                      (e)   to amend, modify, extend, or renew, or grant a new
Option in substitution for, any Option or to waive any restrictions or
conditions applicable to any Option or any shares acquired upon the exercise

                      (f)   to accelerate, continue, extend or defer the

                      (g)   to prescribe, amend or rescind rules, guidelines and

                      (h)   to correct any defect, supply any omission or

other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any
Option as the Board may deem advisable to the extent consistent with the Plan
and applicable law.

         4.       Shares Subject to Plan.
                  ----------------------

                  4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. The maximum aggregate
number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be equal to
the number of shares specified in Section 3(a) of the Company's 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "1999 Plan") from time to time, less the number of shares
issued or subject to awards outstanding under the 1999 Plan from time to time.
If an outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or
shares of Stock acquired, subject to repurchase, upon the exercise of an Option
are repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised
portion of such Option, or such repurchased shares of Stock, shall again be
available for issuance under the Plan or 1999 Plan.

                  4.2 Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. In the event
of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares
subject to any outstanding Options, and in the exercise price per share

                                       4
<PAGE>

of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the same
class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged for,
converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership
Change Event, as defined in Section 8.1) shares of another corporation (the "New
Shares"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide
that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such
amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per share of,
the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as
determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2
shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, as determined by the
Board, and in no event may the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an
amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. The
adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

         5. Eligibility and Option Limitations. Options may be granted only to
            ----------------------------------
Employees, Consultants and Directors; provided, however, that, if the Company
has not obtained stockholder approval of the Plan, no Option shall be granted
any person whose eligibility to receive an Option under the Plan at the time of
grant would require the approval of the Company's stockholders pursuant to any
applicable law, regulation or rule, including, without limitation, the rules
applicable to the listing of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq National
Market System. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "Employees" shall include
prospective Employees to whom Options are granted in connection with written
offers of employment with the Participating Company Group, and "Consultants"
shall include prospective Consultants to whom Options are granted in connection
with written offers of engagement with the Participating Company Group. Eligible
persons may be granted more than one (1) Option.

         6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options shall be evidenced by
            -------------------------------
Option Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in
such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. Option Agreements may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            6.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be
established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that the
exercise price per share for an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market
Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price
lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted
pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner
qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

            6.2 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable at such time or
times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions,
performance criteria, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and
set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however,
that no Option granted to a prospective Employee or prospective Consultant may
become exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences service with
a Participating Company.

                                       5
<PAGE>

                  6.3 Exercise Following Termination. Notwithstanding Section
6.2, an Option may only be exercised following the termination of the Optionee's
service with the Participating Company Group as an Employee, Consultant or
Director only to the extent set forth in the Option Agreement relating to such
Option. Where the Option Agreement permits an Optionee to exercise an Option
following the termination of such Optionee's service for a specified period, the
Option shall terminate to the extent not exercised on the last day of the
specified period or the last day of the original term of the Option, whichever
occurs first. The Optionee's service with the Participating Company Group shall
not be deemed to terminate if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave,
or other bona fide leave of absence approved by the Company in writing of ninety
(90) days or less. In the event of a leave of absence in excess of ninety (90)
days, the Optionee's service shall be deemed to terminate on the ninety-first
(91st) day of such leave unless the Optionee's right to reemployment with the
Participating Company Group remains guaranteed by statute or contract.

                  6.4 Method of Exercise. Exercise of the Option shall be by
written notice to the Company (or electronic notice if authorized by the
Company) which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
whole shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised and such other
representations and agreements as to the Optionee's investment intent with
respect to such shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this
Plan or the Option Agreement. Notice of exercise must be accompanied by full
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock being
purchased. The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the
Company of such notice and the aggregate Exercise Price.

                  6.5 Payment of Exercise Price.

                      (a)   Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as
otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by
check, or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company of shares of Stock
owned by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company
without regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock
by reason of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter
for the Company) not less than the exercise price, (iii) by the assignment of
the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being
acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through
an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from
time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a
"Cashless Exercise"), (iv) subject to approval by the Company, by the Optionee's
promissory note in a form approved by the Company, (v) by such other
consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent
permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any combination thereof. The Board may
at any time or from time to time, by adoption of or by amendment to the standard
forms of Option Agreement described in Section 7, or by other means, grant
Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be
used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more
forms of consideration.

                      (b) Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock to the
extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the provisions of
any law, regulation or agreement restricting the

                                       6
<PAGE>

redemption of the Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an
Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock unless
such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months
or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

                        (c)   Cashless Exercise. The Company reserves, at any
and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to
establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the
exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise.

                        (d)   Payment by Promissory Note. No promissory note
shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note would be
a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such terms as
the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board shall
have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any promissory
note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired upon the
exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the Company.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if the Company at any time is subject to
the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in
connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall comply with
such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal and
accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable
regulations.

                  6.6   Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the
exercise of an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of
whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company,
equal to all or any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any,
required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect
to such Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. Alternatively
or in addition, in its sole discretion, the Company shall have the right to
require the Optionee, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise,
including by means of a Cashless Exercise, to make adequate provision for any
such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group arising in
connection with the Option or the shares acquired upon the exercise thereof. The
Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares
of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to the Option Agreement until the
Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by
the Optionee.

         7.       Standard Form of Option Agreement.
                  ---------------------------------

                  7.1   General. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at the
time the Option is granted, an Option shall comply with and be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the form of Nonstatutory Stock Option
Agreement adopted by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as
amended from time to time.

                  7.2   Standard Term of Options. Except as otherwise provided
by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall have
a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant of the Option.

                                       7
<PAGE>

                  7.3   Authority to Vary Terms. The Board shall have the
authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Option
Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant or
amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a
new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of
any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement are
not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

         8.       Transfer of Control.
                  -------------------

                  8.1   Definitions.

                        (a)   An "Ownership Change Event" shall be deemed to
have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company:

                              (i)   the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a
single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company;

                              (ii)  a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is a party;

                              (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

                              (iv)  a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

                        (b)   A "Transfer of Control" shall mean an Ownership
Change Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, the
"Transaction") wherein (i) the stockholders of the Company immediately before
the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's
voting stock immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial
ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of
the outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations
to which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "Transferee
Corporation(s)"), as the case may be, or (ii) the Company is party to a going-
private transaction governed by Rule 13e-3 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest
resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or more corporations which,
as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the Transferee
Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or more
subsidiary corporations. The Board shall have the right to determine whether
multiple sales or exchanges of the voting stock of the Company or multiple
Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final,
binding and conclusive.

                  8.2   Effect of Transfer of Control on Options. In the event
of a Transfer of Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "Acquiring
Corporation"), may either assume the Company's

                                       8
<PAGE>

rights and obligations under outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding
Options substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock.
If the Acquiring Corporation neither assumes nor substitutes for any Options,
then vesting of such Options shall accelerate as to 50% of the unvested shares
as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Transfer of Control,
provided that the Optionee's employment or service with the Acquiring
Corporation, whether in the capacity of an Employee, a Director or a Consultant
has not terminated prior to such date. Any Options which are neither assumed or
substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Transfer of
Control nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control shall terminate
and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Transfer of Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of an Option prior
to the Transfer of Control and any consideration received pursuant to the
Transfer of Control with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to
all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement evidencing such Option except
as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding
Options immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in Section
8.1(a)(i) constituting a Transfer of Control is the surviving or continuing
corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty
percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by
another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated
group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the
provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the outstanding Options shall not
terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its sole discretion.

               8.3   Effect of Involuntary Termination Following Transfer of
Control. In the event of the Involuntary Termination of an Optionee within the
first twelve (12) months following a Transfer of Control in which the
outstanding Options are either assumed by the Acquiring Corporation or
substantially equivalent options to acquire shares of common stock of the
Acquiring Corporation are substituted therefor, then vesting of any such assumed
or substituted Options then held by such Optionee shall accelerate as to
one-half (1/2) of the then unvested shares of Stock subject to such Options.

         9.    Provision of Information. Each Optionee shall be given access to
               ------------------------

available to the Company's common stockholders.

         10.   Nontransferability of Options. During the lifetime of the
               -----------------------------
Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable
by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         11.   Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of
               ----------------
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or officers or
employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Board and any
officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to
act for the Board is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all

incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party

in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or
intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days
after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall
offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle
and defend the same.

         12.   Termination or Amendment of Plan. The Board may terminate or
               --------------------------------
amend the Plan at any time. However, no termination or amendment of the Plan may
adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof,
without the consent of the Optionee, unless such termination or amendment is
necessary to comply with any applicable law or government regulation.

         13.   Limitation of Award Grants to Executive Officers.  The Company
               ------------------------------------------------
may not in any one fiscal year grant Options under the Plan for more than
750,000 shares to any executive officer of the Company.

         14.   No Effect on Terms of Employment/Consulting Relationship. The
Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the service of
a Participating Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right
or any Participating Company's right to terminate the Optionee's service as an
Employee or Consultant at any time, with or without cause.

         15.   Rights as a Stockholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a
               -----------------------
stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option until the date of
the issuance of a certificate for the shares for which the Option has been
exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made
for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior
to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 4.2.

         16.   Securities Laws Compliance. The grant of Options under the
               --------------------------
Plan and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of such Options shall be
subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or
foreign law with respect to such securities. No Option may be exercised if the
issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any
applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations
or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock
may then be listed. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to
the Option shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure
to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have
been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may
require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to
make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by
the Company.
