         This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D dated July 23, 1996 (the
"Original Schedule 13D"), filed jointly by each of the following persons
pursuant to Rule 13d-(1)(f) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"): (i) MCS Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("MCS"); (ii) Stephen R. Kerrigan (by virtue of his controlling interest in
MCS); (iii) President and Fellows of Harvard College, a Massachusetts charitable
corporation ("Harvard"); (iv) Harvard Management Company, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation ("Harvard Management") (by virtue of it being the investment manager
of Harvard); (v) Mitchell Blatt; (vi) Robert M. Doyle; (vii) Michael E. Stanky;
(viii) Charles Prato; (ix) David Tulkop; (x) Russell Harrison; (xi) James N.
Chapman; (xii) Michael E. Marrus; (xiii) S.A. Spencer; and (xiv) Mary M.
Spencer. Notwithstanding this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D speaks as of
its date. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment
have the meanings given to them in the Original Schedule 13D.    

         MCS, Harvard, Harvard Management, and each of Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt,
Doyle, Stanky, Prato, Tulkop, Harrison, Chapman, Marrus, S.A. Spencer and Mary
M. Spencer are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Reporting Person"
and collectively as the "Reporting Persons."
    
         Information with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by
such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the
accuracy or completeness of information given by another Reporting Person. By
their signatures on this Amendment, each Reporting Person agrees that this
Amendment, is filed on behalf of such Reporting Person.     
    
         The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" for
purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons and the
other parties to the Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 4 of the Original
Schedule 13D) may also be deemed to constitute a "group" for purposes of Section
13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Persons expressly deny the existence
of any agreement to act as a group other than as described in the Original
Schedule 13D and in this Amendment.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

    
        See Item 5(c) below.     

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

             (a) and (b)
    
             Each of the Voting Stockholders beneficially owns the number and
percentage of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite each of their names in
this Item 5 below, assuming there are 12,687,135 shares outstanding on the date 
hereof based on information contained in the Issuer's Proxy Statement on
Schedule 14A, filed on May 19, 1998 (the "1998 Proxy Statement"). Other than Mr.
Spencer, each Voting Stockholder has the sole power to vote and the sole power
to dispose of or direct the disposition of the number of shares of Common Stock
held by them. By virtue of the relationship between MCS and Mr. Kerrigan
described in Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D, Mr. Kerrigan may be deemed to
possess indirect beneficial ownership of and share the power to vote and
indirectly share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by MCS. By virtue of the relationship between
Harvard and Harvard Management described in Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D,
Harvard Management may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of and
share the power to vote and indirectly share the power to dispose of or direct
the disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Harvard. Mr.
Spencer and Ms. Spencer own their shares as joint tenants with right of
survivorship and share the power to vote and the power to dispose of or direct
the disposition of the shares of Common Stock held by them.    
    
             The Reporting Persons and the Fund may also be deemed to be a
"group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as a result of the
Voting Agreement described in Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D, and, based on
the information contained in the 1998 Proxy Statement, may therefore be deemed
to be the indirect beneficial owners of and to share the power to vote or direct
the vote of 3,008,402 additional shares of Common Stock that are subject to the
terms of the Voting Agreement. If the Reporting Persons were deemed to be the
beneficial owners of such additional shares of Common Stock, then the Reporting
Persons would be deemed to be the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 4,242,012
shares or approximately 32.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock
assuming there are 13,025,654 shares of Common Stock outstanding, including
338,519 shares of Common Stock subject to currently exercisable options held by
the Reporting Persons. The foregoing information does not include shares of
Common Stock subject to options not exercisable within 60 days of May 19, 1998,
held by the Reporting Persons and the 480,648 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock
held by Heller and Jackson National. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial
ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by the other parties to the Voting
Agreement.

          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, any
and all Options not exercised on or prior to September 5, 2007 (whether or not
exercisable at such time) shall automatically expire, and Optionee shall have no
rights in or to such Options after such date.  The period from the date hereof
to September 5, 2007, shall be referred to herein as the "Option Period".
                                                          -------------  

          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
immediately prior to the closing of a Change of Control Transaction, any and all
Options granted under this Agreement shall be deemed fully vested (whether or
not such options have vested at such time pursuant to the vesting schedule set
forth herein) and shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, by Optionee if, at
the time of exercise, all conditions to exercise set forth in this Agreement
(other than any vesting requirements) have, in the reasonable discretion of the
Board, been satisfied.  For purposes of this paragraph 4, a "Change of Control
Transaction" shall be deemed to have occurred when (i) the Corporation shall at
any time cease to own directly 100% of the capital stock of Coinmach Corporation
("Coinmach"), (ii) any "Person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Section
13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")), excluding Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Inc. or any entity
controlled thereby ("GTCR"), is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of a greater percentage of Common Stock than is owned by GTCR at
such time, (iii) the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall cease to
consist of a majority of the directors of the Corporation on January 8, 1997 and
other directors (collectively, the "Continuing Directors") whose nomination for
election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is recommended by the then
Continuing Directors, or (iv) the Corporation or Coinmach (or any successor of
the Corporation or Coinmach by merger or other business combination) shall at
any time sell all or substantially all of its assets.

          5.   Conditions to Exercise of Options.  No Option may be exercised by
               ---------------------------------                                
Optionee to the extent that, at the time of such proposed exercise, Optionee is
not, in the reasonable discretion of the Board, providing, when and as requested
by the Corporation, Services in a manner and on economic terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation and consistent with past practice; provided,
                                                                   -------- 
however, that (i) upon Optionee's death or incapacitation or (ii) upon
- -------                                                               
termination of Optionee's employment by the Corporation without Cause, Optionee
shall be entitled to exercise, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, all Options that have vested on or prior to the date of death or
incapacitation or termination, as the case may be.  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" means (i) a material breach of any agreement with the
            -----                                                       
Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or its
stockholders by Optionee (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (ii)
a breach of Optionee's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any act of dishonesty, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud with respect to the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any of their respective
stockholders, customers or suppliers, (iii) the commission by Optionee of a
felony, a crime involving moral turpitude or other act or omission tending to
cause harm to the standing and reputation of, or
<PAGE>
 
otherwise bring public disgrace or disrepute to, the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, (iv) Optionee's continued failure
or refusal to perform any material duty to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent which is normally attached to his
position (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), or (v) Optionee's
gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing those duties which are
normally attached to his position (after notice and reasonable opportunity to
cure).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Optionee's duty of loyalty to the
                                         ---------------------------------
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent" shall
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------       
include Optionee's fiduciary obligation to place the interests of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent ahead of his
personal interests and thereby not knowingly profit personally at the expense of
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, and
shall also include specifically the affirmative obligation to disclose promptly
to the Board any known conflicts of interest Optionee may have with respect to
the Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, and the
negative obligations not to usurp corporate opportunities of the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, not to engage in any
"conflict-of-interest" transactions with the Corporation or its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent (without the approval of the Board), and not to
compete directly with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or
corporate parent (without the approval of the Board).

          6.   Exercise Procedure.  The Options may be exercised by Optionee,
               ------------------                                            
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, in whole or in part, at
any time during the Option Period by prior written notice delivered to the
Corporation.  Such notice shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock
to be purchased.  Upon receipt thereof, the Corporation and the Optionee shall
mutually agree to a time and date, not later than 30 days from the delivery date
of such notice, on which to close the exercise of such Options (the "Closing").
                                                                     -------   

          7.   Closing.  At or prior to the Closing, the Optionee shall have
               -------                                                      
delivered to the Corporation the aggregate Exercise Price of the Options paid in
cash or by certified or bank check or wire transfer to an account designated by
the Corporation.  At such time that the Corporation is able to confirm to its
reasonable satisfaction receipt in full of the Exercise Price, the Corporation
shall deliver to Optionee a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Options as soon as practicable thereafter.

          8.   Fractional Shares; Calculations.  The Corporation shall not be
               -------------------------------                               
required to issue fractions of a share of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Options.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Optionee's Options
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Options shall be adjusted accordingly.  All calculations required
to be made hereunder shall, prior to such rounding, be carried out to at least
the third decimal place.

          9.   Changes in Stock.
               ---------------- 

          (a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Corporation, if at any time while one or more Options granted hereunder are
outstanding, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased
or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the
Corporation through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
change in corporate structure affecting the kind or number of issued shares of
Common Stock as a class, the Corporation shall equitably adjust the number,
kind, and purchase price of the shares subject to the Option so that the
Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which the Optionee
would have received, as a result of the capital change, for the shares of Common
Stock that he would have
<PAGE>
 
acquired by exercising the Option immediately prior to such capital change, for
the same aggregate Exercise Price as the Optionee would have paid at the prior
time.

          (b) In case the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction
(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets or a recapitalization of the
Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Corporation or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any
of the foregoing or in case the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, other than regularly-scheduled
cash dividends (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction" and
                                                             -----------     
the date of consummation of a Transaction being herein called a "Consummation
                                                                 ------------
Date"), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that upon the
- ----                                                                     
exercise hereof at any time after the Consummation Date of such Transaction, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities or other property to which he or
she would actually have been entitled as a stockholder of the Corporation upon
the consummation of such Transaction, if the Optionee had exercised his Options
immediately prior thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

          10.  No Voting or Dividend Rights or Rights to Continued Employment.
               --------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as may be specifically provided in Section 9 hereof, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation in respect of the shares subject to the Options,
including without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder, or to receive
any dividends paid or other distributions made to, stockholders.  If Optionee
is, or hereinafter becomes, an employee or director of the Corporation or any
subsidiary thereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
confer upon Optionee any right to continued employment with, or a continued
officer or directorship position with, the Corporation or any subsidiary
thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to
terminate Optionee in accordance with the provisions regarding such termination
set forth in Optionee's written employment agreement with the Corporation, or if
there exists no such agreement, to terminate Optionee at will, and/or terminate
Optionee's directorship or officer position in accordance with the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and/or applicable law, as the case may
be.

          11.  Withholding Tax.  Not later than the date as of which an amount
               ---------------                                                
first must be included in the gross income of Optionee for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to the Options, Optionee may be required to pay the
Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  The obligations of the
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditional upon such payments
or arrangements with the Corporation, if such payments or arrangements are
required, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
Optionee from the Corporation.

          12.  Restrictions on Transferability; Legends.
               ---------------------------------------- 

          (a)  This Agreement, the Options granted hereby, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and any other securities issuable pursuant
to Section 9 hereof (collectively, the "Securities") shall not be transferable
                                        ----------                            
by the Optionee without the prior written consent of the Corporation.  No
transfer of the Options by Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless the Corporation
shall have been
<PAGE>
 
furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other
evidence as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Options.

          (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities without registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and compliance with state securities
                              --------                                        
and Blue Sky laws, or in the event that they are not so registered, unless (i)
an exemption from the 1933 Act registration requirements is available
thereunder, and (ii) Optionee has furnished the Corporation with written notice
of such proposed transfer, and the Corporation's legal counsel, in its
reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to be so exempt.

          (c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities, except in accordance with (i) the
Corporation's policy, if any, regarding the sale and disposition of securities
owned by employees, directors and/or officers of the Corporation, (ii) an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation in effect at the time of the
sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, or
(iii) if such an agreement set forth in clause (ii) above is not in effect, an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Corporation may, among
other things, establish certain restrictions and rights to maintain continuity
of ownership and control of the Corporation.

          (d) Each certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Options shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the
legends in substantially the following forms:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN
          MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
          EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT
          OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH
          LAWS, WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH COUNSEL
          AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THIS
          CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
          PURSUANT TO AN OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 5, 1997, A COPY
          OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE CORPORATION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,

contemplated hereby have been duly and properly taken.

          (c) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options
have been duly authorized, and when such shares are issued to the Optionee in

of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Options based on the number of
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date hereof and assuming
the exercise of all of the Options, and will, from time to time, reserve such
additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon exercise of the
Options.

          14.  Representations and Warranties of the Optionee.  The Optionee

carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options for sale under the 1933 Act.

answers from the officers and directors of the Corporation and all persons
acting on the Corporation's behalf concerning the terms and conditions of the
Options and this Agreement.

orders with its transfer agent against the transfer of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options in the absence of registration under
the 1933 Act or exemption therefrom as provided herein.

          15.  No Finders.  Neither the Corporation nor the individual parties

               ------------- 

          (a) Governing Law; Arbitration; Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be

vesting schedule set forth below and (ii) at the time of exercise of such Option
all conditions to exercise set forth in this Agreement are satisfied to the

          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, any
and all Options not exercised on or prior to September 5, 2007 (whether or not
exercisable at such time) shall automatically expire, and Optionee shall have no
rights in or to such Options after such date.  The period from the date hereof
to September 5, 2007, shall be referred to herein as the "Option Period".
                                                          -------------  

          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
immediately prior to the closing of a Change of Control Transaction, any and all
Options granted under this Agreement shall be deemed fully vested (whether or
not such options have vested at such time pursuant to the vesting schedule set
forth herein) and shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, by Optionee if, at
the time of exercise, all conditions to exercise set forth in this Agreement
(other than any vesting requirements) have, in the reasonable discretion of the
Board, been satisfied.  For purposes of this paragraph 4, a "Change of Control
Transaction" shall be deemed to have occurred when (i) the Corporation shall at
any time cease to own directly 100% of the capital stock of Coinmach Corporation
("Coinmach"), (ii) any "Person" or "group" (as such terms are used in Section
13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")), excluding Golder, Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Inc. or any entity
controlled thereby ("GTCR"), is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as
defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or
indirectly, of a greater percentage of Common Stock than is owned by GTCR at
such time, (iii) the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall cease to
consist of a majority of the directors of the Corporation on January 8, 1997 and
other directors (collectively, the "Continuing Directors") whose nomination for
election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is recommended by the then
Continuing Directors, or (iv) the Corporation or Coinmach (or any successor of
the Corporation or Coinmach by merger or other business combination) shall at
any time sell all or substantially all of its assets.

          5.   Conditions to Exercise of Options.  No Option may be exercised by
               ---------------------------------                                
Optionee to the extent that, at the time of such proposed exercise, Optionee is
not, in the reasonable discretion of the Board, providing, when and as requested
by the Corporation, Services in a manner and on economic terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation and consistent with past practice; provided,
                                                                   -------- 
however, that (i) upon Optionee's death or incapacitation or (ii) upon
- -------                                                               
termination of Optionee's employment by the Corporation without Cause, Optionee
shall be entitled to exercise, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, all Options that have vested on or prior to the date of death or
incapacitation or termination, as the case may be.  For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" means (i) a material breach of any agreement with the
            -----                                                       
Corporation, its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or its
stockholders by Optionee (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), (ii)
a breach of Optionee's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any act of dishonesty, gross
negligence, willful misconduct or fraud with respect to the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent or any of their respective
stockholders, customers or suppliers, (iii) the commission by Optionee of a
felony, a crime involving moral turpitude or other act or omission tending to
cause harm to the standing and reputation of, or
<PAGE>
 
otherwise bring public disgrace or disrepute to, the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, (iv) Optionee's continued failure
or refusal to perform any material duty to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent which is normally attached to his
position (after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure), or (v) Optionee's
gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing those duties which are
normally attached to his position (after notice and reasonable opportunity to
cure).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Optionee's duty of loyalty to the
                                         ---------------------------------
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent" shall
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------       
include Optionee's fiduciary obligation to place the interests of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent ahead of his
personal interests and thereby not knowingly profit personally at the expense of
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, and
shall also include specifically the affirmative obligation to disclose promptly
to the Board any known conflicts of interest Optionee may have with respect to
the Corporation and its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, and the
negative obligations not to usurp corporate opportunities of the Corporation or
any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or corporate parent, not to engage in any
"conflict-of-interest" transactions with the Corporation or its subsidiaries,
affiliates or corporate parent (without the approval of the Board), and not to
compete directly with the Corporation or its subsidiaries, affiliates or
corporate parent (without the approval of the Board).

          6.   Exercise Procedure.  The Options may be exercised by Optionee,
               ------------------                                            
subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, in whole or in part, at
any time during the Option Period by prior written notice delivered to the
Corporation.  Such notice shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock
to be purchased.  Upon receipt thereof, the Corporation and the Optionee shall
mutually agree to a time and date, not later than 30 days from the delivery date
of such notice, on which to close the exercise of such Options (the "Closing").
                                                                     -------   

          7.   Closing.  At or prior to the Closing, the Optionee shall have
               -------                                                      
delivered to the Corporation the aggregate Exercise Price of the Options paid in
cash or by certified or bank check or wire transfer to an account designated by
the Corporation.  At such time that the Corporation is able to confirm to its
reasonable satisfaction receipt in full of the Exercise Price, the Corporation
shall deliver to Optionee a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Options as soon as practicable thereafter.

          8.   Fractional Shares; Calculations.  The Corporation shall not be
               -------------------------------                               
required to issue fractions of a share of Common Stock upon exercise of the
Options.  The number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Optionee's Options
shall be rounded to the nearest whole share and the aggregate number of shares
subject to the Options shall be adjusted accordingly.  All calculations required
to be made hereunder shall, prior to such rounding, be carried out to at least
the third decimal place.

          9.   Changes in Stock.
               ---------------- 

          (a) Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Corporation, if at any time while one or more Options granted hereunder are
outstanding, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased
or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the
Corporation through a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock
combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar
change in corporate structure affecting the kind or number of issued shares of
Common Stock as a class, the Corporation shall equitably adjust the number,
kind, and purchase price of the shares subject to the Option so that the
Optionee shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares which the Optionee
would have received, as a result of the capital change, for the shares of Common
Stock that he would have
<PAGE>
 
acquired by exercising the Option immediately prior to such capital change, for
the same aggregate Exercise Price as the Optionee would have paid at the prior
time.

          (b) In case the Corporation shall be a party to any transaction
(including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the Corporation's assets or a recapitalization of the
Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Corporation or
common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a
noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any
of the foregoing or in case the Corporation shall pay any dividend or make any
distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, other than regularly-scheduled
cash dividends (each such transaction being herein called a "Transaction" and
                                                             -----------     
the date of consummation of a Transaction being herein called a "Consummation
                                                                 ------------
Date"), then lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that upon the
- ----                                                                     
exercise hereof at any time after the Consummation Date of such Transaction, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable
hereunder, the kind and amount of securities or other property to which he or
she would actually have been entitled as a stockholder of the Corporation upon
the consummation of such Transaction, if the Optionee had exercised his Options
immediately prior thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall similarly
apply to successive Transactions.

          10.  No Voting or Dividend Rights or Rights to Continued Employment.
               --------------------------------------------------------------  
Except as may be specifically provided in Section 9 hereof, nothing contained
herein shall be construed as conferring upon the Optionee the rights of a
stockholder of the Corporation in respect of the shares subject to the Options,
including without limitation, the right to vote as a stockholder, or to receive
any dividends paid or other distributions made to, stockholders.  If Optionee
is, or hereinafter becomes, an employee or director of the Corporation or any
subsidiary thereof, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
confer upon Optionee any right to continued employment with, or a continued
officer or directorship position with, the Corporation or any subsidiary
thereof, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation to
terminate Optionee in accordance with the provisions regarding such termination
set forth in Optionee's written employment agreement with the Corporation, or if
there exists no such agreement, to terminate Optionee at will, and/or terminate
Optionee's directorship or officer position in accordance with the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and/or applicable law, as the case may
be.

          11.  Withholding Tax.  Not later than the date as of which an amount
               ---------------                                                
first must be included in the gross income of Optionee for Federal income tax
purposes with respect to the Options, Optionee may be required to pay the
Corporation, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation regarding the
payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be
withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  The obligations of the
Corporation pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditional upon such payments
or arrangements with the Corporation, if such payments or arrangements are
required, and the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to
Optionee from the Corporation.

          12.  Restrictions on Transferability; Legends.
               ---------------------------------------- 

          (a)  This Agreement, the Options granted hereby, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, and any other securities issuable pursuant
to Section 9 hereof (collectively, the "Securities") shall not be transferable
                                        ----------

transfer of the Options by Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution shall be effective to bind the Corporation unless the Corporation
shall have been
<PAGE>
 
furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other
evidence as the Corporation may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the Options.

          (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities without registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and compliance with state securities
                              --------                                        
and Blue Sky laws, or in the event that they are not so registered, unless (i)
an exemption from the 1933 Act registration requirements is available
thereunder, and (ii) Optionee has furnished the Corporation with written notice
of such proposed transfer, and the Corporation's legal counsel, in its
reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to be so exempt.

          (c) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not sell, transfer by any means or
otherwise dispose of the Securities, except in accordance with (i) the
Corporation's policy, if any, regarding the sale and disposition of securities
owned by employees, directors and/or officers of the Corporation, (ii) an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation in effect at the time of the
sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, or
(iii) if such an agreement set forth in clause (ii) above is not in effect, an
agreement among the stockholders of the Corporation reasonably acceptable to the
Corporation pursuant to which the stockholders of the Corporation may, among
other things, establish certain restrictions and rights to maintain continuity
of ownership and control of the Corporation.

          (d) Each certificate representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Options shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with the
legends in substantially the following forms:

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
          REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
          SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN
          MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
          EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT
          OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH
          LAWS, WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH COUNSEL
          AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THIS
          CORPORATION, IS AVAILABLE.

          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED
          PURSUANT TO AN OPTION AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 5, 1997, A COPY
          OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE CORPORATION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,

of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the Options based on the number of
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the date hereof and assuming
