If Shares are not traded on any
established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not
quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Administrator (following
guidelines established by the Board or Committee) will determine Fair Market
Value in good faith. The Administrator will consider the following factors, and
any others it considers significant, in determining Fair Market Value: (i) the
price at which other securities of the Company have been issued to purchasers
other than Employees, Directors, or Consultants, (ii) the Company's net worth,
prospective earning power, dividend-paying capacity, and non-operating assets,
if any, and (iii) any other relevant factors, including the economic outlook for
the Company and the Company's industry, the Company's position in that industry,
the Company's goodwill and other intellectual property, and the values of
securities of other businesses in the same industry.

         17.3 RESERVATION OF SHARES. During the term of this Plan, the Company
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as are still
issuable under this Plan.

         17.4 ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. Any Option Agreement, notice of
exercise of an Option, or other document required or permitted by this Plan may
be delivered in writing or, to the extent determined by the Administrator,
electronically. Signatures may also be electronic if permitted by the
Administrator.

         17.5 NOTICES. Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise, any notice
to the Company under any Option Agreement or with respect to any Options or
Option Shares shall be in writing (or, if so authorized by Section 17.4,
communicated electronically), shall be addressed to the Secretary of the
Company, and shall only be effective when received by the Secretary of the
Company.
