under the Plan is 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Shares may be
authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

        If an Option should expire or become unexercisable for any reason
without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject
thereto shall, unless the Plan shall have been terminated, become available for
future grant under the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan,
shares issued under the Plan and later repurchased by the Company shall not
become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.

        4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

               (a) COMPOSITION OF ADMINISTRATOR. The Plan shall be administered

<PAGE>   4
all members of a Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to
the extent permitted by the Applicable Laws.

               (b) POWERS OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by, or
limitations of authority imposed by, the Board to or on such Committee, the
Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

                      (i) to grant Options under the Plan;

                      (ii) to determine, upon review of relevant information and
in accordance with Section 2(m) of the Plan, the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock;

                      (iii) to determine the exercise price per share of Options
to be granted, which exercise price shall be determined in accordance with
Section 8(a) of the Plan;

                      (iv) to determine the Employees or Consultants to whom,
and the time or times at which, Options shall be granted and the number of
shares to be represented by each Option;

                      (v) to interpret the Plan;

                      (vi) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

                      (vii) to determine the terms and provisions of each Option
granted (which need not be identical) and, with the consent of the holder
thereof, modify or amend each Option;

                      (viii) to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the
Optionee) the exercise date of any Option;

                      (ix) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the
Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option previously
granted by the Administrator; and

                      (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan.

               (c) EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION. All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees and any other holders of any Options granted under the
Plan.

        5. ELIGIBILITY.

               (a) RECIPIENTS OF GRANTS. Options may be granted only to
Employees and Consultants. An Employee or Consultant who has been granted an
Option may, if he is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Option or
Options.


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
               (b) TYPE OF OPTION. Each Option shall be designated in the Option
Agreement as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

               (c) AT-WILL RELATIONSHIP. The Plan shall not confer upon any
Optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting
relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right
or the Company's right to terminate his employment or consulting relationship at
any time, with or without cause.

        6. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by
the Board of Directors. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years
unless sooner terminated under Section 14 of the Plan.

        7. TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from
the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option
Agreement.

        8. EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

               (a) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued
pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator.

               (b) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2) check, (3)
promissory note, (4) other Shares of Common Stock which (i) either have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or
were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and (ii) have a
fair market value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price
of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised, (5) delivery of a
properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a
broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds
required to pay the exercise price, (6) any combination of such methods of
payment, or (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance
of Shares to the extent permitted under the Applicable Laws. In making its
determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall
consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to
benefit the Company.

        9. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

               (a) PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE; RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, consistent with the terms of the Plan and
reflected in the Option Agreement, including vesting requirements and/or
performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee; provided,
however, that such Option shall become exercisable at the rate of at least 20%
per year over five years from the date the Option is granted. In the event that
any of the Shares issued upon exercise of an Option should be subject to a right
of repurchase in the Company's favor, such repurchase right shall lapse at the
rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the date the Option is
granted. Notwithstanding the above, in the case of an Option granted to an
officer, Director or Consultant of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of
the


                                      -5-
<PAGE>   6
Company, the Option may become fully exercisable, or a repurchase right, if any,
in favor of the Company shall lapse, at any time or during any period
established by the Administrator.

               An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

               An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of
such exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 9(b) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the
Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock
certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to
be issued) such stock certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan.

               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in
the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

               (b) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP. In the
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Service Status with the
Company, such Optionee may, but only within three (3) months (or such other
period of time, not less than 30 days, as is determined by the Administrator)
after the date of such termination (but in no event later than the date of
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement),
exercise his Option to the extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the
date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not
exercise the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified above,
the Option shall terminate and the Optioned Stock underlying the unexercised
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by
the Administrator, no termination shall be deemed to occur and this Section 9(b)
shall not apply if (i) the Optionee is a Consultant who becomes an Employee, or
(ii) the Optionee is an Employee who becomes a Consultant.

               (c) DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.

                      (i) Notwithstanding Section 9(b) above, in the event of
termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a
result of his or her total and permanent disability (within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee may, but only within twelve months
from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration
date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise
the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of termination, or if


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

                      (ii) In the event of termination of an Optionee's
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of a disability which
does not fall within the meaning of total and permanent disability (as set forth
in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), such Optionee may, but only within six months
from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the expiration
date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise
the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. However, to the extent that such Optionee fails to exercise an
Option which is an Incentive Stock Option (within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code) within three months of the date of such termination, the Option will
not qualify for Incentive Stock Option treatment under the Code. To the extent
that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within six months from the date of termination, the Option shall
terminate.

               (d) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee
during the period of Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of the
Option, or within 30 days following termination of the Optionee's Continuous
Service Status, the Option may be exercised, at any time within six months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration date of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by such
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that
had accrued at the date of death or, if earlier, the date of termination of the
Optionee's Continuous Service Status. To the extent that the Optionee was not
entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death or termination, as the case
may be, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so
entitled within the time specified above, the Option shall terminate.

        10. TAXES.

               (a) As a condition of the exercise of an Option granted under the
Plan, the Optionee (or in the case of the Optionee's death, the person
exercising the Option) shall make such arrangements as the Administrator may
require for the satisfaction of any applicable federal, state, local or foreign
withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise of an
Option and the issuance of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue
any Shares under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

               (b) In the case of an Employee and in the absence of any other
arrangement, the Employee shall be deemed to have directed the Company to
withhold or collect from his or her compensation an amount sufficient to satisfy
such tax obligations from the next payroll payment otherwise payable after the
date of an exercise of the Option.

               (c) In the case of a Optionee other than an Employee (or in the
case of an Employee where the next payroll payment is not sufficient to satisfy
such tax obligations, with respect to any remaining tax obligations), in the
absence of any other arrangement and to the extent permitted under the
Applicable Laws, the Optionee shall be deemed to have elected to


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the
Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value determined as of the
applicable Tax Date (as defined below) equal to the minimum statutory amount
required to be withheld. For purposes of this Section 10, the Fair Market Value
of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of
tax to be withheld is to be determined under the Applicable Laws (the "Tax
Date").

               (d) If permitted by the Administrator, in its discretion, a
Optionee may satisfy his or her tax withholding obligations upon exercise of an
Option by surrendering to the Company Shares that (i) in the case of Shares
previously acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value
determined as of the applicable Tax Date equal to the minimum statutory amount
required to be withheld.

               (e) Any election or deemed election by a Optionee to have Shares
withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations under Section 10(c) or (d) above
shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is
made and shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Administrator.
Any election by an Optionee under Section 10(d) above must be made on or prior
to the applicable Tax Date.

               (f) In the event an election to have Shares withheld is made by a
Optionee and the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code because no
election is filed under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Optionee shall receive
the full number of Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised but such
Optionee shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the
proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

        11. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Options may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised or purchased
during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee.

        12. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, CORPORATE TRANSACTION
AND OTHER TRANSACTION.

               (a) ADJUSTMENTS. Subject to any required action by the
shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, and the price per share of Common Stock covered by each
such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock
split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of
the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued
shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company;
provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company
shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."
Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that
respect shall be


                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance
by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into
shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof
shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock
subject to an Option.

               (b) DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee at
least 15 days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been
previously exercised, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.

               (c) MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS. In the event of a proposed sale of
all or substantially all of the Company's assets or a merger of the Company with
or into another corporation where the successor corporation issues its
securities to the Company's shareholders, each outstanding Option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by such successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the
successor corporation does not agree to assume the outstanding Options or
substitute equivalent options, in which case the outstanding Options shall
terminate upon the consummation of the transaction.

               For purposes of this Section 12(c), an Option shall be considered
assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other
consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each Optionee would be entitled to
receive upon exercise of an Option the same number and kind of shares of stock
or the same amount of property, cash or securities as the Optionee would have
been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such transaction if the Optionee
had been, immediately prior to the transaction, the holder of the number of
Shares of Common Stock covered by the Option at such time (after giving effect
to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Option as provided for
in this Section 12); provided however that if such consideration received in the
transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Option to be
solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal to the Fair
Market Value of the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock
in the transaction.

               (d) CERTAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event of any distribution to
the Company's shareholders of securities of any other entity or other assets
(other than dividends payable in cash or stock of the Company) without receipt
of consideration by the Company, the Administrator may, in its discretion,
appropriately adjust the price per Share of Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Option to reflect the effect of such distribution.

        13. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option. Notice of the determination shall be given to each
Employee or Consultant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

        14. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
               (a) AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may amend or terminate
the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable

               (b) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect Options already granted
(except to the extent contemplated by such Options) and such Options shall
remain in full force and effect, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Board (or other body then administering the Plan), which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company.

        15. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be issued
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with the
Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.

        As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the
person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such
exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any
present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

        16. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. The inability of the Company
to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

        17. OPTION AGREEMENTS. Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements
in such forms as the Administrator shall from time to time approve.

        18. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months before or after
the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the
degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law and the rules
of any Stock Exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed. All Options issued
under the Plan shall become void in the event such approval is not obtained.

        19. INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES. If required by the Applicable Laws, the
Company shall provide financial statements at least annually to each Optionee
during the period such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding, and in the
case of an individual who acquired Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the
period such individual owns such Shares. The Company shall not be required to
provide such information if the issuance of Options under the Plan is limited to
key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to
equivalent information. In addition, at the time of issuance of any securities
under the Plan, the

Company shall provide to the Optionee a copy of the Plan and any agreement(s)
pursuant to which securities granted under the Plan are issued.
