appointed, the Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by
the Board of Directors. Members of the Board who are either eligible for
Options or have been granted Options may vote on any matters affecting the
administration of the Plan or the grant of any Options pursuant to the Plan,
except that no such member shall act upon the granting of an Option to himself,
but any such member may be counted in determining the existence of a quorum at
any meeting of the Board during which action is taken with respect to the
granting of Options to him. From time to time the Board of Directors may
increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof,
remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution
therefor, fill vacancies however caused, or remove all members of the Committee
and thereafter directly administer the Plan.

          (b) POWERS OF THE BOARD. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,

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 prescribe, amend and rescind rules
and regulations relating to 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 including the
exercise price thereof (but not to reduce the price below the fair market value
of the Common Stock on the date of the Amendment); (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 Board;
and (x) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.

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

     5.   ELIGIBILITY.

          (a) 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. No Employee whose annual
rate of compensation is $30,000 or less shall be granted Options having an
aggregate exercise price exceeding five percent (5%) of such compensation.

          (b) 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.

     6.   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
shareholders of the Company as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under
Section 3 of the Plan.

     7.    TERM OF OPTION. The term of each Nonstatutory Stock Option
shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as
may be provided in the Nonstatutory Stock Option agreement. However, in the
case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is
granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the
term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or
such shorter term as may be provided in the Nonstatutory Stock 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 Board, but
shall be subject to the following:

              (i) For an Option granted to a person who, at the time of the
grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of
the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair
market value per Share on the date of the grant.

              (ii) For an Option granted to any other person, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the fair market value per Share on
the date of grant.

                                   -4-

   5

          (b) The fair market value shall be determined by the Board in its
discretion provided, however, that where there is a public market for the
Common Stock, the fair market value per Share shall be the mean of the bid and
asked prices (or the closing price per share if the Common Stock is listed on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ")
National Market System) of the Common Stock for the date of grant, as reported
in the Wall Street Journal (or, if not so reported, as otherwise reported by
the NASDAQ System) or, in the event the Common Stock is listed on a stock
exchange, the fair market value per Share shall be the closing price on such
exchange on the date of grant of the Option, as reported in the Wall Street
Journal.

          (c)    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 Board and may consist entirely of cash, check, promissory note, other
Shares of Common Stock having 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, or any combination of such methods of payment, or such
other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the
extent permitted under Sections 408 and 409 of the California General
Corporation Law.  In making its determination as to the type of consideration
to accept, the Board shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company (Section 315(b) of the California
General Corporation Law).

     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 Board, including performance criteria with respect to the
Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms of
the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, every option must become exercisable
at least at the rate of twenty percent (20%) of the total shares per year (or
such more accelerated rate as provided in the Non-Statutory Option Agreement).

          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 Board, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(c) of the Plan.
Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of

                                      -5-

   6

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 11 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 STATUS AS AN EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT. In the
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or
Consultant (as the case may be), such Optionee may, at any time thereafter
during the term of the Option, exercise his Option to the extent that he was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that he
was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination the
Option shall terminate.

          (c) DEATH OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of an Optionee
the Option may be exercised, at any time following the date of death (but only
during the term of such Option) by the 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
termination of employment.

     10. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. The Option 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, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

     11. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR MERGER. 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, as well as 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

                                   -6-

   7


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 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.

          In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, the Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. The Board may, in
the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option
shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the
right to exercise his Option as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock,
including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.
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, the
Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation,
unless the Board determines, in the event that the successor corporation
refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, that the Optionee shall have
the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including
Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board
makes an Option fully exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify the Optionee that
the Option shall be fully exercisable for a period of not fewer than twenty
days from the date of such notice, and the Option will terminate upon the
expiration of such period. For purposes of this Section 11, an option shall be
considered to have been assumed, or an equivalent option substituted therefor,
if the Optionee thereafter has the right upon exercise to receive for each
share of Optioned Stock which would otherwise have been received either (a) the
consideration received by the holder of the share of Common Stock pursuant to
the merger or other transaction, or (ii) other consideration of equal value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

     12. TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS. The date of grant of an Option shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Board 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.

                                   -7-

     13.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

          (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;
provided that, the following revisions or amendments shall require approval of
the shareholders of the Company in the manner described in Section 17 of the
Plan:

              (i) any increase in the number of Shares subject to the Plan,
other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 11 of the Plan;

              (ii) any change in the designation of the class of persons
eligible to be granted Options; or

              (iii) if the Company has a class of equity securities registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act at the time of such revision or amendment,
any material increase in the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan.

          (b) SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. If any amendment requiring shareholder
approval under Section 13(a) of the Plan is made subsequent to the first
registration of any class of equity securities by the Company under Section 12
of the Exchange Act, such shareholder approval shall be solicited as described
in Section 17 of the Plan.

          (c) EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee
and the Board, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee
and the Company.

     14.  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 all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, 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

                                   -8-

   9


the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned 
relevant provisions of law.

     15. 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.

     16. OPTION AGREEMENT. Options shall be evidenced by written option
agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.

     17. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the
date the Plan is adopted by the Board of Directors. Shareholder approval must
be obtained, either at a duly held shareholder's meeting or by
written consent, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Company.

     18. INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES. The Company shall provide to each Optionee,
during the period for which such Optionee has one or more Options outstanding,
copies of all annual reports and other information which are provided to all
shareholders of the Company. 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.

current compensation is insufficient to satisfy the withholding tax liability,
the Company may require the Optionee to make a cash payment to cover such
liability as a condition of exercise of this Option. Upon a resale of such
shares by the Optionee, any difference between the sale price and the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the Option will be
treated as capital gain or loss.

        12.  RESTRICTION ON SALE AFTER PUBLIC OFFERING. In the event that the
Company registers shares of Common Stock for public sale in an underwritten
offering pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, Optionee agrees not to sell,
contract to sell, sell short, acquire any option to sell or otherwise dispose
of any of the Shares or make a short sale of any Common Stock for a period of
up to 180 days commencing on the effective date of such registration as
required by the managing underwriter of such public offering, provided that the
officers of the Company similarly agree with respect to their Common Stock.
