         1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF PLAN. The purpose of this Secure Computing
Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") is to provide the
employees of Secure Computing Corporation (the "Company") with an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the Company through the purchase of its common
stock and, thus, to develop a stronger incentive to work for the continued
success of the Company. The Plan is intended to be an "employee stock purchase
plan" within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent
with such intent.

         2. DEFINITIONS.

                  2.1. The terms defined in this section are used (and

                  corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" of the Company, as
                  defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code or any
                  successor provision, and whose participation in the Plan has

                  share (as such par value may be adjusted from time to time),

                  (f) "COMPANY" means Secure Computing Corporation.

                  (g) "COMPENSATION" means the gross cash compensation

                  earnings) paid by the Company or any Affiliate to a
                  Participant in accordance with the terms of employment, but
                  excluding any payments under the Company's Group Incentive
                  Plan (GIP).

                  (h) "DISINTERESTED PERSONS" means a member of the Board of
                  Directors who is considered a disinterested person within the

                  definition.

                  (i) "ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE" means any employee of the Company or
                  an Affiliate who has been employed for at least six
                  consecutive months and whose customary employment is at least
                  20 hours per week; provided, however, that "Eligible Employee"
                  shall not include any person who would be deemed, for purposes
                  of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code, to own stock possessing 5%
                  or more of the total combined voting power or value of all
                  classes of stock of the Company.

                  (k) "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of a share of Common Stock as of any
                  date means, if the Company's Common Stock is listed on a
                  national securities exchange or traded in the national market
                  system, the mean between the high and low sale prices for such
                  Common Stock on such exchange or market on said date, or, if
                  no sale has been made on such exchange or market on said date,
                  on the last preceding day on which any sale shall have been
                  made. If such determination of Fair Market Value is not
                  consistent with the then current regulations of the Secretary
                  of the Treasury applicable to plans intended to qualify as an
                  "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of Section
                  423(b) of the Code, however, Fair Market Value shall be
                  determined in accordance with such regulations. The
                  determination of Fair Market Value shall be subject to
                  adjustment as provided in Section 14.

                  (l) "PARTICIPANT" means an Eligible Employee who has elected
                  to participate in the Plan in the manner set forth in Section

                  Stock Purchase Plan, as amended from time to time.

                  (n) "PURCHASE PERIOD" means each quarter of the Company's
                  fiscal year. The first Purchase Period will be the quarter
                  that starts July 1, 1996 and ends September 30, 1996.

                  (o) "RECORDKEEPING ACCOUNT" means the account maintained in
                  the books and records of the Company recording the amount
                  withheld from each Participant through payroll deductions made
                  under the Plan.

         3. SCOPE OF THE PLAN. Shares of Common Stock may be sold by the Company
to Eligible Employees commencing July 1, 1996, as hereinafter provided, but not
more than 400,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 14) shall be sold to Eligible Employees pursuant to this Plan. All sales
of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to the same terms,
conditions, rights and privileges. The shares of Common Stock delivered by the
Company pursuant to this Plan may be acquired shares having the status of any
combination of authorized but unissued shares, newly issued shares, or treasury
shares.

         4. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION. To be eligible to participate in the
Plan for a given Purchase Period, an employee must be an Eligible Employee on
the first day of such Purchase Period. An Eligible Employee may elect to
participate in the Plan by filing an enrollment form with the Company before the
first day of such Purchase Period that authorizes regular payroll deductions
from Compensation beginning with the first payday in such Purchase Period and
continuing until the Eligible Employee withdraws from the Plan, modifies his or
her authorization, or ceases to be an Eligible Employee, as hereinafter
provided.

         5. AMOUNT OF COMMON STOCK EACH ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEE MAY PURCHASE.

                  5.1. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, each Eligible
         Employee shall be offered the right to purchase on the last day of the
         Purchase Period the number of shares of Common Stock (including
         fractional shares) that can be purchased at the price specified in
         Section 5.2 with the entire credit balance in the Participant's
         Recordkeeping Account; provided, however, that the Fair Market Value
         (determined on the first day of any Purchase Period) of shares of
         Common Stock that may be purchased by a Participant during such
         Purchase Period shall not exceed the excess, if any, of (i) $25,000
         over (ii) the Fair Market Value (determined on the first day of the
         relevant Purchase Period) of shares of Common Stock previously acquired
         by the Participant in any prior Purchase Period during such calendar
         year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Eligible Employee shall be
         granted an option to acquire shares of Common Stock under this Plan
         which permits the Eligible Employee's rights to purchase shares of
         Common Stock under this Plan and all employee stock purchase plans of
         the Company and the Affiliates to accrue at a rate which exceeds
         $25,000 of Fair Market Value (determined at the time such option is
         granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at
         any time. If the purchases by all Participants would otherwise cause
         the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be sold under the
         Plan to exceed the number specified in Section 3, however, each
         Participant shall be allocated at a ratable portion of the maximum
         number of shares of Common Stock which may be sold.

                  5.2. The purchase price of each share of Common Stock sold
         pursuant to this Plan will be the lesser of (a) or (b) below:

                  (a) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the first
                  day of the Purchase Period.

                  (b) 85% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the last day
                  of the Purchase Period.

         6. METHOD OF PARTICIPATION.

                  6.1. The Company shall give notice to each Eligible Employee
         of the opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to this
         Plan and the terms and conditions for such offering. Such notice is
         subject to revision by the Company at any time prior to the date of
         purchase of such shares. The Company contemplates that for tax purposes
         the first day of a Purchase Period will be the date of the offering of
         such shares.

                  6.2. Each Eligible Employee who desires to participate in the
         Plan for a Purchase Period shall signify his or her election to do so
         by signing an election form developed by the Committee. An Eligible
         Employee may elect to have any whole percent of Compensation withheld,
         but not exceeding ten percent (10%) per pay period. An election to
         participate in the Plan and to authorize payroll deductions as
         described herein must be made before the first day of the Purchase
         Period to which it relates and shall remain in effect unless and until
         such Participant withdraws from the Plan, modifies his or her
         authorization, or ceases to be an Eligible Employee, as hereinafter
         provided.

                  6.3. Any Eligible Employee who does not make a timely election
         as provided in Section 6.2, shall be deemed to have elected not to
         participate in the Plan. Such election shall be irrevocable for such
         Purchase Period.

         7. RECORDKEEPING ACCOUNT.

                  7.1. The Company shall maintain a Recordkeeping Account for
         each Participant. Payroll deductions pursuant to Section 6 will be
         credited to such Recordkeeping Accounts on each payday.

                  7.2. No interest will be credited to a Participant's
         Recordkeeping Account.

                  7.3. The Recordkeeping Account is established solely for
         accounting purposes, and all amounts credited to the Recordkeeping
         Account will remain part of the general assets of the Company.

                  7.4. A Participant may not make any separate cash payment into
         the Recordkeeping Account.

         8. RIGHT TO ADJUST PARTICIPATION OR TO WITHDRAW.

                  8.1. A Participant may, at any time during a Purchase Period,
         direct the Company to make no further deductions from his or her
         Compensation or to increase or decrease the percentage amount of such
         deductions from future Compensation, subject to the limitation in
         Section 6.2. Upon any such action, future payroll deductions with
         respect to such Participant shall cease or shall be increased or
         decreased in accordance with the Participant's direction.

                  8.2. Any Participant who stops payroll deductions may not
         thereafter resume payroll deductions during such Purchase Period.

                  8.3. At any time before the end of a Purchase Period, any
         Participant may withdraw from the Plan. In such event, all future
         payroll deductions shall cease and the entire credit balance in the
         Participant's Recordkeeping Account will be paid to the Participant,
         without interest, in cash within 15 days. A Participant who withdraws
         from the Plan will not be eligible to reenter the Plan until the next
         succeeding Purchase Period.

                  8.4. Notification of a Participant's election to increase,
         decrease, or terminate deductions, or to withdraw from the Plan, shall
         be made by filing an appropriate form with the Company.

         9. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If the employment of a Participant is
terminated for any reason, including death, disability, or retirement, the
entire balance in the Participant's Recordkeeping Account will be applied to the
purchase of shares as provided in Section 10.1 as of the last day of the
Purchase Period in which the Participant's employment terminated; except that if
such Participant so requests prior to the last day of such Purchase Period, the
Company shall refund in cash within 15 days all amounts credited to his or her
Recordkeeping Account.

         10. PURCHASE OF SHARES.

                  10.1. As of the last day of the Purchase Period, the entire
         credit balance in each Participant's Recordkeeping Account will be used
         to purchase shares (including fractional shares) of Common Stock
         (subject to the limitations of Section 5) unless the Participant has
         filed an appropriate form with the Company in advance of that date
         (which either elects to purchase a specified number of shares which is
         less than the number described above or elects to receive the entire
         credit balance in cash). Any amount in a Participant's Recordkeeping
         Account that is not used to purchase shares pursuant to this Section
         10.1 will be refunded to the Participant.

                  10.2. Shares of Common Stock acquired by each Participant
         shall be held in a general account maintained for the benefit of all
         Participants.

                  10.3. Certificates for the number of whole shares of Common
         Stock, determined as aforesaid, purchased by each Participant shall be
         issued and delivered to him or her only upon the request of the
         Participant or his or her representative. Any such request shall be
         made by filing an appropriate form with the Company. No Certificates
         for fractional shares will be issued. Instead, Participants will
         receive a cash distribution representing any fractional shares.

                  10.4. Dividends with respect to a Participant's shares held in
         the general account will, at the election of the Participant, either be
         paid to the Participant in cash or reinvested in additional shares of
         Common Stock. Any such election shall be made or changed by filing an
         appropriate form with the Company. If a Participant fails to make such
         an election, all dividends with respect to the Participant's shares
         held in the general account will automatically be reinvested to
         purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

                  10.5. Each Participant will be entitled to vote all shares
         held for the benefit of such Participant in the general account.

         11. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. A Participant shall not be entitled to any
of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such
shares, including the right to receive any dividends which may be declared by
the Company, until (i) he or she actually has paid the purchase price for such
shares and (ii) either the shares have been credited to his or her account or
certificates have been issued to him or her, both as provided in Section 10.

         12. RIGHTS NOT TRANSFERABLE. A Participant's rights under this Plan are
exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime, and may not be
sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. Any attempt to sell, pledge, assign or
transfer the same shall be null and void and without effect. The amounts
credited to a Recordkeeping Account may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
hypothecated in any way, and any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge,
hypothecation or other disposition of such amounts will be null and void and
without effect.

         13. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. This Plan shall be administered by the
Committee, which is authorized to make such uniform rules as may be necessary to
carry out its provisions. The Committee shall determine any questions arising in
the administration, interpretation and application of this Plan, and all such
determinations shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.

         14. ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. In the event of any
change in the Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends,
split-ups, corporate separations, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations,
combinations, exchanges of shares and the like, the aggregate number and class
of shares available under this Plan and the number, class and purchase price of
shares available but not yet purchased under this Plan, shall be adjusted
appropriately by the Committee.

         15. REGISTRATION OF CERTIFICATES. Stock certificates will be registered
in the name of the Participant, or jointly in the name of the Participant and
another person, as the Participant may direct on an appropriate form filed with
the Company.

         16. AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board of Directors may at any time amend
this Plan in any respect which shall not adversely affect the rights of
Participants pursuant to shares previously acquired under the Plan, except that,
without stockholder approval on the same basis as required by Section 19.1, no
amendment shall be made (i) to increase the number of shares to be reserved
under this Plan, (ii) to decrease the minimum purchase price, (iii) to withdraw
the administration of this Plan from the Committee, or (iv) to change the
definition of employees eligible to participate in the Plan.

         17. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. This Plan shall consist of an offering
commencing July 1, 1996, and ending September 30, 1996, and continuing on a
quarterly basis thereafter. All rights of Participants in any offering hereunder
shall terminate at the earlier of (i) the day that Participants become entitled
to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than the
number of shares remaining available for purchase or (ii) at any time, at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, after 30 days' notice has been given to
all Participants. Upon termination of this Plan, shares of Common Stock shall be
issued to Participants in accordance with Section 10, and cash, if any,
remaining in the Participants' Recordkeeping Accounts shall be refunded to them,
as if the Plan were terminated at the end of a Purchase Period.

         18. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS AND LISTING. All rights granted or to be
granted to Eligible Employees under this Plan are expressly subject to all
applicable laws and regulations and to the approval of all governmental
authorities required in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale or
transfer of the shares of Common Stock reserved for this Plan, including,
without limitation, there being a current registration statement of the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares of Common
Stock purchasable on the last day of the Purchase Period applicable to such
shares, and if such a registration statement shall not then be effective, the
term of such Purchase Period shall be extended until the first business day
after the effective date of such a registration statement, or post-effective
amendment thereto. If applicable, all such rights hereunder are also similarly
subject to effectiveness of an appropriate listing application to a national
securities exchange or a national market system, covering the shares of Common
Stock under the Plan upon official notice of issuance.

         19. MISCELLANEOUS.

                  19.1. This Plan shall be submitted for approval by the
         stockholders of the Company prior to July 1, 1996. If not so approved
         prior to such date, this Plan shall terminate on July 1, 1996.

                  19.2. This Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract
         of employment between the Company and any Participant, nor shall it
         interfere with the right of the Company to terminate any Participant
         and treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment
         might have upon him or her under this Plan.

                  19.3. Wherever appropriate as used herein, the masculine
         gender may be read as the feminine gender, the feminine gender may be
         read as the masculine gender, the singular may be read as the plural
         and the plural may be read as the singular.

                  19.4. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be
         construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
         Minnesota.

                  19.5. Delivery of shares of Common Stock or of cash pursuant
         to the Plan shall be subject to any required withholding taxes. A
         person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock may, as a condition
         precedent to receiving such shares, be required to pay the Company a
         cash amount equal to the amount of any required withholdings.



                                                                       EXHIBIT 5
