Item 4.  Description of Securities

        Not Applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

        Not Applicable.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.


<PAGE>   3
        Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in
any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim
issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

        Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of
a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of
any such action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 145 or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith; that the indemnification provided for
by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which the
indemnified party may be entitled; that indemnification provided by Section 145
shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators; and
empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a
director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him
against such liabilities under Section 145.

        Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law or the State of
Delaware provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of the director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Article Eleventh of the Registrant's Charter provides that, to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same
exists or as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the Registrant shall be
personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

        Section 6.1 of the Registrant's Bylaws further provides that the
Registrant shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the
General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its directors and
officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection
with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an
agent of the Registrant.

        The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of
its directors and officers.

Statement No. 333-03703 on Form S-8, filed with the SEC on May 14, 1996.


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 1995
Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan or the Intertrans Logistics Solutions Limited
1997 Stock Incentive 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) 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.

                1995 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN (As Amended
                      and Restated through April 13, 1998)

                                   ARTICLE ONE

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS


        I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

               This 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote
the interests of i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing
eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or
otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an
incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation.

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

        II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

               A. The Plan shall be divided into three separate equity programs:

                           (i) the Discretionary Option Grant Program under
        which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator,
        be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock,

                          (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible
        persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued
        shares of Common Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase
        of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or
        any Parent or Subsidiary), and

                         (iii) the Automatic Option Grant Program under which
        Eligible Directors shall automatically receive option grants at periodic
        intervals to purchase shares of Common Stock.

               B. The provisions of Articles One and Five shall apply to all
equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all
persons under the Plan.

        III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

               A. The Board shall have the authority to administer the
Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs but may delegate such
authority in whole or in part to the Committee.


<PAGE>   3
               B. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time
as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time. The
Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume
all powers and authority previously delegated to such Committee.

               C. The Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject
to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may
deem appropriate for proper administration of the Discretionary Option Grant and
Stock Issuance Programs and to make such determinations under, and issue such
interpretations of, the provisions of such programs and any outstanding options
or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions
of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under
the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the
Discretionary Option Grant or Stock Issuance Program under its jurisdiction or
any option or stock issuance thereunder.

               D. Service on the Committee shall constitute service as a Board
member, and members of the Committee shall accordingly be entitled to full
indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such
committee. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission
made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option grants or stock
issuances under the Plan.

               E. Administration of the Automatic Option Grant Program shall be
self-executing in accordance with the terms of that program, and the Plan
Administrator shall exercise no discretionary functions with respect to option
grants made thereunder.

     IV.       ELIGIBILITY

               A. The persons eligible to participate in the Discretionary
Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs are as follows:

                           (i)Employees,

                          (ii) non-employee members of the Board (or the board
        of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary), and

                         (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who
        provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

               B. The Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its
administrative jurisdiction under the Plan, have full authority to determine,
(i) with respect to the option grants under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program, which eligible persons are to receive option grants, the time or times
when such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by
each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option
or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times at which each option is to become
exercisable, the


                                       2.


<PAGE>   4
vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term
for which the option is to remain outstanding and (ii) with respect to stock
issuances under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible persons are to
receive stock issuances, the time or times when such issuances are to be made,
the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if
any) applicable to the issued shares and the consideration to be paid for such
shares.

               C. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion
either to grant options in accordance with the Discretionary Option Grant
Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance
Program.

               D. The individuals eligible to participate in the Automatic
Option Grant Program shall be (i) those individuals who are serving as
non-employee Board members on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date
or who are first elected or appointed as non-employee Board members after such
date, whether through appointment by the Board or election by the Corporation's
stockholders, and (ii) those individuals who continue to serve as non-employee
Board members after one or more Annual Stockholders Meetings held after the
Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date.

        V. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

               A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of
authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased
by the Corporation 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 15,500,000
shares. Such authorized share reserve is comprised of (i) the number of shares
which remained available for issuance, as of the Plan Effective Date, under the
Predecessor Plan as last approved by the Corporation's stockholders prior to
such date, including the shares subject to the outstanding options incorporated
into the Plan and any other shares which would have been available for future
option grants under the Predecessor Plan, (ii) an increase of 801,576 shares
authorized by the Board and approved by the stockholders prior to the Plan
Effective Date, (iii) an increase of 2,000,000 shares authorized by the Board
and approved by the stockholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting, plus (iv) an
additional increase of 3,500,000 shares approved by the Board on July 1, 1997,
subject to approval by the stockholders at the 1998 Annual Meeting.

               B. No one person participating in the Plan may receive options,
separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock issuances for
more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate per calendar year,
beginning with the 1996 calendar year.

               C. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be
available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options
(including any options incorporated from the Predecessor Plan) expire or
terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are
cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two.
Unvested shares issued under the Plan (including unvested shares issued under
the Predecessor Plan) and subsequently repurchased by the Corporation, at the
original exercise or


                                       3.


<PAGE>   5
issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation's repurchase rights
under the Plan, shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for
reissuance through one or more subsequent options or direct stock issuances
under the Plan. Shares subject to any stock appreciation rights exercised under
the Plan shall reduce on a share-for-share basis the number of shares of Common
Stock available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. In addition, should the
exercise price of an option under the Plan (including any option incorporated
from the Predecessor Plan) be paid with shares of Common Stock or should shares
of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan be withheld by the Corporation
in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the
exercise of an option or the vesting of a stock issuance under the Plan, then
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall
be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised or
which vest under the stock issuance, and not by the net number of shares of
Common Stock issued to the holder of such option or stock issuance.

               D. 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/or class of securities issuable
under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities for which any one
person may be granted options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights
and direct stock issuances per calendar year, (iii) the number and/or class of
securities for which automatic option grants are to be subsequently made per
Eligible Director under the Automatic Option Grant Program and (iv) the number
and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each
outstanding option (including any option incorporated from the Predecessor Plan)
in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The
adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and
conclusive.


                                       4.

                       DISCRETIONARY OPTION GRANT PROGRAM


        I. OPTION TERMS

               Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the
form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such
document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing
an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan
applicable to such options.

               A. Exercise Price.

                      1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

                      2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon
exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of
Article Five and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in one or more
of the forms specified below:

                           (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation,

                          (ii) shares of Common Stock held for the requisite
        period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for
        financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the
        Exercise Date, or

                         (iii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
        shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to
        which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable written
        instructions to (a) a Corporation- designated brokerage firm to effect
        the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation,
        out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient
        funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased
        shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and
        employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of
        such exercise and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for
        the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to
        complete the sale transaction.

               Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on
the Exercise Date.


                                       5.


<PAGE>   7
               B. Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable
at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall
be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents
evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten
(10) years measured from the option grant date.

               C. Effect of Termination of Service.

                      1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of
any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death:

                           (i) Any option outstanding at the time of the
        Optionee's cessation of Service for any reason shall remain exercisable
        for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan
        Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option, but
        no such option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option
        term.

                          (ii) Any option exercisable in whole or in part by the
        Optionee at the time of death may be subsequently exercised by the
        personal representative of the Optionee's estate or by the person or
        persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's
        will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.

                         (iii) During the applicable post-Service exercise
        period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than
        the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the
        date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the
        applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the
        option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for
        any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However,
        the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Service,
        terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent it is not
        exercisable for vested shares on the date of such cessation of Service.

                          (iv) Should the Optionee's Service be terminated for
        Misconduct, then all outstanding options held by the Optionee shall
        terminate immediately and cease to be outstanding.

                           (v) In the event of an Involuntary Termination
        following a Corporate Transaction, the provisions of Section III of this
        Article Two shall govern the period for which the outstanding options
        are to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service
        and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in this section.

                      2. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion,
exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the
option remains outstanding, to:


                                       6.


<PAGE>   8
                           (i) extend the period of time for which the option is
        to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service from
        the period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of
        time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event
        beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or

                          (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the
        applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the
        number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is
        exercisable at the time of the Optionee's cessation of Service but also
        with respect to one or more additional installments in which the
        Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued
        in Service.

               D. Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such
person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.

               E. Repurchase Rights. The Plan Administrator shall have the
discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common
Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the
Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per
share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase
right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and
the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established
by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such
repurchase right.

               F. Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the
Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be
assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution following the Optionee's death. Non-Statutory Options may, to the
extent permitted by the Plan Administrator, be assigned in whole or in part
during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's
immediate family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such
family members. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same
as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall
be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator
may deem appropriate.

        II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS

               The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive
Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the
provisions of Articles One, Two and Five shall be applicable to Incentive
Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non- Statutory Options
when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.

               A. Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to
Employees.


                                       7.


<PAGE>   9
               B. Exercise Price. The exercise price per share shall not be less
than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the option grant date.

               C. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the
shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant)
for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any
other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the
first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar
year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the
extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable
for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

               D. 10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option
is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five
(5) years measured from the option grant date.

        III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

               A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding
option shall automatically accelerate so that each such option shall,
immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become
fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
such option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested
shares of Common Stock. However, an outstanding option shall NOT so accelerate
if and to the extent: (i) such option is, in connection with the Corporate
Transaction, either to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent
thereof) or to be replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the
capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) such option
is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation
which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of
the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with
the same vesting schedule applicable to such option or (iii) the acceleration of
such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at
the time of the option grant. The determination of option comparability under
clause (i) above shall be made by the Plan Administrator, and its determination
shall be final, binding and conclusive.

               B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate
automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights
shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction,
except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate
Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations
imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.


                                       8.


<PAGE>   10
               C. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction, all outstanding options shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof).

               D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate
Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had
the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of
securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of
such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under
each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such
securities shall remain the same.

               E. Any options which are assumed or replaced in the Corporate
Transaction and do not otherwise accelerate at that time shall automatically
accelerate (and any of the Corporation's outstanding repurchase rights which do
not otherwise terminate at the time of the Corporate Transaction shall
automatically terminate and the shares of Common Stock subject to those
terminated rights shall immediately vest in full) in the event the Optionee's
Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination
within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of such Corporate
Transaction. Any options so accelerated shall remain exercisable for
fully-vested shares until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the option term
or (ii) the expiration of the one (1)-year period measured from the effective
date of the Involuntary Termination.

               F. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable
either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains
outstanding, to (i) provide for the automatic acceleration of one or more
outstanding options (and the automatic termination of one or more outstanding
repurchase rights with the immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock
subject to those rights) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or (ii)
condition any such option acceleration (and the termination of any outstanding
repurchase rights) upon the subsequent Involuntary Termination of the Optionee's
Service within a specified period following the effective date of such Change in
Control. Any options accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall
remain fully exercisable until the expiration or sooner termination of the
option term.

               G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection
with a Corporate Transaction or Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an
Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar
limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded,
the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory
Option under the Federal tax laws.

               H. The grant of options under the Discretionary Option Grant
Program shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust,
reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change


                                       9.


<PAGE>   11
its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate
or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

        IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

               The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any
time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the
cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Discretionary Option
Grant Program (including outstanding options incorporated from the Predecessor
Plan) and to grant in substitution new options covering the same or different
number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

        V. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

               A. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to
grant to selected Optionees tandem stock appreciation rights and/or limited
stock appreciation rights.

               B. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of
tandem stock appreciation rights:

                           (i) One or more Optionees may be granted the right,
        exercisable upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may establish, to
        elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of Common
        Stock and the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution
        from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Fair
        Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number of shares in
        which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option
        (or surrendered portion thereof) over (B) the aggregate exercise price
        payable for such shares.

                          (ii) No such option surrender shall be effective
        unless it is approved by the Plan Administrator. If the surrender is so
        approved, then the distribution to which the Optionee shall be entitled
        may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the
        option surrender date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash,
        as the Plan Administrator shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

                         (iii) If the surrender of an option is rejected by the
        Plan Administrator, then the Optionee shall retain whatever rights the
        Optionee had under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion
        thereof) on the option surrender date and may exercise such rights at
        any time prior to the later of (A) five (5) business days after the
        receipt of the rejection notice or (B) the last day on which the option
        is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the documents
        evidencing such option, but in no event may such rights be exercised
        more than ten (10) years after the option grant date.


                                       10.


<PAGE>   12
               C. The following terms shall govern the grant and exercise of
limited stock appreciation rights:

                           (i) One or more Section 16 Insiders may be granted
        limited stock appreciation rights with respect to their outstanding
        options.

                          (ii) Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, each
        such individual holding one or more options with such a limited stock
        appreciation right shall have the unconditional right (exercisable for a
        thirty (30)-day period following such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender
        each such option to the Corporation, to the extent the option is at the
        time exercisable for vested shares of Common Stock. In return for the
        surrendered option, the Optionee shall receive a cash distribution from
        the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Take-Over
        Price of the shares of Common Stock which are at the time vested under
        each surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (B) the
        aggregate exercise price payable for such shares. Such cash distribution
        shall be paid within five (5) days following the option surrender date.

                         (iii) Neither the approval of the Plan Administrator
        nor the consent of the Board shall be required in connection with such
        option surrender and cash distribution.

                          (iv) The balance of the option (if any) shall continue
        in full force and effect in accordance with the documents evidencing
        such option.


                                       11.

                             STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM


        I. STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

               Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance
Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option
grants. Each such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance
Agreement which complies with the terms specified below.

               A. Purchase Price

                      1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan
Administrator, but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the stock issuance date.

                      2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Five,
shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for one or
both of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may
deem appropriate in each individual instance:

                           (i)cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or

                          (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any
        Parent or Subsidiary).

               B. Vesting Provisions

                      1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance
Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and
immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over
the Participant's period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested
shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program, namely:

                          (i) the Service period to be completed by the
        Participant or the performance objectives to be attained,

                          (ii)the number of installments in which the shares are
        to vest,


                                       12.


<PAGE>   14
                          (iii) the interval or intervals (if any) which are to
        lapse between installments, and

                          (iv) the effect which death, Permanent Disability or
        other event designated by the Plan Administrator is to have upon the
        vesting schedule,

shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Stock
Issuance Agreement.

                      2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other
property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the
Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant's
unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
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 shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting
requirements applicable to the Participant's unvested shares of Common Stock and
(ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.

                      3. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with
respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock
Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant's interest in those shares is
vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares
and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

                      4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while
holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock
Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with
respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares
shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the
Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those
shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the
Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the
Participant's purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the
Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall
cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase- money note of
the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares.

                      5. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the
surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or
other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the
cessation of the Participant's Service or the non- completion of the vesting
schedule applicable to such shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate
vesting of the Participant's interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which
the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or
after the Participant's cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment
of the applicable performance objectives.

<PAGE>   15
        II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL

               A. All of the outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock
Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common
Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the
event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent (i) those repurchase
rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in
connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is
precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.

               B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable
either at the time the unvested shares are issued or at any time while the
Corporation's repurchase right remains outstanding, to provide for the automatic
termination of one or more outstanding repurchase rights, and the immediate
vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those rights, upon the
occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those repurchase rights
are assigned in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

               C. Any repurchase rights that are assigned in the Corporate
Transaction shall automatically terminate, and all the shares of Common Stock
subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event
the Optionee's Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary
Termination within eighteen (18) months following the effective date of such
Corporate Transaction.

               D. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable
either at the time the unvested shares are issued or at any time while the
Corporation's repurchase right remains outstanding, to (i) provide for the
automatic termination of one or more outstanding repurchase rights and the
immediate vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to those rights upon the
occurrence of a Change in Control or (ii) condition any such accelerated vesting
upon the subsequent Involuntary Termination of the Participant's Service within
a specified period following the effective date of such Change in Control.

        III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

               Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator's discretion, be
held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant's interest in such
shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive
legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

                         AUTOMATIC OPTION GRANT PROGRAM


        I. OPTION TERMS

               A. GRANT DATES. Option grants shall be made on the dates
specified below:

                      1. Each Eligible Director who is a non-employee Board
member on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date and each Eligible
Director who is first elected or appointed as a non-employee Board member after
such date shall automatically be granted, on the Automatic Option Grant Program
Effective Date or on the date of such initial election or appointment (as the
case may be), a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock.

                      2. On the date of each Annual Stockholders Meeting,
beginning with the first Annual Meeting held after the Section 12(g)
Registration Date, each individual who is to continue to serve as an Eligible
Director after such meeting, shall automatically be granted, whether or not such
individual is standing for re-election as a Board member at that Annual Meeting,
a Non-Statutory Option to purchase an additional 1,000 shares of Common Stock,
provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least
six (6) months prior to the date of such Annual Meeting. There shall be no limit
on the number of such annual 1,000-share option grants any one Eligible Director
may receive over his or her period of Board service.

               B. EXERCISE PRICE.

                      1. The exercise price per share shall be equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the
option grant date.

                      2. The exercise price shall be payable in one or more of
the alternative forms authorized under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.
Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure specified thereunder is
utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on
the Exercise Date.

               C. OPTION TERM. Each option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the option grant date.

               D. EXERCISE AND VESTING OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be
immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. However, any shares
purchased under the option shall be subject to repurchase by the Corporation, at
the exercise price paid per share, upon the Optionee's cessation of Board
service prior to vesting in those shares. Each option grant, whether


                                       15.


<PAGE>   17
an initial or an annual grant, shall vest, and the Corporation's repurchase
right shall lapse, in a series of four (4) equal and successive annual
installments over the Optionee's period of continued service as a Board member,
with the first such installment to vest upon the Optionee's completion of one
(1) year of Board service measured from the option grant date.

               E. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF BOARD SERVICE. The following
provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the
time the Optionee ceases to serve as a Board member:

                      (i) The Optionee (or, in the event of Optionee's death,
        the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or
        persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's
        will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution) shall
        have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of such cessation of
        Board service in which to exercise each such option.


                      (ii) During the twelve (12)-month exercise period, the
        option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of
        vested shares of Common Stock for which the option is exercisable at the
        time of the Optionee's cessation of Board service.

                      (iii) Should the Optionee cease to serve as a Board member
        by reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all shares at the time
        subject to the option shall immediately vest so that such option may,
        during the twelve (12)- month exercise period following such cessation
        of Board service, be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as
        fully-vested shares of Common Stock.

                      (iv) In no event shall the option remain exercisable after
        the expiration of the option term. Upon the expiration of the twelve
        (12)-month exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the
        option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for
        any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However,
        the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Board
        service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent it is not
        exercisable for vested shares on the date of such cessation of Board
        service.

        II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION/CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER

               A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise
vested shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall,
immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become
fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to
such option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as
fully-vested shares


                                       16.


<PAGE>   18
of Common Stock. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate
Transaction, each automatic option grant shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof).

               B. In connection with any Change in Control, the shares of Common
Stock at the time subject to each outstanding option but not otherwise vested
shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately
prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become fully exercisable
for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such option and may
be exercised for all or any portion of such shares as fully-vested shares of
Common Stock. Each such option shall remain exercisable for such fully-vested
option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term or
the surrender of the option in connection with a Hostile Take-Over.

               C. Upon the occurrence of a Hostile Take-Over, the Optionee shall
have a thirty (30)-day period in which to surrender to the Corporation each of
his or her outstanding automatic options. The Optionee shall in return be
entitled to a cash distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the
excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the shares of Common Stock at the time
subject to the surrendered option (whether or not the Optionee is otherwise at
the time vested in those shares) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable
for such shares. Such cash distribution shall be paid within five (5) days
following the surrender of the option to the Corporation. No approval or consent
of the Board shall be required in connection with such option surrender and cash
distribution.

               D. The grant of options under the Automatic Option Grant Program
shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify,
reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets.

        III. REMAINING TERMS

               The remaining terms of each option granted under the Automatic
Option Grant Program shall be the same as the terms in effect for option grants
made under the Discretionary Option Grant Program.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS


        I. FINANCING

               A. The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant
to pay the option exercise price under the Discretionary Option Grant Program or
the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by
delivering a promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms of
any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of
repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion. Promissory notes may be authorized with or without security or
collateral. In all events, the maximum credit available to the Optionee or
Participant may not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or
purchase price payable for the purchased shares plus (ii) any Federal, state and
local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the
Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase.

               B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, determine that
one or more such promissory notes shall be subject to forgiveness by the
Corporation in whole or in part upon such terms as the Plan Administrator may
deem appropriate.

        II. TAX WITHHOLDING

               A. The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or upon the issuance
or vesting of such shares under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of
all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
requirements.

               B. The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, provide any or
all holders of Non-Statutory Options or unvested shares of Common Stock under
the Plan (other than the options granted or the shares issued under the
Automatic Option Grant Program) with the right to use shares of Common Stock in
satisfaction of all or part of the Taxes incurred by such holders in connection
with the exercise of their options or the vesting of their shares. Such right
may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:

                      (i) Stock Withholding: The election to have the
        Corporation withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
        upon the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option or the vesting of such

        vesting triggering the Taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal
        to the percentage of the Taxes (not to exceed one hundred percent
        (100%)) designated by the holder.

        III. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

               A. The Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs
became effective on the Plan Effective Date. The Automatic Option Grant Program
became effective on the Automatic Option Grant Program Effective Date, and the
initial options under the Automatic Option Grant Program were made to the
Eligible Directors at that time. The Plan was approved by the Corporation's
stockholders in September 1995.

               On May 11, 1996, the Board adopted an amendment (the "1996
Amendment") which (i) imposed a maximum limit, for purposes of Section 162(m) of
the Code, on the number of shares for which any one person may be granted
options, separately exercisable stock appreciation rights and direct stock
issuances per calendar year under the Plan and (ii) increased the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan by an additional 2,000,000
shares. The 1996 Amendment became effective immediately upon adoption by the
Board and was approved by the Corporation's stockholders at the 1997 Annual
Meeting.

               On July 1, 1997, the board amended the Plan to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan by
3,500,000 shares, subject to stockholder approval at the 1998 Annual
Stockholders Meeting.

               The Plan was amended and restated on April 13, 1998 to effect the
following changes: (i) render the non-employee Board members who serve as the
Plan Administrator eligible to receive option grants and direct stock issuances
under the Discretionary Option Grant and Stock Issuance Programs, (ii) eliminate
certain restrictions on the eligibility of non-employee Board members to serve
as Plan Administrator, (iii) allow shares issued under the Plan and subsequently
reacquired by the Corporation to be added back to the share reserve available
for future issuance under the Plan and (iv) effect a series of technical changes
to the provisions of the Plan (including the stockholder approval requirements)
in order to take advantage of the amendments to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission which exempt certain officer and director transactions under
the Plan from the short-swing liability provisions of the Federal securities
laws. If such stockholder approval is not obtained at the 1998 Annual Meeting,
then (i) any options previously granted on the basis of the 3,500,000-share
increase shall terminate, and no further options based on such increase shall be
granted, (ii) non-employee Board members who serve as the Plan Administrator
shall not be eligible to receive option grants or direct stock issuances under
the Discretionary Option Grant or Stock Issuance Programs and (iii) shares of
Common Stock reacquired by the Corporation shall not be added back to the
reserve available for issuance under the Plan. Those options granted under the
Plan which are


                                       19.


<PAGE>   21
not based on such increase shall remain outstanding in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the respective agreements evidencing such options, whether or
not the requisite stockholder approval of the share increase is obtained.
Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Plan Administrator may grant options
under the Plan at any time before the date fixed herein for termination of the
Plan.

               B. The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plan,
and no further option grants shall be made under the Predecessor Plan after the
Plan Effective Date. All options outstanding under the Predecessor Plan as of
such date shall, immediately upon approval of the Plan by the Corporations's
stockholders, be incorporated into the Plan and treated as outstanding options
under the Plan. However, each outstanding option so incorporated shall continue
to be governed solely by the terms of the documents evidencing such option, and
no provision of the Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the
rights or obligations of the holders of such incorporated options with respect
to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock.

               C. One or more provisions of the Plan, including (without
limitation) the option/vesting acceleration provisions of Article Two relating
to Corporate Transactions and Changes in Control, may, in the Plan
Administrator's discretion, be extended to one or more options incorporated from
the Predecessor Plan which do not otherwise contain such provisions.

               D. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) September
20, 2005, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the
Plan shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise of the options or the
issuance of shares (whether vested or unvested) under the Plan or (iii) the
termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate
Transaction. Upon such Plan termination, all options and unvested stock
issuances outstanding on such date shall thereafter continue to have force and
effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing such
options or issuances.

        IV. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

               A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and
authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such
amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with
respect to options, stock appreciation rights or unvested stock issuances at the
time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents
to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require
stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws or regulations.

               B. Options to purchase shares of Common Stock may be granted
under the Discretionary Option Grant Program and shares of Common Stock may be
issued under the Stock Issuance Program that are in each instance in excess of
the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any
excess shares actually issued under those programs are held in escrow until
there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing
the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If
such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the
date the first such excess


                                       20.


<PAGE>   22
issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of
such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the
Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the
exercise or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and
held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal
Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall
thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

        V. USE OF PROCEEDS

               Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of
shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate
purposes.

        VI. REGULATORY APPROVALS

               The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any option or
stock appreciation right under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common
Stock (i) upon the exercise of any option or stock appreciation right or (ii)
under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the Corporation's
procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities
having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options and stock appreciation rights
granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. No shares
of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan
unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable
requirements of Federal and state securities laws and any applicable listing
requirements of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if
applicable) on which Common Stock is then listed for trading.

        VII. NO EMPLOYMENT/SERVICE RIGHTS

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

of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent
advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

        B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a
Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is
intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the
Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee.

        C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

               NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

               1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as

               2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5 or 6.

               3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of

Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is designated a

with Optionee's estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's
lifetime to one or more members of Optionee's immediate family or to a trust
established for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family members. The
assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire

<PAGE>   3
               4. DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall be immediately
exercisable for the Option Shares in one installment as specified in the Grant
Notice. The option shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date or sooner

               5. CESSATION OF SERVICE.

                      (a) The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall
terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

                      (i) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any
        reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while this option is
        outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months
        (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
        exercise this option provided Optionee satisfies the Non-Compete
        Covenant during such twelve (12)-month period. In no event shall this
        option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

                      (ii) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding,
        then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or
        persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or
        in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the
        right to exercise this option. Such right shall lapse and this option
        shall cease to be outstanding upon the earlier of (A) the expiration of
        the twelve (12)- month period measured from the date of Optionee's death
        or (B) the Expiration Date.

                      (iii) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent
        Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a
        period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation
        of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this
        option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

                      (iv) During the limited period of post-Service
        exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for
        more than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is
        exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the
        expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
        Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be
        outstanding.

                      (v) This option shall terminate immediately upon breach by
        Optionee of the Non-Compete Covenant.

                      (vi) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the
        provisions of Paragraph 6 shall govern the period for which this option
        is to remain exercisable following Optionee's Involuntary Termination of
        Service and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in this
        paragraph.

                      (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
should Optionee's Service be terminated for Misconduct, then this option shall
terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

               6. SPECIAL ACCELERATION OF OPTION.

                      (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, all the
Option Shares at the time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall
automatically vest and the Corporation's repurchase rights with respect to those
shares shall immediately terminate so that this option shall, immediately prior
to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for any
or all of the Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. No such
accelerated vesting of the Option Shares, however, shall occur if and to the
extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, either
to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or to be replaced
with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the
successor corporation (or parent thereof), and the Corporation's repurchase
rights with respect to any Option Shares which are unvested immediately prior to
the Corporate Transaction are to be assigned to such successor corporation (or
parent thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive
program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the
unvested Option Shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction (the excess of
the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares over the Exercise Price payable for
such shares) and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same
vesting schedule applicable to those Option Shares as set forth in the Grant
Notice.

                      (b) Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this
option, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate and cease to be
outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or
parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction.

                      (c) If this option is assumed in connection with a
Corporate Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted,
immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class
of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such
Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such
Corporate Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the
Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

                      (d) Upon an Involuntary Termination of Optionee's Service
within eighteen (18) months following a Corporate Transaction in which this
option is assumed or replaced and the Corporation's repurchase rights with
respect to the unvested Option Shares are


                                       3.


<PAGE>   5
assigned, all the Option Shares at the time subject to this option but not
otherwise vested shall automatically vest and the Corporation's repurchase
rights with respect to those shares shall terminate so that this option shall
immediately become exercisable for all such Option Shares as fully-vested shares
of Common Stock and may be exercised for any or all of those shares at any time
prior to the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the expiration of the
twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of the Involuntary Termination.

                      (e) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right
of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

               7. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. 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 total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

               8. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have
any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

               9. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                      (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all
or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time
exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option)
must take the following actions:

                      (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase
        Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

                      (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
        shares in one or more of the following forms:

                          (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

                          (B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but
        only to the extent approved by the Plan Administrator in accordance with
        Paragraph 14;


                                       4.


<PAGE>   6
                      Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12(g)
        of the 1934 Act at the time this option is exercised, then the Exercise
        Price may also be paid as follows:

                          (C) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any
        other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period
        necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial
        reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date;
        or

                          (D) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
        Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant
        to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option)
        shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (I) to a
        Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of
        the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale
        proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
        aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all
        applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required
        to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (II) to
        the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares
        directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale
        transaction.

                      Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is
        utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise
        Price must accompany the Purchase Agreement delivered to the Corporation
        in connection with the option exercise.

                      (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
        that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than
        Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

                      (iv) Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written
        representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it
        to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and State
        securities laws.

                      (v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or
        Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the
        satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax
        withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.


                                       5.


<PAGE>   7
                      (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the
Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or
persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

                      (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any
fractional shares.

               10. NON-COMPETITION.

                      (a) In consideration for the extended period of
post-Service exercisability, Optionee agrees that, for a period of twelve (12)
months from the date of cessation of Service, Optionee shall not provide any
services (whether as an employee, agent, consultant, advisor or independent
contractor or in any other capacity directly or indirectly) to any Competitor in
a position that has substantially the same functions and/or responsibilities as
the position occupied by Optionee at the time of Optionee's cessation of
Service. For purposes of this covenant, a Competitor shall mean any corporation,
partnership or other entity which (i) is doing business in the country in which
Optionee was employed by the Corporation at the time of Optionee's cessation of
Service and (ii) is engaged in a business or has one or more product lines
competitive with the Corporation.

                      (b) If any restriction set forth in subparagraph 10(a)
above is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, then
Optionee agrees, and hereby submits, to the reduction and limitation of such
restriction to such geographic area, range of activities or period as may be
enforceable.

                      (c) Optionee acknowledges that monetary damages may not be
sufficient to compensate the Corporation for any economic loss which may be
incurred by reason of Optionee's breach of the foregoing covenants. Accordingly,
in the event of any such breach, the Corporation shall, in addition to
termination of this option and any remedies available to the Corporation at law,
be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of an injunction precluding
Optionee from continuing such breach.

               11. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. ALL OPTION SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE
EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION
AND ITS ASSIGNS TO REPURCHASE THOSE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS
SPECIFIED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

               12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

                      (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the
Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the
Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating
thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq
National Market if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for
trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.


                                       6.


<PAGE>   8
                      (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval
from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this
option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the
non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not
have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to
obtain all such approvals.

               13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs
and legatees of Optionee's estate.

               14. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

               15. FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute
discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the
Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a full-recourse
promissory note payable to the Corporation. The terms of any such promissory
note (including the interest rate, the requirements for collateral and the terms
of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole
discretion.

               16. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby
are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

               17. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
TEXAS without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

               18. EXCESS SHARES. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement
exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may
without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be
void with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

               19. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO AN INCENTIVE OPTION. In the
event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the
following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant:

                      (i) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax
        treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is
        exercised for one or more Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months
        after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other
        than death or Permanent Disability or (B) more than twelve (12) months
        after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent
        Disability.

                      (ii) This option shall not become exercisable in the
        calendar year in which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair
        Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for
        which this option would otherwise first become exercisable in such
        calendar year would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of
        the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock and any other
        securities for which one or more other Incentive Options granted to
        Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other
        option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become
        exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand
        Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of
        this option is deferred by reason of the foregoing limitation, the
        deferred portion shall become exercisable in the first calendar year or
        years thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000)
        limitation of this Paragraph 18(ii) would not be contravened, but such
        deferral shall in all events end immediately prior to the effective date
        of a Corporate Transaction in which this option is not to be assumed,
        whereupon the option shall become immediately exercisable as a Non-
        Statutory Option for the deferred portion of the Option Shares.

                      (iii) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option,
        one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become
        exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option,
        then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as
        Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which
        such options are granted.

               20. SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement is severable
from the others, and if any provision hereof shall be to any extent
unenforceable it and the other provisions hereof shall continue to be
enforceable to the full extent allowable, as if such offending provision had not
been a part of this Agreement.

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                        AUTOMATIC STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT



RECITALS

        A. The Corporation has implemented an automatic option grant program
under the Plan pursuant to which eligible non-employee members of the Board will
automatically receive special option grants at periodic intervals over their
period of Board service in order to provide such individuals with a meaningful
incentive to continue to serve as members of the Board.

        B. Optionee is an eligible non-employee Board member, and this Agreement
is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan
in connection with the automatic grant of an option to purchase shares of Common
Stock under the Plan.

        C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

               NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

               1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as
of the Grant Date, a Non-Statutory Option to purchase up to the number of Option
Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable
from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the
Exercise Price.

               2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5, 6 or 7.

               3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option may, in connection with
the Optionee's estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's
lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee's immediate family or to a trust
established for the exclusive benefit of one or more such family members. The
assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire
a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this
option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such
documents issued to the assignee as the Corporation may deem appropriate. Should
the Optionee die while holding this option, then this option shall be
transferred in accordance with Optionee's will or the laws of descent and
distribution.


<PAGE>   3
               4. EXERCISABILITY/VESTING.

                      (a) This option shall be immediately exercisable for any
or all of the Option Shares, whether or not the Option Shares are vested in
accordance with the Vesting Schedule and shall remain so exercisable until the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5, 6 or
7.

                      (b) Optionee shall, in accordance with the Vesting
Schedule, vest in the Option Shares in one or more installments over his or her
period of Board service. Vesting in the Option Shares may be accelerated
pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5, 6 or 7. In no event, however, shall
any additional Option Shares vest following Optionee's cessation of service as a
Board member.

               5. CESSATION OF BOARD SERVICE. Should Optionee's service as a
Board member cease while this option remains outstanding, then the option term
specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be
outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with the following
provisions:

                      (a) Should Optionee cease to serve as a Board member for
any reason (other than death or Permanent Disability) while holding this option,
then the period for exercising this option shall be reduced to a twelve
(12)-month period (commencing with the date of such cessation of Board service),
but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the
Expiration Date. During such limited period of exercisability, this option may
not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares (if
any) in which Optionee is vested on the date Optionee ceases service as a Board
member. Upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of such twelve (12)-month period
or (ii) the specified Expiration Date, the option shall terminate and cease to
be exercisable with respect to any vested Option Shares for which the option has
not been exercised.

                      (b) Should Optionee cease service as a Board member by
reason of death or Permanent Disability, then all Option Shares at the time
subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall vest in full so that
Optionee (or the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or
persons to whom the option is transferred upon Optionee's death) shall have the
right to exercise this option for any or all of the Option Shares as
fully-vested shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee's
cessation of Board service or (ii) the specified Expiration Date.

                      (c) Upon Optionee's cessation of Board service for any
reason other than death or Permanent Disability, this option shall immediately
terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any and all Option Shares
in which Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested in accordance with the
normal Vesting Schedule or the special vesting acceleration provisions of
Paragraph 6 or 7 below.


                                       2.


<PAGE>   4
                      (d) In the event of a Corporate Transaction or Change in
Control, the provisions of Paragraph 6 or 7 shall govern the period for which
this option is to remain exercisable following Optionee's cessation of Board
service and shall supersede any provisions to the contrary in this paragraph.

               6. CORPORATE TRANSACTION.

                      (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, all Option
Shares at the time subject to this option but not otherwise vested shall
automatically vest so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective
date of such Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for any or all of the
Option Shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. Immediately following the
Corporate Transaction, this option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable
except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in
connection with such Corporate Transaction.

                      (b) If this option is assumed in connection with a
Corporate Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted,
immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class
of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such
Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such
Corporate Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the
Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

                      (c) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right
of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its
capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

               7. CHANGE IN CONTROL/HOSTILE TAKE-OVER.

                      (a) All Option Shares subject to this option at the time
of a Change in Control but not otherwise vested shall automatically vest so that
this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in
Control, become fully exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the time
subject to this option and may be exercised for all or any portion of such
shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock. This option shall remain
exercisable for such fully-vested Option Shares until the earliest to occur of
(i) the Expiration Date, (ii) the sooner termination of this option in
accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6 or (iii) the surrender of the option in
connection with a Hostile Take-Over.

                      (b) Optionee shall have an unconditional right
(exercisable during the thirty (30)-day period immediately following the
consummation of such Hostile Take-Over) to surrender this option to the
Corporation in exchange for a cash distribution from the Corporation in an
amount equal to the excess of (i) the Take-Over Price of the Option Shares at
the time subject to the surrendered option (whether or not those Option Shares
are otherwise at the time


                                       3.


<PAGE>   5
vested) over (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares. This
Paragraph 7(b) limited stock appreciation right shall in all events terminate
upon the expiration or sooner termination of the option term and may not be
assigned or transferred by Optionee.

                      (c) To exercise the Paragraph 7(b) limited stock
appreciation right, Optionee must, during the applicable thirty (30)-day
exercise period, provide the Corporation with written notice of the option
surrender in which there is specified the number of Option Shares as to which
the Option is being surrendered. Such notice must be accompanied by the return
of Optionee's copy of this Agreement, together with any written amendments to
such Agreement. The cash distribution shall be paid to Optionee within five (5)
days following such delivery date, and no approval or consent of the Board shall
be required in connection with such option surrender and cash distribution. Upon
receipt of such cash distribution, this option shall be cancelled with respect
to the Option Shares subject to the surrendered option (or the surrendered
portion) and Optionee shall cease to have any further right to acquire those
Option Shares under this Agreement. The option shall, however, remain
outstanding for the balance of the Option Shares (if any) in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, and the Corporation shall issue a new stock option
agreement (substantially in the same form as this Agreement) for those remaining
Option Shares.

               8. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. 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 total number
and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in
order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of
benefits hereunder.

               9. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have
any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

               10. MANNER OF EXERCISING OPTION.

                      (a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all
or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time
exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option)
must take the following actions:

                      (i) To the extent the option is exercised for vested
        Option Shares, execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of
        Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. To the
        extent this option is exercised for unvested Option Shares, execute and
        deliver to the Corporation a Purchase Agreement.


                                       4.


<PAGE>   6
                      (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased
        shares in one or more of the following forms:

                          (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation,

                          (B) shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any
               other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite
               period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings
               for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value
               on the Exercise Date, or

                          (C) to the extent the option is exercised for vested
               Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure
               pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons
               exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
               written instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage
               firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and
               remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on
               the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate
               Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all
               applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes
               required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such
               exercise and (II) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates
               for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order
               to complete the sale.

                          Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure
               is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of
               the Exercise Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise (or the
               Purchase Agreement) delivered to the Corporation in connection
               with the option exercise.

                      (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation
        that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than
        Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

                      (b) As soon after the Exercise Date as practical, the
Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or
persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares,
with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. To the extent any such Option
Shares are unvested, the certificates for those Option Shares shall be endorsed
with an appropriate legend evidencing the Corporation's repurchase rights and
may be held in escrow with the Corporation until such shares vest.

                      (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any
fractional shares.

<PAGE>   7
               11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

                      (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the
Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the
Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating
thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq
National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for
trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

                      (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval
from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this
option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the
non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not
have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to
obtain all such approvals.

               12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise
provided in Paragraph 3 or 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and
assigns and Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs
and legatees of Optionee's estate.

               13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the
Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed
to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at
the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All
notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the
U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

               14. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby
are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and
subject to the terms of the Plan.

               15. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and
enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules.

        Intertrans Logistics Solutions Limited 1997 Stock Incentive Plan


<PAGE>   2
                     INTERTRANS LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS LIMITED

                            1997 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


1.      Purpose

        The purpose of this 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") of Intertrans
Logistics Solutions Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Ontario
(the "Company"), is to advance the interests of the Company's stockholders by
enhancing the Company's ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who make
(or are expected to make) important contributions to the Company by providing
such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based
incentives and thereby better aligning the interests of such persons with those
of the Company's stockholders. Except where the context otherwise requires, the
term "Company" shall include any present or future subsidiary corporations of
Intertrans Logistics Solutions Limited as defined in Section 1(2) of the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

2.      Eligibility

        All of the Company's employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisors are eligible to be granted options, restricted stock, or other
stock-based awards (each, an "Award") under the Plan. Any person who has been
granted an Award under the Plan shall be deemed a "Participant".

3.      Administration, Delegation

        (a) Administration by Board of Directors. The Plan will be administered
by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"). The Board shall have
authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative
rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable.
The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall
deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final
judge of such expediency. All decisions by the Board shall be made in the
Board's sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or
claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award. No director or person acting
pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action
or determination relating to or under the Plan made in good faith.

        (b) Delegation to Executive Officers. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more executive officers of the
Company the power to make Awards and exercise such other powers under the Plan
as the Board may determine, provided that the Board shall fix the maximum number
of Common Shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") subject to Awards and the
maximum number of Common Shares for any one Participant to be made by such
executive officers.

        (c) Appointment of Committees. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or
more committees or subcommittees


<PAGE>   3
of the Board (a "Committee"). If and when the Common Shares are registered under
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the
Board shall appoint one such Committee of not less than two members, each member
of which shall be an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "Code"), and a non-employee director" as defined in
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Such Committee shall, at a
minimum, have the authority to grant Awards to the Company's executive officers.
All references in the Plan to the "Board" shall mean the Board or a Committee or
the executive officer referred to in Section 3(b) to the extent that the Board's
powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee or
executive officer.

4.      Stock Available for Awards

        (a) Number of Common Shares. Subject to adjustment under Section 4(c),
Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 50,000 Common Shares. If any Award
expires or is terminated, surrendered or cancelled without having been fully
exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part or results in any Common Shares
not being issued, the unused Common Shares covered by such Award shall again be
available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, subject, however, in the case
of Incentive Stock Options (as hereinafter defined), to any limitation required
under the Code. Common Shares issued under the Plan may consist in whole or in
part of authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

        (b) Per-Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment under Section 4(c), for
Awards granted after the Common Shares are registered under the Exchange Act,
the maximum number of Common Shares with respect to which an Award may be
granted to any Participant under the Plan shall be 40,000 per calendar year. The
per-participant limit described in this Section 4(b) shall be construed and
applied consistently with Section 162(m) of the Code.

        (c) Adjustment to Common Shares. In the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination,
exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in
capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Shares other
than a normal cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available
under this Plan, (ii) the number and class of security and exercise price per
share subject to each outstanding Option, (iii) the repurchase price per
security subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (iv) the terms
of each other outstanding stock-based Award shall be appropriately adjusted by
the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) to the extent the
Board shall determine, in good faith, that such an adjustment (or substitution)
is necessary and appropriate. If this Section 4(c) applies and Section 8(e)(1)
also applies to any event, Section 8(e)(1) shall be applicable to such event,
and this Section 4(c) shall not be applicable.

5.      Stock Options

        (a) General. The Board may grant options to purchase Common Shares
(each, an "Option") and determine the number of Common Shares to be covered by
each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and
limitations applicable to the exercise of each


                                       2.


<PAGE>   4
Option, including conditions relating to applicable securities laws, as it
considers necessary or advisable. An Option which is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option (as hereinafter defined) shall be designated an 'Incentive Stock
Option".

        (b) Incentive Stock Options. An Option that the Board intends to be an
"incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an "Incentive
Stock Option") shall only be granted to employees of the Company and shall be
subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section
422 of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any
other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option.

        (c) Exercise Price. The Board shall establish the exercise price at the
time each Option is granted and specify it in the applicable option agreement;
provided, however that the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Common Shares, as determined by the
Board of Directors, at the time of grant of such Option.

        (d) Duration of Options. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times
and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the
applicable option agreement. No Option will be granted for a term in excess of
10 years.

        (e) Exercise of Option. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the
Company of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person together
with payment in full as specified in Section 5(f) for the number of Common
Shares for which the Option is exercised.

        (f) Payment Upon Exercise. Common Shares purchased upon the exercise of
an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows:

               (1) in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company;

               (2) to the extent permitted by the Board and explicitly provided
in an Option Agreement, by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional
undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company
sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Participant to
the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a
creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check
sufficient to pay the exercise price;

               (3) to the extent permitted by the Board and explicitly provided
in an Option Agreement (i) by delivery of Common Shares owned by the Participant
valued at their fair market value as determined by the Board in good faith
("Fair Market Value"), which Common Shares were owned by the Participant at
least six months prior to such delivery, (ii) by delivery of a promissory note
of the Participant to the Company on terms determined by the Board, or (iii) by
payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or

               (4) any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.


                                       3.


<PAGE>   5
6.      Restricted Stock

        (a) Grants. The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire
Common Shares, subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of
such Common Shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to
require forfeiture of such Common Shares if issued at no cost) from the
recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable
Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or
periods established by the Board for such Award (each, "Restricted Stock
Award").

        (b) Terms and Conditions. The Board shall determine the terms and
conditions of any such Restricted Stock Award, including the conditions for
repurchase (or forfeiture) and the issue price, if any. Any stock certificates
issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be registered in the name of
the Participant and, unless otherwise determined by the Board, deposited by the
Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or
its designee). At the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the
Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to
such restrictions to the Participant or if the Participant has died, to the
beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to
receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the
Participant's death (the "Designated Beneficiary"). In the absence of an
effective designation by a Participant, Designated Beneficiary shall mean the
Participant's estate.

7.      Other Stock-Based Awards

        The Board shall have the right to grant other Awards based upon the
Common Shares having such terms and conditions as the Board may determine,
including the grant of Common Shares based upon certain conditions, the grant of
securities convertible into Common Shares and the grant of stock appreciation
rights.

8.      General Provisions Applicable to Awards

        (a) Transferability of Awards. Except as the Board may otherwise
determine or provide in an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are
granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be
exercisable only by the Participant. References to a Participant, to the extent
relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.

        (b) Documentation. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
written instrument in such form as the Board shall determine. Each Award may
contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.

        (c) Board Discretion. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each
type of Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other type
of Award. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical, and the Board
need not treat Participants uniformly.


                                       4.


<PAGE>   6
        (d) Termination of Status. The Board shall determine the effect on an
Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other
change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to
which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant's legal
representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise
rights under the Award.

        (e) Acquisition Events.

               (1) Consequences of Acquisition Events.

                      (A) Immediately prior to the occurrence of an Acquisition
Event (as defined below),

                           (i) the exercisability of all Options then
outstanding which are not exercisable in full immediately prior to the
occurrence of the Acquisition Event shall be accelerated so that, immediately
prior to the occurrence of the Acquisition Event, 50% of the Common Shares
covered by such Option which are not exercisable shall become fully exercisable
in the manner specified in the instrument evidencing the Option;

                           (ii) the vesting of each Restricted Stock Award shall
be accelerated so that immediately prior to the occurrence of the Acquisition
Event, 50% of the Common Shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture under such
Award shall immediately become vested in the manner specified in the instrument
evidencing such Award and no longer subject to repurchase by, or forfeiture to,
the Company under such Award; and

                           (iii) all other stock-based Awards then outstanding
shall be accelerated so that immediately prior to the occurrence of the
Acquisition Event, 50% of the portion of such stock-based Award which is not
exercisable, realizable or vested shall immediately become exercisable,
realizable or vested in full in the manner specified in the instrument
evidencing such stock-based Award.

                      (B) In addition to, and not in lieu of, the provisions of
Paragraph (A) above, upon the occurrence of an Acquisition Event, the Board
shall take one of the following actions with respect to the then outstanding
Options:

                           (i) provide that all outstanding Options (whether or
not then exercisable) shall be assumed, or equivalent Options shall be
substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate
thereof); provided that any such Options substituted for Incentive Stock Options
shall satisfy, in the determination of the Board, the requirements of Section
424(a) of the Code;

                           (ii) if the acquiring or succeeding corporation is
unwilling or unable to provide for the assumption or substitution of Options in
accordance with the preceding clause (i) or the preceding clause (i) is
otherwise inappropriate or inapplicable, and if under the terms of the
Acquisition Event the holders of Common Shares will receive upon consummation of
the Acquisition Event a cash payment for each Common Share surrendered pursuant
to such


                                       5.


<PAGE>   7
Acquisition Event (the "Cash Acquisition Price"), provide that each outstanding
Option (whether or not then exercisable) shall terminate upon consummation of
such Acquisition Event and any holder thereof shall receive, in exchange
therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (A) the Cash
Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares subject to such
outstanding Option (whether or not then exercisable), exceeds (B) the aggregate
exercise price of such Option; provided that the cash payment with respect to
any Option that is not then exercisable may be held by the Company and
distributed to the Participant at such time as such Option, or such portion of
such Option, would have otherwise become exercisable; or

                           (iii) if the acquiring or succeeding corporation is
unwilling or unable to provide for the assumption or substitution of Options or
for the cash payment of the Options in accordance with the preceding clauses (i)
or (ii), respectively, or the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) are otherwise
inappropriate or inapplicable, provide that all outstanding Options (whether or
not then exercisable) will become exercisable in full as of a specified time
prior to the Acquisition Event and will terminate immediately upon the
consummation of such Acquisition Event, except to the extent exercised by the
Participants between such specified time and the consummation of such
Acquisition Event and provided that the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of
any Option that would not otherwise have been exercisable may be subject to a
right of repurchase in favor of the Company at a price equal to the exercise
price paid by the Participant, which right shall terminate at such time as such
Option, or such portion of such Option, would have otherwise become exercisable,
and which right shall be evidenced by a stock restriction agreement containing
customary terms and conditions as determined by the Board which shall be
executed by the Participant as a condition to the exercise of such Option.

                      (C) In addition to, and not in lieu of, the provisions of
Paragraphs (A) and (B) above, upon the occurrence of an Acquisition Event, the
Board may take any one or more of the following actions with respect to then
outstanding Awards: (i) provide that all then unexercised Options (whether or
not then exercisable) shall become exercisable in full as of a specified time,
(ii) provide that all Restricted Stock Awards then outstanding shall become free
of all restrictions prior to the consummation of the Acquisition Event; and
(iii) provide that any other stock-based Awards outstanding (A) shall become
exercisable, realizable or vested in full, or shall be free of all conditions or
restrictions, as applicable to each such Award, prior to the consummation of the
Acquisition Event, or (B) if applicable, shall be assumed, or equivalent Awards
shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an
affiliate thereof).

                      (D) An "Acquisition Event" shall mean: (i) any merger or
consolidation which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity
outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; (ii) any sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (iii) the complete
liquidation of the Company; or (iv) the acquisition of "beneficial ownership"
(as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company
representing 50% (or 100% for the purposes of Paragraph (B) above) or more of
the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities (other
than through a merger or consolidation or an acquisition of securities directly
from the Company) by any


                                       6.


<PAGE>   8
"person", as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act
other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company or any corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportion as their ownership of stock of the Company.

               (2) Assumption of Options Upon Certain Events. The Board may
grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards
held by employees of another corporation who become employees of the Company as
a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the
Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of the employing
corporation. The substitute Awards shall be granted on such terms and conditions
as the Board considers appropriate in the circumstances.

        (f) Withholding. Each Participant shall pay to the Company, or make
provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to
be withheld in connection with Awards to such Participant no later than the date
of the event creating the tax liability. The Board may allow Participants to
satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part in Common Shares, including
Common Shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at
their Fair Market Value. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct
any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a
Participant.

        (g) Amendment of Award. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another
Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or
realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, provided that the Participant's consent to such action shall be required
unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related
action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.

        (h) Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated
to deliver any Common Shares pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from
shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award
have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion
of the Company's counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the
issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any
applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market
rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to
the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider
appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or
regulations.

        (i) Acceleration. The Board may at any time provide that any Options
shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, that any Restricted
Stock Awards shall be free of all restrictions or that any other stock-based
Awards may become exercisable in full or in part or free of some or all
restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the
case may be.


                                       7.

9.      Miscellaneous

        (a) No Right To Employment or Other Status. No person shall have any
claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be
construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other
relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right at any
time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free
from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the
applicable Award.

        (b) No Rights As Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the
applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights
as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares to be distributed with
respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares.

        (c) Effective Date and Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on
the date on which it is adopted by the Board. No Awards shall be granted under
the Plan after the completion of ten years from the earlier of (i) the date on
which the Plan was adopted by the Board or (ii) the date the Plan was approved
by the Company's stockholders, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond
that date.

        (d) Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the
Plan or any portion thereof at any time.

        (e) Governing Law. The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made
hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of
the Province of Ontario, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law.



                        Adopted by the Board of Directors
                        on July 15, 1997

   Form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement in connection with the Intertrans
             Logistics Solutions Limited 1997 Stock Incentive Plan


<PAGE>   2
                     INTERTRANS LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS LIMITED


                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                     GRANTED UNDER 1997 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


1.      Grant of Option.

        (a) This agreement evidences the grant by Intertrans Logistics Solutions
Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Ontario (the "Company"), on
July 15, 1997 (the "Grant Date") to ________________________________, an
employee of the Company (the "Participant"), of an option to purchase, in whole
or in part, on the terms provided herein and in the Company's 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), a total of ________________ Class K shares of the
Company (the "Common Shares") at a price of $45.00 per Common Share, being the
Fair Market Value (as defined below) per Common Share. Unless earlier
terminated, this option shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date
(the "Final Exercise Date"). For the purposes of this Agreement, "Fair Market
Value" shall mean fair market value as determined by the Company in good faith.

        (b) It is intended that the option evidenced by this agreement shall be
an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the
"Code"). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Participant",
as used in this option, shall be deemed to include any person who acquires the
right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

2.      Vesting Schedule.

        (a) This option shall become exercisable ("vest") as to ____________
Common Shares covered hereby at the end of each successive full one-month period
until ___________________, the Grant Date. This option shall expire upon, and
will not be exercisable after, the Final Exercise Date. The right of exercise
shall be cumulative so that to the extent this option is not exercised in any
period to the maximum extent permissible it shall continue to be exercisable, in
whole or in part, with respect to all Common Shares for which it is vested until
the earlier of the Final Exercise Date or the termination of this option under
Section 3 hereof or the Plan.

        (b) Notwithstanding Section 2(a) above,

               (i) effective immediately prior to the occurrence of an
Acquisition Event (as defined in Section 8(e)(1) of the Plan), this option shall
become immediately exercisable with respect to 50% of the Common Shares as to
which this option is not then exercisable and the Vesting Percentage shall be
reduced by 50%. For example, if, effective upon the occurrence of an Acquisition
Event, (A) 4,800 Common Shares are not then exercisable under Section 2(a), and
(B) the Vesting Percentage is 2%, then this option shall immediately become
exercisable with respect to 2,400 Common Shares and the remaining unexercisable
2,400 Common Shares shall become exercisable in the manner provided by Section
2(a) with a Vesting Percentage of 1%; and


<PAGE>   3
               (ii) in the event that, at any time within the 12-month period
following the occurrence of an Acquisition Event, (a) the Company discharges the
Participant for any reason other than "cause" (as defined below) or the
Participant's material failure to perform his reasonably assigned duties for the
Company (which shall include inadequate performance by the Participant) or (b)
the Participant terminates his relationship with the Company as a result of the
material and adverse diminution by the Company, on a cumulative basis, of the
Participant's duties, authority, position, compensation or aggregate benefits,
which diminution is not cured by the Company within 60 days of notice by the
Participant to the Company of such diminution, then this option shall
immediately become exercisable with respect to all of the Common Shares covered
hereby. "Cause" shall mean willful misconduct by the Participant or willful
failure by the Participant to perform his or her responsibilities to the Company
(including, without limitation, breach by the Participant of any provision of
any employment, consulting, advisory, nondisclosure, non-competition or other
similar agreement between the Participant and the Company, including without
limitation, the Stock Restriction Agreement and the Invention, Non- Disclosure
and Non-Competition Agreement, both as defined below), as determined by the
Company, which determination shall be conclusive. The Participant shall be
considered to have been discharged for "Cause" if the Company determines, within
30 days after the Participant's resignation, that discharge for cause was
warranted.

3.      Exercise of Option.

        (a) Form of Exercise. Each election to exercise this option shall be in
writing, signed by the Participant, and received by the Company at its principal
office, accompanied by this agreement, and payment in full in the manner
provided in the Plan, including without limitation, to the extent permitted or
consented to by the Company at or prior to the time of exercise, (i) by delivery
of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to
deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or
delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and
unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the
Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price, (ii) by delivery
of Common Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value,
which Common Shares were owned by the Participant at least six months prior to
such delivery, (iii) by delivery of a promissory note of the Participant to the
Company on terms determined by the Company, or (iv) by payment of such other
lawful consideration as the Company may determine. The Participant may purchase
less than the full number of Common Shares covered hereby, provided that no
partial exercise of this option may be for any fractional Common Share.

        (b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 3, this option may not be exercised unless
the Participant, at the time he or she exercises this option, is, and has been
at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer or director of, or
consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company
as defined in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an "Eligible Participant").

        (c) Termination of Relationship with the Company. If the Participant
ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason prior to the Final Exercise
Date, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the right to
exercise this option shall terminate 90 days after the date of such cessation
(but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option


                                       2.


<PAGE>   4
shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to
exercise this option on the date of such cessation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the Final Exercise Date, violates the
non-competition or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract,
confidentiality and nondisclosure agreement or other agreement between the
Participant and the Company, including without limitation, the Stock Restriction
Agreement and the Invention, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement (both
as defined below), the right to exercise this option shall terminate immediately
upon written notice to the Participant from the Company describing such
violation.

        (d) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. If the Participant ceases
to be an Eligible Participant solely because of his or her death or disability
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) prior to the Final Exercise
Date, then the right to exercise this option shall terminate 180 days after the
date of such cessation (but in no event after the Final Exercise Date), provided
that this option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Participant
was entitled to exercise this option on the date of such cessation.

        (e) Discharge for Cause. If the Participant ceases to be an Eligible
Participant prior to the Final Exercise Date because he or she is discharged by
the Company for "cause", the right to exercise this option shall terminate
immediately upon the effective date of such discharge.

4.      Other Agreements.

        As a condition to the effectiveness of this option, the Participant
shall execute and deliver to the Company upon the grant of this option (i) a
Stock Restriction Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Stock
Restriction Agreement") and (ii) an Invention, Non-Disclosure and
Non-Competition Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
"Invention, Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreement") .

5.      Agreement in Connection with Public Offering.

        The Participant agrees, in connection with the initial underwritten
public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a prospectus under the
Securities Act (Ontario) (the "Ontario Securities Act") or a registration
statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "US Securities
Act"), (i) not to sell, make short sale of, loan, grant any options for the
purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Common Shares held by the Participant
(other than those Common Shares included in the offering) without the prior
written consent of the Company or the underwriters managing such initial

owned subsidiary thereof.

               (vi) The Participant is aware that the Company is a private
company within the meaning of the Ontario Securities Act and its articles
contain restrictions on the transfer of shares, prohibit any invitation to the
public to subscribe for securities of the Company and restrict the number of
shareholders, exclusive of persons who are in the employment of the Company and
persons who have formally been in the employment of the Company and have

               (vii) The Company's actual performance and results may differ
materially from any financial projections or forecasts provided by or on behalf
of the Company.

By making payment upon exercise of this option, the Participant shall be deemed
to have reaffirmed, as of the date of such payment, the representations made in
this Section 9.

        (b) Legends on Stock Certificates. All stock certificates representing
Common Shares issued to the Participant upon exercise of this option shall have
affixed thereto legends substantially in the following forms, in addition to any
other legends required by applicable law:

               "The shares represented by the certificate have not been
               qualified under a prospectus filed pursuant to the Securities Act
               (Ontario) and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed

               evidenced by this certificate, filed and made effective under the
               U.S. Securities Act of 1933, or an opinion of counsel
               satisfactory to the Company to the effect that registration under
               such Act is not required."

               "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to
               certain restrictions on transfer contained in the Articles of the
               Company and in an Option Agreement, copies of which will be

class of shares or otherwise, or if the Company amalgamates, the exercise price
and the type of security to be delivered to the Participant upon exercise of

                              i2 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
                        STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT



OPTIONEE:  1~

               STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT issued as of the 30th day of
April, 1998 by i2 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("i2
Technologies").

               WHEREAS, the undersigned individual ("Optionee") holds one or
more stock options to purchase shares of the Class K common shares of Intertrans
Logistics Solutions Limited, an Ontario Corporation ("ITLS"), which were granted
to Optionee under the ITLS 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and are
evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") between ITLS and
Optionee.

               WHEREAS, ITLS is acquired by i2 Technologies through an exchange
of the shares of ITLS for shares of i2 Technologies (the "Exchange") pursuant to
the Stock Exchange Agreement dated March 24, 1998, by and among i2 Technologies,
ITLS and the shareholders of ITLS (the "Exchange Agreement").

               WHEREAS, the provisions of the Exchange Agreement require i2
Technologies to assume all obligations of ITLS under all options outstanding
under the Plan at the consummation of the Exchange and to issue to the holder of
each outstanding option an agreement evidencing the assumption of such option.

               WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Exchange Agreement,
the exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in effect for the Exchange is 1.608167
of a share of i2 Technologies common stock ("i2 Technologies Stock") for each
outstanding Class K common share of ITLS common stock (the "ITLS Stock").

               WHEREAS, this Agreement is to become effective immediately upon
the consummation of the Exchange (the "Effective Time") in order to reflect
certain adjustments to Optionee's outstanding options under the Plan which have
become necessary by reason of the assumption of those options by i2 Technologies
in connection with the Exchange.

               NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

               1. The number of shares of ITLS Stock subject to each of the
stock options held by Optionee under the Plan immediately prior to the Effective
Time (the "ITLS Options") and the Canadian Dollar exercise price payable per
share are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. i2 Technologies hereby assumes, as of
the Effective Time, all the duties and obligations of ITLS under each of the
ITLS Options. In connection with such assumption, the number of shares of i2
Technologies Stock purchasable under each ITLS Option hereby assumed and the
U.S. Dollar


<PAGE>   3
exercise price payable thereunder have been adjusted to reflect the Exchange
Ratio. Accordingly, the number of shares of i2 Technologies Stock subject to
each ITLS Option hereby assumed shall be as specified for that option in
attached Exhibit B, and the adjusted U.S. Dollar exercise price payable per
share of i2 Technologies Stock under the assumed ITLS Option shall be as
indicated for that option in attached Exhibit B.

               2. The following provisions shall govern each ITLS Option hereby
assumed by i2 Technologies:

                    (a) Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to
                the "Company" in the Option Agreement and in the Plan (as
                incorporated into such Option Agreement) shall mean i2
                Technologies, all references to "Common Shares" shall mean
                shares of i2 Technologies Stock, all references to the Board
                shall mean the Board of Directors of i2 Technologies and all
                references to the "Committee" shall mean the Compensation
                Committee of the i2 Technologies Board of Directors.

                    (b) The grant date and the expiration date of each assumed
                ITLS Option and all other provisions which govern either the
                exercise or the termination of the assumed ITLS Option shall
                remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement applicable
                to that option and shall accordingly govern and control
                Optionee's rights under this Agreement to purchase i2
                Technologies Stock.

                    (c) Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Option
                Agreements, each ITLS Option will automatically accelerate and
                become exercisable for fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the
                ITLS Stock for which it is not exercisable immediately prior to
                the Effective Time and the vesting percentage shall be reduced
                by fifty percent (50%) so that the unvested shares shall vest at
                50% of the vesting rate in effect immediately prior to the
                Effective time.

                    (d) For purposes of applying any and all provisions of the
                Option Agreement relating to Optionee's status as an "Eligible
                Participant", Optionee shall be deemed to continue in such
                status for so long as Optionee renders services as an employee,
                director or consultant to i2 Technologies or any present or
                future i2 Technologies subsidiary, including (without
                limitation) ITLS. Accordingly, the provisions of the Option
                Agreement governing the termination of the assumed ITLS Option
                upon Optionee's cessation of Eligible Participant status with
                ITLS shall hereafter be applied on the basis of Optionee's
                cessation of service as an employee, director or consultant of
                i2 Technologies and its subsidiaries, and each assumed ITLS
                Option shall accordingly terminate, within the designated time
                period in effect under the Option Agreement for that option,
                following such cessation of service with i2 Technologies and its
                subsidiaries.


                                       2.

                payable in any of the forms authorized under the Option
                Agreement applicable to that option. For purposes of determining
                the holding period of any shares of i2 Technologies Stock
                delivered in payment of such adjusted exercise price, the period
                for which such shares were held as ITLS Stock prior to the
                Exchange shall be taken into account.

                must deliver to i2 Technologies a written notice of exercise in
                which the number of shares of i2 Technologies Stock to be

                for the purchased shares of i2 Technologies Stock (with such
                payment to be made in U.S. Dollars if the exercise price is
                being paid in cash) and should be delivered to i2 Technologies
                at the following address:
