Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in
any of the capacities set forth above,


                                     II-1
<PAGE>   3

against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification may be made in respect to any claim issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action
or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

         Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer
of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense
of any such action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b)
of Section 145 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that the indemnification
provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
which the indemnified party may be entitled; that indemnification provided by
Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified,
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and
administrators; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability
asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out
of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.

         Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law or the State of
Delaware provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         Article Eleventh of the Registrant's Charter provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same
exists or as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the Registrant shall
be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

         Section 6.1 of the Registrant's Bylaws further provides that the
Registrant shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its directors and
officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was
an agent of the Registrant.

         The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each
of its directors and officers.

         The Registrant maintains $15,000,000 of officers' and directors'
liability insurance.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during
any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this
Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the
purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Registrant's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, International Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and the Smart Technologies, Inc.
1996 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.

         B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that
is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement


                                     II-3
<PAGE>   5
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933
Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

                  Re:      i2 Technologies, Inc.-Registration Statement for
                           Offering of 13,836,432 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
an aggregate of 13,836,432 shares of common stock (the "Shares") and related
stock options under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, International
Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan and the
Smart Technologies, Inc. 1996 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plans").

         This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of
Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

         We have reviewed the Company's charter documents and the corporate
proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the Plans and the options
outstanding thereunder. Based on such review, we are of the opinion that if, as
and when the Shares are issued and sold (and the consideration therefore
received) pursuant to the provisions of option agreements duly authorized under
he Plans and in accordance with the Registration Statement, such Shares will be
duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement.

         This opinion letter is rendered as of the date first written above and
we disclaim any obligation to advise you of facts, circumstances, events or
developments which hereafter may be brought to our attention and which may
alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein. Our opinion is expressly
limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by
implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Company, the
Plans, or the Shares.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       BROBECK, PHLEGER & HARRISON LLP

                        Consent of Independent Auditors

S-8) pertaining to 1) the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 2) the International

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                          EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                (As Amended and Restated Through April 11, 1999)


      I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         This Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests
of i2 Technologies, Inc. by providing eligible employees with the opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation through participation in a
payroll-deduction based employee stock purchase plan designed to qualify under
Section 423 of the Code.

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

     II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and
construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for
administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 423. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

    III. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

         A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized
but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock
purchased on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 2,500,000 shares(1).

         B. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without
the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be
made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the Plan,
(ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per Participant on
any one Purchase Date and (iii) the number and class of securities and the price
per share in effect under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent
the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

     IV. PURCHASE PERIODS

         A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan
through a series of successive purchase periods until such time as (i) the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

- --------------------
         1 Share numbers have been adjusted to reflect the 2 for 1 stock split
effected on June 2, 1998.


                                       1
<PAGE>   2
         B. Each purchase period shall have a duration of six (6) months.
Purchase periods shall run from the first business day in May to the last
business day in October and from the first business day in November to the last
business day in April. However, the first purchase period shall begin at the
Effective Time and end on the last business day in October 1996.

      V. ELIGIBILITY

         A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee at the Effective Time
may enter a purchase period under the Plan on the start date of such purchase
period, provided he or she remains an Eligible Employee on that date.

         B. Each individual who becomes an Eligible Employee after the Effective
Time may enter a purchase period under the Plan after completion of thirty (30)
days of Service, provided he or she is an Eligible Employee on the start date of
such purchase period.

         C. To participate in the Plan for a particular purchase period, the
Eligible Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan
Administrator (including a stock purchase agreement and a payroll deduction
authorization form) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator (or its
designate) on or before the start date of the purchase period.

     VI. PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

         A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of
acquiring shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be any multiple of one
percent (1%) of the Base Salary paid to the Participant during each purchase
period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The deduction rate so
authorized shall continue in effect for the entire purchase period. The
Participant may not increase his or her rate of payroll deduction during a
purchase period. However, the Participant may, at any time during the purchase
period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon
as possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The
Participant may not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction per
purchase period.

         B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day following the
start date of the purchase period and shall (unless sooner terminated by the
Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to
the last day of the purchase period. The amounts so collected shall be credited
to the Participant's book account under the Plan, but no interest shall be paid
on the balance from time to time outstanding in such account. The amounts
collected from the Participant shall not be held in any segregated account or
trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets of the Corporation and
used for general corporate purposes.

         C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of
the Participant's purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

         D. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any
Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's acquisition of
Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
    VII. PURCHASE RIGHTS

         A. GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. A Participant shall be granted a separate
purchase right on the start date of each purchase period in which he or she
participates. The purchase right shall provide the Participant with the right to
purchase shares of Common Stock on the Purchase Date upon the terms set forth
below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such
terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan
Administrator may deem advisable.

         Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan
to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant,
own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or
other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation
or any Corporate Affiliate.

         B. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT. Each purchase right shall be
automatically exercised on the Purchase Date, and shares of Common Stock shall
accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant (other than any
Participant whose payroll deductions have previously been refunded in accordance
with the Termination of Purchase Right provisions below) on such date. The
purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant's payroll deductions for
the purchase period ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of shares of
Common Stock (subject to the limitation on the maximum number of shares
purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date) at the purchase price in
effect for that purchase period.

         C. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share at which Common Stock
will be purchased on the Participant's behalf on each Purchase Date shall be
equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock on the start date of the purchase period or (ii) the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date.

         D. NUMBER OF PURCHASABLE SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date shall be the number of shares
obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll
deductions during the purchase period ending with that Purchase Date by the
purchase price in effect for that Purchase Date. However, the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date
shall not exceed 2,000 shares, subject to periodic adjustments in the event of
certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization.

         E. EXCESS PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Any payroll deductions not applied to the
purchase of Common Stock by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of
shares purchasable by the Participant on the Purchase Date shall be promptly
refunded.

         F. TERMINATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. The following provisions shall govern
the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

                  (i) A Participant may, at any time prior to the last day of
         the purchase period, terminate his or her outstanding purchase right by
         filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its
         designate), and no further


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
         payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect
         to the terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected
         during the purchase period in which such termination occurs shall, at
         the Participant's election, be immediately refunded or held for the
         purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such election is
         made at the time such purchase right is terminated, then the payroll
         deductions collected with respect to the terminated right shall be
         refunded as soon as possible.

                  (ii) The termination of such purchase right shall be
         irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin the
         purchase period for which the terminated purchase right was granted. In
         order to resume participation in any subsequent purchase period, such
         individual must re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the
         prescribed enrollment forms) on or before the start date of the new
         purchase period.

                  (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible
         Employee for any reason (including death, disability or change in
         status) while his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that
         purchase right shall immediately terminate, and all of the
         Participant's payroll deductions for the purchase period in which the
         purchase right so terminates shall be immediately refunded. However,
         should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of
         an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have
         the right, exercisable up until the last business day of the purchase
         period in which such leave commences, to (a) withdraw the payroll
         deductions collected during such purchase period or (b) have such funds
         held for the purchase of shares at the next scheduled Purchase Date. In
         no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be collected on
         the Participant's behalf during such leave. Upon the Participant's
         return to active service, his or her payroll deductions under the Plan
         shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave
         began.

         G. CORPORATE TRANSACTION. Each outstanding purchase right shall
automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any
Corporate Transaction, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant
for the purchase period in which such Corporate Transaction occurs to the
purchase of shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to
eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the start date of the purchase period in which such Corporate
Transaction occurs or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction. However,
the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase.

         The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten
(10)-days prior written notice of the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction,
and Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to
terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the
Corporate Transaction.


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
         H. PRORATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. Should the total number of shares of
Common Stock which are to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights
on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance
under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the
available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll
deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate
purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall
be refunded.

         I. ASSIGNABILITY. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the
Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

         J. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no stockholder rights
with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right
until the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of
the purchased shares.

   VIII. ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

         A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common
Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the
extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock
accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar
rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of
Code Section 423) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise
permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate
(determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of such stock on the date or
dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any
time outstanding.

         B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations, the following
provisions shall be in effect:

                  (i) The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding
         purchase right shall accrue on the Purchase Date in effect for the
         purchase period for which such right is granted.

                  (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding
         purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already
         accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock
         under one (1) or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to
         Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of Common Stock
         (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date
         or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time
         outstanding.

Participant does not accrue for a particular purchase period, then the payroll
deductions which the Participant made during that purchase period with respect

     IX. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

         A. The Plan was adopted by the Board in March 1996 and shall become

hereunder, until (i) the Plan shall have been approved by the stockholders of
the Corporation and (ii) the Corporation shall have complied with all applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of
any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the

have no further force or effect and all sums collected from Participants during
the initial purchase period hereunder shall be refunded.

         B. The Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 1999 to increase the
number of shares of common stock available under the Plan by 1,500,000 shares to
2,500,000 shares. No purchase rights shall be granted and no shares of Common
Stock shall be granted on the basis of such 1,500,000 share increase unless and
until the shareholders approve the increase at the 1999 Annual Meeting.

         C. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon
the earliest of (i) the last business day in April 2006, (ii) the date on which
all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been sold pursuant
to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which all
purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Corporate Transaction. No
further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll
deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

      X. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         The Board may alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time
to become effective immediately following the close of any purchase period.
However, the Board may not, without the approval of the Corporation's
stockholders, (i) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable under the Plan or the maximum number of shares purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date, except for permissible adjustments in the
event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization, (ii) alter the
purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price payable for the shares
of Common Stock purchasable under the Plan, or (iii) materially increase the
benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially modify the
requirements for eligibility to participate in the Plan.

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                   INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
                   (As Amended and Restated on April 11, 1999)



I.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

                  This International Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to
promote the interests of i2 Technologies, Inc. by providing eligible employees
of the Corporation's Foreign Subsidiaries with the opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Corporation through the purchase of shares of the
Corporation's common stock at periodic intervals.

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

II.      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

                  The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret
and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations
for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary. Decisions of the Plan
Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties having an interest in
the Plan.

III.     STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

         A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized
but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock
purchased on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which
may be issued over the term of the Plan and the U.S. Plan shall not exceed
2,500,000 shares.(1)

         B. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without
the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be
made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the Plan
and the U.S. Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable
per Participant on any one Purchase Date and (iii) the number and class of
securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding purchase
right in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder.




- --------

    (1) Share numbers have been adjusted to reflect the 2 for 1 stock split
effected on June 2, 1998.

IV.      PURCHASE PERIODS

         A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan
through a series of successive purchase periods until such time as (i) the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

         B. Each purchase period shall have a duration of six (6) months.
Purchase periods shall run from the first business day in May to the last
business day in October the same year and from the first business day in
November to the last business day in April of the following year. The first
purchase period shall begin on the Effective Date and end on the last business
day in October 1997.

V.       ELIGIBILITY

         A. Each Eligible Employee may enter a purchase period under the Plan
after completion of thirty (30) days of Service, provided he or she is an
Eligible Employee on the start date of such purchase period.

         B. To participate in the Plan for a particular purchase period, the
Eligible Employee must complete the enrollment form(s) prescribed by the Plan
Administrator and file such form(s) with the Plan Administrator (or its
designate) on or before the start date of the purchase period. However, any
Employee of a Foreign Subsidiary who is a participant in the U.S. Plan
immediately prior to the Effective Date shall automatically become a Participant
in the initial purchase period under the Plan and such individual's payroll
deductions under the Plan shall continue at the same rate authorized under the
U.S. Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date unless the Participant shall
change such rate in accordance with Section VI.C.

VI.      PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

         A. Except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan (or any addendum
thereto) or authorized by the Plan Administrator, the purchase price for the
shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan shall be paid from accumulated
payroll deductions authorized by the Participant.

         B. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of
acquiring shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be any multiple of one
percent (1%) of the Base Salary paid to the Participant during each purchase
period, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%). The payroll deduction
authorized by the Participant shall be collected in the currency in which paid
by the Foreign Subsidiary. The payroll deductions collected during each calendar
month shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the Monthly Exchange Date for that
month on the basis of the exchange rate in effect on that date. The Plan
Administrator shall have the absolute discretion to determine the applicable
exchange rate to be in effect for each Monthly Exchange Date by any reasonable
method which may be based on the exchange rate actually available in the
ordinary course of business on such date. Any changes or fluctuations in the
exchange rate at







                                       2
<PAGE>   3


which the payroll deductions collected on the Participant's behalf are converted
into U.S. Dollars on each Monthly Exchange Date shall be borne solely by the
Participant.

         C. The rate of payroll deduction authorized by each Participant shall
continue in effect from purchase period to purchase period, except to the extent
such rate is changed in accordance with the following guidelines.

               (i) The Participant may not increase his or her rate of payroll
         deduction during a purchase period.

               (ii) The Participant may, at any time during the purchase period,
         reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction to become effective as soon
         as possible after filing the appropriate form with the Plan
         Administrator. The Participant may not, however, effect more than one
         (1) such reduction per purchase period.

         D. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day following the
start date of the purchase period and shall (unless sooner terminated by the
Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior to
the last day of the purchase period. The amounts so collected shall be credited
to the Participant's book account under the Plan, initially in the currency in
which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary until converted into U.S. Dollars on the
applicable Monthly Exchange Date. Accordingly, all purchases of Common Stock
under the Plan are to be made with the U.S. Dollars into which the payroll
deductions for the purchase period have been converted on each applicable
Monthly Exchange Date within that purchase period. Except to the extent
otherwise provided by the Plan (including any addendum thereto) or by the Plan
Administrator, the amounts collected from the Participant shall not be held in
any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general
assets of the Corporation and used for general corporate purposes.

         E. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of
the Participant's purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

         F. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any
Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's acquisition of
Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date.

VII.     PURCHASE RIGHTS

         A. GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. A Participant shall be granted a separate
purchase right on the start date of each purchase period in which he or she
participates. The purchase right shall provide the Participant with the right to
purchase shares of Common Stock on the Purchase Date upon the terms set forth
below. The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such
terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan
Administrator may deem advisable.

            Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the
Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the
grant, own (directly or








                                       3
<PAGE>   4


indirectly within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding
options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more
of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the
Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate.

         B. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT. Each purchase right shall be
automatically exercised on the Purchase Date, and shares of Common Stock shall
accordingly be purchased on behalf of each Participant (other than any
Participant whose payroll deductions have previously been refunded in accordance
with the Termination of Purchase Right provisions below) on such date. The
purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant's payroll deductions (as
converted into U.S. Dollars) for the purchase period ending on such Purchase
Date to the purchase of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitation on the
maximum number of shares purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date)
at the purchase price in effect for that purchase period.

         C. PURCHASE PRICE. The U.S. Dollar purchase price per share at which
Common Stock will be purchased on the Participant's behalf on each Purchase Date
shall be equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the start date of the purchase period or (ii)
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date.

         D. NUMBER OF PURCHASABLE SHARES. The number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date shall be the number of shares
obtained by dividing the amount collected from the Participant through payroll
deductions (as converted into U.S. Dollars) during the purchase period ending
with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect for that Purchase Date.
However, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date shall not exceed 2,000 shares, subject to
periodic adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation's
capitalization.

         E. EXCESS PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Any payroll deductions not applied to the
purchase of Common Stock by reason of the limitation on the maximum number of
shares purchasable by the Participant on the Purchase Date shall be promptly
refunded in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary.

         F. TERMINATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. The following provisions shall govern
the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

               (i) A Participant may, at any time prior to the last day of the
         purchase period, terminate his or her outstanding purchase right by
         filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its
         designate), and no further payroll deductions shall be collected from
         the Participant with respect to the terminated purchase right. Any
         payroll deductions collected during the purchase period in which such
         termination occurs shall, at the Participant's election, be immediately
         refunded in the currency in which paid by the Foreign Subsidiary or
         held for the purchase of shares on the next Purchase Date. If no such
         election is made at the time such purchase right is terminated, then
         the payroll deductions collected with respect to the terminated right
         shall be refunded as soon as possible.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5


               (ii) The termination of such purchase right shall be irrevocable,
         and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin the purchase period for
         which the terminated purchase right was granted. In order to resume
         participation in any subsequent purchase period, such individual must
         re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed
         enrollment form(s)) on or before the start date of the new purchase
         period.

               (iii) Should the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee
         for any reason (including death, disability or change in status) while
         his or her purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right
         shall immediately terminate, and all of the Participant's payroll
         deductions for the purchase period in which the purchase right so
         terminates shall be immediately refunded in the currency in which paid
         by the Foreign Subsidiary. However, should the Participant cease to
         remain in active service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of
         absence, then the Participant shall have the right, exercisable up
         until the last business day of the purchase period in which such leave
         commences, to (a) withdraw the payroll deductions collected during such
         purchase period or (b) have such funds held for the purchase of shares
         at the next scheduled Purchase Date. In no event, however, shall any
         further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant's behalf
         during such leave. Upon the Participant's return to active service, his
         or her payroll deductions under the Plan shall automatically resume at
         the rate in effect at the time the leave began.

         G. TRANSFER OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event that a Participant who is an
Employee of a Foreign Subsidiary is transferred and becomes an Employee of the
Corporation during a purchase period under the Plan, such individual shall
continue to remain a Participant in the Plan and payroll deductions shall
continue to be collected until the next purchase date as if the Participant had
remained an Employee of the Foreign Subsidiary.

            In the event that an Employee of the Corporation who is a
participant in the U.S. Plan is transferred and becomes an Employee of a Foreign
Subsidiary during a purchase period in effect under the U.S. Plan, such
individual shall automatically become a Participant under the Plan for the
duration of the purchase period in effect at that time under the Plan and the
balance in such individual's book account maintained under the U.S. Plan shall
be transferred as a balance to a book account opened for such individual under
the Plan. Such balance, together with all other payroll deductions collected
from such individual by the Foreign Subsidiary for the remainder of the purchase
period under the Plan (as converted into U.S. Dollars), shall be applied on the
next purchase date to the purchase of Stock under the Plan.

         H. CORPORATE TRANSACTION. Each outstanding purchase right shall
automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any
Corporate Transaction, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant
for the purchase period in which such Corporate Transaction occurs, as converted
into U.S. Dollars on the applicable Monthly Exchange Dates and at the time of
the Corporate Transaction as set forth below, to the purchase of shares of
Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of
the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the start
date of the purchase period in which such Corporate Transaction occurs or (ii)
the Fair Market Value per share of Common








                                       5
<PAGE>   6


Stock immediately prior to the effective date of such Corporate Transaction.
However, the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase.
Payroll deductions not yet converted into U.S. Dollars at the time of the
Corporate Transaction shall be converted from the currency in which paid by the
Foreign Subsidiary into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rate in effect
at as determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Corporate
Transaction.

            The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least ten
(10)-days prior written notice of the occurrence of any Corporate Transaction,
and Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to
terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the
Corporate Transaction.

         I. PRORATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. Should the total number of shares of
Common Stock which are to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights
on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance
under the Plan and the U.S. Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata
allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and
the payroll deductions of each Participant (and each participant in the U.S.
Plan), to the extent in excess of the aggregate purchase price payable for the
Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall be refunded.

         J. ASSIGNABILITY. The purchase right shall be exercisable only by the
Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant.

         K. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no stockholder rights
with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase right
until the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of record of
the purchased shares.

VIII.    ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

         A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common
Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the
extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock
accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar
rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans of the Corporation or
any Corporate Affiliate, would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase
more than Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$25,000) worth of stock of the
Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair
Market Value of such stock on the date or dates such rights are granted) for
each calendar year such rights are at any time outstanding.

         B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations, the following
provisions shall be in effect:

               (i) The right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding
         purchase right shall accrue on the Purchase Date in effect for the
         purchase period for which such right is granted.




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

               (ii) No right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding
         purchase right shall accrue to the extent the Participant has already
         accrued in the same calendar year the right to acquire Common Stock
         under one (1) or more other purchase rights at a rate equal to
         Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$25,000) worth of Common Stock
         (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date
         or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time
         outstanding.

         C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a
Participant does not accrue for a particular purchase period, then the payroll
deductions which the Participant made during that purchase period with respect
to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded in the currency in which paid
by the Foreign Subsidiary.

         D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this
Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued
thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

IX.      EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

         A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on November 20, 1996 and shall
become effective on the Effective Date, provided no purchase rights granted
under the Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued
hereunder, until the Corporation shall have complied with all applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing requirements of
any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the
Common Stock is listed for trading and all other applicable requirements
established by law or regulation. In the event such compliance is not effected
within twelve (12) months after the date on which the Plan is adopted by the
Board, the Plan shall terminate and have no further force or effect and all sums
collected from Participants during the initial purchase period hereunder shall
be refunded.

         B. The Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 1999 to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan by 1,500,000 shares to
2,500,000 shares. Such 1,500,000 shares increase was approved by the
shareholders at the 1999 Annual Meeting.

         C. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon
the earliest of (i) the last business day in April 2006, (ii) the date on which
all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been sold pursuant
to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which all
purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Corporate Transaction. No
further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no further payroll
deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such termination.

X.       AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

            The Board may alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any
time to become effective immediately following the close of any purchase period.

or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                      1995 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN
                (As Amended and Restated through April 11, 1999)

                                  ARTICLE ONE

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

    I.   PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         This 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the
interests of i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing
eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an
incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.

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

    II.  STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

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

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

                  (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons
may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common
Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a
bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), and

                  (iii) the Automatic Option Grant Program under which Eligible
Directors shall automatically receive option grants at periodic intervals to
purchase shares of Common Stock.

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

    III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         A. The Board or the Primary Committee shall have the authority to
administer the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs with
respect to Section 16 Insiders. Administration of the Discretionary Option Grant
and Stock Issuance Programs with respect to all other persons eligible to
participate in those programs may, at the Board's discretion, be vested in the
Primary Committee or a Secondary Committee, or the Board may retain the power to
administer those programs with respect to all such persons.


<PAGE>   2

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

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

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

         E. Administration of the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be
self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and the Plan
Administrator shall exercise no discretionary functions with respect to option
grants made thereunder.

   IV.   ELIGIBILITY

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

                  (i) Employees,

                  (ii) non-employee members of the Board (or the board of
directors of any Parent or Subsidiary), and

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

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


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant,
the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the
consideration to be paid for such shares.

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

         D. The individuals eligible to participate in the Automatic Option
Grant Program shall be (i) those individuals who are serving as non-employee
Board members on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date or who are
first elected or appointed as non-employee Board members after such date,
whether through appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation's
stockholders, and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee
Board members after one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings held after the
Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date.

    V.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the
Corporation on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 43,000,000(1)
shares. Such authorized share reserve is comprised of (i) the number of shares
which remained available for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the
Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation's stockholders prior to
such date, including the shares subject to the outstanding options incorporated
into the Plan and any other shares which would have been available for future
option grants under the Predecessor Plan, (ii) an increase of 1,603,152 shares
authorized by the Board and approved by the stockholders prior to the Plan
Effective Date, (iii) an increase of 4,000,000 shares authorized by the Board
and approved by the stockholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting, (iv) an increase of
7,000,000 shares approved by the Board on July 1, 1997, approved by the
stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting plus (v) an additional increase of
12,000,000 shares approved by the Board as of April 11, 1999, subject to
stockholder approval at the 1999 Annual Meeting.

         B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive options,
separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for
more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year,
beginning with the 1996 calendar year.

         C. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options
(including any options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan) expire or
terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are
cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two.
Unvested shares issued under the Plan (including unvested shares issued under
the Predecessor Plan) and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the
original exercise or issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's
repurchase rights under the Plan, shall be added back to the number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be
available for reissuance through one or more subsequent options or direct

- --------------
         (1) All share numbers have been adjusted to reflect the 2 for 1 stock
split effected on June 2, 1998.



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

stock issuances under the Plan. Shares subject to any stock appreciation rights
exercised under the Plan shall reduce on a share-for-share basis the number of
shares of Common Stock available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. In
addition, should the exercise price of an option under the Plan (including any
option incorporated from the Predecessor Plan) be paid with shares of Common
Stock or should shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be
withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in
connection with the exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance
under the Plan, then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance
under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the
option is exercised or which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net
number of shares of Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock
issuance.

         D. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without
the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be
made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the
Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be
granted options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct
stock issuances per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of securities
for which automatic option grants are to be subsequently made per Eligible
Director under the Automatic Option Grant Program and (iv) the number and/or
class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each
outstanding option (including any option incorporated from the Predecessor Plan)
in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The
adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and
conclusive.

applicable to such options.

         A. Exercise Price.

              1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan

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

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

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

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

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


                                       5

         C. Effect of Termination of Service.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

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

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

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

         F. Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the
Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be
assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution following the Optionee's death. Non-Statutory Options may, to the
extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, be assigned in whole or in part
during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's
immediate family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such
family members. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same
as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall
be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator
may deem appropriate.

    II.  INCENTIVE OPTIONS

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

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

         B. Exercise Price. The exercise price per share shall not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the option grant date.

         C. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which
one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option
plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time
become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall
not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the
Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

         D. 10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is
granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five
(5) years measured from the option grant date.

    III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

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

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

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

         D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had
the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of
securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of
such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under
each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
securities shall remain the same.

         E. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the Corporate
Transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall automatically
accelerate (and any of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights which do
not otherwise terminate at the time of the Corporate Transaction shall
automatically terminate and the shares of Common Stock subject to



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full) in the event the
Optionee's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary
Termination within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of such
Corporate Transaction. Any options so accelerated shall remain exercisable for
fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term
or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective
date of the Involuntary Termination.

         F. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to (i) provide for the automatic acceleration of one or more
outstanding options (and the automatic termination of one or more outstanding
repurchase rights with the immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock
subject to those rights) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or (ii)
condition any such option acceleration (and the termination of any outstanding
repurchase rights) upon the subsequent Involuntary Termination of the Optionee's
Service within a specified period following the effective date of such Change in
Control. Any options accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall
remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the
option term.

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

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

    IV.  CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

         The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time
and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the
cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program (including outstanding options incorporated from the Predecessor
Plan) and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or different
number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

    V.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

         A. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to grant
to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights and/or limited stock
appreciation rights.

         B. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of tandem
stock appreciation rights:

                  (i) One or more Optionees may be granted the right,
exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect
between the


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

exercise of the underlying option for shares of Common Stock and the surrender
of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount
equal to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date)
of the number of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the
surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (B) the aggregate
exercise price payable for such shares.

                  (ii) No such option surrender shall be effective unless it is
approved by the Plan Administrator. If the surrender is so approved, then the
distribution to which the Optionee shall be entitled may be made in shares of
Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, in cash,
or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Plan Administrator shall in its
sole discretion deem appropriate.

                  (iii) If the surrender of an option is rejected by the Plan
Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain whatever rights the Optionee had
under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the option
surrender date and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the later of
(A) five (5) business days after the receipt of the rejection notice or (B) the
last day on which the option is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the
terms of the documents evidencing such option, but in no event may such rights
be exercised more than ten (10) years after the option grant date.

         C. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of limited
stock appreciation rights:

                  (i) One or more Section 16 Insiders may be granted limited
stock appreciation rights with respect to their outstanding options.

                  (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, each such
individual holding one or more options with such a limited stock appreciation
right shall have the unconditional right (exercisable for a thirty (30)-day
period following such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender each such option to the
Corporation, to the extent the option is at the time exercisable for vested
shares of Common Stock. In return for the surrendered option, the Optionee shall
receive a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
excess of (A) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock which are at the
time vested under each surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over
(B) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution
shall be paid within five (5) days following the option surrender date.

                  (iii) Neither the approval of the Plan Administrator nor the
consent of the Board shall be required in connection with such option surrender
and cash distribution.

                  (iv) The balance of the option (if any) shall continue in full
force and effect in accordance with the documents evidencing such option.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

    I.   STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

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

         A. Purchase Price

              1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator, but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the stock issuance date.

              2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Five, shares
of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for one or both
of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate in each individual instance:

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

                  (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent
or Subsidiary).

         B. Vesting Provisions

              1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program
may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately
vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the
Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested
shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, namely:

                  (i) the Service period to be completed by the Participant or
the performance objectives to be attained,

                  (ii) the number of installments in which the shares are to
vest,

                  (iii) the interval or intervals (if any) which are to lapse
between installments, and

                  (iv) the effect which death, Permanent Disability or other
event designated by the Plan Administrator is to have upon the vesting schedule,


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock
Issuance Agreement.

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

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

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

              5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the
surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or
other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the
cessation of the Participant's Service or the non-completion of the vesting
schedule applicable to such shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate
vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which
the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or
after the Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment
of the applicable performance objectives.

    II.  CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

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



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

         B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the unvested shares are issued or at any time while the
Corporation's repurchase right remains outstanding, to provide for the automatic
termination of one or more outstanding repurchase rights, and the immediate
vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those rights, upon the
occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those repurchase rights
are assigned in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

         C. Any repurchase rights that are assigned in the Corporate Transaction
shall automatically terminate, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to
those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event the
Optionee's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary
Termination within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of such
Corporate Transaction.

         D. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the unvested shares are issued or at any time while the
Corporation's repurchase right remains outstanding, to (i) provide for the
automatic termination of one or more outstanding repurchase rights and the
immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those rights upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control or (ii) condition any such accelerated vesting
upon the subsequent Involuntary Termination of the Participant's Service within
a specified period following the effective date of such Change in Control.

    III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

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

                         AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

    I.   OPTION TERMS

         A. GRANT DATES. Option grants shall be made on the dates specified
below:

              1. Each Eligible Director who is a non-employee Board member on
the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date and each Eligible Director who
is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member after such date
shall automatically be granted, on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective
Date or on the date of such initial election or appointment (as the case may
be), a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 2,000 shares of Common Stock.

              2. On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting, beginning with
the first Annual Meeting held after the Section 12(g) Registration Date, each
individual who is to continue to serve as an Eligible Director after such
meeting, shall automatically be granted, whether or not such individual is
standing for re-election as a Board member at that Annual Meeting, a
Non-Statutory Option to purchase an additional 2,000 shares of Common Stock,
provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least
six (6) months prior to the date of such Annual Meeting. There shall be no limit
on the number of such annual 2,000-share option grants any one Eligible Director
may receive over his or her period of Board service.

         B. EXERCISE PRICE.

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

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

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

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



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

         E. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE. The following provisions
shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time the
Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member:

                  (i) The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee's death, the
personal representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or persons to
whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance
with the laws of descent and distribution) shall have a twelve (12)-month period
following the date of such cessation of Board service in which to exercise each
such option.

                  (ii) During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the option
may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares
of Common Stock for which the option is exercisable at the time of the
Optionee's cessation of Board service.

                  (iii) Should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board member by
reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the time subject to
the option shall immediately vest so that such option may, during the twelve
(12)-month exercise period following such cessation of Board service, be
exercised for all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares of Common
Stock.

                  (iv) In no event shall the option remain exercisable after the
expiration of the option term. Upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month
exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for
which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately
upon the Optionee's cessation of Board service, terminate and cease to be
outstanding to the extent it is not exercisable for vested shares on the date of
such cessation of Board service.

    II.  CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

         A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the shares of Common
Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise vested
shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately
prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully
exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such
option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as
fully-vested shares of Common Stock. Immediately following the consummation of
the Corporate Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and cease
to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof).

         B. In connection with any Change in Control, the shares of Common Stock
at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise vested shall
automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to
the effective date of the Change in Control, become fully exercisable for all of
the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may be
exercised for all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares of Common
Stock. Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully-vested option
shares


                                       15
<PAGE>   16

until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term or the surrender
of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over.

         C. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall have
a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of his or
her outstanding automatic options. The Optionee shall in return be entitled to a
cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i)
the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to the
surrendered option (whether or not the Optionee is otherwise at the time vested
in those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares.
Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days following the
surrender of the option to the Corporation. No approval or consent of the Board
shall be required in connection with such option surrender and cash
distribution.

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

    III. REMAINING TERMS

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

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

    I.   FINANCING

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

         B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, determine that one or
more such promissory notes shall be subject to forgiveness by the Corporation in
whole or in part upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.

    II.  TAX WITHHOLDING

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

         B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or all
holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock under the
Plan (other than the options granted or the shares issued under the Automatic
Option Grant Program) with the right to use shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of all or part of the Taxes incurred by such holders in connection
with the exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right
may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:

                  (i) Stock Withholding: The election to have the Corporation
withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise
of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such shares, a portion of those
shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the Taxes
(not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

                  (ii) Stock Delivery: The election to deliver to the
Corporation, at the time the Non-Statutory Option is exercised or the shares
vest, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder
(other than in connection with the option exercise or share vesting triggering
the Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the
Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent (100%)) designated by the holder.

    III. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

         A. The Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs became
effective on the Plan Effective Date. The Automatic Option Grant Program became
effective on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date, and the initial
options under the Automatic Option Grant Program were made to the Eligible
Directors at that time. The Plan was approved by the Corporation's stockholders
in September 1995.

         On May 11, 1996, the Board adopted an amendment (the "1996 Amendment")
which (i) imposed a maximum limit, for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code,
on the number of shares for which any one person may be granted options,
separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances per
calendar year under the Plan and (ii) increased the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable under the Plan by an additional 4,000,000 shares. The 1996
Amendment became effective immediately upon adoption by the Board and was
approved by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting.

         On July 1, 1997, the board amended the Plan to increase the number of
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan by 7,000,000 shares
(the "1997 Amendment"). The 1997 Amendment was approved by the Stockholders at
the 1998 Annual Stockholders Meeting.

         The Plan was amended and restated on April 13, 1998 (the "1998
Amendment") to effect the following changes: (i) render the non-employee Board
members who serve as the Plan Administrator eligible to receive option grants
and direct stock issuances under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock
Issuance Programs, (ii) eliminate certain restrictions on the eligibility of
non-employee Board members to serve as Plan Administrator, (iii) allow shares
issued under the Plan and subsequently reacquired by the Corporation to be added
back to the share reserve available for future issuance under the Plan and (iv)
effect a series of technical changes to the provisions of the Plan (including
the stockholder approval requirements) in order to take advantage of the
amendments to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission which exempt
certain officer and director transactions under the Plan from the short-swing
liability provisions of the Federal securities laws. The 1998 Amendment was
approved by the stockholders at the 1998 annual meeting.

         The Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 1999 (i) to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan by 12,000,000 shares,
subject to stockholder approval at the 1999 Annual Meeting and (ii) to give the
Plan Administrator the discretion to provide a holder of a Non-Statutory Option
or unvested shares of Common Stock the right to use shares of Common Stock only
with respect to the withholding tax requirements applicable in connection with
the exercise of such option or the vesting of such shares. If such stockholder
approval is not obtained at the 1999 Annual Meeting, then any options previously
granted on the basis of the 12,000,000-share increase shall terminate, and no
further options based on such increase shall be granted. Those options granted
under the Plan which are not based on such increase shall remain outstanding in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective agreements evidencing
such options, whether or not the requisite stockholder approval of the share
increase is obtained. Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Plan
Administrator may grant options under the Plan at any time before the date fixed
herein for termination of the Plan.



                                       18
<PAGE>   19

         B. The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan, and
no further option grants shall be made under the Predecessor Plan after the Plan
Effective Date. All options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan as of such
date shall, immediately upon approval of the Plan by the Corporation's
stockholders, be incorporated into the Plan and treated as outstanding options
under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue
to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and
no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the
rights or obligations of the holders of such incorporated options with respect
to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock.

         C. One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without limitation)
the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating to Corporate
Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan Administrator's
discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from the Predecessor
Plan which do not otherwise contain such provisions.

         D. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) September 20,
2005, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise of the options or the issuance
of shares (whether vested or unvested) under the Plan or (iii) the termination
of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Upon such
Plan termination, all options and unvested stock issuances outstanding on such
date shall thereafter continue to have force and effect in accordance with the
provisions of the documents evidencing such options or issuances.

    IV.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

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

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

    V.   USE OF PROCEEDS

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

    VI.  REGULATORY APPROVALS

         The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any option or stock
appreciation right under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
(i) upon the exercise of any option or stock appreciation right or (ii) under
the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation's procurement of
all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
over the Plan, the options and stock appreciation rights granted under it and
the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. No shares of Common Stock or
other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there
shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of Federal and state
securities laws and any applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange
(or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which Common Stock is then
listed for trading.

    VII. NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

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

status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory
Option, the time or times at which each option is to become exercisable, the
vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term
for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock
issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to
receive stock issuances, the time or times when such issuances are to be made,
the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if
any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid for such
shares.

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

    V.   STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed One Million
(1,000,000) shares.

         B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options
expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options
are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article
Two. All shares issued under the Plan, whether or not those shares are
subsequently repurchased or cancelled by the Corporation pursuant to its
repurchase or cancellation rights under the Plan, shall reduce on a
share-for-share basis the number of shares of Common Stock available for
subsequent issuance under the Plan.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of
shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without
the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be
made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the
Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per
share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution
or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan
Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such
adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding
shares of the Corporation's preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

                                  ARTICLE TWO

                              OPTION GRANT PROGRAM


    I.   OPTION TERMS

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

         A. EXERCISE PRICE.

              1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator and may be less than, equal to or greater than the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

              2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise
of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four
and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made
payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section
12(g) of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise
price may also be paid as follows:

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

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


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

    reason of such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates
    for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to
    complete the sale.

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

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

         C. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

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

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

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

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

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

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


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

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

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

                  (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable
    post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested
    shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of
    the Optionee's cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more
    additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the
    option had the Optionee continued in Service.

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

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

         F. FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS. Until such time as the Common Stock is first
registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the
right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee
(or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the
Option Grant Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in
accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in
the document evidencing such right.

         G. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the
Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be
assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution following the Optionee's death. However, a Non-Statutory Option may
be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime in accordance
with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The assigned portion may
only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in
the option pursuant to such Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the
option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such
documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.


                                       5
<PAGE>   6

    II.  INCENTIVE OPTIONS

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

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

         B. EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share shall not be less than
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the option grant date.

         C. DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of
Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which
one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option
plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time
become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall
not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the
Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the
first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

         D. 10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is
granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the option grant date and the option term shall not exceed five
(5) years measured from the option grant date.

    III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION

         A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, then the Board of
Directors shall have the discretion to provide that each outstanding option
shall either (i) be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof),
(ii) be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital
stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (iii) be replaced with a
cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread
existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction
and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule
applicable to such option, (iv) terminate each outstanding option which is not
exercised prior to the completion of the Corporate Transaction or (v) accelerate
the exercisability of such option. The determination of option comparability
under clause (ii) above shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and its
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

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


                                       6
<PAGE>   7

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

         D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had
the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of
securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of
such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under
each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
securities shall remain the same.

         E. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the Corporate
Transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall automatically
accelerate (and any of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights which do
not otherwise terminate at the time of the Corporate Transaction shall
automatically terminate and the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest in full) in the event the Optionee's
Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination
within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of such Corporate
Transaction. Any options so accelerated shall remain exercisable for
fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term
or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective
date of the Involuntary Termination.

         F. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to provide for the automatic acceleration of one or more
outstanding options (and the automatic termination of one or more outstanding
repurchase rights with the immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock
subject to those rights) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether
or not those options are to be assumed or replaced (or those repurchase rights
are to be assigned) in the Corporate Transaction. The Plan Administrator shall
also have the discretion to grant options which do not accelerate (and to
provide for repurchase rights which do not terminate) upon a Corporate
Transaction or an Involuntary Termination following a Corporate Transaction.

         G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a
Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an
Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar
($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is
exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a
Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.

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

    IV.  CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

         The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time
and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the
cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Option Grant Program
and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or different number
of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new grant date.

                                 ARTICLE THREE

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM


    I.   STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

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

         A. PURCHASE PRICE.

              1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator and may be less than, equal to or greater than the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the stock issuance date.

              2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares
of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for one or both
of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate in each individual instance:

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

                  (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent
    or Subsidiary).

         B. VESTING PROVISIONS.

              1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program
may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately
vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the
Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested
shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, namely:

                  (i) the Service period to be completed by the Participant or
    the performance objectives to be attained,


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

                  (ii) the number of installments in which the shares are to
    vest,

                  (iii) the interval or intervals (if any) which are to lapse
    between installments, and

                  (iv) the effect which death, Permanent Disability or other
    event designated by the Plan Administrator is to have upon the vesting
    schedule,

shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock
Issuance Agreement.

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

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

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

              5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the
surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or
other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the
cessation of the Participant's Service or the non-attainment of the performance
objectives applicable to such shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate
vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which
the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or
after the Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment
of the applicable performance objectives.



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

         C. FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS. Until such time as the Common Stock is first
registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the
right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the
Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued
under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be
exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator
and set forth in the document evidencing such right.

    II.  CORPORATE TRANSACTION

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

         B. Any cancellation rights that are assigned in the Corporate
Transaction shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock
subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event
the Participant's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an
Involuntary Termination within eighteen (18) months following the effective date
of such Corporate Transaction.

         C. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either
at the time the unvested shares are issued or at any time while the
Corporation's cancellation right remains outstanding, to provide for the
automatic termination of one or more outstanding cancellation rights, and the
immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those rights, upon
the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those cancellation
rights are assigned in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

    III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

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

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

    I.   FINANCING

         A. The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay
the option exercise price or the purchase price for shares issued under the Plan
by delivering a promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms
of any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of
repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion. Promissory notes may be authorized with or without security or
collateral. In all events, the maximum credit available to the Optionee or
Participant may not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or
purchase price payable for



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

the purchased shares plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and
employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in
connection with the option exercise or share purchase.

         B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, determine that one or
more such promissory notes shall be subject to forgiveness by the Corporation in
whole or in part upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.

    II.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

         A. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no
option granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued
under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation's stockholders. If
such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the
date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted
under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further
options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject
to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options and issue shares
under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan and before the
date fixed herein for termination of the Plan.

         B. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of
the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan
shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise of options or the issuance of
shares (whether vested or unvested) under the Plan or (iii) the termination of
all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. Upon such
Plan termination, all options and unvested stock issuances outstanding under the
Plan shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the
provisions of the documents evidencing such options or issuances.

    III. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

         A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to
amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or
modification shall adversely affect any rights and obligations with respect to
options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan,
unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or
modification. In addition, the Board shall not, without the approval of the
Corporation's stockholders, (i) increase the maximum number of shares issuable
under the Plan, except for permissible adjustments in the event of certain
changes in the Corporation's capitalization, (ii) materially modify the
eligibility requirements for Plan participation or (iii) materially increase the
benefits accruing to Plan participants.

         B. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted under the
Plan and shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Plan that are in each
instance in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the
Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under the Plan are held in
escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently
increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months
after the date the first such excess grants or issuances are made, then (i) any



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

unexercised options granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to
the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any
excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest
(at the applicable Short-Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held
in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease
to be outstanding.

    IV.  USE OF PROCEEDS

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

    V.   WITHHOLDING

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

    VI.  REGULATORY APPROVALS

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

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                        STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
                   SMART 1996 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN



OPTIONEE:  ((Employee))

         STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT effective as of the 15th day of July,
1999 by i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("i2").

         WHEREAS, the undersigned individual ("Optionee") holds one or more
outstanding options to purchase shares of the common stock of Sales Marketing
Administration Research Tracking Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("SMART"), which were granted to Optionee under the SMART 1996 Stock
Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plan") and are each evidenced by a Stock Option
Agreement (the "Option Agreement").

         WHEREAS, SMART has been acquired by i2 through the merger of SMART with
and into i2 (the "Merger") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization, by and between i2 and SMART (the "Reorganization Agreement").

         WHEREAS, the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement require i2 to
assume all obligations of SMART under all outstanding options under the Plan at
the consummation of the Merger and to issue to the holder of each outstanding
option an agreement evidencing the assumption of such option.

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Reorganization Agreement,
the exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in effect for the Merger is 0.75081
of a share of i2 common stock ("i2 Stock") for each outstanding share of SMART
common stock ("SMART Stock").

         WHEREAS, this Agreement became effective immediately upon the
consummation of the Merger (the "Effective Time") in order to reflect certain
adjustments to Optionee's outstanding options which have become necessary by
reason of the assumption of those options by i2 in connection with the Merger.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

         1. The number of shares of SMART Stock subject to the options held by
Optionee immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "SMART Options") and the
exercise price payable per share are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. i2 hereby
assumes, as of the Effective Time, all the duties and obligations of SMART under
each of the SMART Options. In connection with such assumption, the number of
shares of i2 Stock purchasable under each SMART Option hereby assumed and the
exercise price payable thereunder have been adjusted to reflect the Exchange
Ratio. Accordingly, the number of shares of i2 Stock subject to each SMART
Option hereby assumed shall be as specified for that option in attached Exhibit
A, and the adjusted



<PAGE>   2

exercise price payable per share of i2 Stock under the assumed SMART Option
shall also be as indicated for that option in attached Exhibit A.

         2. The intent of the foregoing adjustments to each assumed SMART Option
is to assure that the spread between the aggregate fair market value of the
shares of i2 Stock purchasable under each such option and the aggregate exercise
price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement will, immediately after the
consummation of the Merger, be not less than the spread which existed,
immediately prior to the Merger, between the then aggregate fair market value of
the SMART Stock subject to the SMART Option and the aggregate exercise price in
effect at such time under the Option Agreement. Such adjustments are also
intended to preserve, immediately after the Merger, on a per share basis, the
same ratio of exercise price per option share to fair market value per share
which existed under the SMART Option immediately prior to the Merger.

         3. The following provisions shall govern each SMART Option hereby
assumed by i2:

                  (a) Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in
         each Option Agreement and, if applicable, in the Plan (as incorporated
         into such Option Agreement) (i) to the "Corporation" shall mean i2,
         (ii) to "Common Stock" shall mean shares of i2 Stock, (iii) to the
         "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of i2 and (iv) to the
         "Committee" shall mean the Compensation Committee of the i2 Board of
         Directors.

                  (b) The grant date and the expiration date of each assumed
         SMART Option and all other provisions which govern either the exercise
         or the termination of the assumed SMART Option shall remain the same as
         set forth in the Option Agreement applicable to that option, and the
         provisions of the Option Agreement shall accordingly govern and control
         Optionee's rights under this Agreement to purchase i2 Stock.

                  (c) Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, your
         options assumed by i2 in connection with the transaction will NOT vest
         or become exercisable on an accelerated basis as a result of the
         Merger. Each SMART Option shall be assumed by i2 as of the Effective
         Time. Each such assumed SMART Option shall thereafter continue to vest
         for any remaining unvested shares of i2 Stock subject to that option in
         accordance with the same installment vesting schedule in effect under
         the applicable Option Agreement immediately prior to the Effective
         Time; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to each such
         installment shall be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

                  (d) For purposes of applying any and all provisions of the
         Option Agreement and/or the Plan relating to Optionee's status as an
         employee or a consultant of SMART, Optionee shall be deemed to continue
         in such status as an employee or a consultant for so long as Optionee
         renders services as an employee or a consultant to i2 or any present or
         future i2 subsidiary.


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         Accordingly, the provisions of the Option Agreement governing the
         termination of the assumed SMART Options upon Optionee's cessation of
         service as an employee or a consultant of SMART shall hereafter be
         applied on the basis of Optionee's cessation of employee or consultant
         status with i2 and its subsidiaries, and each assumed SMART Option
         shall accordingly terminate, within the designated time period in
         effect under the Option Agreement for that option, following such
         cessation of service as an employee or a consultant of i2 and its
         subsidiaries.

                  (e) The adjusted exercise price payable for the i2 Stock
         subject to each assumed SMART Option shall be payable in any of the
         forms authorized under the Option Agreement applicable to that option.
         For purposes of determining the holding period of any shares of i2
         Stock delivered in payment of such adjusted exercise price, the period
         for which such shares were held as SMART Stock prior to the Merger
         shall be taken into account.

                  (f) In order to exercise each assumed SMART Option, Optionee
         must deliver to i2 a written notice of exercise in which the number of
         shares of i2 Stock to be purchased thereunder must be indicated. The
         exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the adjusted exercise
         price payable for the purchased shares of i2 Stock and should be
         delivered to i2 at the following address:

                         i2 Technologies, Inc.
                         909 E. Las Colinas Blvd., 16th Floor

                         Attention:  Option Plan Administrator

         4. Except to the extent specifically modified by this Option Assumption
Agreement, all of the terms and conditions of each Option Agreement as in effect
immediately prior to the Merger shall continue in full force and effect and
shall not in any way be amended, revised or otherwise affected by this Stock
Option Assumption Agreement.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


                                    RECITALS


         A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the
services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board
of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent
advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

         B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the
Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee.

         C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

         NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

         1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of
the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares
specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time
to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

         2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5, 6 or 17.

         3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither transferable
nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised, during Optionee's
lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is designated a
Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may also be assigned
in whole or in part during Optionee's lifetime in accordance with the terms of a
Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable
only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option
pursuant to such Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The terms applicable to the
assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option
immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents
issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.


<PAGE>   2


         4. EXERCISABILITY/VESTING.

              (a) This option shall be immediately exercisable for any or all of
the Option Shares, whether or not the Option Shares are vested in accordance
with the Vesting Schedule, and shall remain so exercisable until the Expiration
Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5, 6 or 17. Any
unvested Option Shares purchased under this option shall be subject to
repurchase by the Corporation, at the Exercise Price paid per share, upon
Optionee's cessation of Service prior to vesting in those Option Shares.

              (b) Optionee shall, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, vest
in the Option Shares in one or more installments over his or her period of
Service. Vesting in the Option Shares may be accelerated pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 6. In no event, however, shall any additional Option
Shares vest following Optionee's cessation of Service.

         5. CESSATION OF SERVICE. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall
terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

                  (i) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason
    (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while this option is
    outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months
    (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
    exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at
    any time after the Expiration Date.

                  (ii) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding,
    then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or
    persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in
    accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to
    exercise this option. Such right shall lapse and this option shall cease to
    be outstanding upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of the twelve (12)-
    month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (B) the
    Expiration Date.

                  (iii) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent
    Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a
    period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of
    Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option
    be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

                  (iv) Should Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct,
    then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain
    outstanding.

                  (v) During the limited post-Service exercise period, this
    option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of
    Option Shares in which Optionee is, at the time of Optionee's cessation of
    Service, vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. Upon the expiration
    of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date,
    this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

    for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. To
    the extent Optionee is not vested in the Option Shares at the time of
    Optionee's cessation of Service, this option shall immediately terminate and
    cease to be outstanding with respect to those shares.

                  (vi) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the provisions
    of Paragraph 6 shall govern the period for which this option is to remain
    exercisable following Optionee's cessation of Service and shall supersede
    any provisions to the contrary in this paragraph.

         6. SPECIAL TERMINATION OF OPTION.

              (a) All the Option Shares subject to this option at the time of a
Corporate Transaction but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest and the
Corporation's repurchase rights with respect to those Option Shares shall
immediately terminate so that this option shall, immediately prior to the
effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the
Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised for
any or all of those Option Shares. No such accelerated vesting of the Option
Shares, however, shall occur if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in
connection with the Corporate Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable option to
purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent
thereof), and the Corporation's repurchase rights with respect to the unvested
Option Shares are to be assigned to such successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of
the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested
Option Shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction (the excess of the Fair
Market Value of those Option Shares over the Exercise Price payable for such
shares) and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the Vesting
Schedule.

              (b) Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this option
shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate
Transaction.

              (c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after
such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which
would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate
Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise
Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

              (d) Should there occur an Involuntary Termination of Optionee's
Service within eighteen (18) months following a Corporate Transaction in which
this option is assumed or replaced and the Corporation's repurchase rights with
respect to the unvested Option Shares are assigned, all the Option Shares at the
time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest
and the Corporation's repurchase rights with respect to those Option Shares
shall terminate so that this option shall immediately become exercisable for all


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

those Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock and may be exercised
for any or all of those vested Option Shares at any time prior to the earlier of
(i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the expiration of the one (l)-year period
measured from the date of such Involuntary Termination.

              (e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the
Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

         7. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

         8. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have any
stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

         9. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

              (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any
part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable,
Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the
following actions:

                  (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase
    Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

                  (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares
    in one or more of the following forms:

                      (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or

                      (B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but only
to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Paragraph
14.

                      (C) Should the Common Stock be registered under Section
12(g) of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the Exercise
Price may also be paid as follows:

                      (D) in shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any
other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period
necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial
reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or


                                       4
<PAGE>   5

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

         Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in
connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must
accompany the Purchase Agreement delivered to the Corporation in connection with
the option exercise.

                  (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
    that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee)
    have the right to exercise this option.

                  (iv) Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written
    representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it to
    comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and state securities
    laws.

                  (v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or
    Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction
    of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
    requirements applicable to the option exercise.

              (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation
shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the
appropriate legends affixed thereto. To the extent any such Option Shares are
unvested, the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed with an
appropriate legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and may be
held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest.

              (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional
shares.

         10. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. ALL OPTION SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF
THIS OPTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION AND ITS
ASSIGNS TO REPURCHASE THOSE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SPECIFIED IN THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

         11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

              (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option
Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and
Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all
applicable regulations of any stock



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common
Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

              (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any
regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall
relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or
sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained.
The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such
approvals.

         12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and
Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees
of Optionee's estate.

         13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

         14. FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion
and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the Exercise Price
for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a promissory note. The terms of
any such promissory note (including the interest rate, the requirements for
collateral and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan
Administrator in its sole discretion.

         15. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are
made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

         16. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of
this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without
resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

         17. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

              (a) The grant of this option is subject to approval of the Plan by
the Corporation's stockholders within twelve (12) months after the adoption of
the Plan by the Board. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, this option may not be exercised in whole or in part until such
stockholder approval is obtained. In the event that such stockholder approval is
not obtained, then this option shall terminate in its entirety and Optionee
shall have no further rights to acquire any Option Shares hereunder.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

              (b) If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of
the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without
stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void
with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the
Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

         18. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO AN INCENTIVE OPTION. In the event
this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following
terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

                  (i) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax
    treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is
    exercised for one or more Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months
    after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than
    death or Permanent Disability or (B) more than twelve (12) months after the
    date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

                  (ii) This option shall not become exercisable in the calendar
    year in which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value
    (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option
    would otherwise first become exercisable in such calendar year would, when
    added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates
    of grant) of the Common Stock and any other securities for which one or more
    other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether
    under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or
    Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed
    One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the
    exercisability of this option is deferred by reason of the foregoing
    limitation, the deferred portion shall become exercisable in the first
    calendar year or years thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar
    ($100,000) limitation of this Paragraph 18(ii) would not be contravened, but
    such deferral shall in all events end immediately prior to the effective
    date of a Corporate Transaction in which this option is not to be assumed or
    the Optionee's Involuntary Termination in connection with a Corporate
    Transaction, whereupon the option shall become immediately exercisable as a
    Non-Statutory Option for the deferred portion of the Option Shares.

                  (iii) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or
    more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the
    first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing
    limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall
    be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.
