responsibility, to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and
Consultants and to promote the success of the Company's business.  Options
granted under the Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock
Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant.  Stock
Purchase Rights may also be granted under the Plan.

<PAGE>

Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or
sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).  However, Shares that
have actually been issued under the Plan, upon exercise of either an Option
or Stock Purchase Right, shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not
become available for future distribution under the Plan, except that if
Shares of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company at their original
purchase price, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the
Plan.

       4.     ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

              (a)    ADMINISTRATOR.  The Plan shall be administered by the
Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be
constituted to comply with 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
the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant
authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

                     (i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;

                     (ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options and
Stock Purchase Rights may from time to time be granted hereunder;

                     (iii)  to determine the number of Shares to be covered by
each such award granted hereunder;

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

                     (v)    to determine the terms and conditions, of any
Option or Stock Purchase Right granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions
include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when
Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on
performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture
restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option or Stock
Purchase Right or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on
such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

                     (vi)   to determine whether and under what circumstances
an Option may be settled in cash under subsection 9(e) instead of Common
Stock;

                     (vii)  to reduce the exercise price of any Option to the
then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock
covered by such Option has declined since the date the Option was granted;

                     (viii) to initiate an Option Exchange Program;

                                  -4-

<PAGE>

                     (ix)   to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to
sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax
treatment under foreign tax laws;

                     (x)    to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax
obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right that number of
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be
withheld.  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.  All elections by Optionees to have Shares withheld for this
purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the
Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

                     (xi)   to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan
and awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

              (c)    EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and
binding on all Optionees.

       5.     ELIGIBILITY.

              (a)    Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be
granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.

              (b)    Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds
$100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For
purposes of this Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of
the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.

              (c)    Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the
Optionee's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it
interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company's right to
terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

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

                                    -5-

<PAGE>

       7.     TERM OF OPTION.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the
Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant thereof.  In the case of an Incentive Stock
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 or such shorter term as
may be provided in the Option Agreement.

       8.     OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

              (a)    The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the
Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:

                     (i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                            (A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time of
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 exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant.

                            (B)    granted to any other Employee, the per
Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.

                     (ii)   In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option

                            (A)    granted to a Service Provider who, at the
time of 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 exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

                            (B)    granted to any other Service Provider, the
per Share exercise price shall be no less than 85% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.

                     (iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be
granted with a per Share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to
a merger or other corporate transaction.

              (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, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration  may consist of (1) cash,
(2) check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal

                                   -6-

<PAGE>

to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall
be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or
(6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  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 STOCKHOLDER. Any
Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof
at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Option Agreement.  Except in the case of Options granted
to Officers, Directors and Consultants, Options shall become exercisable at a
rate of no less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date the
Options are granted. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of
Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

                     An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company
receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with
the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and
(ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of
payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement
and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in
the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the
Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares,
notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or
cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No
adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record
date is prior to the date the Shares are 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 thereafter 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 RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER.  If
an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement (of at least thirty (30) days) to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee's

                                   -7-

<PAGE>

termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as
to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of
the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Optionee
does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the
Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (c)    DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.  If an Optionee ceases to be a
Service Provider as a result of the Optionee's Disability, the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the
Option Agreement (of at least six (6) months) to the extent the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration
of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement).  In the
absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee's termination.  If,
on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her
entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall
revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his
or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (d)    DEATH OF OPTIONEE.  If an Optionee dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement (of at least six (6) months) to the extent
that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than
the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement) by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquires the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance.  In the absence of a specified
time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve
(12) months following the Optionee's termination.  If, at the time of death,
the Optionee is not vested as to the entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  If the
Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

              (e)    BUYOUT PROVISIONS.  The Administrator may at any time
offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously
granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall
establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made.

       10.    NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.  The
Options and Stock Purchase Rights 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.    STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.

                                   -8-

<PAGE>

              (a)    RIGHTS TO PURCHASE.  Stock Purchase Rights may be issued
either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under
the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.  After the
Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the
Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms,
conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of
Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid,
and the time within which such person must accept such offer.  The terms of
the offer shall comply in all respects with Section 260.140.42 of Title 10 of
the California Code of Regulations.  The offer shall be accepted by execution
of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the
Administrator.

              (b)    REPURCHASE OPTION.  Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall grant the Company a
repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination
of the purchaser's service with the Company for any reason (including death
or disability).  The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the
Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall be the original price paid by the
purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the
purchaser to the Company.  The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as
the Administrator may determine.  Except with respect to Shares purchased by
Officers, Directors and Consultants, the repurchase option shall in no case
lapse at a rate of less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date
of purchase.

              (c)    OTHER PROVISIONS.  The Restricted Stock purchase
agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its
sole discretion.

              (d)    RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.  Once the Stock Purchase Right
is exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a
stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered
upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  No
adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record
date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as
provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

       12.    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.

                                   -9-

<PAGE>

              (a)    CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.  Subject to any required
action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common
Stock covered by each outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, and the
number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance
under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock
Purchase Right, 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.  The 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 or
Stock Purchase Right.

              (b)    DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION.  In the event of the
proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall
notify each Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of
such proposed transaction.  The Administrator in its discretion may provide
for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option or Stock
Purchase Right until fifteen (15) days prior to such transaction as to all of
the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Option
or Stock Purchase Right would not otherwise be exercisable.  In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to
any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation
takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated.  To the extent it has
not been previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

              (c)    MERGER OR ASSET SALE.  In the event of a merger of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right
shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right 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 or Stock Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and
have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right as to all of
the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be
vested or exercisable.  If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully
vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of
a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in
writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be
fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such
notice, and the Option or Stock

                                   -10-

<PAGE>

Purchase Right shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the
purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be
considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or
right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned
Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the
merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders
of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction
(and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale
of assets 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 consieration to be received upon the exercise of the Option
or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the
Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of
assets.

       13.    TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE RIGHTS.  The date
of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the
date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option
or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the
Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service
Provider to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant.

       14.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

              (a)    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.  The Board may at any time
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

              (b)    STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.  The Board shall obtain
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

              (c)    EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION.  No amendment,
alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of
any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee
and the Company.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with
respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such
termination.

       15.    CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

              (a)    LEGAL COMPLIANCE.  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 shall

                                   -11-

<PAGE>

comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of
counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

              (b)    INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS.  As a condition to the
exercise of an Option, the Administrator 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.

       16.    INABILITY TO OBTAIN AUTHORITY.  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.    RESERVATION OF SHARES.  The Company, during the term of this
Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as
shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

       18.    STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by
the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted.  Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree
and manner required under Applicable Laws.

       19.    INFORMATION TO OPTIONEES AND PURCHASERS.  The Company shall
provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant
to the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such
Optionee or purchaser has one or more Options or Stock Purchase Rights
outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant
to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of
annual financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide
such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company
assure their access to equivalent information.

II.  AGREEMENT
     ---------

     1.   GRANT OF OPTION.  The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), an
option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the
Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of
Grant (the "Exercise Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to Section 14(c) of
the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the
Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall
prevail.

          If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code.  Nevertheless, to the extent that it
exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be
treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").

     2.   EXERCISE OF OPTION.  This Option shall be exercisable during its
term in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows:

          (a)  RIGHT TO EXERCISE.

               (i)    Subject to subsections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) below,
this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the vesting
schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant.  Alternatively, at the election of
the Optionee, this option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as
to Shares which have not yet vested.  For purposes of this Stock Option
Agreement, Shares subject to the Option shall vest based on continued
employment of Optionee with the Company.  Vested Shares shall not be subject
to the Company's repurchase right (as set forth in the Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-1).


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

               (ii)   As a condition to exercising this Option for unvested
Shares, the Optionee shall execute the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.

               (iii)  This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a
Share.

          (b)  METHOD OF EXERCISE.  This Option shall be exercisable by
delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as EXHIBIT A (the
"Exercise Notice") which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the
number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and
such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company.
The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as to all Exercised Shares.  This Option shall be deemed to be
exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice
accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price.

          No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option
unless such issuance and such exercise complies with Applicable Laws.
Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be
considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is
exercised with respect to such Shares.

     3.   OPTIONEE'S REPRESENTATIONS.  In the event the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this
Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company,
concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver
to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B.

     4.   LOCK-UP PERIOD.  Optionee hereby agrees that, if so requested by
the Company or any representative of the underwriters (the "Managing
Underwriter") in connection with any registration of the offering of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act, Optionee shall not sell
or otherwise transfer any Shares or other securities of the Company during
the 180-day period (or such other period as may be requested in writing by
the Managing Underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the
"Market Standoff Period") following the effective date of a registration
statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act.  Such restriction
shall apply only  to the first registration statement of the Company to
become effective under the Securities Act that includes securities to be sold
on behalf of the Company to the public in an underwritten public offering
under the Securities Act.  The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions
with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until the
end of such Market Standoff Period.

     5.   METHOD OF PAYMENT.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall
be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:

          (a)  cash;

          (b)  check;


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

          (c)  consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless
exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

          (d)  surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Exercised Shares.

     6.   RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE.  This Option may not be exercised until
such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company,
or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment
of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any
Applicable Law.

     7.   NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.  This Option may not be transferred
in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee.  The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.

     8.   TERM OF OPTION.  This Option may be exercised only within the term
set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

     9.   TAX CONSEQUENCES.  Set forth below is a brief summary as of the
date of this Option of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of
this Option and disposition of the Shares.  THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY
INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.  THE
OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          (a)  EXERCISE OF ISO.  If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there
will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the
Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an
adjustment to the alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may
subject the Optionee to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

          (b)  EXERCISE OF NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION.  There may be a regular
federal income tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option.  The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise
Price.  If Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be
required to withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee
and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a
percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may
refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.


                                      -4-

<PAGE>

          (c)  DISPOSITION OF SHARES.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares are
held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held
for at least one year after exercise and at least two years after the Date of
Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as
long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  If Shares purchased
under an ISO are disposed of within one year after exercise or two years
after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be
treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the
extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale
price of the Shares.  Different rules may apply if the Shares are subject to
a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 83) at the
time of purchase.  Any additional gain will be taxed as capital gain,
short-term depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

          (d)  NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES.  If the
Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or
otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or
before the later of (i) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (ii)
the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately
notify the Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that
Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the
compensation income recognized by the Optionee.

          (e)  SECTION 83(B) ELECTION FOR UNVESTED SHARES PURCHASED PURSUANT
TO OPTIONS.  With respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested Shares,
an election may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue Service,
WITHIN 30 DAYS of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to Section
83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the
purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase.  In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a
recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the date of exercise,
measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at
the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares.
Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by
Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option
lapses.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such an election will
result in a recognition of income to the Optionee for alternative minimum tax
purposes on the date of exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the Shares, at the time the option is exercised, over the
purchase price for the Shares.  Absent such an election, alternative minimum
taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time or
times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses.   Optionee is strongly
encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection
with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the
Election under Section 83(b) of the Code.  A form of Election under Section
83(b) is attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-5 for reference.

     OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT
THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b),


                                      -5-

<PAGE>

EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS
FILING ON OPTIONEE'S BEHALF.

     10.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan is incorporated herein
by reference.  The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and Optionee.  This agreement is governed by the
internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California.

     11.  NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE.  OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY
(NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING
SHARES HEREUNDER).  OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS
AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE
SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR
AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE
COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT
ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

     Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that
he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby
accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof.
Optionee has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option
and fully understands all provisions of the Option.  Optionee hereby agrees
to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations
of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this
Option.  Optionee further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the
residence address indicated below.

                             EXERCISE NOTICE


RealNames Corporation
2 Circle Star Way, 2nd Floor
San Carlos, CA 94070-1350

Attention:  Secretary


     1.   EXERCISE OF OPTION.  Effective as of today, ___________, 19__,
the undersigned ("Optionee") hereby elects to exercise Optionee's option to
purchase _________ shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") of RealNames
Corporation (the "Company") under and pursuant to the 1997 Stock Plan (the
"Plan") and the Stock Option Agreement dated ________, 19__  (the "Option
Agreement").

     2.   DELIVERY OF PAYMENT.  Purchaser herewith delivers to the Company
the full purchase price of the Shares, as set forth in the Option Agreement.

     3.   REPRESENTATIONS OF OPTIONEE.  Optionee acknowledges that Optionee
has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and
agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

     4.   RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.  Until the issuance of the Shares (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company), 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 Shares
shall be issued to the Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is
exercised.  No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for
which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in
Section 12 of the Plan.

     5.   COMPANY'S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  Before any Shares held by
Optionee or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the
"Holder") may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or
operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first
refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section (the "Right of First Refusal").

          (a)  NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER.  The Holder of the Shares shall
deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating:  (i) the
Holder's bona fide intention to sell or


<PAGE>

otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or
other transferee ("Proposed Transferee"); (iii) the number of Shares to be
transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or
other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the
"Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price
to the Company or its assignee(s).

          (b)  EXERCISE OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  At any time within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s)
may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not
less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of
the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with
subsection (c) below.

          (c)   PURCHASE PRICE.  The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for
the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section
shall be the Offered Price.  If the Offered Price includes consideration
other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration
shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

          (d)  PAYMENT.  Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the
option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation
of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the
Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or
by any combination thereof within 30 days after receipt of the Notice or in
the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

          (e)  HOLDER'S RIGHT TO TRANSFER.  If all of the Shares proposed in
the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased
by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the
Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee
at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other
transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that
any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable
securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the
provisions of this Section shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands
of such Proposed Transferee.  If the Shares described in the Notice are not
transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall
be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be
offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may
be sold or otherwise transferred.

          (f)  EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN FAMILY TRANSFERS.  Anything to the
contrary contained in this Section notwithstanding, the transfer of any or
all of the Shares during the Optionee's lifetime or on the Optionee's death
by will or intestacy to the Optionee's immediate family or a trust for the
benefit of the Optionee's immediate family shall be exempt from the
provisions of this Section.  "Immediate Family" as used herein shall mean
spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister.
In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the
Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section, and there
shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the
terms of this Section.


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

          (g)  TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.  The Right of First
Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the first sale of Common Stock
of the Company to the general public pursuant to a registration statement
filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     6.   TAX CONSULTATION.  Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer
adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee's purchase or disposition of
the Shares.  Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax
consultants Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase or
disposition of the Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for
any tax advice.

     7.   RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.

          (a)  LEGENDS.  Optionee understands and agrees that the Company
shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent
thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the
Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or
by state or federal securities laws:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
          THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD
          OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
          REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL
          SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR
          TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

          THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
          RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTIONS HELD BY
          THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE
          BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY
          OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.
          SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING
          ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

          (b)  STOP-TRANSFER NOTICES.  Optionee agrees that, in order to
ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may
issue appropriate "stop transfer"


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company
transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same
effect in its own records.

                      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

OPTIONEE          :

COMPANY           :     REALNAMES CORPORATION

SECURITY          :     COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT            :     < < SharesGranted > >

DATE              :

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following:

          (a)  Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and
financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company
to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.
Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own
account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
"distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

          (b)  Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Optionee's investment intent as expressed herein.  In this
connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be
unavailable if Optionee's representation was predicated solely upon a present
intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period
specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase
or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one
year or any other fixed period in the future.  Optionee further understands
that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available.  Optionee further acknowledges and understands that the Company is
under no obligation to register the Securities.  Optionee understands that
the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend
which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or
such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Company, a legend prohibiting their transfer without the consent of the
Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California and any other legend
required under applicable state securities laws.


<PAGE>

          (c)  Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule
144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit
limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.  Rule 701 provides that if the issuer
qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the
Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act.  In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90)
days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may
require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the
satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including:
(1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's
transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is
defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an
affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the
Company, (3) the amount of Securities being sold during any three month
period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the
timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

     In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the
time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires
the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the
Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by
an affiliate of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case
of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who
subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph
immediately above.

          (d)  Optionee further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration
under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other
registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact
that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell
private placement securities other than in a registered offering and
otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of
proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for
such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who
participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.  Optionee
understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration
exemption will be available in such event.

                                   Signature of Optionee:

                            REALNAMES CORPORATION

                              1997 STOCK PLAN

                    RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT is made between ____________________________________ (the
"Purchaser") and RealNames Corporation (the "Company") as of
__________________, 199__.

                                 RECITALS
                                 --------

     A.   Pursuant to the exercise of the Option granted to Purchaser under
the Company's 1997 Stock Plan (the "Plan") and pursuant to the Stock Option
Agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated August 16, 1999 by and between the
Company and Purchaser with respect to such grant, which Plan and Option
Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to
purchase _________ of those shares which have not become vested under the
vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement ("Unvested Shares").  The
Unvested Shares and the shares subject to the Option Agreement which have
become vested are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares".

     B.   As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser's
election to exercise the option, Purchaser must execute this Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the rights and obligations of the
parties with respect to Unvested Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.

     1.   REPURCHASE OPTION.

          (a)     If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated
for any reason, including for cause, death, and Disability, the Company shall
have the right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal
representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as
of the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such
Shares (the "Repurchase Option").

          (b)     Upon the occurrence of a termination, the Company may
exercise its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered
mail, to Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case
may be), within ninety (90) days of the termination, a notice in writing
indicating the Company's intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and
setting forth a date for closing not later than thirty (30) days from the
mailing of such notice. The closing shall take place at the Company's office.
 At the closing, the holder of the certificates for the Unvested Shares being
transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or certificates evidencing
the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the purchase price
therefor.


<PAGE>

          (c)     At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for
the Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company.  The Company shall
avail itself of this option by a notice in writing to Purchaser stating the
name and address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the
Company's office.

          (d)     If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase
Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days
following the termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate.

          (e)     The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with
the Vesting Schedule in Optionee's Option Agreement.

     2.   TRANSFERABILITY OF THE SHARES; ESCROW.

          (a)     Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Secretary of
the Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the
Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from
Purchaser to the Company.

          (b)     To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser's
Unvested Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase
Option under Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary, or any other
person designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to
sell, assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any,
repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon
execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the Secretary of the
Company, or such other person designated by the Company, the share
certificates representing the Unvested Shares, together with the stock
assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-2.  The
Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall be held by the Secretary in
escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and
Purchaser attached as EXHIBIT C-3 hereto, until the Company exercises its
purchase right as provided in Section 1, until such Unvested Shares are
vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect.  As a
further condition to the Company's obligations under this Agreement, the
spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the
Consent of Spouse attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-4.  Upon vesting of the
Unvested Shares, the escrow agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the
certificate or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's
possession belonging to the Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be
discharged of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the
escrow agent shall nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as
escrow agent if so required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant
to this Agreement.

          (c)     The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any
act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and
while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

          (d)     Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions
on transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws.  Any
transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and
the Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any


                                      -2-

<PAGE>

Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by
signing a copy of this Agreement.

     3.   OWNERSHIP, VOTING RIGHTS, DUTIES.  This Agreement shall not affect
in any way the ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of
Purchaser, except as specifically provided herein.

     4.   LEGENDS.  The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued
hereunder shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any
legend required under applicable state securities laws):

     THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE
WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

     5.   ADJUSTMENT FOR STOCK SPLIT.  All references to the number of Shares
and the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the
Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement.

     6.   NOTICES.  Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by
registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the
Company, and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices.

     7.   SURVIVAL OF TERMS.  This Agreement shall apply to and bind
Purchaser and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and
transferees, heirs, legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors.

     8.   SECTION 83(B) ELECTION.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or
she has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an Option for
unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Purchaser with the Internal
Revenue Service, WITHIN 30 DAYS of the purchase of the Shares, electing
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference
between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the
date of purchase.  In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will
result in a recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of
exercise, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the
Shares, at the time the Option is exercised over the purchase price for the
Shares.  Absent such an election, taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's
Repurchase Option lapses.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such an
election will result in a recognition of income to the Purchaser for
alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise, measured by the
excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares, at the time the
option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares.  Absent such an
election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and recognized
by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option
lapses.   Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her
own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing


                                      -3-

<PAGE>

of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code.  A form of Election under
Section 83(b) is attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-5 for reference.

     PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND
NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF
PURCHASER REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON
PURCHASER'S BEHALF.

     9.   REPRESENTATIONS.  Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors
the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser is relying solely
on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company
or any of its agents.  Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company)
shall be responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of
this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     10.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by the internal
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

     Purchaser represents that he has read this Agreement and is familiar
with its terms and provisions.  Purchaser hereby agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any
questions arising under this Agreement.

Attention:  Secretary


Dear Secretary:

     As Escrow Agent for both RealNames Corporation (the "Company"), and the
undersigned purchaser of stock of the Company (the "Purchaser"), you are
hereby authorized and directed to hold the documents delivered to you
pursuant to the terms of that certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") between the Company and the undersigned, in accordance with the
following instructions:

     1.   In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company
(referred to collectively for convenience herein as the "Company") exercises
the Company's repurchase option set forth in the Agreement, the Company shall
give to Purchaser and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of
stock to be purchased, the purchase price, and the time for a closing
hereunder at the principal office of the Company.  Purchaser and the Company
hereby irrevocably authorize and direct you to close the transaction
contemplated by such notice in accordance with the terms of said notice.

     2.   At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the stock assignments
necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares
being transferred, and (c) to deliver same, together with the certificate
evidencing the shares of stock to be transferred, to the Company or its

     3.   Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you
any certificates evidencing shares of stock to be held by you hereunder and
any additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement.

attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to execute with
respect to such securities all documents necessary or appropriate to make
such securities negotiable and to complete any transaction herein

Within 120 days after cessation of Purchaser's continuous employment by or
services to the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, you will
deliver to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate
number of shares held or issued pursuant to the Agreement and not purchased
by the Company or its assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company's
repurchase option.

     5.   If at the time of termination of this escrow you should have in
your possession any documents, securities, or other property belonging to
Purchaser, you shall deliver all of the same to Purchaser and shall be
discharged of all further obligations hereunder.

     6.   Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or revoked
only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

parties.  You shall not be personally liable for any act you may do or omit
to do hereunder as Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact for Purchaser while
acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted by you pursuant to the
advice of your own attorneys shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

     8.   You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all
warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or
corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby
expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of
any court.  In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or
decree, you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other
person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any
such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified,
annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without
jurisdiction.

authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to
execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or
called for hereunder.

experts as you may deem necessary properly to advise you in connection with

connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect
hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such
instruments.

respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the
securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain
in your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said
