3. ELIGIBILITY.
(a) Any Employee who shall be employed by the Company on a
given Enrollment Date shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.
(b) Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to
the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person

the Code) would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options
to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total
combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the
Company or of any Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to
purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its
subsidiaries accrues at a rate which exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the fair market value of the shares at
the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is
outstanding at any time.
4. OFFERING PERIODS. The Plan shall be implemented by
consecutive Offering Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the
first Trading Day on or after January 1 and July 1 each year, or on such
other date as the Board shall determine, and continuing thereafter until

such change is announced at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled
beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter.
5. PARTICIPATION.
(a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan
by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the
form of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office
prior to the applicable Enrollment Date.
(b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the
first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in
the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription
agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of
the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering
Period.
(b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be
credited to his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole
percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such
account.
-3-
<PAGE>
(c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in
the Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate
of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or
filing with the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in
payroll deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the number of
participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in rate shall
be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days
after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant's
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to
comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a
participant's payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any
time during an Offering Period. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate
provided in such participant's subscription agreement at the beginning of the
first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year,
unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part,
or at the time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan
is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's
federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon
the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time,
the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.
7. GRANT OF OPTION. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering
Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be
granted an option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period
(at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's
Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions
accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's
account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided
that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each
Offering Period more than 2,000 shares (subject to any adjustment pursuant to
Section 19), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option
shall occur as provided in Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has
withdrawn pursuant to Section 10 hereof. The Option shall expire on the last
day of the Offering Period.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Unless a participant withdraws from the
Plan as provided in Section 10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of
shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum
number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such
participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll
deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares shall be purchased;
any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant's account which are not
sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant's
account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by
the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over
in a participant's account
-4-
<PAGE>
after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a
participant's lifetime, a participant's option to purchase shares hereunder
is exercisable only by him or her.
9. DELIVERY. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise
Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the
delivery to each participant, as appropriate, the shares purchased upon
exercise of his or her option.
10. WITHDRAWAL.
(a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the
payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise
his or her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the
Company in the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant's payroll
deductions credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant
promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant's option for
the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll
deductions for the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If
a participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not
resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant
delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.
(b) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall
not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar
plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering
Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which
the participant withdraws.
11. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Upon a participant's ceasing to
be an Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to
withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such
participant's account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise
the option shall be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or
her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 15 hereof,
and such participant's option shall be automatically terminated. The
preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives payment in
lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as continuing to
be an Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per week of
employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such
payment in lieu of notice.
12. INTEREST. No interest shall accrue on the payroll
deductions of a participant in the Plan.
13. STOCK.
(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of
the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of
the Company's Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan
shall be threehundred fifty thousand (350,000) shares, plus an annual increase
to be added on the first day of the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2001
equal to the lesser of (i) 350,000 shares, (ii) two percent (2%) of the
outstanding shares on such date or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the
Board. If, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which
options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under
the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining
available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it
shall determine to be equitable.
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) The participant shall have no interest or voting right in
shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.
(c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan
shall be registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the
participant and his or her spouse.
14. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Board
or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or
its committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to
construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility
and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding,
decision and determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the
full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.
15. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.
(a) A participant may file a written designation of a
beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the
participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death
subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to
delivery to such participant of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from
the participant's account under the Plan in the event of such participant's
death prior to exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the
designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for
such designation to be effective.
(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the
participant at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a
participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the
Plan who is living at the time of such participant's death, the Company shall
deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate
of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed
(to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver
such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to
the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
16. TRANSFERABILITY. Neither payroll deductions credited to a
participant's account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option
or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the participant. Any
such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be
without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to
withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
17. USE OF FUNDS. All payroll deductions received or held by
the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate
purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll
deductions.
18. REPORTS. Individual accounts shall be maintained for each
participant in the Plan. Statements of account shall be given to
participating Employees at least annually, which statements shall set forth
the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares
purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

19. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.
(a) CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. Subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, the maximum number of shares
each participant may purchase per Offering Period (pursuant to Section 7), as
well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised 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 shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been
"effected without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by
the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no 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 proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period then in progress
shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New Exercise Date"), and
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Board. The New
Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's proposed dissolution or
liquidation. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least ten
(10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for
the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the
participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period
as provided in Section 10 hereof.
(c) MERGER OR ASSET SALE. In the event of a proposed sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding option shall be
assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the
successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the option, the
Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise
Date (the "New Exercise Date"). The New Exercise Date shall be before the date
of the Company's proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each
participant in writing, at least ten (10) business days prior to the New
Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the participant's option has been
changed to the New Exercise Date and that the participant's option shall be
exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the
participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10
hereof.

<PAGE>
20. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and
for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 19
hereof, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that
an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise
Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Offering Period or the
Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as
provided in Section 19 and Section 20 hereof, no amendment may make any change
in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any
participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or
any other applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule), the Company shall
obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether
any participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock
for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable
which are consistent with the Plan.
(c) In the event the Board determines that the ongoing
operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting
consequences, the Board may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or
desirable, modify or amend the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting
consequence including, but not limited to:
(1) altering the Purchase Price for any Offering
Period including an Offering Period underway at the time of the change in
Purchase Price;
(2) shortening any Offering Period so that Offering
Period ends on a new Exercise Date, including an Offering Period underway at
the time of the Board action; and
(3) allocating shares.
Such modifications or amendments shall not require stockholder approval
or the consent of any Plan participants.
21. NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a
participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be
deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the
Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the
receipt thereof.
22. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES. Shares shall not be
issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the
issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
-8-
<PAGE>
limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder,
and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.
As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may
require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time
of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment
and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.
23. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by
the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect for a term of
ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.
