         3.       Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of
Section 11 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be
optioned and sold under the Plan is 18,768,554 Shares, provided that at no time
shall the total number of shares issuable upon

                                       2



exercise of all outstanding Options under the Plan and the total number of
shares provided for under any stock bonus or similar plan of the Company exceed
thirty percent (30%) of the Company's then outstanding shares (as calculated in
accordance with Rule 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Administrative
Code). The Shares may be authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. If
an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having
been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares which were subject thereto shall,
unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for future Option
grants under the Plan.

         The Company intends that as long as it is not subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is not an investment
company registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, all offers and sales of Options and Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of any Option shall be exempt from registration under the provisions of Section
5 of the Securities Act, and the Plan shall be administered in such a manner so
as to preserve such exemption. The Company intends for the Plan to constitute a
written compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701(b) of 17 CFR
Section 230.701 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act. The Committee shall designate which Options granted under
the Plan by the Company are intended to be granted in reliance on Rule 701.

         4.       Administration of the Plan.

                  (a)      Procedure. The Plan shall be administered by the
Board. The Board may appoint a Committee consisting of not less than three (3)
members of the Board to administer the Plan on behalf of the Board, subject to
such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe. Once appointed, the
Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board. From
time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint
additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint
new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies, however caused, and remove
all members of the Committee and, thereafter, directly administer the Plan.
Members of the Board or Committee who are either eligible for Options or have
been granted Options may vote on any matters affecting the administration of the
Plan or the grant of Options pursuant to the Plan, except that no such member
shall act upon the granting of an Option to himself, but any such member may be
counted in determining the existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board or
the Committee during which action is taken with respect to the granting of an
Option to him.

                  (b)      Procedure After Registration Date. Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsection (a), after the Registration Date, the Plan shall be
administered either by: (i) the full Board, provided that a majority of the
Board and a majority of the directors acting with respect to the grant of each
Option at all times consists of Disinterested Persons; or (ii) a Committee which
at all times consists solely of Disinterested Persons. After the Registration
Date, the Board shall take all action necessary to administer the Plan in
accordance with the then effective provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act, provided that any amendment to the Plan required for
compliance with such provisions shall be made in accordance with Section 13 of
the Plan.

                                       3



                  (c)      Powers of the Committee. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority: (i) to determine, upon review
of relevant information, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (ii) to
determine the exercise price of Options to be granted, the Optionees to whom and
the time or times at which Options shall be granted, and the number of Shares to
be represented by each Option; (iii) to interpret the Plan; (iv) to prescribe,
amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (v) to determine
the terms and provisions of each Option granted under the Plan (which need not
be identical) and, with the consent of the holder thereof, to modify or amend
any Option; (vi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any
instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously granted by
the Committee; (vii) to accelerate or (with the consent of an Optionee) to defer
an exercise date of any Option subject to the provisions of Section 9(a) of the
Plan; (viii) to determine whether Options granted under the Plan will be
Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options; and (ix) to make all
other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan.

                  (d)      Effect of Committee's Decision. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding
on all Optionees and any other holder of an Option granted under the Plan.

         5.       Eligibility. Options under the Plan may be granted only to
Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants. Incentive Stock Options may be
granted only to Employees. An Employee who has been granted an Option, if he or
she is otherwise eligible, may be granted an additional Option or Options.
However, the aggregate fair market value (determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8(a) of the Plan) of the Shares subject to one or more
Incentive Stock Options that are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee
during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company and its
Parents and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000 (determined as of the grant
date).

         The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way
with his right or the Company's right to terminate his employment at any time.

         6.       Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon its
adoption by the Board or its approval by vote of the holders of the outstanding
shares of the Company entitled to vote on the adoption of the Plan (in
accordance with the provisions of Section 18 hereof), whichever is earlier. The
Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner
terminated under Section 13 of the Plan.

         7.       Term of Option. Unless the Committee determines otherwise at
the time of the grant of an Option, the term of each Nonstatutory Stock Option
granted under the Plan shall be ten (10) years and one (1) day from the date of
grant and the term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from
the date of grant. In all cases the term of the Option shall be set forth in the
Option Agreement. No Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the
expiration of ten (1 0) years from the date such Option is granted and no Option
granted to any Optionee who, at the date such Option is granted, owns (within
the meaning of Section 425(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the

                                       4



Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall be exercisable after the expiration of
five (5) years from the date such Option is granted.

         8.       Option Price and Consideration.

                  (a)      Option Price. Except as provided in subsection (b),
the option price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to any Option shall be
such price as is determined by the Committee, which shall in no event be less
than: (i) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the fair market value of such
Shares on the date the Option is granted; or (ii) in the case of Nonstatutory
Stock Options, 85% of such fair market value. Fair market value of the Common
Stock shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion using such criteria
as it deems relevant; provided, however, that where there is a public market for
the Common Stock, the fair market value per Share shall be the average of the
last reported bid and asked prices of the Common Stock on the date of grant, as
reported in The Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise
reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
(Nasdaq) System) or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a national
securities exchange (within the meaning of Section 6 of the Exchange Act), the
fair market value per Share shall be the closing price on such exchange on the
date of grant of the Option, as reported in The Wall Street Journal.

                  (b)      Ten Percent Shareholders. No Option shall be granted
to any Optionee who, at the date such Option is granted, owns (within the
meaning of Section 425(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, unless the option price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to such
Option is at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of such Shares on the
date determined by the Committee in the manner set forth in subsection (a)
above.

                  (c)      Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the
Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be payment in cash or by
check unless payment in some other manner, including by promissory note, other
shares of the Company's Common Stock or such other consideration and method of
payment for the issuance of Shares as may be permitted under Sections 408 and
409 of the California General Corporation Law, is authorized by the Committee at
the time of the grant of the Option.

         9.       Exercise of Option.

                  (a)      Vesting Period. Any Option granted hereunder shall be
exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the
Committee and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan, which shall
be specified in the Option Agreement evidencing the Option. Unless the committee
specifically determines otherwise at the time of the grant of the Option, each
Option shall vest and become exercisable, cumulatively, to the extent of
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Optioned Shares at the end of each of the first
four twelve (12) month periods after the date of grant of the Option, subject to
the Optionee's Continuous Employment. An Option may not be exercised for
fractional shares or for less than one hundred (100) shares.

                                       5



                  (b)      Exercise Procedures. An Option shall be deemed to be
exercised when written notice of such exercise has been given to the Company in
accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the
Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised has been received by the Company. As soon as practicable following the
exercise of an Option in the manner set forth above, the Company shall issue or
cause its transfer agent to issue stock certificates representing the Shares
purchased. Until the issuance of such stock certificates (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights
as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Shares notwithstanding
the exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificates are
issued except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

                  (c)      Exercise of Option With Stock. If an Optionee is
permitted to exercise an Option by delivering shares of the Company's Common
Stock, the Option Agreement covering such Option may include provisions
authorizing the Optionee to exercise the Option, in whole or in part, by: (i)
delivering whole shares of the Company's Common Stock previously owned by such
Optionee (whether or not acquired through the prior exercise of a stock option)
having a fair market value equal to the option price; and/or (ii) directing the
Company to withhold from the Shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise
of the Option that number of whole Shares having a fair market value equal to
the option price. Shares of the Company's Common Stock so delivered or withheld
shall be valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise of the
Option, as determined by the Committee. Any balance of the exercise price shall
be paid in cash. Any shares delivered or withheld in accordance with this
provision shall again become available for purposes of the Plan and for Options
subsequently granted hereunder.

                  (d)      Termination of Status as Employee or Non-Employee
Director. If an Optionee shall cease to be an Employee or Non-Employee Director
for any reason other than permanent and total disability or death, he may, but
only within 30 days (or such other period of time as is determined by the
Committee) after the date he ceases to be an Employee or Non-Employee Director,
exercise his Option to the extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the
date of such termination, subject to the condition that no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of the Option period.

                  (e)      Disability of Optionee. In the event of the permanent
and total disability during the Option period of an Optionee who is at the time
of such disability, or was within the 90-day period prior thereto, an Employee
or Non-Employee Director and who was in Continuous Employment as such from the
date of the grant of the Option until the date of disability or termination, the
Option may be exercised at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days
following the date of disability, but only to the extent of the accrued right to
exercise at the time of the termination or disability, whichever comes first,
subject to the condition that no option shall be exercised after the expiration
of the Option period.

                  (f)      Death of Optionee. In the event of the death during
the Option period of an Optionee who is at the time of his death, or was within
the 90-day period immediately prior thereto, an Employee or Non-Employee
Director and who was in Continuous Employment as such from the date of the grant
of the Option until the date of death or termination, the Option

                                       6



may be exercised, at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days following the
date of death, by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the
accrued right to exercise at the time of the termination or death, whichever
comes first.

                  (g)      Tax Withholding. When an Optionee is required to pay
to the Company an amount with respect to tax withholding obligations in
connection with the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan, the Optionee
may elect, prior to the date the amount of such withholding tax is determined
(the "Tax Date") to make such payment, or such increased payment as the Optionee
elects to make up to the maximum federal, state and local marginal tax rates,
including any related FICA obligation, applicable to the Optionee and the
particular transaction, by: (i) delivering cash; (ii) delivering part or all of
the payment in previously owned stock (whether or not acquired through the prior
exercise of a stock option); and/or (iii) irrevocably directing the Company to
withhold from the Shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise of the
Option that number of whole Shares having a fair market value equal to the
amount of tax required or elected to be withheld (a "Withholding Election"). If
an Optionee's Tax Date is deferred for six months from the date of exercise and
the Optionee makes a Withholding Election, the Optionee will initially receive
the full amount of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, but
will be unconditionally obligated to surrender to the Company on the Tax Date
the number of Shares necessary to satisfy his minimum withholding requirements,
or such higher payment as he may have elected to make, plus cash for any
fractional share.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, Optionees who are officers or directors
of the Company may elect to deliver previously-owned stock or make a Withholding
Election only: (a) six months or more prior to the Tax Date; or (b) prior to the
Tax Date and within the "window period" specified in Rule 16b-3(e)(iii)
promulgated under the Exchange Act.

         10.      Non-Transferability of Options. An Option may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

         11.      Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any
required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, and the per share price thereof
in each such Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification, the payment of a
stock dividend on the Common Stock or any other increase or decrease in the
number of such shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration
by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities
of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

                                       7



         The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole
discretion, also make provision for adjusting the number or class of securities
covered by any Option, as well as the price to be paid therefor, in the event
that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights
offerings, or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common
Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into
any other corporation.

         Unless otherwise determined by the Board, upon the dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or upon any merger or consolidation, if the Company
is not the surviving corporation, the Options granted hereby shall continue in
full force and shall be assumed by the surviving or acquiring corporation.

         12.      Time of Granting Options. Unless otherwise specified by the
Committee, the date of grant of an Option under the Plan shall be the date on
which the Committee makes the determination granting such Option. Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Employee to whom an Option is so granted
within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

         13.      Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend or
terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem
advisable, except that, without approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding capital stock, no such revision or amendment shall change the number
of Shares subject to the Plan, change the designation of the class of employees
eligible to receive Options or add any material benefit to Optionees under the
Plan. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options
already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if the
Plan had not been amended or terminated.

         14.      Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued
with respect to an Option granted under the Plan unless the exercise of such
Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall
comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then b e listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent
and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such
Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is
required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

         15.      Reservation of Shares. During the term of this Plan the
Company will at all times reserve and keep available the number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Inability of the
Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction and authority
deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of
the nonissuance or sale of such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.

                                       8



         16.      Information to Optionee. During the term of any Option granted
under the Plan, the Company shall provide or otherwise make available to each
Optionee a copy of its financial statements at least annually.

         17.      Option Agreement. Options granted under the Plan shall be
evidenced by Option Agreements.

         18.      Shareholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital
stock of the Company entitled to vote.

                                       9
