Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):

         (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
              ended December 31, 1996, filed with the SEC on February 7, 1997;

         (b)  The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
              ended March 29, 1997 and June 28, 1997, filed with the SEC on May

         (c)  The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on

         (d)  The Registrant's Registration Statement No. 0-26946 on Form 8-A
              filed with the SEC on October 5, 1995 pursuant to Section 12 of
              the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
              in which there is described the terms, rights and provisions
              applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock.

         All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed
pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of
this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement
to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed
document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall

Item 9.  Undertakings

                      A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the
prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any
material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses
(1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act
that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that
for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof and
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Registrant's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

                      B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)



                                      II-2
<PAGE>   4
of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                      C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

interests of Intevac, Inc. by providing eligible employees with the opportunity
to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation through participation in a
payroll-deduction based employee stock purchase plan designed to qualify under
Section 423 of the Code.

                  Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the attached Appendix.

      II.         ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

                  The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret
and construe any provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations
for administering the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to comply with the
requirements of Code Section 423. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

     III.         STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

                  A. The stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of
authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common
Stock purchased on the open market. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed five hundred
thousand (500,000) shares.

                  B. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of
any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares,
exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a
class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and class of securities
issuable under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number and class of securities
purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date and (iii) the number and
class of securities and the price per share in effect under each outstanding
purchase right in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits
thereunder.

      IV.         OFFERING PERIODS

                  A. Shares of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under
the Plan through a series of successive offering periods until such time as (i)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner
terminated.

                  B. Each offering period shall be of such duration (not to
exceed twenty-four (24) months) as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to
the start date. However, the initial offering period shall commence at the
Effective Time and terminate on the last business day in January 1998. The next
offering period shall commence on the first business day in February 1998, and
subsequent offering periods shall commence as designated by the Plan
Administrator.

                  C. Each offering period shall be comprised of a series of one
or more successive Purchase Intervals. Purchase Intervals shall run from the
first business day in February to the last business day in July each year and
from the first business day in August each year to the last business day in
January of the following year. However, the first Purchase Interval in effect
under the initial offering period shall commence at the Effective Time and
terminate on the last business day in July 1996.

                  D. Should the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
any Purchase Date within an offering period be less than the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on the start date of that offering period, then that
offering period shall automatically terminate immediately after the purchase of
shares of Common Stock on such Purchase Date, and a new offering period shall
commence on the next business day following such Purchase Date. The duration of
that new offering period shall be established by the Plan Administrator within
five (5) business days following such start date.

       V.         ELIGIBILITY

                  A. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start
date of any offering period under the Plan may enter that offering period on
such start date or on any subsequent Semi-Annual Entry Date within that offering
period, provided he or she remains an Eligible Employee.

                  B. Each individual who first becomes an Eligible Employee
after the start date of an offering period may enter that offering period on any
subsequent Semi-Annual Date within that offering period on which he or she is an
Eligible Employee.

                  C. The date an individual enters an offering period shall be
designated his or her Entry Date for purposes of that offering period.

                  D. To participate in the Plan for a particular offering
period, the Eligible Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by
the Plan Administrator (including a stock purchase agreement and a payroll
deduction authorization) and file such forms with the Plan Administrator (or its
designate) on or before his or her scheduled Entry Date.

      VI.         PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

                  A. The payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for
purposes of acquiring shares of Common Stock during an offering period may be
any multiple of one percent




                                       2.
<PAGE>   3
(1%) of the Base Salary paid to the Participant during each Purchase Interval
within that offering period, up to a maximum of ten percent (10%). The deduction
rate so authorized shall continue in effect throughout the offering period,
except to the extent such rate is changed in accordance with the following
guidelines:

                                  (i)       The Participant may, at any time 
         during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll deduction
         to become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate
         form with the Plan Administrator. The Participant may not, however,
         effect more than one (1) such reduction per Purchase Interval.

                                 (ii)       The Participant may, prior to the
         commencement of any new Purchase Interval within the offering period,
         increase the rate of his or her payroll deduction by filing the
         appropriate form with the Plan Administrator. The new rate (which may
         not exceed the ten percent (10%) maximum) shall become effective as of
         the start date of the first Purchase Interval following the filing of
         such form.

                  B. Payroll deductions shall begin on the first pay day
following the Participant's Entry Date into the offering period and shall
(unless sooner terminated by the Participant) continue through the pay day
ending with or immediately prior to the last day of that offering period. The
amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant's book account under
the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time to time
outstanding in such account. The amounts collected from the Participant shall
not be held in any segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with
the general assets of the Corporation and used for general corporate purposes.

                  C. Payroll deductions shall automatically cease upon the
termination of the Participant's purchase right in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan.

                  D. The Participant's acquisition of Common Stock under the
Plan on any Purchase Date shall neither limit nor require the Participant's
acquisition of Common Stock on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the
same or a different offering period.

      VII.        PURCHASE RIGHTS

                  A. GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. A Participant shall be granted a
separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or she
participates. The purchase right shall be granted on the Participant's Entry
Date into the offering period and shall provide the Participant with the right
to purchase shares of Common Stock, in a series of successive installments over
the remainder of such offering period, upon the terms set forth below. The
Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such terms and
such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan Administrator
may deem advisable.




                                       3.
<PAGE>   4
                  Under no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under
the Plan to any Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after
the grant, own (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding
options or other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more
of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the
Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate.

                  B. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT. Each purchase right shall
be automatically exercised in installments on each successive Purchase Date
within the offering period, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be
purchased on behalf of each Participant (other than any Participant whose
payroll deductions have previously been refunded in accordance with the
Termination of Purchase Right provisions below) on each such Purchase Date. The
purchase shall be effected by applying the Participant's payroll deductions for
the Purchase Interval ending on such Purchase Date to the purchase of whole
shares of Common Stock at the purchase price in effect for the Participant for
that Purchase Date.

                  C. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share at which
Common Stock will be purchased on the Participant's behalf on each Purchase Date
within the offering period shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of
the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
Participant's Entry Date into that offering period or (ii) the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on that Purchase Date. However, for each Participant
whose Entry Date is other than the start date of the offering period, the clause
(i) amount shall in no event be less than the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the start date of that offering period. The Plan Administrator
shall establish the exact percentage for each offering period prior to the start
date of that period.

                  D. NUMBER OF PURCHASABLE SHARES. The number of shares of
Common Stock purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date during the
offering period shall be the number of whole shares obtained by dividing the
amount collected from the Participant through payroll deductions during the
Purchase Interval ending with that Purchase Date by the purchase price in effect
for the Participant for that Purchase Date. However, the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant on any one Purchase Date
shall not exceed seven hundred fifty (750) shares, subject to periodic
adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization.

                  E. EXCESS PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Any payroll deductions not
applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock on any Purchase Date because
they are not sufficient to purchase a whole share of Common Stock shall be held
for the purchase of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date. However, any payroll
deductions not applied to the purchase of Common Stock by reason of the
limitation on the maximum number of shares purchasable by the Participant on the
Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.




                                       4.
<PAGE>   5
                  F. TERMINATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. The following provisions
shall govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

                                  (i)       A Participant may, at any time prior
         to the next scheduled Purchase Date in the offering period, terminate
         his or her outstanding purchase right by filing the appropriate form
         with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no further payroll
         deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect to the
         terminated purchase right. Any payroll deductions collected during the
         Purchase Interval in which such termination occurs shall be refunded as
         soon as possible.

                                 (ii)       The termination of such purchase
         right shall be irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently
         rejoin the offering period for which the terminated purchase right was
         granted. In order to resume participation in any subsequent offering
         period, such individual must re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely
         filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before his or her
         scheduled Entry Date into that offering period.

                                (iii)       Should the Participant cease to
         remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including death, disability
         or change in status) while his or her purchase right remains
         outstanding, then that purchase right shall immediately terminate, and
         all of the Participant's payroll deductions for the Purchase Interval
         in which the purchase right so terminates shall be immediately
         refunded. However, should the Participant cease to remain in active
         service by reason of an approved unpaid leave of absence, then the
         Participant shall have the right, exercisable up until the last
         business day of the Purchase Interval in which such leave commences, to
         (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions collected to date on his or her
         behalf for that Purchase Interval or (b) have such funds held for the
         purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next scheduled Purchase
         Date. In no event, however, shall any further payroll deductions be
         collected on the Participant's behalf during such leave. Upon the
         Participant's return to active service, his or her payroll deductions
         under the Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the
         time the leave began.

                  G. CORPORATE TRANSACTION. Each outstanding purchase right
shall automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date of any
Corporate Transaction, by applying the payroll deductions of each Participant
for the Purchase Interval in which such Corporate Transaction occurs to the
purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to
eighty-five percent (85%) (or such greater percentage as the Plan Administrator
may have established for the offering period in which the Corporate Transaction
occurs) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on
the Participant's Entry Date into the offering period in which such Corporate
Transaction occurs or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
immediately prior to the effective date of such 




                                       5.
<PAGE>   6
Corporate Transaction. However, the applicable limitation on the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable per Participant shall continue to apply to
any such purchase, and the clause (i) amount above shall not, for any
Participant whose Entry Date for the offering period is other than the start
date of that offering period, be less than the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on that start date.

                  The Corporation shall use its best efforts to provide at least
ten (10)-days prior written notice of the occurrence of any Corporate
Transaction, and Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have
the right to terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective
date of the Corporate Transaction.

                  H. PRORATION OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. Should the total number of
shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase rights
on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for issuance
under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata allocation of the
available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, and the payroll
deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the aggregate
purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such individual, shall
be refunded.

                  I. ASSIGNABILITY. The purchase right shall be exercisable only
by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the
Participant.

                  J. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. A Participant shall have no stockholder
rights with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding purchase
right until the shares are purchased on the Participant's behalf in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a holder of
record of the purchased shares.

     VIII.        ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

                  A. No Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to
acquire Common Stock pursuant to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan
if and to the extent such accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase
Common Stock accrued under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and
(ii) similar rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within
the meaning of Code Section 423) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate,
would otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate
Affiliate (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the
date or dates such rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at
any time outstanding.

                  B. For purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the
purchase rights granted under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in
effect:

                                  (i)       The right to acquire Common Stock
         under each outstanding purchase right shall accrue in a series of
         installments on each 




                                       6.
<PAGE>   7
         successive Purchase Date during the offering period on which such right
         remains outstanding.

                                 (ii)       No right to acquire Common Stock
         under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue to the extent the
         Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the right to
         acquire Common Stock under one (1) or more other purchase rights at a
         rate equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) worth of Common
         Stock (determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on
         the date or dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at
         any time outstanding.

                  C. If by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase
right of a Participant does not accrue for a particular Purchase Interval, then
the payroll deductions which the Participant made during that Purchase Interval
with respect to such purchase right shall be promptly refunded.

                  D. In the event there is any conflict between the provisions
of this Article and one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued
thereunder, the provisions of this Article shall be controlling.

       IX.        EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

                  A. The Plan was adopted by the Board on September 14, 1995 and
subsequently approved by the stockholders in October 1995. The Plan became
effective at the Effective Time.

                  B. On March 18, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized an
increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the
Plan from two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) to five hundred thousand
(500,000) shares, subject to stockholder approval at the 1997 Annual Meeting. No
purchase rights shall be granted under the Plan in reliance on such two hundred
fifty thousand (250,000)-share increase, and no shares of Common Stock shall be
issued on the basis of such increase, unless and until such increase has been
approved by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting.

                  C. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall
terminate upon the earliest of (i) the last business day in January 2005, (ii)
the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have
been sold pursuant to purchase rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date
on which all purchase rights are exercised in connection with a Corporate
Transaction. No further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised, and no
further payroll deductions shall be collected, under the Plan following such
termination.

        X.        AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

                  The Board may alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan at
any time to become effective immediately following the close of any Purchase
Interval. However, the Board may not, without the approval of the Corporation's
stockholders, (i) materially increase the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable under the Plan or the maximum number of shares purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date, except for permissible adjustments in the
event of certain changes in the Corporation's capitalization, (ii) alter the
purchase price formula so as to reduce the purchase price payable for the shares
of Common Stock purchasable under the Plan, or (iii) materially increase the
benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan or materially modify the
requirements for eligibility to participate in the Plan.

         XI.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

                  A. All costs and expenses incurred in the administration of
the Plan shall be paid by the Corporation.

                  B. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any
right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate
for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in
any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such
person) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by
each, to terminate such person's employment at any time for any reason, with or
without cause.

                  C. The provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

         closing selling price per share of Common Stock on the date in question
         on the Stock Exchange determined by the Plan Administrator to be the
         primary market for the Common Stock, as such price is officially quoted
         in the composite tape of transactions on such exchange. If there is no
         closing selling price for the Common Stock on the date in question,
