1.   PURPOSES.

     (A)  The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Company's existing
Equity Incentive Plan adopted May 21, 1993 (the "Prior Plan"). The Prior Plan
hereby is amended and restated in its entirety as the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan
and shall become effective on the date of approval of the Plan by the Board (the
"Effective Date"). No options shall be granted under the Prior Plan from and
after the Effective Date. The terms of the Prior Plan (other than the aggregate
number of shares issuable thereunder) shall remain in effect and apply to all
options granted pursuant to the Prior Plan.

     (B)  The purpose of the Plan is to provide a means by which selected
Employees and Directors of and Consultants to the Company, and its Affiliates,
may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the stock of
the Company through the granting of (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii)
Nonstatutory Stock Options, (iii) stock bonuses, and (iv) rights to purchase
restricted stock.

     (C)  The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of
persons who are now Employees or Directors of or Consultants to the Company or
its Affiliates, to secure and retain the services of new Employees, Directors
and Consultants, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum
efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates.

     (D)  The Company intends that the Stock Awards issued under the Plan shall,
in the discretion of the Board or any Committee to which responsibility for
administration of the Plan has been delegated pursuant to subsection 3(c), be
either (i) Options granted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, including Incentive
Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options, or (ii) stock bonuses or rights to
purchase restricted stock granted pursuant to Section 7 hereof. All Options
shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock
Options at the time of grant, and in such form as issued pursuant to Section 6,
and a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares purchased
on exercise of each type of Option.

whether now or hereafter existing, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e)
and (f) respectively, of the Code.

the Participant renders service to the Company or an Affiliate as an Employee,
Consultant or Director or a change in the entity for which the Participant
renders such service, provided that there is no interruption or termination of
the Participant's Continuous Service. For example, a change in status from an
Employee of the Company to a Consultant or a Director of an Affiliate will not
constitute an interruption of Continuous Service as an Employee. The Board or
the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party's sole discretion, may
determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case

personal leave; or (ii) transfers between the Company, its Affiliates or their
successors.

issuable upon such Calculation Date assuming the conversion of all outstanding
Preferred Stock and convertible notes, plus (iii) the additional number of
dilutive Common Stock equivalent shares outstanding as the result of any options
or warrants outstanding during the fiscal year, calculated using the treasury
stock method.    
       
     (L)  Employee means any person, including an Officer or Director, employed
by the Company or any Affiliate. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a
director's fee by the Company shall be sufficient to constitute "employment" by
the Company.   
       
     (M)  Exchange Act means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.

day prior to the day of determination, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or
such other source as the Board deems reliable;

          (III) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock,
the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

          (IV)  Prior to the Listing Date, the value of the Common Stock shall
be determined in a manner consistent with Section 260.140.50 of Title 10 of the
California Code of Regulations.
       
     (O)  Listing Date means the first date upon which any security of the
Company is listed (or approved for listing) upon notice of issuance on any

3.   ADMINISTRATION.

     (A)  The Plan shall be administered by the Board unless and until the Board
delegates administration to a Committee, as provided in subsection 3(c).

     (B)  The Board shall have the power, subject to, and within the limitations
of, the express provisions of the Plan:

          (I)   To determine from time to time which of the persons eligible
under the Plan shall be granted Stock Awards; when and how each Stock Award
shall be granted; whether a Stock Award will be an Incentive Stock Option, a
Nonstatutory Stock Option, a stock bonus, a right to purchase restricted stock,

be permitted to receive stock pursuant to a Stock Award; and the number of
shares with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such person.

          (II)  To construe and interpret the Plan and Stock Awards granted
under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its
administration. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any
defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any

                                       4.
<PAGE>

Stock Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or
expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

          (III) To amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in Section 13.

          (IV)  Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as
the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the
Company which are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.

     (C)  The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a Committee or
Committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term "Committee" shall
apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. If
administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed
by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the
administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in
this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee),
subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of
the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may
abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of
the Plan. In the discretion of the Board, a Committee may consist solely of two
or more Outside Directors, in accordance with Code Section 162(m), or solely of
two or more Non-Employee Directors, in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Within the
scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (1) delegate to a
committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Directors the
authority to grant Stock Awards to eligible persons who are either (a) not then
Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of
recognition of income resulting from such Stock Award, or (b) not persons with
respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code,

not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Stock Awards to eligible
persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

4.   SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
       
     (A)  Subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, the stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall
not exceed in the aggregate fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the last day of each
fiscal year (the "Calculation Date"), commencing with January 31, 1999, the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are available for issuance
under the Plan shall automatically be increased by a number of shares equal to
five percent (5%) of the Diluted Shares Outstanding. If any Stock Award shall
for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without
having been exercised in full, the stock not acquired under such Stock Award
shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.   

                                       5.
<PAGE>

     (B)  Except as adjusted pursuant to Section 12 of the Plan, however, no
more than fifteen million (15,000,000) of the shares eligible for issuance under
the Plan shall be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the
Plan.

     (C)  The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired
shares, bought on the market or otherwise.

     (D)  Prior to the Listing Date, at no time shall the total number of shares
issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Options and the total number of shares
provided for under any stock bonus or similar plan of the Company exceed the
applicable percentage as calculated in accordance with the conditions and
exclusions of Section 260.140.45 of Title 10 of the California Code of
Regulations, based on the shares of the Company which are outstanding at the
time the calculation is made.

5.   ELIGIBILITY.

     (A)  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Stock Awards
other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, Directors
or Consultants.

     (B)  No person shall be eligible for the grant of an Option or an award of
purchase of restricted stock if, at the time of grant, such person owns (or is
deemed to own pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) stock possessing more than
ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company or of any of its Affiliates unless the exercise price of such Option
is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of such
stock at the date of grant, the exercise price of such restricted stock award is
at least one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of such stock at
the date of grant and the Stock Award is not exercisable after the expiration of
five years from the date of grant. After the Listing Date, this provision shall
apply only to Incentive Stock Options.

     (C)  Subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to adjustments upon
changes in stock, no employee shall be eligible to be granted Options covering
more than one million (1,000,000) shares of the Common Stock during any calendar
year. This subsection shall not apply prior to the Listing Date and, following
the Listing Date, this subsection shall not apply until (i) the earliest of: (A)
the first material modification of the Plan (including any increase to the
number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan in accordance with Section
4); (B) the issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan; (C) the expiration of the Plan; or (D) the first meeting of
shareholders at which Directors of the Company are to be elected that occurs
after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year in which
occurred the first registration of an equity security under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act; or (ii) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.   OPTION PROVISIONS.

     Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  The provisions of separate
Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the
substance of each of the following provisions:

     (A)  TERM. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years
from the date it was granted.

     (B)  PRICE. The exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not
less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of the stock
subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of
each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less than eighty five percent (85%)
of the Fair Market Value of the stock subject to the Option on the date the
Option is granted.

     (C)  CONSIDERATION. The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to an
Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and
regulations, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised, or (ii) at
the discretion of the Board or the Committee, at the time of the grant of the
Option, (a) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (b) according to a
deferred payment or other arrangement (which may include, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the use of other Common Stock) with the person to
whom the Option is granted or to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to
subsection 6(d), or (C) in any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board; provided, however, that at any time that the Company is
incorporated in Delaware, then payment of the Common Stock's "par value," as
defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred
payment. In the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be
compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of
interest necessary to avoid the treatment as interest, under any applicable
provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest
under the deferred payment arrangement.

     (D)  TRANSFERABILITY. An Incentive Stock Option and, prior to the Listing
Date, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the
lifetime of the person to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted only by
such person. After the Listing Date, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be
transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Nonstatutory
Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom
the Option is granted only by such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of subsection 6(f), the person to whom the Option is granted may, by
delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionee, shall
thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

     (E)  VESTING. The total number of shares of stock subject to an Option may,
but need not, be allotted in periodic installments (which may, but need not, be
equal). The Option Agreement may provide that from time to time during each of
such installment periods, the

                                       7.
<PAGE>

Option may become exercisable ("vest") with respect to some or all of the shares
allotted to that period, and may be exercised with respect to some or all of the
shares allotted to such period and/or any prior period as to which the Option
became vested but was not fully exercised. The Option may be subject to such
other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised which
may be based upon performance or other criteria as the Board may deem
appropriate. The provisions of this subsection 6(e) are subject to any Option
provisions governing the minimum number of shares as to which an Option may be
exercised.

     (F)  MINIMUM VESTING PRIOR TO THE LISTING DATE. Notwithstanding the
foregoing subsection, Options granted prior to the Listing Date shall provide
for vesting of the total number of shares at a rate of at least twenty percent
(20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Option was granted, subject
to reasonable conditions such as continued employment. However, in the case of
such Options granted to officers, directors or consultants (within the meaning
of Section 260.140.41 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations), the
Option may become fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as
continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the
Company; for example, the vesting provision of the Option may provide for
vesting of less than twenty percent (20%) per year of the total number of shares
subject to the Option.

     (G)  TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. In the event an Optionee's
Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionee's death or
disability), the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the
Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination) but only within
such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after
the termination of the Optionee's Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter
period specified in the Option Agreement, which, for Options granted prior to
the Listing Date, shall not be less than thirty (30) days unless such
termination is for cause), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as
set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionee does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement,
the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert
to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

     (H)  DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE. In the event an Optionee's Continuous Service
terminates as a result of the Optionee's disability, the Optionee may exercise
his or her Option, (to the extent such Optionee was entitled to exercise it at
the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the
earlier of (i) the date twelve (12) months following such termination (or such
longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which, for Options
granted prior to the Listing Date, shall not be less than six (6) months) or
(ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance
under the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the
shares covered by such Option shall revert to and again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

     (I)  DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee during, or
within a period specified in the Option after the termination of, the Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee, Director, or Consultant, the Option may be
exercised (to the extent the Optionee was

                                       8.
<PAGE>

entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death) by the Optionee's estate,
by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the option upon the Optionee's
death pursuant to subsection 6(d), but only within the period ending on the
earlier of (i) the date eighteen (18) months following the date of death (or
such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement, which, for
Options granted prior to the Listing Date, shall not be less than six (6)
months), or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance
under the Plan. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such
Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan.

     (J)  EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision
whereby the Optionee may elect at any time before the Optionee's Continuous
Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares
subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Subject to the
repurchase option limitations specified in subsection 11(h), any unvested shares
so purchased may be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company or to
any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.

     (K)  RE-LOAD OPTIONS. Without in any way limiting the authority of the
Board or Committee to make or not to make grants of Options hereunder, the Board
or Committee shall have the authority (but not an obligation) to include as part
of any Option Agreement a provision entitling the Optionee to a further Option
(a "Re-Load Option") in the event the Optionee exercises the Option evidenced by
the Option agreement, in whole or in part, by surrendering other shares of
Common Stock in accordance with this Plan and the terms and conditions of the
Option Agreement. Any such Re-Load Option (i) shall be for a number of shares
equal to the number of shares surrendered as part or all of the exercise price
of such Option; (ii) shall have an expiration date which is the same as the
expiration date of the Option the exercise of which gave rise to such Re-Load
Option; and (iii) shall have an exercise price which is equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Re-
Load Option on the date of exercise of the original Option or, in the case of a
Re-Load Option which is an Incentive Stock Option and which is granted to a ten
percent (10%) shareholder (as described in subsection 5(c)), shall have an
exercise price which is equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value of the stock subject to the Re-Load Option on the date of exercise
of the original Option.

     Any such Re-Load Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option, as the Board or Committee may designate at the time of the grant
of the original Option; provided, however, that the designation of any Re-Load
Option as an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to the one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) annual limitation on exercisability of Incentive Stock
Options described in subsection 11(d) of the Plan and in Section 422(d) of the
Code.  There shall be no Re-Load Options on a Re-Load Option.  Any such Re-Load

7.   TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES AND PURCHASES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

     Each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement shall be in such
form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee
shall deem appropriate.  The terms and conditions of stock bonus or restricted
stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and
conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreement shall include (through incorporation of
provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of
each of the following provisions as appropriate:

     (A)  PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price under each restricted stock
purchase agreement shall be such amount as the Board or Committee shall
determine and designate in such agreement but in no event shall the purchase
price be less than eighty five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market Value on
the date such award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board or the
Committee may determine that eligible participants in the Plan may be awarded
stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past services
actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit. For grants prior to the
Listing Date, the purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement
shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the stock's Fair Market
Value on the date such award is made or at the time the purchase is consummated.

     (B)  TRANSFERABILITY. Rights to purchase shares under a stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreement granted prior to the Listing Date shall not
be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the Stock Award
is granted only by such person. Rights to purchase shares under a stock bonus or
restricted stock purchase agreement granted on or after the Listing Date shall
be transferable by the grantee only upon such terms and conditions as are set
forth in the applicable Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in
its discretion, so long as stock awarded under such Stock Award Agreement
remains subject to the terms of the agreement.

     (C)  CONSIDERATION.  The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to a
stock purchase agreement shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of
purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, according to a
deferred payment or other arrangement with the person to whom the stock is sold;
or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board or the Committee in their discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board or the Committee to which administration of the Plan has been delegated
may award stock pursuant to a stock bonus agreement in consideration for past
services actually rendered to the Company or for its benefit.

     (D)  VESTING. Subject to the repurchase option limitations specified in
subsection 11(h), shares of stock sold or awarded under the Plan may, but need
not, be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company in accordance
with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board or the Committee.

     (E)  TERMINATION OF CONTINUOUS SERVICE. Subject to the repurchase option
limitations specified in subsection 11(h), in the event a Participant's
Continuous Service

                                      10.
<PAGE>

terminates, the Company may repurchase or otherwise reacquire any or all of the
shares of stock held by that person which have not vested as of the date of
termination under the terms of the stock bonus or restricted stock purchase
agreement between the Company and such person.

8.   CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS.

     The Board or the Committee shall have the authority to effect, at any time
and from time to time, (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options, and (ii)
with the consent of the affected holders of Options, the cancellation of any
outstanding Options under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of new
Options under the Plan covering the same or different numbers of shares of
stock, but having an exercise price per share not less than eighty five percent
(85%) of the Fair Market Value (one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or, in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) shareholder (as described in
subsection 5(c)), not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair
Market Value) per share of stock on the new grant date.

9.   COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

     (A)  During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available
at all times the number of shares of stock required to satisfy such Stock
Awards.

     (B)  The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the Stock Award; provided,
however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under
the Securities Act either the Plan, any Stock Award or any stock issued or
issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the
Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the
authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance
and sale of stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any
liability for failure to issue and sell stock upon exercise of such Stock Awards
unless and until such authority is obtained.

10.  USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.
    
     Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute
general funds of the Company.

11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     (A)  The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock
Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part
thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in
the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time
during which it will vest.

     (B)  Neither an Employee, Director or Consultant nor any person to whom a
Stock Award is transferred under subsection 6(d) or 7(b) shall be deemed to be
the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any
shares subject to such Stock Award unless and until such person has satisfied
all requirements for exercise of the Stock Award pursuant to its terms.

                                      11.
<PAGE>

     (C)  Prior to the Listing Date, as required by Section 260.140.46 of Title
10 of the California Code of Regulations, the Company shall deliver financial
statements to Participants at least annually. This subsection shall not apply to
key Employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure them access to
equivalent information.

     (D)  Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted
pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Employee, Director, Consultant or other
holder of Stock Awards any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any
Affiliate (or to continue acting as a Director or Consultant) or shall affect
the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or
relationship as a Director or Consultant of any Employee, Director, Consultant
or other holder of Stock Awards with or without cause.

     (E)  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time of grant) of stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year under
all plans of the Company and its Affiliates exceeds one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according
to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock
Options.

     (F)  The Company may require any person to whom a Stock Award is granted,
or any person to whom a Stock Award is transferred pursuant to subsection 6(d)
or 7(b), as a condition of exercising or acquiring stock under any Stock Award,
(i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to such person's
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a
purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is
knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters, and that he or
she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser
representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award; and (ii) to
give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such person is
acquiring the stock subject to the Stock Award for such person's own account and
not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock.
The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award has been registered under
a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or
(2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the
Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the
then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the
Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such
counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable
securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer
of the stock.

     (G)  To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the
person to whom a Stock Award is granted may satisfy any federal, state or local
tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of stock
under a Stock Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such
means: (1) tendering a cash payment; (2) authorizing the Company to withhold
shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the participant
as a result of the exercise or acquisition of stock under the Stock Award; or
(3) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

                                      12.

     (H)  The terms of any repurchase option shall be specified in the Stock
Award and may be either at fair market value or at not less than the original
purchase price. As required by Section 260.140.41 and Section 260.140.42 of
Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, any repurchase option in a Stock
Award granted prior to the Listing Date and held by a person other than an
Officer, Director or Consultant shall be upon the terms described below :

          (I)   If repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase
the shares upon termination of employment at not less than the fair market value
of the shares to be purchased on the date of termination of employment, then (1)
the right to repurchase shall be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase
money indebtedness for the shares within ninety (90) days of termination of
employment (or in the case of shares issued upon exercise of Stock Awards after
the date of termination, within ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise)
or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant
(for example, for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3)
of the Code regarding "qualified small business stock"), and (2) the right
terminates when the shares become publicly traded.

          (II)  If repurchase option gives the Company the right to repurchase
the shares upon termination of employment at the original purchase price, then
(1) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the
rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares per year over five (5) years
from the date the Stock Award is granted (without respect to the date the Stock
Award was exercised or became exercisable) and (2) the right to repurchase shall
be exercised for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness for the
shares within ninety (90) days of termination of employment (or in the case of
shares issued upon exercise of Options after the date of termination, within
ninety (90) days after the date of the exercise) or such longer period as may be
agreed to by the Company and the Participant (for example, for purposes of
satisfying the requirements of Section 1202(c)(3) of the Code regarding
"qualified small business stock").

12.  ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

     (A)  If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject to
any Stock Award (through merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock
split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change
in corporate structure or otherwise), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in
the class(es) and maximum number of shares subject to the Plan pursuant to
subsection 4(a) and the outstanding Stock Awards will be appropriately adjusted
in class(es) and number of shares and price per share of stock subject to such
outstanding Stock Awards.

     (B)  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then,
upon advance written notice by the Company of at least ten (10) business days to
the holders of any Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards
shall be terminated if not exercised (if applicable) prior to such event.

     (C)  In the event of (1) a sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Company, (2) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation or (3) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the
merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other

                                      13.
<PAGE>

property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, then any
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation shall assume any Stock Awards
outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar stock awards (including
an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the
transaction described in this subsection for those outstanding under the Plan.
In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to
assume such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those
outstanding under the Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held by persons
whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards
(and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised)
shall be accelerated upon prior written notice by the Company to the holders of
such Stock Awards at least five (5) business days prior to such event and the
Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to
such event. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan,
upon advance written notice by the Company of at least five (5) business days to
the holders of such Stock Awards, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not
exercised (if applicable) prior to such event.

13.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND STOCK AWARDS.

     (A)  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan.
However, except as provided in Section 12 relating to adjustments upon changes
in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of
the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any Nasdaq or securities
exchange listing requirements.
    
     (B)  The Board may in its sole discretion submit any other amendment to the
Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the
Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based
compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to
certain executive officers.

     (C)  It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any
respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees,
Directors or Consultants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided
under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder
relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive
Stock Options granted under it into compliance therewith.

     (D)  Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted before amendment
of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted
and (ii) such person consents in writing.

     (E)  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of
any one or more Stock Award; provided, however that the rights and obligations
under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the
Company requests the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted
and (ii) such person consents in writing.

                                      14.

terminated, the Plan shall terminate at the close of business on February 16,
2008, which shall be within ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by
the Board or approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is sooner.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Incentive Stock Options shall be granted, if
at all, no later than the last day preceding the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
earlier of (i) the date on which the latest increase in the maximum number of
shares issuable under the Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company

granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

     (B)  Rights and obligations under any Stock Award granted while the Plan is
in effect shall not be altered or impaired by suspension or termination of the
Plan, except with the consent of the person to whom the Stock Award was granted.

15.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

     The Plan shall become effective on the date adopted by the Board, but no
Options or rights to purchase restricted stock shall be exercised, and no stock
bonuses shall be granted under the Plan, unless and until the Plan has been
approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
