ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") 
authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, 
indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such 
indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including 
reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended (the "Securities Act"). Article Ten of the Registrant's Certificate 
of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1 hereto) and Article VI of the Registrant's Bylaws 
(Exhibit 3.2 hereto) provide for indemnification of the Registrant's directors, 
officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware
Law. In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements 
(Exhibit 10.1 hereto) with its officers and directors. The Underwriting 
Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) also provides for cross-indemnification among the 
Company and the Underwriters with respect to certain matters, including matters 
arising under the Securities Act.

ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

     Since September 30, 1995, the Registrant has issued and sold the following 
unregistered securities:

     1.   On January 30, 1996, the Registrant issued and sold an aggregate of

     4.   On January 31, 1996, the Registrant issued a warrant to purchase an 
aggregate of 2,500 shares of Common Stock to Imperial Bank for an aggregate cash

forth above. The issuances of the securities set forth in paragraph 1 of this 
Item 15 were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in 
reliance upon Rule 701 promulgated thereunder. The other issuances set forth in 
this Item 15 were deemed to be exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder as a transaction 
by an issuer not involving a public offering.

intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to 
or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends
were affixed to the securities issued.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced in Item 14 of this Registration
Statement or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 hereunder, 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 of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

               (1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the 
     Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of this prospectus
     filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
     contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule
     424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be
     part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared
     effective.

               (2)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the 
     Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus 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.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the Underwriters
at the closing, as specified in the Underwriting Agreement, certificates in such
denomination and registered in such names as required by the Underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
Montgomery Securities
As Representatives of the
  Several Underwriters
c/o Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
135 East Baltimore Street
Baltimore, Maryland  21202

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          Splash Technology Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and certain stockholders of the Company (the "Selling Stockholders")
propose to sell to the several underwriters (the "Underwriters") named in
Schedule I hereto for whom you are acting as representatives (the
"Representatives") an aggregate of _________ shares of the Company's Common
Stock, $_____ par value (the "Firm Shares"), of which ________ shares will be
sold by the Company and ________ shares will be sold by the Selling
Stockholders. The respective amounts of the Firm Shares to be so purchased by
the several Underwriters are set forth opposite their names in Schedule I
hereto, and the respective amounts to be sold by the Selling Stockholders are
set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto. The Company and the
Selling Stockholders are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the

"Option Shares") as set forth below.

          As the Representatives, you have advised the Company and the Selling
Stockholders (a) that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf
of the several Underwriters, and (b) that the several Underwriters are willing,
acting severally and not jointly, to purchase the numbers of Firm Shares set

Option Shares (to the extent the aforementioned option is exercised) are herein
collectively called the "Shares."

          In consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein and of the
interest of the parties in the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Selling 
          -------------------------------------------------------------
          Stockholders.
          ------------ 

          (a)  The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters
as follows:

               (i)   A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 
333-_______) with respect to the Shares has been carefully prepared by the
Company in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and the Rules and Regulations (the "Rules and Regulations")
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder and has
been filed with the Commission. Copies of such registration statement, including
any amendments thereto, the preliminary prospectuses (meeting the requirements
of the Rules and Regulations) contained therein and the exhibits, financial
statements and schedules, as finally amended and revised, have heretofore been
delivered by the Company to you. Such registration statement, together with any
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Act,
herein referred to as the "Registration Statement," which shall be deemed to
include all information omitted therefrom in reliance upon Rule 430A and
contained in the Prospectus referred to below, has become effective under the
Act and no post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed
as of the date of this Agreement. "Prospectus" means (a) the form of prospectus
first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or (b) the last
preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement filed prior to the
time it becomes effective or filed pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Act that is
delivered by the Company to the Underwriters for delivery to purchasers of the
Shares, together with the term sheet or abbreviated term sheet filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) under the Act. Each preliminary prospectus
included in the Registration Statement prior to the time it becomes effective is
herein referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus."

               (ii)  The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing
as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its
business as described in the Registration Statement. Each of Splash Technology,
Inc. and Splash Technology S.a.r.l. (collectively, the "Subsidiaries") has been
duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with corporate power and
authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described
in the Registration Statement. The Subsidiaries are the only subsidiaries,
direct or indirect, of the Company. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries are
duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of
their business requires such qualification. The outstanding shares of capital
stock of each of the Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued,
are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company or another
Subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and equities and claims;
and no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other
obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligations into shares of
capital stock or ownership interests in the Subsidiaries are outstanding.

<PAGE>
 
               (iii) The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company,
including all shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders, have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the Shares
to be issued and sold by the Company have been duly authorized and when issued
and paid for as contemplated herein will be validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable; and no preemptive rights of stockholders exist with respect to any
of the Shares or the issue and sale thereof. Neither the filing of the
Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Shares as contemplated by
this Agreement gives rise to any rights, other than those that have been waived
or satisfied, for or relating to the registration of any shares of Common Stock.

               (iv)  The information set forth under the caption
"Capitalization" in the Prospectus is true and correct. All of the Shares
conform to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement. The
form of certificates for the Shares conforms to the corporate law of the
jurisdiction of the Company's incorporation.

               (v)   The Commission has not issued an order preventing or
suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the proposed offering of the
Shares nor instituted proceedings for that purpose. The Registration Statement
contains, and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto will
contain, all statements which are required to be stated therein by, and will
conform, to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto do not contain, and will not
contain, any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit, and will not
omit, to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus and any amendments
and supplements thereto do not contain, and will not contain, any untrue
statement of material fact; and do not omit, and will not omit, to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or
warranties as to information contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance
upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives, specifically for use
in the preparation thereof.

               (vi)  The consolidated financial statements of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, together with related notes and schedules as set forth in the
Registration Statement, present fairly the financial position and the results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and the consolidated Subsidiaries, at
the indicated dates and for the indicated periods. Such financial statements and
related schedules have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied throughout the periods involved,
except as disclosed herein, and all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such periods have been made. The summary financial
and statistical data included in the Registration Statement presents fairly the
information shown therein and such data has been compiled on a basis consistent
with the financial statements presented therein and the books and records of the
Company. The pro forma financial statements and other pro forma financial
information included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus present
fairly the information shown therein, have been prepared in accordance with the
Commission's rules and guidelines with

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
respect to pro forma financial statements, have been properly compiled on the
pro forma bases described therein, and, in the opinion of the Company, the
assumptions used in the preparation thereof are reasonable and the adjustments
used therein are appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances
referred to therein.

               (vii)  Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P., who have certified certain of
the financial statements filed with the Commission as part of the Registration
Statement, are independent public accountants as required by the Act and the
Rules and Regulations.

               (viii) There is no action, suit, claim or proceeding pending or,
to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries before any court or administrative agency or otherwise which if
determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries might result in
any material adverse change in the earnings, business, management, properties,
assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of
the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole or to prevent the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as set forth in the Registration
Statement.

               (ix)   The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable
title to all of the properties and assets reflected in the financial statements
(or as described in the Registration Statement) hereinabove described, subject
to no lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind except those
reflected in such financial statements (or as described in the Registration
Statement) or which are not material in amount. The Company and the Subsidiaries
occupy their leased properties under valid and binding leases conforming in all
material respects to the description thereof set forth in the Registration
Statement.

               (x)    The Company and the Subsidiaries have filed all Federal,
State, local and foreign income tax returns that have been required to be filed
and have paid all taxes indicated by said returns and all assessments received
by them or any of them to the extent that such taxes have become due. All tax
liabilities have been adequately provided for in the financial statements of the
Company.

               (xi)   Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement, as it may be amended or supplemented, there
has not been any material adverse change or any development involving a
prospective material adverse change in or affecting the earnings, business,
management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise), or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
whether or not occurring in the ordinary course of business, and there has not
been any material transaction entered into or any material transaction that is
probable of being entered into by the Company or the Subsidiaries, other than
transactions in the ordinary course of business and changes and transactions
described in the Registration Statement, as it may be amended or supplemented.
The Company and the Subsidiaries have no material contingent obligations that
are not disclosed in the Registration Statement.

               (xii)  Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is or with
the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, will be, in violation of or in
default under its Charter or By-Laws or under any agreement, lease, contract,
indenture or other instrument or obligation to

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
which it is a party or by which it, or any of its properties, is bound and which
violation or default is of material significance in respect of the condition,
financial or otherwise of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or
the business, management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken
as a whole. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions herein contemplated and the fulfillment of the terms hereof
will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or
other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party,
or of the Charter or by-laws of the Company or any order, rule or regulation
applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary of any court or of any regulatory
body or administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction.

               (xiii) Each approval, consent, order, authorization, designation,
declaration or filing by or with any regulatory, administrative or other
governmental body necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by the
Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated (except such additional steps as may be required by the Commission,
the National Association of Securities, Inc. (the "NASD") or such additional
steps as may be necessary to qualify the Shares for public offering by the
Underwriters under state securities or Blue Sky laws) has been obtained or made
and is in full force and effect.

               (xiv)  The Company and each of the Subsidiaries holds all
material licenses, certificates and permits from governmental authorities which
are necessary to the conduct of their businesses; except where the failure to
have such licenses, certificates and permits would not, singly or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition
of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

               (xv)   The Company and each of the Subsidiaries owns or possess
licenses or other rights to use all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, mask work rights, technology know-how and other intellectual
property rights ("Intellectual Property") necessary to conduct the business now
or proposed to be conducted by the Company and each of the Subsidiaries as
described in the Prospectus, and, except as disclosed in the Prospectus, neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement
of or conflict with (or knows of such infringement of or conflict with) asserted
rights of others with respect to the Intellectual Property which, individually
or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in any material
adverse effect upon the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and
the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and, except as disclosed in the Prospectus
and to the knowledge of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, do not in the
conduct of their business as now or proposed to be conducted as described in the
Prospectus, infringe or conflict with any Intellectual Property of any third
party, or any discovery, invention, product or process which is the subject of a
patent application filed by any thirty party, known to the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries.

               (xvi)  Neither the Company, nor to the Company's best knowledge,
any of its affiliates, has taken or may take, directly or indirectly, any action
designed to cause or

                                       5

result in, or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to
constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the shares of
Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares. The Company
acknowledges that the Underwriters may engage in passive market making
transactions in the Shares on The Nasdaq National Market in accordance with Rule
10b-6A under the Exchange Act.

               (xvii)   Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is an "investment
company" within the meaning of such term under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

               (xviii)  The Company maintains a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are
executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; (ii)
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and (iv) the
recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at
reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.

               (xix)    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries carry, or are
covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as is adequate for
the conduct of their respective businesses and the value of their respective
properties and as is customary for companies engaged in similar industries.

               (xx)     The Company is in compliance in all material respects
with all presently applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder ("ERISA"); no "reportable event" (as defined in
ERISA) has occurred with respect to any "pension plan" (as defined in ERISA) for
which the Company would have any liability; the Company has not incurred and
does not expect to incur liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to
termination of, or withdrawal from, any "pension plan" or (i) Sections 412 or
4971 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including the regulations
and published interpretations thereunder (the "Code"); and each "pension plan"
for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified
under Section 401(a) of the code is so qualified in all material respects and
nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause
the loss of such qualification.

               (xxi)    The Company has obtained the agreement of each of its
officers, directors and holders of the Company's outstanding capital stock, not
to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or other rights to purchase Common
Stock of the Company for a period of 180 days after the effective date of the
Registration Statement without the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons
Incorporated. The Company has further entered into an agreement with each of the
holders of its securities restricting the sale or other disposition of said
securities and the Company will not permit any

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
sale or disposition of such securities for a period of 180 days after the
effective date of the Registration Statement, directly or indirectly, except
with the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated.

               (xxii)   The Company confirms as of the date hereof that it is in
compliance with all provisions of Section 1 of Laws of Florida, Chapter 92-198,
An Act Relating to Disclosure of doing Business with Cuba, and the Company 
- ---------------------------------------------------------  
further agrees that if it commences engaging in business with the government of
Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in Cuba after the date the
Registration Statement becomes or has become effective with the Commission or
with the Florida Department of Banking and Finance (the "Department"), whichever
date is later, or if the information reported or incorporated by reference in
the Prospectus, if any, concerning the Company's business with Cuba or with any
person or affiliate located in Cuba changes in any material way, the Company
will provide the Department notice of such business or change, as appropriate,
in a form acceptable to the Department.

          (b)  Each of the Selling Stockholders severally represents and
warrants as follows:

               (i)      Such Selling Stockholder now has and at the Closing Date
(as such date is hereinafter defined) will have good and marketable title to the
Firm Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder, free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances, equities and claims, and full right, power and authority to effect
the sale and delivery of such Firm Shares; and upon the delivery of, against
payment for, such Firm Shares pursuant to this Agreement, the Underwriters will
acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any liens,
encumbrances, equities and claims.

               (ii)     Such Selling Stockholder has full right, power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Power of Attorney, and the
Custodian Agreement referred to below and to perform its obligations under such
Agreements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by
such Selling Stockholder of the transactions herein contemplated and the
fulfillment by such Selling Stockholder of the terms hereof will not require any
consent, approval, authorization, or other order of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental body (except as may be required
under the Act, state securities laws or Blue Sky laws) and will not result in a
breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under,
organizational documents of such Selling Stockholder, if not an individual, or
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement or instrument to which
such Selling Stockholder is a party, or of any order, rule or regulation
applicable to such Selling Stockholder of any court or of any regulatory body or
administrative agency or other governmental body having jurisdiction.

               (iii)    Such Selling Stockholder has not taken and will not
take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or which has constituted,

permitted by the Act, the Selling Stockholder will not distribute any prospectus
or other offering material in connection with the offering of the Shares.

                                       7

               (iv)     Without having undertaken to determine independently the
accuracy or completeness of either the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein or the information contained in the Registration
Statement, such Selling Stockholder has no reason to believe that the
representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Section 1 are
not true and correct, is familiar with the Registration Statement and has no
knowledge of any material fact, condition or information not disclosed in the
Registration Statement which has adversely affected or may adversely affect the
business of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; and the sale of the Firm
Shares by such Selling Stockholder pursuant hereto is not prompted by any
information concerning the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which is not set
forth in the Registration Statement. The information pertaining to such Selling
Stockholder under the caption "Principal and Selling Stockholders" in the
Prospectus is complete and accurate in all material respects.

     2.   Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Firm Shares.
          ---------------------------------------------- 

          (a)  On the basis of the representations, warranties and covenants
herein contained, and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Sellers
agree to sell to the Underwriters and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not
jointly, to purchase, at a price of $_____ per share, the number of Firm Shares
set forth opposite the name of each Underwriter in Schedule I hereof, subject to
adjustments in accordance with Section 9 hereof. The number of Firm Shares to he
purchased by each Underwriter from each Seller shall be as nearly as practicable
in the same proportion to the total number of Firm Shares being sold by each
Seller as the number of Firm Shares being purchased by each Underwriter bears to
the total number of Firm Shares to be sold hereunder. The obligations of the
Company and of each of the Selling Stockholders shall be several and not joint.

          (b)  Certificates in negotiable form for the total number of the
Shares to be sold hereunder by the Selling Stockholders have been placed in
custody with _______________ as custodian (the "Custodian") pursuant to the
Custodian Agreement executed by each Selling Stockholder for delivery of all
Firm Shares to be sold hereunder by the Selling Stockholders. Each of the
Selling Stockholders specifically agrees that the Firm Shares represented by the
certificates held in custody for the Selling Stockholders under the Custodian
Agreement are subject to the interests of the Underwriters hereunder, that the
arrangements made by the Selling Stockholders for such custody are to that
extent irrevocable, and that the obligations of the Selling Stockholders
hereunder shall not be terminable by any act or deed of the Selling Stockholders
(or by any other person, firm or corporation including the Company, the
Custodian or the Underwriters) or by operation of law (including the death of an
individual Selling Stockholder or the dissolution of a corporate Selling
Stockholder) or by the occurrence of any other event or events, except as set
forth in the Custodian Agreement. If any such event should occur prior to the
delivery of the Underwriters of the Firm Shares or the Option Shares hereunder,
certificates for the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, as the case may be, shall
be delivered by the Custodian in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement as if such event has not occurred. The Custodian is authorized to
receive and acknowledge receipt of the proceeds of sale of the Shares held by it
against delivery of such Shares.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
          (c)  Payment for the Firm Shares to be sold hereunder is to be made in
New York Clearing House funds by certified or bank cashier's checks drawn to the
order of the Company for the shares to be sold by it and to the order of
_____________, "as Custodian" for the shares to be sold by the Selling
Stockholders, in each case against delivery of certificates therefor to the
Representatives for the several accounts of the Underwriters. Such payment and
delivery are to be made at the offices of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated, 135
East Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland, at 10:00 a.m., Baltimore time, on
the third business day after the date of this Agreement or at such other time
and date not later than five business days thereafter as you and the Company
shall agree upon, such time and date being herein referred to as the "Closing
Date." (As used herein, "business day" means a day on which the New York Stock
Exchange is open for trading and on which banks in New York are open for
business and not permitted by law or executive order to be closed.) The
certificates for the Firm Shares will be delivered in such denominations and in
such registrations as the Representatives request in writing not later than the
second full business day prior to the Closing Date, and will be made available
for inspection by the Representatives at least one business day prior to the
Closing Date.

          (d)  In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Company hereby grants an option to the several Underwriters to purchase the
Option Shares at the price per share as set forth in the first paragraph of this
Section 2. The option granted hereby may be exercised in whole or in part by
giving written notice (i) at any time before the Closing Date and (ii) only once
thereafter within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, by you, as
Representatives of the several Underwriters, to the Company, setting forth the
number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are exercising the
option, the names and denominations in which the Option Shares are to be
registered and the time and date at which such certificates are to be delivered.
The time and date at which certificates for Option Shares are to be delivered
shall be determined by the Representatives but shall not be earlier than three
nor later than 10 full business days after the exercise of such option, nor in
any event prior to the Closing Date (such time and date being herein referred to
as the "Option Closing Date"). If the date of exercise of the option is three or
more days before the Closing Date, the notice of exercise shall set the Closing
Date as the Option Closing Date. The number of Option Shares to be purchased by
each Underwriter shall be in the same proportion to the total number of Option
Shares being purchased as the number of Firm Shares being purchased by such
Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares, adjusted by you in such
manner as to avoid fractional shares. The option with respect to the Option
Shares granted hereunder may be exercised only to cover over-allotments in the
sale of the Firm Shares by the Underwriters. You, as Representatives of the
several Underwriters, may cancel such option at any time prior to its expiration
by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Company. To the extent, if
any, that the option is exercised, payment for the Option Shares shall be made
on the Option Closing Date in New York Clearing House funds by certified or bank
cashier's check drawn to the order of the Company against delivery of
certificates therefor at the offices of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated, 135
East Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland.

          (e)  If on the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may
be, any Selling Stockholder fails to sell the Firm Shares which such Selling
Stockholder has agreed to

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
sell on such date as set forth in Schedule II hereto, the Company agrees that it
                                  -----------                    
will sell or arrange for the sale of that number of shares of Common Stock to
the Underwriters which represents Firm Shares which such Selling Stockholder has
failed to so sell, as set forth in Schedule II hereto, or such lesser number as 
                                   -----------                
may be requested by the Representatives.

     3.   Offering by the Underwriters.
          ---------------------------- 

          It is understood that the several Underwriters are to make a public
offering of the Firm Shares as soon as the Representatives deem it advisable to
do so. The Firm Shares are to be initially offered to the public at the initial
public offering price set forth in the Prospectus. The Representatives may from
time to time thereafter change the public offering price and other selling
terms. To the extent, if at all, that any Option Shares are purchased pursuant
to Section 2 hereof, the Underwriters will offer them to the public on the
foregoing terms.

          It is further understood that you will act as the Representatives for
the Underwriters in the offering and sale of the Shares in accordance with a
Master Agreement Among Underwriters entered into by you and the several other
Underwriters.

     4.   Covenants of the Company and the Selling Stockholders.
          ----------------------------------------------------- 

          (a)  The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters
that:

               (i)    The Company will (A) use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective or, if the procedure in Rule 430A of
the Rules and Regulations is followed, to prepare and timely file with the
Commission under Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations a Prospectus in a form
approved by the Representatives containing information previously omitted at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on Rule 430A of
the Rules and Regulations, and (B) not file any amendment to the Registration
Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of which the Representatives shall not
previously have been advised and furnished with a copy or to which the
Representatives shall have reasonably objected in writing or which is not in
compliance with the Rules and Regulations.

               (ii)   The Company will advise the Representatives promptly (A)
when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto shall
have become effective, (B) of receipt of any comments from the Commission, (C)
of any request of the Commission for amendment of the Registration Statement or
for supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, and (D) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus or of the institution of
any proceedings for that purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any such stop order preventing or suspending the use of
the Prospectus and to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof, if issued.

               (iii)  The Company will cooperate with the Representatives in
endeavoring to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably have designated in writing
and will make such applications, file such documents, and furnish such
information as may be reasonably required for that purpose,

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
provided the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation
or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it
is not now so qualified or required to file such a consent. The Company will,
from time to time, prepare and file such statements, reports and other
documents, as are or may be required to continue such qualifications in effect
for so long a period as the Representatives may reasonably request for
distribution of the Shares.

               (iv)   The Company will deliver to, or upon the order of, the
Representatives, from time to time, as many copies of any Preliminary Prospectus
as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will deliver to, or
upon the order of, the Representatives during the period when delivery of a
Prospectus is required under the Act, as many copies of the Prospectus in final
form, or as thereafter amended or supplemented, as the Representatives may
reasonably request. The Company will deliver to the Representatives at or before
the Closing Date, four signed copies of the Registration Statement and all
amendments thereto including all exhibits filed therewith, and will deliver to
the Representatives such number of copies of the Registration Statement
(including such number of copies of the exhibits filed therewith that may
reasonably be requested), and of all amendments thereto, as the Representatives
may reasonably request.

               (v)    The Company will comply with the Act and the Rules and
Regulations, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, so as to permit the
completion of the distribution of the shares as contemplated in this Agreement
and the Prospectus. If during the period in which a prospectus is required by
law to be delivered by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur as a
result of which, in the judgment of the Company or in the reasonable opinion of
the Underwriters, it becomes necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing
at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or, if
it is necessary at any time to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with
any law, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the Commission an
appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the
Prospectus so that the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the
light of the circumstances when it is so delivered, be misleading, or so that
the Prospectus will comply with the law.

               (vi)   the Company will make generally available to its security
holders, as soon as it is practicable to do so, but in any event no later than
15 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earning
statement (which need not be audited) in reasonable detail, covering a period of
at least 12 consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
Registration Statement, which earning statement shall satisfy the requirements
of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations and will
advise you in writing when such statement has been so made available.

               (vii)  The Company will, for a period of five years from the
Closing Date, deliver to the Representatives copies of annual reports and copies
of all other documents, reports and information furnished by the Company to its
stockholders or filed with any securities

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
exchange pursuant to the requirements of such exchange or with the Commission
pursuant to the Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Company will deliver to the Representatives similar reports with respect to
significant subsidiaries, as that term is defined in the Rules and Regulations,
which are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements.

               (viii)   No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of
any shares of Common Stock of the Company or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or derivative of
Common Stock (or agreement for such) will be made for a period of 180 days after
the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, by the Company otherwise
than hereunder or with the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons
Incorporated except that the Company may, without such consent, issue shares
upon exercise of options issued pursuant to the 1996 Stock Option Plan or the
1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provided that each person who receives such
shares from the Company agrees to similar restrictions on transfer.

               (ix)     The Company will use its best efforts to list, subject
to notice of issuance, the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market.

               (x)      The Company has caused each officer and director and
holders of the Company's outstanding capital stock to furnish to you, on or
prior to the date of this Agreement, a letter or letters, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Underwriters, pursuant to which each such person shall agree
not to offer, sell, sell short or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common
Stock of the Company or other capital stock of the Company, or any other
securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares or
derivative of Common Shares owned by such person or request the registration for
the offer or sale of any of the foregoing (or as to which such person has the
right to direct the disposition of) for a period of 180 days after the date of
this Agreement, directly or indirectly, except with the prior written consent of
Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated ("Lockup Agreements"). The Company has further
entered into an agreement with each of the holders of its securities restricting
the sale or other disposition of said securities and the Company will not permit
any sale or disposition of such securities for a period of 180 days after the
effective date of the Registration Statement, directly or indirectly, except
with the prior written consent of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated.

               (xi)     The Company shall apply the net proceeds of its sale of
the Shares as set forth in the Prospectus and shall file such reports with the
Commission with respect to the sale of the Shares and the application of the
proceeds therefrom as may be required in accordance with Rule 463 under the Act.

               (xii)    The Company shall not invest, or otherwise use the
proceeds received by the Company from its sale of the Shares in such a manner as
would require the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to register as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act").

               (xiii)   The Company will maintain a transfer agent and, if
necessary under the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company, a registrar
for the Common Stock.

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
               (xiv)    The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might
reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the
price of any securities of the Company.

          (b)  Each of the Selling Stockholders covenants and agrees with the
several Underwriters that:

               (i)      No offering, sale, short sale or other disposition of
any shares of Common Stock of the Company or other capital stock of the Company
or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or
derivative of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder or request the
registration for the offer or sale of any of the foregoing (or as to which the
Selling Stockholder has the right to direct the disposition of) will be made for
a period of 180 days after the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly,
by such Selling Stockholder otherwise than hereunder or with the prior written
consent of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated.

               (ii)     In order to document the Underwriters' compliance with
the reporting and withholding provisions of the Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act of 1982 and the Interest and Dividend Tax Compliance Act of
1983 with respect to the transactions herein contemplated, each of the Selling
Stockholders agrees to deliver to you prior to or at the Closing Date a properly
completed and executed United States Treasury Department Form W-9 (or other
applicable form or statement specified by Treasury Department regulations in
lieu thereof).

               (iii)    Such Selling Stockholder will not take, directly or
indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted
or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation
of the price of any securities of the Company.

     5.   Costs and Expenses.
          ------------------ 

          The Company will pay all costs, expenses and fees incident to the
performance of the obligations of the Sellers under this Agreement, including,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following: accounting fees
of the Company; the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the
Selling Stockholders; the cost of printing and delivering to, or as requested
by, the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement, Preliminary
Prospectuses, the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Underwriters' Selling
Memorandum, the Underwriters' Invitation Letter, the Listing Application, the
Blue Sky Survey and any supplements or amendments thereto; the filing fees of
the Commission; the filing fees and expenses (including legal fees and
disbursements) incident to securing any required review by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") of the terms of the sale of
the Shares; the Listing Fee of the Nasdaq National Market; and the expenses,
including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, incurred
in connection with the qualification of the Shares under State securities or
Blue Sky laws. Any transfer taxes imposed on the sale of the Share to the
several Underwriters will be paid by the Sellers pro rata. The Company agrees to
pay all costs and expenses of the Underwriters, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, incident to the offer and sale of
directed shares of the Common Stock by

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
the Underwriters to employees and persons having business relationships with the
Company and its Subsidiaries. The Sellers shall not, however, be required to pay
for any of the Underwriters expenses (other than those related to qualification
under NASD regulation and State securities or Blue Sky laws) except that, if
this Agreement shall not be consummated because the conditions in Section 6
hereof are not satisfied, or because this Agreement is terminated by the
Representatives pursuant to Section 11 hereof, or by reason of any failure,
refusal or inability on the part of the Company or the Selling Stockholders to
perform any undertaking or satisfy any condition of this Agreement or to comply
with any of the terms hereof on their part to be performed, unless such failure
to satisfy said condition or to comply with said terms be due to the default or
omission of any Underwriter, then the Company shall reimburse the several
Underwriters for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and
disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred in connection with investigating,
marketing and proposing to market the Shares or in contemplation of performing
their obligations hereunder; but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall
not in any event be liable to any of the several Underwriters for damages on
account of loss of anticipated profits from the sale by them of the Shares.

     6.   Conditions of Obligations of the Underwriters.
          --------------------------------------------- 

          The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Firm
Shares on the Closing Date and the Option Shares, if any, on the Option Closing
Date are subject to the accuracy, as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing
Date, as the case may be, of the representations and warranties of the Company
and the Selling Stockholders contained herein, and to the performance by the
Company and the Selling Stockholders of their covenants and obligations
hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

          (a)  The Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments
thereto shall have become effective and any and all filings required by Rule 424
and Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations shall have been made, and any request
of the Commission for additional information (to be included in the Registration
Statement or otherwise) shall have been disclosed to the Representatives and
complied with to their reasonable satisfaction. No stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, shall
have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been taken or,
to the knowledge of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, shall be
contemplated by the Commission and no injunction, restraining order, or order of
any nature by a Federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have been
issued as of the Closing Date which would prevent the issuance of the Shares.

          (b)  The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date or
the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the opinion of Wilson Sonsini
Goodrich & Rosati, P.C., counsel for the Company and the Selling Stockholders,

obligating the Company to issue any shares of its capital stock or any

and Blue Sky laws as to which such counsel need express no opinion) except such
as have been obtained or made, specifying the same.

               (xii)    The Company is not, and will not become, as a result of
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and
application of the net

all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims.

          In rendering such opinion Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. may
rely as to matters governed by the laws of states other than California,
Delaware or Federal laws on local counsel in such jurisdictions, provided that
in each case Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. shall state that they
believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying on such other
counsel. In addition to the matters set forth above, such opinion shall also
include a statement to the effect that nothing has come to the attention of such
counsel which leads them to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the
time it became effective under the Act (but after giving effect to any
modifications incorporated therein pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) and as
of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and (ii) the Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, on the date it was filed
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations and as of the Closing Date or the Option
Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to financial
statements, financial data, schedules and statistical information therein). With
respect to such statement, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, P.C. may state that
their belief is based upon the procedures set forth therein, but is without
independent check and verification.

          Fenwick & West, LLP, patent counsel for the Company, shall have
furnished to the Representatives its written opinion, addressed to the
Underwriters and dated the First Delivery Date, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that such counsel is familiar
with the technology used by the Company in its business and the manner of its
use thereof and has read the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,
including particularly the portions of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus referring to patents and trade secrets, and:

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
               (i)    to the best of such counsel's knowledge and except as set
forth in the Prospectus under the captions "Risk Factors-Dependence on
Proprietary Technology" and "Business--Intellectual Property," there are no
legal or governmental proceedings pending relating to patent rights or trade
secrets, of the Company, and to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no such
proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or
others;

               (ii)   except as set forth in the Prospectus, to the best of such
counsel's knowledge, the Company is not infringing or otherwise violating any
patents or trade secrets of others.

          (d)  The Representatives shall have received from Gunderson Dettmer
Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, an
opinion dated the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
substantially to the effect specified in subparagraphs (iv) and (v) of Paragraph
(b) of this Section 6, and that the Company is a duly organized and validly
existing corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware. In rendering such
opinion Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP may rely
as to all matters governed other than by the laws of the States of California
and Delaware or Federal laws on the opinion of counsel referred to in Paragraph
(b) of this Section 6. In addition to the matters set forth above, such opinion
shall also include a statement to the effect that nothing has come to the
attention of such counsel which leads them to believe that (i) the Registration
Statement, or any amendment thereto, as of the time it became effective under
the Act (but after giving effect to any modifications incorporated therein
pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act) as of the Closing Date or the Option
Closing Date, as the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) the
Prospectus, or any supplement thereto, on the date it was filed pursuant to the
Rules and Regulations and as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as
the case may be, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact, necessary in order to make the statements, in the light
of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (except that such
counsel need express no view as to financial statements, financial data,
schedules and statistical information therein). With respect to such statement,
Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP may state that
their belief is based upon the procedures set forth therein, but is without
independent check and verification.

          (e)  The Representatives shall have received at or prior to the
Closing Date from Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP
a memorandum or summary, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Representatives, with respect to the qualification for offering and sale by the
Underwriters of the Shares under the State securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably have designated to the
Company.

          (f)  The Representatives shall have received, on each of the dates
hereon, the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a
letter dated the date hereof, the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as
the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
to you, of Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P. confirming that they are independent public
accountants within the meaning of the Act and the applicable published Rules and
Regulations thereunder and stating that in their opinion the financial
statements and schedules examined by them and included in the Registration
Statement comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements of the Act and the related published Rules and Regulations; and
containing such other statements and information as is ordinarily included in
accountants' "comfort letters" to Underwriters with respect to the financial
statements and certain financial and statistical information contained in the
Registration Statement and Prospectus.

          (g)  The Representatives shall have received on the Closing Date or
the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, a certificate or certificates of
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to
the effect that, as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, each of them severally represents as follows:

               (i)    The Registration Statement has become effective under the
Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
has been issued, and no proceedings for such purpose have been taken or are, to
his knowledge, contemplated by the Commission;

               (ii)   The representations and warranties of the Company
contained in Section 1 hereof are true and correct as of the Closing Date or the
Option Closing Date, as the case may be;

               (iii)  All filings required to have been made pursuant to Rules
424 or 430A under the Act have been made;

               (iv)   He or she has carefully examined the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and, in his or her opinion, as of the effective
date of the Registration Statement, the statements contained in the Registration
Statement were true and correct, and such Registration Statement and Prospectus
did not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and since the effective
date of the Registration Statement, no event has occurred which should have been
set forth in a supplement to or an amendment of the Prospectus which has not
been so set forth in such supplement or amendment; and

               (v)    Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, there has not been any
material adverse change or any development involving a prospective material
adverse change in or affecting the condition, financial or otherwise, of the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the earnings, business,
management, properties, assets, rights, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business.

          (h)  The Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have furnished to
the Representatives such further certificates and documents confirming the
representations and

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
warranties, covenants and conditions contained herein and related matters as the
Representatives may reasonably have requested.

          (i)  The Firm Shares and Option Shares, if any, have been approved for
designation upon notice of issuance on the Nasdaq National Market.

          (j)  The Lockup Agreements described in Section 4(a)(x) are in full
force and effect.

          The opinions and certificates mentioned in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be in compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are in all
material respects satisfactory to the Representatives and to Gunderson Dettmer
Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP, counsel for the Underwriters.

          If any of the conditions hereinabove provided for in this Section 6
shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement to be
fulfilled, the obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by
the Representatives by notifying the Company of such termination in writing or
by telegram at or prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the
case may be.

          In such event, the Selling Stockholders, the Company and the
Underwriters shall not be under any obligation to each other (except to the
extent provided in Sections 5 and 8 hereof).

     7.   Conditions of the Obligations of the Sellers.
          -------------------------------------------- 

          (a)  The obligations of the Sellers to sell and deliver the portion of
the Shares required to be delivered as and when specified in this Agreement are
subject to the conditions that at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date,
as the case may be, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement shall have been issued and in effect or proceedings
therefor initiated or threatened.

     8.   Indemnification.
          --------------- 

          (a)  The Company and the Selling Stockholders, jointly and severally,
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter or any such controlling
person may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling person
upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Underwriter or such controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending any such

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
loss, claim, damage or liability, action or proceeding or in responding to a
subpoena or governmental inquiry related to the offering of the Shares, whether
or not such Underwriter or controlling person is a party to any action or
proceeding; provided, however, that the Company and the Selling Stockholders
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or such
amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives
specifically for use in the preparation thereof. In no event, however, shall the
liability of any Selling Stockholder for indemnification under this Section 8(a)
exceed the proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the Underwriters
in the offering. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
which the Company or the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have.

          (b)  Each Underwriter severally and not jointly will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have
signed the Registration Statement, the Selling Stockholders, and each person, if
any, who controls the Company or the Selling Stockholders within the meaning of
the Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company
or any such director, officer, Selling Stockholder or controlling person may
become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) the
omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director,
officer, Selling Stockholder or controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or
proceeding; provided, however, that each Underwriter will be liable in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission has been made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or such
amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or through the Representatives
specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which such Underwriter may otherwise have.

          (c)  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to this Section 8, such person (the "indemnified party") shall
promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying party") in writing. No indemnification provided for in Section
8(a) or (b) shall be available to any party who shall fail to give notice as
provided in this Section 8(c) if the party to whom notice was not given was
unaware of the proceeding to which such notice would have related and was
materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice, but the failure to
give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party or parties from any
liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party for contribution or

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
otherwise than on account of the provisions of Section 8(a) or (b). In case any
such proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and
shall pay as incurred the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
indemnifying party shall pay as incurred (or within 30 days of presentation) the
fees and expenses of the counsel retained by the indemnified party in the event
(i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed
to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or
(iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense and employ
counsel acceptable to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time
after notice of commencement of the action. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Such
firm shall be designated in writing by you in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 8(a) and by the Company and the Selling Stockholders in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment
for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified
party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. In addition, the indemnifying party will not, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the
entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding
of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified
party is an actual or potential party to such claim action or proceeding) unless
such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or
proceeding.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 8(a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the
offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately
preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits
but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the
one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on
the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each
case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section
8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in
this Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings
in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), (i) no Underwriter shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and
commissions applicable to the Shares purchased by such Underwriter, and (ii) no
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) no Selling Stockholder
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the lesser of (A) that
proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
indemnified or contributed against equal to the proportion of the total Shares
sold hereunder which is being sold by such Selling Stockholder, or (B) the
proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from the Underwriters in the
offering. The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 8(d) to contribute are
several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not
joint.

          (e)  In any proceeding relating to the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment thereto,
each party against whom contribution may be sought under this Section 8 hereby
consents to the jurisdiction of any court having jurisdiction over any other
contributing party, agrees that process issuing from such court may be served
upon him or it by any other contributing party and consents to the service of
such process and agrees that any other contributing party may join him or it as
an additional defendant in any such proceeding in which such other contributing
party is a party.

          (f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an
indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this
Section 8 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall
remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any
investigation made by or on behalf of

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter, the Company, its
directors or officers or any persons controlling the Company, (ii) acceptance of
any Shares and payment therefor hereunder, and (iii) any termination of this
Agreement. A successor to any Underwriter, or to the Company, its directors or
officers, or any person controlling the Company, shall be entitled to the
benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained
in this Section 8.

     9.   Default By Underwriters.
          ----------------------- 

          If on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
any Underwriter shall fail to purchase and pay for the portion of the Shares
which such Underwriter has agreed to purchase and pay for on such date
(otherwise than by reason of any default on the part of the Company or a Selling
Stockholder), you, as Representatives of the Underwriters, shall use your
reasonable efforts to procure within 36 hours thereafter one or more of the
other Underwriters, or any others, to purchase from the Company and the Selling
Stockholders such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms set forth
herein, the Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, which the
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase. If during such 36
hours you, as such Representatives, shall not have procured such other
Underwriters, or any others, to purchase the Firm Shares or Option Shares, as
the case may be, agreed to be purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters, then (a) if the aggregate number of shares with respect to which
such default shall occur does not exceed 10% of the Firm Shares or Option
Shares, as the case may be, covered hereby, the other Underwriters shall be
obligated, severally, in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm Shares or
Option Shares, as the case may be, which they are obligated to purchase
hereunder, to purchase the Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be,
which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters failed to purchase, or (b) if
the aggregate number of shares of Firm Shares or Option Shares, as the case may
be, with respect to which such default shall occur exceeds 10% of the Firm
Shares or Option Shares, as the case may be, covered hereby, the Company and the
Selling Stockholders or you as the Representatives of the Underwriters will have
the right, by written notice given within the next 36-hour period to the parties
to this Agreement, to terminate this Agreement without liability on the part of
the non-defaulting Underwriters or of the Company or of the Selling Stockholders
except to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof. In the event of a default by
any Underwriter or Underwriters, as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing
Date or Option Closing date, as the case may be, may be postponed for such
period, not exceeding seven days, as you, as Representatives, may determine in
order that the required changes in the Registration Statement or in the
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. The term
"Underwriter" includes any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter. Any
action taken under this Section 9 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter
from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this
Agreement.

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

under the laws of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify:

     1.   The name of the corporation is Splash Technology Holdings, Inc., (the
"Corporation").  The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 20,
1995.

     2.   The restatement herein set forth has been duly approved by the Board
of Directors of the Corporation and by the stockholders of the Corporation

                                  "ARTICLE ONE

                                 ARTICLE THREE
                                 -------------

     The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.  The nature of the business
or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any
lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.


                                  ARTICLE FOUR
                                  ------------

     This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
designated respectively Preferred Stock and Common Stock.  The total number of
shares of Common Stock this Corporation shall have the authority to issue is
50,000,000 shares, and shall have a par value of $0.001 per share ("COMMON"),
and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have
authority to issue is 5,000,000, and shall have a par value of $0.001 per share
("PREFERRED").  Upon the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, each _____ issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be
automatically combined and reconstituted as _____ shares of Common Stock.  No
fractional shares shall be issued.  In lieu thereof, any fractional shares
resulting from the stock split (after aggregating all fractional shares to which
any one stockholder shall be entitled as a result of the split) shall be rounded
to the nearest whole share.  Each share of Common Stock shall continue to have a
par value of $0.001 following such stock split.  Of the authorized Preferred, a
total of 15,246 shares shall be designated Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock
("SERIES A PREFERRED"), and a total of 4,282 shares shall be designated Series B
Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock ("SERIES B PREFERRED"), and the
remaining shares shall be undesignated as to series.

     Any Preferred Stock not previously designated as to series may be issued
from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions
providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do
so being hereby expressly vested in the Board), and such resolution or
resolutions shall also set forth the voting powers, full or limited or none, of
each such series of Preferred Stock and shall fix the designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each such series of Preferred
Stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized to alter the designation, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly
unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions
stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally
fixing the number of shares constituting any series of Preferred Stock, to
increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then
outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of
shares of that series.

     Each share of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, if reacquired by
the Corporation (whether by redemption, repurchase, conversion to Common Stock
or other means), shall upon such reacquisition resume the status of authorized
and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series and available
for designation and issuance by the Corporation in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
     The Corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any
time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for
issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.

     The relative rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or
imposed on the respective classes of the shares of capital stock or the holders
thereof are as follows:

     Section 1.  Liquidation Rights.
     ----------  ------------------ 

     (a)  Liquidation Preferences.  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
          -----------------------                                               
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (or the
deemed occurrence of such event pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 1),
the holders of each share of Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior and
in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or property of the
Corporation to the holders of the Common by reason of their ownership thereof,
an amount equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per share for each share of
Preferred then held by them and, in addition, an amount equal to any dividends
previously accrued or declared but unpaid on such share of Preferred.

     All of the preferential amount to be paid to the holders of the Series A
Preferred under this subsection 1(a) shall be paid or set apart for payment
before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the
distribution of any assets of the Corporation to, the holders of the Series B
Preferred or the Common in connection with any such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up.  All of the preferential amount to be paid to the holders of the
Series B Preferred under this subsection 1(a) shall be paid or set apart for
payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or
the distribution of any assets of the Corporation to, the holders of the Common
in connection with any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.  After the
payment or the setting apart for pay  ment to the holders of the Series A
Preferred and Series B Preferred and of the preferential amounts so payable to
them, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution shall
be distrib  uted in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section 1.

     If the assets or property to be distributed are insufficient to permit the
payment to holders of the Series A Preferred of their full preferential amount,
the entire assets and property legally available for distribution shall be
distributed ratably among the holders of Series A Preferred in proportion to the
full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.  If
assets and property are remaining and legally available for distribution to the
Series B Preferred after distri  bution to the Series A Preferred but are
insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred of
their full preferential amount, the entire assets and property legally available
for distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred shall be distributed
ratably among the holders of the Series B Preferred in proportion to the full
preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

     (b)  Distributions after Payment of Liquidation Preference.  After the
          -----------------------------------------------------            
payment or setting apart for payment to the holders of Preferred of the
preferential amounts set forth in subsection (a) 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
above, the holders of Common shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets
of the Corporation available for distribution.

     (c)  Effect of Merger.  For purposes of this Section 1, a merger or
          ----------------                                              
consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other Corporation or
Corporations (except where a majority of the out  standing equity securities of
the surviving Corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held
by persons who were stockholders of this Corporation immediately prior to the
merger or consolidation), or a sale or other transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation (or any series of related transactions
resulting in the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Corporation), shall be treated as a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up.

     (d)  Consent.  Each holder of an outstanding share of Preferred shall be
          -------                                                            
deemed to have consented, for purposes of Sections 151 and 160 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, to distributions made by the Corporation in connection
with the repurchase of shares of Common issued to or held by employees or
consultants upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to
agreements between the Corporation and such persons providing for the
Corporation's right of said repurchase.

     Section   Conversion Rights.  The holders of the Series B Preferred shall
     --------  -----------------                                              
have conversion rights as follows (the "CONVERSION RIGHTS"):

     (a)  Right to Convert.  Each share of Series B Preferred shall be
          ----------------                                            
convertible, without the payment of any additional consideration by the holder
thereof and at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of
issuance of such share, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent
for the Series B Preferred, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common equal to the "CONVERSION AMOUNT," which conversion amount shall
initially be [116.176]/1/.  Such initial Conversion Amount shall be subject to
adjustment, in order to adjust the number of shares of Common into which each
series of the Series B Preferred is convertible, as hereinafter provided.

     (b)  Automatic Conversion.  Each share of Series B Preferred shall
          --------------------                                         
automatically be converted into the number shares of Common as determined by its
then effective Conversion Amount upon (A) the closing ("CLOSING") of a firm
commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and
sale of Common for the account of the Corporation to the public at an offering
price to the public of at least [Twelve Dollars ($12.00)]/2/ per share (as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, and like events)
and in which the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Corporation (net of
underwriting discounts) equal or exceed $35,000,000 (a "QUALIFIED OFFERING").
In the event of a Qualified Offering, the person(s) entitled to receive the
Common issuable upon such 

___________________________

/1/ Adjust for stock split.

/2/ Adjust for stock split.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
conversion of the Series B Preferred shall not be deemed to have converted that
Series B Preferred until immediately prior to the Closing, (B) the closing of
merger or consolidation by the Corporation with or into any other corporation in
which the holders of all series of the Corporation's capital stock receive an
aggregate of consideration of at least $50,000,000, or (C) the closing of the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation in
a single transaction or a series of related transactions in which the
Corporation receives aggregate proceeds of at least $50,000,000 (the closing of
such a merger or consolidation or of such a sale or transfer, a "QUALIFIED
MERGER OR SALE").

     (c)  Mechanics of Conversion.  No fractional shares of Common shall be
          -----------------------                                          
issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred.  In lieu of any fractional
shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall
pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the result obtained by dividing
(i) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) by (ii) the then effective Conversion Amount.
Before any holder of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to convert the same
into full shares of Common pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, he shall surrender
the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the
Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred, and shall give
written notice to the Corporation at such office that he elects to convert the
same and shall state therein his name or the name or names of his nominees in
which he wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common to be
issued.  The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and
deliver at such office to such holder of Series B Preferred, or to his nominee
or nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common to
which he shall be entitled as aforesaid, together with cash in lieu of any
fraction of a share.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the
shares of Series B Preferred to be converted, and the person or persons entitled
to receive the shares of Common issuable upon conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common on such
date.

     (d)  Adjustments to Conversion Amount.
          -------------------------------- 

          (i)  Adjustments for Subdivisions, Combinations, Consolidations or
               ---------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Dividends.  In the event the outstanding shares of Common shall be
- ---------------                                                               
subdivision (by stock split or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of
Common, or shares of Common shall have been issued by stock dividend, the
Conversion Amount then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of
such subdivision or stock dividend, be proportionately increased. In the event
the outstanding shares of Common shall be combined or consolidated by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common, the
Conversion Amount then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of
such combination or consolidation, be proportionately decreased.

          (ii) Adjustments for Other Distributions.  In the event the 
               -----------------------------------                            
Corporation any time or from time to time makes, or fixes a record date for the
determination of holders of Common entitled to receive any distribution payable
in securities of the Corporation other than shares of Common, then and in each
such event provision shall be made so that the holders of Series B Preferred
shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of
Common 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
receivable thereupon, the amount of securities of the Corporation which they
would have received had their Series B Preferred been converted into Common on
the date of such event and had they thereafter, during the period from the date
of such event to and including the date of conversion, retained such securities
receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other
adjustments called for during such period under this Section 2 with respect to
the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred. In the event the
Corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons,
evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets
(excluding cash dividends), or options or rights, then, in each such case for
the purpose of this subsection 2(d), the holders of the Series B Preferred shall
be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they
were the holders of the number of shares of Common of the Corporation into which
their shares of Series B Preferred are convertible as of the record date fixed
for the determination of the holders of Common of the Corporation entitled to
receive such distribution.

          (iii) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. 
                -----------------------------------------------------------   
If the Common issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred shall be
changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or
classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for
above), the Conversion Amount then in effect shall, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately
adjusted such that the Series B Preferred shall be convertible into, in lieu of
the number of shares of Common which the holders would otherwise have been
entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock
equivalent to the number of shares of Common that would have been subject to
receipt by the holders upon conversion of the Series B Preferred immediately
before that change.

          (iv)  Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations, or Sales of Assets. 
                -----------------------------------------------------------   
Subject to Section 1(c) hereof, if at any time or from time to time there shall
be a capital reorganization of the Common (other than a subdivision,
combination, reclassification, or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in
this Section 2) or a merger or consolidation of this Corporation with or into
another Corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of this
Corporation's properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale, provision shall be made so that
the holders of the Series B Preferred shall thereafter be entitled to receive
upon conversion of the Series B Preferred, the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of this Corporation, or of the successor
Corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a
holder of Common deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such
capital reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of
Section 2 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred
after the reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale to the end that the
provisions of this Section 2 (including adjustment of the Conversion Amount then
in effect) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable.

     (e)  No Impairment.  The Corporation will not, by amendment of its
          -------------                                                
Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith
assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2 and in the
taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect
the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred against
impairment.

     (f)  Certificate as to Adjustments.  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment
          -----------------------------                                         
or readjustment of the Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 2, the
Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of
Series B Preferred a certificate certified by the Corporation's chief financial
officer setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the
facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Corporation
shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series B Preferred,
furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(i) such adjustments and readjustments and (ii) the Conversion Amount in effect
at that time.

     (g)  Notices of Record Date.  In the event of any taking by the Corporation
          ----------------------                                                
of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of
determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other
than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous
quarters) or other distribution, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of
Series B Preferred at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a
notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend or distribution.

     Section 3.  Redemption.
     ----------  ---------- 

     (a)  Optional Redemption.  At its option and to the extent permitted by
          -------------------                                               
law, the Corporation may redeem all or any, allocated ratably among the holders
thereof, outstanding shares of Series A Preferred.  At its option and to the
extent permitted by law, the Corporation may redeem all or any, allocated
ratably among the holders thereof, outstanding shares of Series B Preferred, but
only if no shares of Series A Preferred are then outstanding.

     (b)  Mandatory Redemption.
          -------------------- 

          (i)  On Liquidity. Upon (A) the Closing of a Qualified Offering, or
               ------------                                                  
(B) a Qualified Merger Or Sale, the Corporation shall redeem all of the shares
of Series A Preferred then outstanding.

          (ii) On Sixth and Seventh Anniversaries - Series B Preferred. To the
               -------------------------------------------------------        
extent permitted by law and only if no shares of Series A Preferred are
outstanding, the Corporation shall redeem, ratably among the holders thereof,
(A) one-half of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred on the sixth
anniversary of the original issue thereof and (B) the remaining outstanding
shares of the Series B Preferred on the seventh anniversary of 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
the original date of issue thereof. In the event that such redemption of the
Series B Preferred is not permitted in whole or in part and only if no shares of
Series A Preferred are outstanding, the Corporation shall, at the sixth
anniversary of the original date of issue or the seventh anniversary of the
original date of issue (as appropriate), redeem, allocated ratably among the
holders thereof, as many shares of Series B Preferred as permitted by law (up to
one-half of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the sixth
anniversary of the original date of issue thereof). In such event, the shares of
Series B Preferred not redeemed shall remain outstanding and be entitled to all
the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when
additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of
shares of Series B Preferred and only if no shares of Series A Preferred are
outstanding, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the
shares which the Corporation has become obligated to redeem but which it has not
redeemed.

     (c)  Redemption Price.  The redemption price for each share of Preferred
          ----------------                                                   
redeemed pursuant to this Section 3 shall be equal to $1,000 per share of
outstanding Preferred plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share,

number of shares of the Preferred Stock, whether pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5 or otherwise, and all dividends or other distributions thereon or
with respect thereto shall be on a pro rata basis in right of payment and in all
other respects for each and every share of such the Preferred Stock (except as
otherwise provided in Section 5(a)), without regard to the identity of the
holder, except as otherwise set forth above.

     (e)  Redemption Notice.  At least 30 days prior to the date(s) fixed for
          -----------------                                                  
redemption (each, a "REDEMPTION DATE"), written notice (the "REDEMPTION NOTICE")
shall be mailed, postage prepaid, by the Corporation to each holder of record of

Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates
representing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in the
Redemption Notice on or before the Redemption Date, and thereupon the applicable
Redemption Price for such shares as set forth in this Section 3 shall be paid to
the order of 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates and each
surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired.

     (g)  No Rights as Stockholder Following Redemption.  If any shares of
          ---------------------------------------------                   
Preferred are not redeemed solely because a holder fails to surrender the
certificate or certificates representing such shares pursuant to Section 3(f)
hereof, then, from and after the Redemption Date, the holders of such shares of
Preferred thereupon subject to redemption shall cease to have any rights of a
holder of Preferred except solely for the right to receive the Redemption Price
upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares.

     Section 4.  Voting Rights.
     ----------  ------------- 

     (a)  General.  Except as otherwise provided herein, or as required by law,

each issued and outstanding share of Common shall be entitled to one vote on all
matters.  Except as required by law or by the provisions hereof, the holders of
the Series B Preferred shall be entitled to vote on all matters with the holders
of the Common on an as if converted basis.  Except as required by law or the
provisions hereof, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall not be entitled
to vote on any matters.

     (b)  Board of Directors.  So long as any shares of Series A Preferred are
          ------------------                                                  
outstanding, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred shall have the
right to elect one director (the "SERIES A DIRECTOR") and the holders of the
shares of Common Stock and the Series B Preferred (voting on an as-if converted
basis), shall have the right to elect the remaining directors.

     (c)  Procedures for the Election of the Series A Director.
          ---------------------------------------------------- 

          (i) The Series A Director shall hold office for a term expiring at the
next annual meeting of stockholders.  Any vacancy caused by the death or
resignation of the Series A Director may be filled only by the holders of Series
A Preferred.  A special meeting of the holders of the Series A Preferred
entitled to vote with respect to filling the vacancy shall be called and held as
promptly as practicable after any such death or resignation at the direction of
a majority of the Board of Directors, and in any event shall be called within
ten days, to be held within 15 days, after receipt of a written request by the

Preferred. In connection with any special meeting to be held for the purpose of
electing the Series A Director to fill a vacancy, only holders of Series A
Preferred shall be notified and be permitted to participate at such meeting. The
holders of record of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of the Series A
Preferred may designate in writing one of their number to call the meeting, and
the meeting may be called by the person so designated upon notice in accordance
with the notice required for annual meetings of stockholders. If any special
meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred required to be called by a holder
of Series A Preferred for the election of directors pursuant to this Section
4(c) shall not have been duly called within ten days after the request therefor,
then the secretary of the Corporation shall call the meeting. Any holders of
shares of Series A Preferred shall have access to the stock record books of the
Corporation for the purpose of so calling 

                                      -9-

a special meeting. The Corporation shall pay the reasonable expenses of calling
and holding any such meeting.

          (ii)  Any special meeting of the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred to vote for the election of directors pursuant to this Section 4(c)
shall be held in the city in which the preceding annual meeting of stockholders
of the Corporation was held or in the city designated by the holders on record
of at least 50% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred. At a
special or annual meeting for the election of directors by the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred, the presence in person, by proxy or by telephone of the
holders of 50% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred entitled to vote
thereon shall constitute a quorum. In connection with any special meeting to be
held for the purpose of electing the Series A Director to fill a vacancy, only
holders of the Series A Preferred shall be notified and be permitted to
participate at such meeting. A majority of the holders of the shares of Series A
Preferred entitled to vote thereon present in person, by proxy or by telephone
shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the purpose of such election,
from time to time without notice, other than announcement at the meeting, until
a quorum shall be present. The election of the Series A Director also may be
accomplished by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of the
Series A Preferred.

          (iii) In connection with any vote for the Series A Director, each
holder of Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein shall be entitled to one
vote for each share of Series A Preferred held by such holder that is then
convertible, the nominees receiving a plurality of the votes entitled to be cast
shall be elected.

     (d)  Class Voting for Directors other than Series A Director.    Following 
          -------------------------------------------------------

effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering the offer and sale of Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering"), all
directors other than the Series A Director shall be divided into three classes
designated as Class I, Class II, and Class III, respectively. Directors shall be
assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the term of office of the Class I
directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of
three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the term of office of the Class II directors
shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three
years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, the term of office of the Class III directors shall
expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years.

whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

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

<PAGE>
 
extent that dividends are properly and legally declared by the Board of

adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, and like events),
payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on Series B
Preferred or Common, when and as declared by the Board of Directors in its
discretion.  Such annual dividend rate shall increase to [Eighty Dollars
($80.00)]/4/ per share of Series A Preferred (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reclassifications, and like events) after January 1, 1998, and
shall further increase to [One Hundred Dollars ($100.00)]/5/ per share of Series
A Preferred (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications,

whether or not earned or declared so that if such dividends in respect of any
previous or current annual dividend period, at the annual rate specified above,
shall not have been paid or declared, the deficiency shall be fully paid to the
holders of Series A Preferred before any dividend or other distribution shall be
paid on or declared and set apart for the holders of the Series B Preferred or
Common.

     (c)  After January 1, 1997, the holders of the Series B Preferred shall be
entitled to receive, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends at
an annual rate of [Sixty Dollars ($60.00)]/6/ per share of outstanding Series B
Preferred (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and
like events), payable in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend
on the Common, when and as declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion.
Such dividends shall be cumulative whether or not earned or declared so that if
such dividends in respect of any previous or current annual dividend period, at
the annual rate specified above, shall not have been paid or declared, the
deficiency shall be fully paid to the holders of Series B Preferred before any
dividend or other distribution shall be paid on or declared and set apart for
the holders of the Common.

     (d)  Dividends may be paid on the Common as and when declared by the Board
of Directors, subject to the prior dividend rights of the Preferred.

          2.1     PLACE OF MEETINGS
                  -----------------

          Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside
the State of Delaware, designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of
any such designation, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the registered
office of the corporation.

          2.2     ANNUAL MEETING
                  --------------

                  (a) The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year
on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors. At the meeting,
directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

                  (b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such
business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (A)
specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at
the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (C) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be
properly brought before an annual meeting by a

<PAGE>
 
stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to
the Secretary of the corporation.  To be timely, such stockholder's notice must
be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary of the corporation not
less than ninety (90) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that less than one-hundred (100) days notice or prior public disclosure of
the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the
stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of
the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made.  A stockholder's
notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder
proposes to bring before the annual meeting:  (i) a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for
conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as
they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such
business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are
beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the
stockholder in such business and (v) any other information that is required to
be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), in such stockholder's
capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder
proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholder's meeting,
stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated
under the 1934 Act.  Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary,
no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this paragraph (b).  The chairman of the annual
meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that
business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph (b), and, if he should so determine, he shall so
declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted.

                  (c) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this paragraph (c) shall be eligible for election as
Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the
corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of
the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote
in the election of Directors at the meeting who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). Such nominations, other than those
made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to
timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation in accordance with
the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.2. Such stockholder's notice
shall set forth (i) as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to
nominate for election or reelection as a Director: (A) the name, age, business
address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or
employment of such person, (C) the class and number of shares of the corporation
which are beneficially owned by such person, (D) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any
other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the
nominations are to be made by the stockholder, and (E) any other information
relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of
proxies for elections of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation such
person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a
nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and (ii) as to such
stockholder giving notice, the information required to be provided pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this

                                      -2-

<PAGE>
 
Section 2.2.  At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by
a stockholder for election as a Director shall furnish to the Secretary of the
corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholder's
notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee.  No person shall be eligible
for election as a Director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (c).  The chairman of the
meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a
nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these
Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting, and
the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

          2.3     SPECIAL MEETING
                  ---------------

          A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the
Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President of the
Corporation. No other person or persons are permitted to call a special meeting.
No business may be conducted at a special meeting other than the business
specified by the Board of Directors as specified in its notice of calling of the
meeting delivered to the Corporation as provided below by Sections 2.4 and 2.5,
the Chairman of the Board, or the President.

          If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the
Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such
meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and
shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or
other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the President, Chief
Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation.  No business may be
transacted at such special meeting except for such business as may properly be
brought before the stockholders and that is specified in such notice.  The
officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the
stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4
and 2.5, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or
persons who called the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than
sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  If the notice is not given
within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons
requesting the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing contained in this paragraph
of this Section 2.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the
time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors
may be held.

          2.4     NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS
                  --------------------------------

          Except as set forth in Section 2.3, all notices of meetings of
stockholders shall be in writing and sent or otherwise given in accordance with
Section 2.5 of these bylaws not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days
before the date of the meeting.  The notice shall specify the place, date, and
hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature
of the business to be transacted (no business other than that specified in the
notice may be transacted) or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those
matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice,

                                      -3-

<PAGE>
 
intends to present for action by the stockholders (but any proper matter may be
presented at the meeting for such action).  The notice of any meeting at which
directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees
who, at the time of the notice, the board intends to present for election.

          2.5     MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE
                  --------------------------------------------

          Written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either
personally or by first-class mail or by facsimile, telegraphic or other written
communication.  Notices not personally delivered shall be sent charges prepaid
and shall be addressed to the stockholder at the address of that stockholder
appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the
corporation for the purpose of notice.  If no such address appears on the
corporation's books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if
sent to that stockholder by mail or telegraphic or other written communication
to the corporation's principal executive office, or if published at least once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where that office is
located.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered
personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of
written communication.

          If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of that
stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the
corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the
United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder
at that address, then all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been
duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the
stockholder on written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive
office of the corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the
giving of the notice.

          An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any
stockholders' meeting, executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any
transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie
evidence of the giving of such notice.

          2.      QUORUM
                  ------

          The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stock  holders for the transaction of
business except as otherwise provided by statute, by the certificate of
incorporation or by the Stockholders Agreement.  If, however, such quorum is not
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the
Chairman of the meeting or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote thereat,
present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the
meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.  At such adjourned meeting at
which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that
might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

          2.7        ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
                     -------------------------

          When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these by-
laws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the
time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is
taken.  At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that
might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for
more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is
fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be
given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

          2.8     CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
                  -------------------

          The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order
of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the
manner of voting and the conduct of business.

          2.9     VOTING
                  ------

          The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall
be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these by-
laws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors
and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

          Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of
incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of
capital stock held by such stockholder.

          2.10  WAIVER OF NOTICE
                ----------------

          Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the
General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or
these by-laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to
notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed
equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for
the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or
convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any
regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written
waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these
by-laws.

          2.11       STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
                     -------------------------------------------------------

          Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any
action required by this chapter to be taken at any annual or special meeting of
stockholders of a corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or
special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the
action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less
than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take
such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted.

          Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting
by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who
have not consented in writing.  If the action which is consented to is such as
would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by stock  holders
at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state,
in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of
stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as
provided in Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

          2.12    RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS
                  -----------------------------------------------------------

          In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled
to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, or entitled to express consent to corpo  rate action in writing without
a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution
or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful
action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall
not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such
meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.

          If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

                  (i)   The record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of
business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if
notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
which the meeting is held.

                 (ii)   The record date for determining stockholders entitled to
express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior
action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the
first written consent is expressed.

                (iii)   The record date for determining stockholders for any
other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>
 
      A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote
at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the
adjourned meeting.

      2.13        PROXIES
                  -------

      Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to
express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may
authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a written
proxy, signed by the stockholder and filed with the Secretary of the
corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3)
years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A proxy
shall be deemed signed if the stockholder's name is placed on the proxy (whether
by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the
stockholder or the stockholder's attorney-in-fact.  The revocability of a proxy
that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

      2.14        LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
                  -------------------------------------

      The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of a corporation shall
prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in
alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be
produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time
thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. Such list shall
presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.


                                  ARTICLE III

                                   DIRECTORS

      3.1         POWERS
                  ------

      Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and
any limitations in the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws relating to
action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares,
the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

<PAGE>
 
      3.2         NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
                  -------------------

      The number of directors which constitute the whole Board of Directors
shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time
by the Board of Directors.

      No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect
of removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

      3.3         ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
                  -------------------------------------------------------

      Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these by-laws, the certificate of
incorporation or the Stockholders Agreement, directors shall be elected at each
annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting.
Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of
incorporation or these by-laws, wherein other qualifications for directors may
be prescribed.  Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy,
shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until
his or her earlier resignation or removal.

      Elections of directors need not be by written ballot.

      3.4         RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
                  -------------------------

      Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the attention
of the Secretary of the corporation.  Subject to the provisions of the
Stockholders Agreement and the certificate of incorporation, when one or more
directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a
majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned,
shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take
effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each
director so chosen shall hold office as provided in this section in the filling
of other vacancies.

      Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, these by-
laws or the Stockholders Agreement:

                  (i)   Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from
any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the
stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director.

                 (ii)   Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or
series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of
the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of
such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors
elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole
remaining director so elected.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>
 
      If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the
corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any
stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder,
or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate
of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with
the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, or may
apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as
provided in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

      If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship,
the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board
(as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of
Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at
least ten (10) percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding
having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be
held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace
the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which
election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable.

      3.5         PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE
                  ----------------------------------------

      The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular
and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

      Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
by-laws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the
Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or
any committee, by means of conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in
person at the meeting.

      3.6         REGULAR MEETINGS
                  ----------------

      Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at
such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the
board.

      3.7         SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE
                  ------------------------

      Special meetings of the Board of Directors for any purpose or purposes may
be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice
President, the Secretary or any one director.

      Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be delivered
personally or by telephone to each director or sent by first-class mail or
telegram, charges prepaid, addressed to each director at that director's address
as it is shown on the records of the corporation.  If the notice is mailed, it
shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four (4) days before the
time of the holding of the meeting.  If the notice is delivered personally or by
telephone or by telegram, it shall be

                                      -9-

<PAGE>
 
delivered personally or by telephone or to the telegraph company at least forty-
eight (48) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice
given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or
to a person at the office of the director who the person giving the notice has
reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director. The notice need
not specify the purpose or the place of the meeting, if the meeting is to be
held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

      3.8         QUORUM
                  ------

      At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the authorized
number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there
is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be
otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of
incorporation.  If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time
to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
is present.

      A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact
business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is
approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

      3.9         WAIVER OF NOTICE
                  ----------------

      Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these by-
laws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.
Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such
meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business
because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to
be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the
directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any
written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation
or these by-laws.

      3.10        BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
                  -------------------------------------------------

      Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting
if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in
writing and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of
the board or committee.

      3.11        FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
                  ----------------------------------

      Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these
by-laws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation
of directors.

      3.12        APPROVAL OF LOANS TO OFFICERS
                  -----------------------------

      The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or
otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its
subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the
corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such
loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the
corporation.  The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without
interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of
Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of
stock of the corporation.  Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to
deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at
common law or under any statute.

      3.13        REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
                  --------------------

      Unless otherwise restricted by statute, and except as otherwise provided
by the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws or the Stockholders
Agreement, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote
at an election of directors; provided, however, that, so long as stockholders of
the corporation are entitled to cumulative voting, if less than the entire board
is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast
against his or her removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then
cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors.

      No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect
of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director's term of
office.

      3.14        CLASSES OF DIRECTORS
                  --------------------

      Following the closing of the corporation's initial public offering
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock
of the corporation (the "Initial Public Offering"), the Directors, other than
the Series A Director (as defined in the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation), shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class
II and Class III, respectively. Such Directors shall be assigned to each class
in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of
the Initial Public Offering, the term of office of the Class I Directors shall
expire and Class I Directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At
the second annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the term of office of the Class II Directors shall expire and
Class II Directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third
annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, the term of office of the Class III Directors shall expire and Class
III Directors shall be elected a full term of three years. At each succeeding
annual
                                     -11

<PAGE>
 
meeting of stockholders, such Directors shall be elected for a full term of
three years to succeed the Directors of the class whose terms expire at such
annual meeting.


      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article, each Director
shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his
earlier death, resignation or removal.  No decrease in the number of Directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent
Director.

                                  ARTICLE IV

                                  COMMITTEES

      4.1         COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS
                  -----------------------

      The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole board, designate one or more committees, with each committee to consist of
one or more of the directors of the corporation.  The board may designate one or
more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent
or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  In the absence or
disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof
present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such
member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of
the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or
disqualified member.  Any such committee, to the extent provided in the
resolution of the Board of Directors or in the by-laws of the corporation, shall
have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in
the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize
the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but
no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) amend the certificate
of incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the
resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted
by the Board of Directors as provided in Section 151(a) of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, fix the designations and any of the preferences or
rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any
distribution of assets of the corporation or the conversion into, or the
exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other
series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the corporation or
fix the number of shares of any series of stock or authorize the increase or
decrease of the shares of any series), (ii) adopt an agreement of merger or
consolidation under Sections 251 or 252 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware, (iii) recommend to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all
or substantially all of the corporation's property and assets, (iv) recommend to
the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a
dissolution, or (v) amend the bylaws of the corporation; and, unless the board
resolution establishing the committee, the by-laws or the certificate of
incorporation expressly so provide, no such committee shall have the power or
authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt
a certificate of ownership and merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware.

Section 3.5 (place of meetings and meetings by telephone), Section 3.6 (regular
meetings), Section 3.7 (special meetings and notice), Section 3.8 (quorum),
Section 3.9 (waiver of notice), and Section 3.10 (action without a meeting),
with such changes in the context of those by-laws as are necessary to substitute
the committee and its members for the Board of Directors and its members;
provided, however, that the time of regular meetings of committees may be
determined either by resolution of the Board of Directors or by resolution of
the committee, that special meetings of committees may also be called by
resolution of the Board of Directors and that notice of special meetings of
committees shall also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the
right to attend all meetings of the committee.  The Board of Directors may adopt
rules for the government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions
of these by-laws.

                                   ARTICLE V

the corporation may require,

                                     -13-

each of whom shall hold office for such period, have such authority, and perform
such duties as are provided in these by-laws or as the Board of Directors may

      5.4         REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF OFFICERS
                  -----------------------------------

      Subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of
employment, any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by an
affirmative vote of the majority of the Board of Directors at any regular or
special meeting of the board or, except in the case of an officer chosen by the
Board of Directors, by any officer upon whom such power of removal may be
conferred by the Board of Directors.

      Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
corporation.  Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of
that notice or at any later time specified in that notice; and, unless otherwise

      Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall,
upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right
during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the
corporation's stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and
records and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  A proper purpose shall mean a
purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder.  In every
instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to
inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or
such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent so to act on
behalf of the stockholder.  The demand under oath shall be directed to the
corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of
business.

complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in
alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of
shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to
the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held,
which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so
specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be

ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a
purpose reasonably related to his position as a director.  The Court of Chancery
is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director
is entitled to the inspection sought.  The Court may summarily order the corpora
tion to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock
ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom.  The Court
may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference
to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem
just and proper.

authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any
contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the

Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency

credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

      The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates,
provided that the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by
resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of
its stock shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply
to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to
the corporation.  Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board
of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request
every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate
signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of
the Board of Directors, or the President or Vice-President, and by the Chief
Financial Officer or an assistant treasurer, or the Secretary or an assistant
secretary of such corporation representing the number of shares registered in
certificate form.  Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a

such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it
may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if the person were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid

any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in
the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the
consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated.
Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall

of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or

face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent
such class or series of stock a statement that the corporation will furnish

rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

surrendered to the corporation and canceled at the same time.  The corporation
may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of
any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate, or the owner's legal representative, to give the
corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made
against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

      8.6         CONSTRUCTION; DEFINITIONS

corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of
any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited
by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however,
that the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power

has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of
the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal by-laws.

     The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.  The nature of the business
or purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Corporation is to engage in any
lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General

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

     This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of shares to be
designated respectively Preferred Stock and Common Stock.  The total number of
shares of Common Stock this Corporation shall have the authority to issue is
50,000,000 shares, and shall have a par value of $0.001 per share ("COMMON"),
and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock this corporation shall have
authority to issue is 5,000,000, and shall have a par value of $0.001 per share
and shall be undesignated as to series ("PREFERRED").

     Any Preferred Stock not previously designated as to series may be issued
from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions
providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do
so being hereby expressly vested in the Board), and such resolution or
resolutions shall also set forth the voting powers, full or limited or none, of
each such series of Preferred Stock and shall fix the designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of each such series of Preferred
Stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized to alter the designation, rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly
unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions
stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally
fixing the number of shares constituting any series of Preferred Stock, to
increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then
outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of
shares of that series.

     Each share of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation, if reacquired by
the Corporation (whether by redemption, repurchase, conversion to Common Stock
or other means), shall upon such reacquisition resume the status of authorized
and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series and available
for designation and issuance by the Corporation in accordance with the
immediately preceding paragraph.

     The Corporation shall from time to time in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware increase the authorized amount of its Common Stock if at any
time the number of shares of Common Stock remaining unissued and available for
issuance shall not be sufficient to permit conversion of the Preferred Stock.

Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board

including the approval, if required, of any stock exchange upon which the Common
Stock is listed, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

          (c)     Effect of Administrator's Decision. All decisions,

            ----------- 

          (a)   Nonstatutory Stock Options may be granted to Employees and
Consultants.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.  An
Employee or Consultant who has been granted an Option may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted additional Options.

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

          (c)   The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with
respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the
Company's right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at
any time, with or without cause.

          (d)   Upon the Company or a successor corporation being subject to
Section 162(m) of the Code or upon the Plan being assumed by a corporation which
is subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, the following limitations shall apply
to grants of Options to Employees:

                  (i)   No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options to purchase more than 100,000 Shares.

                 (ii)   In connection with his or her initial employment, an
Employee may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 100,000 Shares
which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

                (iii)   The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted
proportionately in connection with any change in the Company's capitalization as
described in Section 11.

                 (iv)   If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the
Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction
described in Section 11), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limit
set forth in subsection (i) above. For this purpose, if the exercise price of an
Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the
Option and the grant of a new Option.

      6.    Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
            ------------                                                      
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company, as described

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
in Section 17 of the Plan.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 13 of the Plan.

      7.    Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be the term stated in
            --------------                                                      
the Option Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten
(10) years from the date of grant thereof.  However, in the case of an Incentive
Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns
stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter
term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

      8.    Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
            --------------------------------------- 

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

                 (i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

                        (A)     granted to an Employee who, at the time of the
grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

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

                 (ii)   In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per
Share exercise price shall be determined by the Administrator. In the case of a
Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as "performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant.

                (iii)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted
with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.

          (b)   Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
                ---------------------------------
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be
exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the
Option may be exercised.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
          (c)   The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by
the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be
determined at the time of grant) and may consist entirely of (1) cash, (2)
check, (3) promissory note, (4) other Shares which (x) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the
date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which said Option shall be exercised, (5) delivery of a properly executed
exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and
the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and
delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the
exercise price, or (6) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In
making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the
Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be
reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

      9.    Exercise of Option.
            ------------------ 

            (a)     Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
                    -----------------------------------------------
granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria with respect
to the Company and/or the Optionee, and as shall be permissible under the terms
of the Plan. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options
granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

          An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

          An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company.  Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any
consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8(c) of the Plan.
Until the issuance of Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books
of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right
to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist
with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly upon
exercise of the Option.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other
right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued,
except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

          Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.

            (b)     Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the
                    ----------------------------------------------------
event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee or
Consultant with the Company (but

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
not in the event of an Optionee's change of status from Employee to
Consultant (in which case an Employee's Incentive Stock Option shall
automatically convert to a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the date three (3)
months and one day from the date of such change of status) or from Consultant to
Employee), such Optionee may, but only within such period of time as is
determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case of an
Incentive Stock Option not exceeding three (3) months after the date of such
termination (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the
extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination.  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the
Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such
Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate.

            (c)     Disability of Optionee. In the event of termination of an
                    ----------------------
Optionee's consulting relationship or Continuous Status as an Employee as a
result of his or her disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code),
Optionee may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such
termination (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent
otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent
that Optionee is not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination,
or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within
the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
such Option shall revert to the Plan.

            (d)     Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee,
                    -----------------
the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the
date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee's estate or by a
person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance,
but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at
the date of death. If, at the time of death, the Optionee was not entitled to
exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable
portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If, after death, the
Optionee's estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan.

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

      10.   Non-Transferability of Options. Unless otherwise provided for by the
            ------------------------------
Administrator in the stock option agreement, Options may not be sold, pledged,
assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by
will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
      11.   Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization or Merger.
            ---------------------------------------------------- 

            (a)     Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by
                    -------------------------
the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by
each outstanding Option, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have
been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet
been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or
expiration of an Option, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered
by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting
from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any
convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected
without receipt of consideration." Such adjustment shall be made by the
Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and
conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

            (b)     Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed
                    --------------------------
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each
Optionee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to
have the right to exercise his or her Option until ten (10) days prior to such
transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as
to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the
Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any
Shares purchased upon exercise of an Option shall lapse as to all such Shares,
provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in
the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an
Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action.

            (c)     Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the
                    --------------------
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an
equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, the Optionee shall
fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the
Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the
Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the
Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days
from the date of such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration
of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option shall be
considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or
right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the
consideration

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
(whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or
sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective
date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration,
the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or
sale of assets is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation,
provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option,
for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option, to be solely common
stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to
the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or
sale of assets.

      12.   Time of Granting Options.  The date of grant of an Option shall, for
            ------------------------                                            
all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Board.  Notice
of the determination shall be given to each Employee or Consultant to whom an
Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

      13.   Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
            ------------------------------------- 

            (a)     Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend,
                    -------------------------
alter, suspend or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension
or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Optionee
under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to
the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws, the Company
shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to
such a degree as required.

            (b)     Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or
                    ----------------------------------
termination of the Plan shall not affect Options already granted, and such
Options shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been
amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and
the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee
and the Company.

      14.   Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued
            ----------------------------------                             
pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with
Applicable Laws, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the
Company with respect to such compliance.

          As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned relevant provisions of law.

                                     -10-

      15.   Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
            ---------------------                                             
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

          The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory
body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

      16.   Agreements. Options shall be evidenced by written agreements in such
            ----------
form as the Administrator shall approve from time to time.

      17.   Shareholder Approval.  Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to
            --------------------                                              
approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or
after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained
in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law and the
rules of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock is listed.

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

     1.   Grant of Option.  Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"),
          ---------------                                                    
hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), an
option (the "Option") to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock
(the "Shares") set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per share
set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price") subject to the terms,
definitions and provisions of the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") adopted by
the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference.

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

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

          (i) Right to Exercise.
              ----------------- 

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

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

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

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
               (d) In the event of Optionee's death, disability or other
termination of the employment or consulting relationship, the exercisability of
the Option is governed by Sections 6, 7 and 8 below, subject to the limitation
contained in subsection 2(i)(e).

               (e) In no event may this Option be exercised after the date of
expiration of the term of this Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant.

          (ii) Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be exercisable by written
               ------------------                                              
notice (in the form attached as Exhibit A) which shall state the election to
exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is
being exercised, and such other representations and agreements with respect to
such shares of Common Stock as may be required by the Company pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall be signed by the Optionee
and, together with an executed copy of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement,
if applicable, shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to the
Secretary of the Company.  The written notice and Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price.  This Option
shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written
notice and Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement accompanied by the Exercise
Price.

          No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless
such issuance and such exercise shall comply with all relevant provisions of law
and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be
listed.  Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be
considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is
exercised with respect to such Shares.

     3.   Optionee's Representations.  In the event the Shares purchasable
          --------------------------                                      
pursuant to the exercise of this Option have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised,
Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of
all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment
Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, and shall
read the applicable rules of the Commissioner of Corporations attached to such
Investment Representation Statement.

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

     5.   Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of
          -----------------                                                   
the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:

          (i)   cash; or

          (ii)  check; or

          (iii) surrender of other shares of Common Stock of the Company which
(A) in the case of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Company option,
have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of
surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to
the Exercise Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised; or

          (iv)  to the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a
properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the
Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise
of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required
to pay the Exercise Price.

     6.   Restrictions on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised until such
          ------------------------                                              
time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the
issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of
consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable
federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under
Part 207 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("Regulation G") as
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.  As a condition to the exercise of
this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and
warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

     7.   Termination of Relationship.  In the event an Optionee's Continuous
          ---------------------------                                        
Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates, Optionee may, to the extent the
Option was vested at the date of such termination (the "Termination Date"),
exercise this Option during the Termination Period set out in the Notice of
Grant.  To the extent that Optionee was not vested in this Option at the date of
such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

     8.   Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6
          ----------------------                                              
above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's consulting relationship or
Continuous Status as an Employee as a result of his or her disability, Optionee
may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (and
in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set
forth in the Stock Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent the
Option was vested at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if
such disability is not a "disability" as such term is defined in Section
22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an ISO such ISO shall cease to be treated
as an ISO and shall be treated for tax purposes as an NSO on the ninety-first
(91st) day following such termination.  To the extent that Optionee is not
vested in the Option at the date of termination, or if

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Optionee does not exercise such Option within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

     9.   Death of Optionee.  In the event of termination of Optionee's
          -----------------                                            
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant as a result of the death of
Optionee, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months
following the date of death (but in no event later than the date of expiration
of the term of this Option as set forth in Section 10 below), by Optionee's
estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent the Option was vested at the date of
death.  To the extent that Optionee is not vested in the Option at the date of
death, or if the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the
Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to
the Plan.

     10.  Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be transferred in
          -----------------------------                                        
any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.  The terms of
this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs,
successors and assigns of the Optionee.

     11.  Term of Option.  This Option may be exercised only within the term set
          --------------                                                        
out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in
accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.  The limitations set out
in Section 7 of the Plan regarding Options designated as ISOs and Options
granted to more than ten percent (10%) stockholders shall apply to this Option.

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

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

          (ii)  Exercise of ISO Following Disability.  If the Optionee's
                ------------------------------------                     
Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant terminates as a result of
disability that is not total and permanent disability as defined in Section
22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent permitted on the date of termination, the
Optionee must exercise an ISO within 90 days of such termination for the ISO to
be qualified as an ISO.

          (iii) Exercise of NSO.  There may be a regular federal income tax 
                ---------------                                            
liability and state income tax liability upon the exercise of an NSO. The
Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at
ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.  If
Optionee is an Employee, the Company will be required to withhold from
Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the applicable
taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income
at the time of exercise.  If the Optionee is subject to Section 16 of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, the date of income recognition may be
deferred for up to six months.

          (iv)  Disposition of Shares.  In the case of an NSO, if Shares are
                ---------------------                                     
held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will
be treated as long-term capital gain for federal and state income tax purposes.
In the case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for
at least one year after exercise and are disposed of at least two years after
the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be
treated as long-term capital gain for federal and state income tax purposes. If
Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed of within such one-year period or
within two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on such disposition
will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the
extent of the difference between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (1) the
Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise, or (2) the sale price
of the Shares.

          (v)   Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares.  If the 
                -------------------------------------------------        
Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the
later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one
year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition.  Optionee agrees that Optionee may be
subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by the Optionee.

          (vi)  Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to
                ----------------------------------------------------------------
Nonqualified Stock Options.  With respect to the exercise of a nonqualified
- --------------------------                                                 
stock option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with
the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing
authorities, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
             --------------                                                    
Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be
taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and
their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase.  This will result in a
recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the date of exercise, measured
by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the
Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares.  Absent such an
election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time
or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses.  Optionee is strongly
encouraged to seek the advice of his or her own tax consultants in connection
with the purchase of the Shares and the advisability of filing of the Election
under Section 83(b) and similar tax provisions.  A form of Election under
Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference.

          (vii) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant
                -------------------------------------------------------------
to Incentive Stock Options.  With respect to the exercise of an incentive stock
- --------------------------                                                     
option for unvested Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper
<PAGE>
 
state taxing authorities, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing
                          --------------                                        
pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if
applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price
of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase for
alternative minimum tax purposes.  This will result in a recognition of income
to the Optionee on the date of exercise, for alternative minimum tax purposes,
measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the
time the option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares.  Absent
such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase
Option lapses.  Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her
tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) and similar tax
provisions.  A form of Election under Section 83(b) for alternative minimum tax
purposes is attached hereto as Exhibit C-6 for reference.

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

                                   ---------

                      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

OPTIONEE            :

COMPANY             : SPLASH TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC.

SECURITY            : COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT              :

DATE                :


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

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

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

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

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

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

          (e) Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the
Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the
Securities without the consent of the Commissioner of Corporations of
California.  Optionee has read the applicable Commissioner's Rules with respect
to such restriction, a copy of which is attached.

                                    Signature of Optionee:

   broker-dealer, nor actually present in this state if the sale of such
   securities is not in violation of any securities law of the foreign state,
   territory or country concerned;

      (8)  to a broker-dealer licensed under the Code in a principal
   transaction, or as an underwriter or member of an underwriting syndicate or
   selling group;

      (9)  if the interest sold or transferred is a pledge or other lien given
   by the purchaser to the seller upon a sale of the security for which the
   Commissioner's written consent is obtained or under this rule not required;

      (10) by way of a sale qualified under Sections 25111, 25112, 25113 or

   or by a wholly owned subsidiary of a corporation to such corporation;

      (12) by way of an exchange qualified under Section 25111, 25112 or 25113

      (15) by the State Controller pursuant to the Unclaimed Property Law or by
   the administrator of the unclaimed property law of another state if, in
   either such case, such person (i) discloses to potential purchasers at the
   sale that transfer of the securities is restricted under this rule, (ii)
   delivers to each purchaser a copy of this rule, and (iii) advises the
   Commissioner of the name of each purchaser;

      (16) by a trustee to a successor trustee when such transfer does not
   involve a change in the beneficial ownership of the securities;

      (17)  by way of an offer and sale of outstanding securities in an
   issuer transaction that is subject to the qualification requirement of
   Section 25110 of the Code but exempt from that qualification requirement by

   condition that any certificate evidencing the security issued to such
   transferee shall contain the legend required by this section.

restriction on transfer, whether upon initial issuance or upon any transfer
thereof, shall bear on their face a legend, prominently stamped or printed

                      RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT is made between ____________________________________ (the
"Purchaser") and Splash Technology Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") as of
__________________, 199__.


                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

     (1) Pursuant to the exercise of the stock option granted to Purchaser under
the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan and pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement
(the "Option Agreement") dated ___________ by and between the Company and
Purchaser with respect to such grant, which Option Agreement is hereby
incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to purchase _________ of those
shares which have not become vested under the vesting schedule set forth in the
Option Agreement ("Unvested Shares").  The Unvested Shares and the shares
subject to the Option Agreement which have become vested are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Shares".

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

     1.   Repurchase Option.
          ----------------- 

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

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

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

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

   2.     Transferability of the Shares; Escrow.
          ------------------------------------- 

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

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

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

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

   3.     Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties.  This Agreement shall not affect in
          --------------------------------

Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement.

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

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

          (a) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to Nonqualified
              ---------------------------------------------------------------
Stock Options.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed
- -------------
that, with respect to the exercise of a nonqualified stock option for Unvested
Shares, that unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with the Internal
Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities, within
                                                                        ------

- -------
Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be taxed currently on
any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market
Value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of taxable income to
the Optionee, measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the
Shares, at the time the Company's Repurchase Option lapses over the purchase
price for the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted any tax
consultant(s) Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase of the
Shares or the filing of the Election under Section 83(b) and similar tax
provisions. A form of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit
C-5 for reference.

          (b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased Pursuant to Incentive Stock
              ------------------------------------------------------------------
Options.  Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she has been informed that,
- -------                                                                       
with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option for Unvested Shares,
that unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with
<PAGE>
 
the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, the proper state taxing
authorities, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
             --------------                                                    
Section 83(b) of the Code (and similar state tax provisions if applicable) to be
taxed currently on any difference between the purchase price of the Shares and
their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase, there will be a recognition of
income to the Optionee, for alternative minimum tax purposes, measured by the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the
Company's Repurchase Option lapses over the purchase price for the Shares.
Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted any tax consultant(s) Optionee
deems advisable in connection with the purchase of the Shares or the filing of
the Election under Section 83(b) and similar tax provisions.  A form of Election
under Section 83(b) for alternative minimum tax purposes is attached hereto as
Exhibit C-6 for reference.

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

   9.     Representations.  Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the
          ---------------                                                       
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Purchaser is relying solely on
such advisors and not on any statements or represen  tations of the Company or
any of its agents.  Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be

hereby authorized and directed to hold the documents delivered to you pursuant

between the Company and the undersigned, in accordance with the following
instructions:

     1.   In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company (referred

repurchase option set forth in the Agreement, the Company shall give to
Purchaser and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of stock to
be purchased, the purchase price, and the time for a closing hereunder at the

authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in
accordance with the terms of said notice.

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

being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Company's repurchase option.

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

     4.   Upon written request of the Purchaser, but no more than once per

Within 120 days after cessation of Purchaser's continuous employment by or

deliver to Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate
number of shares held or issued pursuant to the Agreement and not purchased by
the Company or its assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company's repurchase
option.

given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or corporation,
excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly
authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court.

not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or
corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order,
judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside,
vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

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

such counsel reasonable compensation therefor.

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

     14.  It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect
to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the securities held
by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in your possession
without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities until such
disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the
parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has
been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend
any such proceedings.

     15.  Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing
and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit in

        (b) Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no
Employee shall be granted an option under the Plan (i) to the extent that,
immediately after the grant, such Employee (or any other person whose stock
would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code)
would own capital stock of the Company and/or hold outstanding options to
purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of

     5. Participation.
        ------------- 

        (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by
completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form
of Exhibit A to this Plan and filing it with the Company's payroll office prior
to the applicable Enrollment Date.

        (b) Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first
payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the
Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner
terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10 hereof.

     6. Payroll Deductions.
        ------------------ 

        (a) At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement,
he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the
Offering Period in an amount not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Compensation
which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, provided,
however, that for purposes of the first Offering Period, the maximum payroll
deduction shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Compensation which a
participant receives during the first Offering Period.

        (b) All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to
his or her account under the Plan and shall be withheld in whole percentages
only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

        (c) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan
as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or
her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by completing or filing with
the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll
deduction rate. The Board may, in its discretion, limit the number of
participation rate changes during any Offering Period. The change in rate shall
be effective with the first full payroll period following five (5) business days
after the Company's receipt of the new subscription agreement unless the Company
elects to process a given change in participation more quickly. A participant's
subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods
unless terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

        (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply
with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) hereof, a participant's
payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at such time during any
Purchase Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year (the
"Current Purchase Period") that the aggregate of all payroll deductions which
were previously used to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Purchase Period
which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll deductions accumulated
with respect to the Current Purchase Period equal $21,250. Payroll deductions
shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant's subscription
agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase Period which is scheduled

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as
provided in Section 10 hereof.

        (e) At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the
time some or all of the Company's Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed
of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company's federal,
state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the
exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock.  At any time, the
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the participant's
compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding
obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company
any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of
Common Stock by the Employee.

     7. Grant of Option.  On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each
        ---------------                                                       
eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an
option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the
applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company's Common
Stock determined by dividing such Employee's payroll deductions accumulated
prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant's account as of the
Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall
an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Purchase Period, or during an
Offering Period if such Offering Period does not contain Purchase Periods, more
than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the Fair Market Value
of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the Enrollment Date, and provided
further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in
Sections 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in
Section 8 hereof, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10
hereof.  The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

     8. Exercise of Option.
        ------------------ 

        (a) Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section
10 hereof, his or her option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised
automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares
subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable
Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No
fractional shares shall be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a
participant's account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be
retained in the participant's account for the subsequent Purchase Period or
Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in
Section 10 hereof. Any other monies left over in a participant's account after
the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant's
lifetime, a participant's option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable
only by him or her.

        [(b) In the event, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with
respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds 25,000 shares for the
calendar year, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares
remaining below the 25,000 share limit in as uniform a manner as shall be
practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.  Notwithstanding the
above

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
sentence, for purposes of the first Offering Period under the Plan and any other
Exercise Dates in 1997, the 25,000 share limit shall apply separately to each
Exercise Date rather than to the 1997 calendar year.]

     9.  Delivery.  As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on 
         --------                                                            
which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange the delivery to
each participant, as appropriate, of the shares purchased upon exercise of his
or her option.

     10. Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.
         ------------------------------------- 

         (a) A participant may withdraw all but not less than all the payroll
deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or
her option under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in
the form of Exhibit B to this Plan. All of the participant's payroll deductions
credited to his or her account shall be paid to such participant promptly after
receipt of notice of withdrawal and such participant's option for the Offering
Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for
the purchase of shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a participant
withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the
beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to
the Company a new subscription agreement.

         (b) Upon a participant's ceasing to be an Employee, for any reason, he
or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll
deductions credited to such participant's account during the Offering Period but
not yet used to exercise the option shall be returned to such participant or, in
the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under
Section 14 hereof, and such participant's option shall be automatically
terminated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, a participant who receives
payment in lieu of notice of termination of employment shall be treated as
continuing to be an Employee for the participant's customary number of hours per
week of employment during the period in which the participant is subject to such
payment in lieu of notice.

         (c) A participant's withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have
any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which
may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which
commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the participant
withdraws.

     11. Interest.  No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a
         --------                                                          
participant in the Plan.

     12. Stock.
         ----- 

         (a) The maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock which
shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 50,000 shares, subject
to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in
Section 18 hereof. If, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with 
respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the
shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be
practicable and as it shall deter mine to be equitable.

         (b) The participant shall have no interest or voting right in shares
covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

         (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan shall be
registered in the name of the participant or in the name of the participant and
his or her spouse.

     13. Administration.
         -------------- 

         (a) Administrative Body.  The Plan shall be administered by the Board
             -------------------                                          
or a committee of members of the Board appointed by the Board. The Board or its
committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,
interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to
adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan. Every finding, decision and
determination made by the Board or its committee shall, to the full extent
permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties.

         (b) Rule 16b-3 Limitations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
             ----------------------                                  
Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or
any successor provision ("Rule 16b-3") provides specific requirements for the
administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be administered only by
such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3. Unless permitted by Rule 16b-3, no discretion
concerning decisions regarding the Plan shall be afforded to any committee or
person that is not "disinterested" as that term is used in Rule 16b-3.

     14. Designation of Beneficiary.
         -------------------------- 

         (a) A participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the participant's account under
the Plan in the event of such partici pant's death subsequent to an Exercise
Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such participant
of such shares and cash. In addition, a participant may file a written
designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the participant's
account under the Plan in the event of such participant's death prior to
exercise of the option. If a participant is married and the designated
beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such
designation to be effective.

         (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the participant
at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a participant and in
the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at
the time of such participant's death, the Company shall deliver such shares
and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant,
or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of
the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or
cash to the spouse or to any one or more

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or
relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may
designate.

     15. Transferability.  Neither payroll deductions credited to a
         ---------------                                                 
participants' account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or
to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and
distribution or as provided in Section 14 hereof) by the participant. Any such
attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without
effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw
funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof.

     16. Use of Funds.  All payroll deductions received or held by the Company 
         ------------                                              
under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the
Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

     17. Reports.  Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant
         -------                                                     
in the Plan.  Statements of account shall be given to participating Employees at
least annually, which statements shall set forth the amounts of payroll
deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining
cash balance, if any.

     18. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation,
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         Merger or Asset Sale.
         -------------------- 

         (a) Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the
             -------------------------                                        
shareholders of the Company, the Reserves, as well as the price per share and
the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which
has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase
or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a
stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the
number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of
the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of
consideration".  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination
in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly
provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

         (b) Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed 
             --------------------------                           
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods shall terminate
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise
provided by the Board.

         (c) Merger or Asset Sale.  In the event of a proposed sale of all or
             --------------------                                            
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, any Purchase Periods then in progress shall be
shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the "New 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
Exercise Date") and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New
Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company's
proposed sale or merger. The Board shall notify each participant in writing, at
least ten (10) business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise
Date for the participant's option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and
that the participant's option shall be exercised automatically on the New
Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the participant has withdrawn from the
Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof.

          19. Amendment or Termination.
              ------------------------ 

              (a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18 hereof, no such termination can
affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be
terminated by the Board on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the
termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders. Except as provided in Section 18 hereof, no amendment may make any
change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of
any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code
(or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law or regulation),
the Company shall obtain shareholder approval in such a manner and to such a
degree as required.

              (b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any
participant rights may be considered to have been "adversely affected," the
Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit
the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the
amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in
the Company's processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish
reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock
for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant's Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures
as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable
which are consistent with the Plan.

          20. Notices.  All notices or other communications by a participant to
              -------                                                 
the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been
duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

          21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.  Shares shall not be issued
              ----------------------------------                             
with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance
and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable
provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements
of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
          As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require
the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any
such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of
the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

          22. Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to
              ------------                                                      
occur of its adoption by the Board of Directors or its approval by the
shareholders of the Company.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10)
years unless sooner terminated under Section 19 hereof.

_____ Original Application                          Enrollment Date: ___________
_____ Change in Payroll Deduction Rate
_____ Change of Beneficiary(ies)


1.   _____________________________________________________ hereby elects to
     participate in the Splash Technology, Inc.  1996 Employee Stock Purchase
     Plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan") and subscribes to purchase shares
     of the Company's Common Stock in accordance with this Subscription
     Agreement and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.   I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of
     ____% of my Compensation on each payday (from 1 to 20% for the first
     Offering Period) during the Offering Period in accordance with the Employee
     Stock Purchase Plan.  (Please note that no fractional percentages are
     permitted.)

3.   I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the
     purchase of shares of Common Stock at the applicable Purchase Price
     determined in accordance with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  I
     understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
     accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my
     option.

     understand that my participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is in
     all respects subject to the terms of the Plan.  I understand that my

     received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal
     to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such
     shares were purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares.  I
                                                                              -

     The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from my
     compensation the amount necessary to meet any applicable withholding
     obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the
     Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early
     disposition of Common Stock by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time
     after the expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods, I understand
     that I will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
     income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be
     taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the
     lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time
     of such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for the shares, or
     (2) 15% of the fair market value of the shares on the first day of the
     Offering Period.  The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such
     disposition will be taxed as capital gain.

7.   I hereby agree to be bound by the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase
     Plan.  The effectiveness of this Subscription Agreement is dependent upon
     my eligibility to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

8.   In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my
     beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments and shares due me under the
     Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

           (b)     By OEM.  OEM agrees to defend and otherwise hold Adobe
                   ------
harmless from all costs, damages and reasonable attorneys, fees resulting from
all claims by third parties arising from the use, manufacture and distribution
of the CPSI Application Object by OEM and its direct and indirect customers in
any country, worldwide, provided that Adobe gives OEM prompt written notice of
any such claim, tenders to OEM the defense or settlement of any such claim, at
OEM's expense, and cooperates with OEM, at OEM's expense, in defending or
settling such claim. OEM WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ADOBE IF ANY ALLEGED PATENT
OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS OR CLAIM THEREOF ARISE SOLELY AS A RESULT OF THE
CONTENT OF THE ADOBE SOFTWARE.

     11.2  Adobe Software Warranty.  If (a) the Adobe Software for a CPSI
           -----------------------                                       
Application licensed hereunder fails to perform substantially in accordance with
the Documentation in the Development Environment (as specified in the CPSI
Application Appendix for such CPSI Application) from the date on which Adobe
delivers the Adobe Software to OEM and ending one (1) year thereafter (the
"Warranty Period"); (b) such failure is reproducible; and (c) such failure is
reported to Adobe by OEM during the Warranty Period, then Adobe shall, at its
expense, provide a workaround for such failure or, at Adobe's option, provide
OEM with an updated version of the Adobe Software which does not cause such
failure.  This warranty shall not apply to any software modified by OEM or any
third party, or to any failure caused by hardware or software not provided by
Adobe.  If OEM reports a failure to Adobe, and Adobe reasonably determines that
such failure was not caused by the Adobe Software, then Adobe shall have no
further obligations with respect to such report, and OEM agrees to pay Adobe's
reasonable costs in making such determination.

     11.3  Limitations on Warranties.  The foregoing warranties by Adobe are
           -------------------------

WARRANTY AND IS THE ONLY WARRANTY MADE BY ADOBE. OEM SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO
MAKE OR PASS ON, AND SHALL TAKE ALL MEASURES NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT NEITHER IT

receives a written request from OEM, it will provide OEM with such Internal
Improvements without charge.  OEM may distribute such Internal Improvements to
licensed End Users who have paid the applicable per copy royalties for use with
previously distributed copies of the CPSI Application Object without payment of

DAMAGES AND EVEN IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. THE FOREGOING

WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

15.  GENERAL.
     ------- 

     15.1  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by
           -------------                                                      
the laws of the United States of America and the State of California as such
laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within
California between California residents.  The parties agree that the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.

     15.2  Notices.  All notices or reports permitted or required under this
           -------                                               
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by personal delivery,
telegram, telex, telecopier or facsimile transmission or by registered mail,
return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given upon personal delivery or
five (5) days after deposit in the mail or upon acknowledgment of receipt of
electronic transmission. Notices shall be sent to: (i) the contract
representative designated in the specific CPSI Application Appendix if the
notice or report relates to one or more specific CPSI Applications and (ii) a

this Agreement or such other address as either party may specify in writing as
well as a copy to the parties General Counsel at the same address. Notices shall
be effective upon receipt, unless otherwise specified in such notice or in this
Agreement.

     15.3  Injunctive Relief.  It is understood and agreed that,
           -----------------                                    
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions
of this Agreement by OEM will cause Adobe irreparable damage for which recovery
of money damages would be inadequate, and that Adobe shall therefore be entitled
to obtain timely injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to
protect 

                                      -23-
 
<PAGE>
 
Adobe's rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies
available at law.  Because of the unique and proprietary nature of the Adobe
Software, OEM acknowledges that in the event OEM or any OEM customer continues
to distribute the CPSI Application Object, or any portion thereof, after its
right to do so has terminated or expired, Adobe shall be entitled to active or
other equitable relief, including without limitation, an order directing that
any copies of the CPSI Application Object, or any portion thereof, which OEM or
any direct or indirect customer of OEM attempts to import into the U.S. or any
other country or territory, be seized, impounded and destroyed by Customs
officials in order to prevent such importation.

     15.4  No Agency.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating
           ---------                                                          
any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

     15.5  Force Majeure.  Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of
           -------------                                                       
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for
the payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection,
fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor
conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond
the reasonable control of such party.

     15.6  Waiver.  The failure of either party to require performance by the
           ------                                                            
other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require
such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of
a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the
provision itself.

     15.7  Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement
           ------------                                                    
shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by
applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render
Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such
provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the
objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of
applicable law or applicable court decisions.

     15.8  Headings.  The paragraph headings appearing in this Agreement are
           --------                                                         
inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way define, limit, construe
or describe the scope or extent of such paragraph, or in any way affect this
Agreement.

     15.9  Confidentiality of Agreement.  Neither party shall make any public
           ----------------------------                                      
announcement of, or otherwise disclose, the existence of or matters set forth in
this Agreement except as mutually agreed in writing or as required by disclosure
obligations arising under law.

     15.10 No Patent License.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
           -----------------                                                 
conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or right under any

                                      -24-
 
<PAGE>
 
United States or foreign patent, issued, assigned or licensed to Adobe, whether
existing or later issued, except to the extent specifically required to perform
the obligations and obtain the benefits expressly set forth in this agreement.
Adobe agrees that OEM and OEM's customers shall have the right to exercise all
rights which Adobe expressly grants to OEM or expressly authorizes OEM to grant
to such customers herein, notwithstanding the existence or later issuance to
Adobe of any United States or foreign patent.

     15.11 Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any rights of OEM hereunder
           ----------                                                         
may be assigned by OEM in whole or in part without the prior written approval of
Adobe.  For the purposes of this Paragraph, a change in the persons or entities
who control 50% or more of the equity securities or voting interest of OEM shall
be considered an assignment of OEM's rights.  Adobe's rights and obligations, in
whole or in part, under this Agreement may be assigned by Adobe.  Adobe may
exercise full transfer and assignment rights in any manner at Adobe's discretion
and specifically may sell, pledge or otherwise transfer its right to receive
royalties under this Agreement.

     15.12 Attorneys' Fees.  In the event any proceeding or lawsuit is brought
           ---------------                                                    
by Adobe, its suppliers or OEM in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing
party in such proceeding shall be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness
fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, including costs and fees on appeal.

     15.13 Full Power.  Each party warrants to the other that it has fun power
           ----------                                                         
to enter into and perform this Agreement, and the person signing this Agreement
on behalf of the respective party has been duly authorized and empowered to
enter into this Agreement.  Each party further acknowledges that it has read
this Agreement, understands it and agrees to be bound by it.

     15.14 Forum.  All disputes arising under this Agreement may be brought in
           -----                                                              
Superior Court of the State of California in Santa Clara County or the Federal
District Court of San Jose as permitted by law.  The Superior Court of Santa
Cara County and the Federal District Court of San Jose shall each have
nonexclusive jurisdiction over disputes under this Agreement.  OEM and Adobe
consent to personal jurisdiction of the above courts; provided, that the
foregoing shall not be construed as divesting any other court of such
jurisdiction as such court may otherwise have over such disputes.

     15.15 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto, and any
           ----------------                                               
executed CPSI Application Appendices constitute the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement supersedes,
and the terms of this Agreement govern, any prior or collateral agreements
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or
written.  This Agreement may only be changed by mutual agreement of authorized
representatives of the parties in writing.

                      Minimum Terms of End User Agreement
                                Notice to User

     1.    Licensor grants to Licensee a nonexclusive sublicense, subject to
Paragraph 7 below and the other provisions hereof (a) to use the CPSI
- -----------                                                          
Application Object ("Software") solely for Licensee's own internal business
purposes in a single computer, associated display with a resolution of less than
one hundred fifty dots per inch, and an associated printer which is directly
connected to the computer (the "Computer System"); (b) to use the digitally-
encoded machine-readable outline programs ("Font Programs") provided by Licensor
in a special encrypted format ("Coded Font Programs") and identified herewith to
reproduce and display designs, styles, weights, and versions of letters,
numerals, characters and symbols ("Typefaces") solely for Licensee's own
customary business or personal purposes on the Computer System; and (c) to use
the trademarks used by Licensor to identify the Coded Font Programs and
Typefaces reproduced therefrom ("Trademarks").  Licensee may assign its rights
under this Agreement to a licensee of all of Licensee's right, title and
interest to such Software and Coded Font Programs provided the licensee agrees
to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     2.    Licensee acknowledges that the Software, Coded Font Programs,
Typefaces and Trademarks are proprietary to Licensor and its suppliers.
Licensee agrees to hold the Software and Coded Font Programs in confidence,
disclosing the Software and Coded Font Programs only to authorized employees
having a need to use the Software and Coded Font Programs as permitted by this
Agreement and to take all reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure to other
parties.

     3.    Licensee will not make or have made, or permit to be made, any copies
of the Software or Coded Font Programs or portions thereof, except as necessary
for its use with a single Computer System hereunder.  Licensee agrees that any
such copies shall contain the same proprietary notices which appear on or in the
Software or the Coded Font Program.

     4.    Except as stated above, this Agreement does not grant Licensee any
rights to patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks (whether
registered or unregistered), or any other rights, franchises, or licenses in
respect of the Software, Coded Font Programs, Typefaces, or Trademarks.
Licensee will not adapt or use any trademark or trade name which is likely to be
similar to or confusing with that of licensor or any of its suppliers or take
any other action which impairs or reduces the trademark rights of licensor or
its suppliers.  The Trademarks can only be used to identify printed output
produced by the Coded Font Programs.  At the reasonable request of licensor,
Licensee must supply samples of any Typeface identified by a Trademark.

     5.    Licensee agrees that it will not attempt to alter, disassemble,
decrypt or reverse engineer the Software or Coded Font Programs.

     6.    Licensee acknowledges that the laws and Regulations of the United
States restrict the export and re-export of commodities and technical data of
United States origin, including the Software or Coded Font Programs.  Licensee
agrees that it will not export or re-export the Software or Coded Font Programs
in any form without the appropriate United States and foreign government
licenses.  Licensee agrees that its obligations pursuant to this section survive
and continue after any termination or expiration of rights under this Agreement.

     7.    The Software licensed hereunder is intended to be used to generate
screen displays on a single Computer System having a screen resolution of less
than 150 dots per inch and to generate output on the associated printer.
Licensee agrees not to make use of the Software, directly or indirectly, (i) to
generate bitmap images on a screen display with a resolution of 150 dots per
inch or greater, (ii) to generate Typefaces for use other than with the Computer
System, or (iii) to generate printed output on other than an output device that
Licensor has designated to be approved for use with the Software on the Computer
System.  Any failure of License to comply with this provision is a material
breach of this End User Agreement.

     8.    NEITHER LICENSOR NOR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES MAKES OR PASSES ON TO
LICENSEE OR OTHER THIRD PARTY ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION ON BEHALF OF
LICENSOR'S THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS.

     9.    Licensee is hereby notified that Adobe Systems Incorporated, a
California corporation located at 1585 Charleston Road, Mountain View,
California 94039-7900 ("Adobe") is a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement
to the extent that this Agreement contains provisions which relate to Licensee's
use of the Software, the Coded Font Programs, the Typefaces and the Trademarks
licensed hereby.  Such provisions are made expressly for the benefit of Adobe

     This Appendix sets forth additional and different terms and conditions
particular to the Licensed System described below and shall be incorporated by
reference into the Configurable PostScript Interpreter OEM License Agreement
("Agreement") between _______________________ ("OEM") and Adobe Systems
Incorporated ("Adobe") effective as of ________________________. Such different
or additional terms are applicable only to the Licensed System described below
and in no way alter the terms and conditions applicable to other Licensed
Systems incorporated into the Agreement by addition of an appendix.

     All the terms used in this Appendix shall retain the same meaning as
defined in the Agreement and such definitions are incorporated herein by
reference.

                   follows:

           (2)     One Designated Output Device from the following set:

           OEM may use the CPSI Application to generate output from devices
           other than those listed in this paragraph only within the development
           group and only for testing purposes within that group. New devices
           must be added to this Appendix by an addendum before OEM may install
           such devices for use with the CPSI Application outside the
           development group. If OEM wishes to 


                                     -33-

           add other devices, it must first submit to Adobe a letter describing
           the full specification of the additional device and
           provide output samples of type in both small and large sizes and
           sampled images. Adobe may subject this additional device installed
           for use with the CPSI Application to quality testing, as described
           Paragraph 3.8.2 ("Adobe Testing") and will  notify OEM within thirty

           (30) days or such longer period if Adobe determines, in its sole
           discretion, that it needs a longer period, that it accepts or rejects
           OEM's proposed additional device. If such additional device is
           accepted by Adobe as a Designated Output Device, Adobe will prepare
           an addendum to this Appendix and forward to OEM for execution. OEM
           shall authorize use of the CPSI Application to generate output only
           on devices that have been approved by Adobe in accordance with the
           provisions as described in this Paragraph.

a License Management Mechanism which permits the End User access to the CPSI
Application Object and Coded Font Programs only if such use constitutes a
Licensed Use, as that term is defined herein, and thus is covered by a license
purchased by the End User from OEM. In the event that it comes to Adobe's
attention that the License Management Mechanism has been violated and Adobe
reasonably believes that there is unlicensed use of the CPSI Application Object
and Coded Font Programs, OEM will use best efforts to supply a new License
Management Mechanism within thirty (30) days after OEM receives notification of
such violation. Should Adobe be able to demonstrate failure of the License
Management Mechanism to reasonably prevent unlicensed use of the CPSI
Application Object and Coded Font Programs, OEM will immediately stop shipment
of the CPSI Application Object and Coded Font Programs until corrective measures
can be taken. One license is required for each concurrent Licensed Use of the
CPSI Application Object and Coded Font Programs.

                         II. PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT WORK

2.01  a) In the event Seller, in order to deliver Products which meet the 
Specifications set forth in Attachment I hereto, has agreed to develop new 
products or modify existing products other than rendering current Products into 
Private Label Products ("Development Work"), then this Article II shall apply.

      b) Seller shall perform the Development Work in conformity to the 
Development Work Schedule set forth in Attachment VI. Seller shall provide Xerox
with progress reports, in accordance with the schedule set forth in Attachment 
IV. Each such report shall reflect/indicate:

     i.    Status of progress to current Program Schedule milestone;

     ii.   Short description of problems in meeting such milestone;

     iii.  Proposed recovery method to meet next milestone if needed;

     iv.   Probability of meeting next milestone;

     v.    Any other information related to the Development Work reasonably 
requested by Xerox.

      c) The parties agree to conduct regular program reviews as shown on the 
agreed Program Schedule set forth on Attachment IV to this Agreement, to ensure 
their mutual satisfaction with the performance of the Development Work under the
Agreement. Upon reasonable notice, the parties agree to meet at a mutually 
agreeable time and location to discuss and inspect the status of the Development
Work.

   Xerox & SMT Hardware Purchase and Software Development/License Agreement


meeting the specifications set forth in Attachment I hereto, and the 
manufacturing cost targets, although such PVT unit may not be fully functional 
or manufactured with actual production tooling. The DVT unit shall be a 
completed unit of the Product with all required functionality and performance 
for final Product test purposes, manufactured with production ready tooling 
using the actual production methods and equipment.

     (f) (i)   Xerox, with the assistance of the Seller if requested by Xerox, 
will examine and test each Deliverable upon delivery to determine whether the 
Deliverable conforms to the Specifications. Xerox shall, within the acceptance 
period for each Deliverable set forth in Attachment IV; (i) accept the 
Deliverable and so inform the Seller in writing; or (ii) reject the Deliverable 
and provide Seller with a written statement to specify in detail the 
Deliverable's non-conformity to applicable specification. Notwithstanding the 
Project Schedule, Xerox shall not be obligated to pay for any Deliverable for 
which Xerox has submitted to the Seller a statement of non-conformity to 
applicable specifications. If Xerox does not provide such a statement of 
non-conformity to applicable specifications within the said acceptance period, 
the Deliverables will be deemed to have accepted by Xerox.

     (f) (ii)  Should any Deliverable fail to meet the Specifications after the 
second redelivery of that Deliverable, then the parties shall promptly meet to 
resolve the problem. In the event that the parties are unable to develop a plan 
to resolve such failure of the Deliverable to conform to applicable 
specifications or other problems, Xerox shall have the right to terminate this 
Agreement as set forth in Article VII hereof, and such impasse shall be deemed 
due cause for termination of this Agreement.

III. LICENSED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT WORK

3.01  Seller will develop the Licensed Software in accordance with the 
Specification defined in Attachment I and will deliver the Licensed Software to 
Xerox in accordance with Attachment IV.

fee, as necessary, for substantial changes to the specification and/or changes 
which affect the dates for scheduled delivery.

3.03  After delivery as stated in 3.01 of the Licensed Software, Xerox will have
sixty (60) days to test the same and to notify Seller in writing of either its 
Approval or reasons for nonconformance to the Specifications of Attachment I. 
The Acceptance Criteria in Attachment VI shall serve as the primary part of the 
criteria which Xerox will use in making its determination as to Approval.

3.04  Upon notification by Xerox in accordance with 3.03 that the Licensed 
Software does not meet the Specifications of Attachment I and/or contains 
significant program errors, or otherwise doesn't function properly, Seller will 
correct the Licensed Software within a correction period of thirty (30) days 
following receipt of written notice from Xerox, and Xerox will be relieved of 
its sixty (60) day Approval obligation set forth in 3.03. If Seller subsequently
delivers corrected Licensed Software to Xerox within said thirty (30) day
correction period, Xerox will have an additional thirty (30) days from receipt
to reevaluate the corrected Licensed Software.

3.05  If Seller is unable to meet the Specifications to Attachment I and/or 
eliminate significant program errors, product failure, or other problems in the 
Licensed Software in the thirty (30) day correction period of 3.04, or within 60
days of the delivery milestone dates set forth in Attachment IV then as Xerox' 
sole remedy and at its option Xerox may:

     (a)  extend the correction period by an amount of time as may be a 
          determined by Xerox; or
     (b)  Approve the Licensed Software; or 
     (c)  reject the Licensed Software by notifying Seller of such in writing 
          and promptly return Licensed Software to Seller with all copies made;
          or
     (d)  Elect to terminate the Agreement.

of document production shall be governed by the commercial Arbitration Rules of 
the Association and the decision of the arbitrator with respect thereto. The 
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced 
in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither party shall be precluded hereby 
from seeking provisional remedies in the courts of any jurisdiction including, 
but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, to
protect its rights and interests, but such shall not be sought as a means to 
avoid or stay arbitration. To the extent this Agreement contains a limitation 
and/or disclaimer of liability clause, the terms of such clause will be applied 
by the arbitrator. If this Agreement does not contain a limitation and/or 
disclaimer of liability clause the maximum monetary award that can be rendered 
by the arbitrator will be ten (10) million dollars and such award shall not 
include any consequential, incidental, punitive, or exemplary damages. The

SuperMac will provide support described below between the hours of [*]
Monday through Friday.

FIRST LEVEL SUPPORT RESPONSIBILITIES

Xerox will act as the initial point of contact and provide customer assistance 
during the pre-sale and pre-install phases of the Products.

Xerox will provide limited post-sale first level telephone hotline support as 
needed, and engage SuperMac for the more involved support. As a function of the 
initial contact, Level 1 Support shall direct customer diagnostics operation to 
attempt to isolate between copier and Splash failures, then to isolate hardware 
failures to determine if there is a Splash product hardware failure.

Xerox will provide support to the customer during the installation and post 
installation of the Products to enhance customer satisfaction. Level 1 Support 
shall either (i) satisfy the customer, (ii) dispatch a hardware replacement to 
the customer to replace defective hardware, or (iii) For North America Customer 
Operations: pass the call to Level 2 Support for further diagnosis, and for
Europe and Latin America: use email, fax or telephone in English to pass
information to Level 2 support. The Level 1 Support provider shall always remain
primarily responsible for the trouble call and shall always confirm with the
customer that subsequent levels of support have satisfied their support
responsibilities.

SuperMac will provide reasonable additional support and training, when requested
by Xerox, during the pre-sale and pre-install phases of the Products.

SECOND LEVEL SUPPORT RESPONSIBILITIES

SuperMac will verify Product problems reported by customers, including 
duplicating problems whenever possible in a controlled environment. Level 2
Support shall maintain a reasonable amount of products and other equipment to
allow, if necessary, duplication of the customers operating environment to
assist in diagnosis of the problem. [*] SMT will supply all other equipment. If
the proposed resolution is replacement of hardware. Level 1 Support shall
dispatch the required hardware and handle any further exchanges with the
customer.

SuperMac will report verified Product failures or unresolved problems to third 
level support.

SuperMac will provide third level support with all available information and 
materials related to any Product failure or unresolved problem for resolution.

SuperMac will coordinate the definition and resolution of all Product problems 
reported by a customer, including maintaining contact with the customer 
throughout the resolution process and gathering additional diagnostic 
information required by third level support.

SuperMac will maintain an integrated file record of Product problems reported, 
the nature of each problem, whether or not it has been resolved and the nature 
of the solution. Upon the occurence of a problem for which a solution has 
previously been developed, SuperMac shall communicate the solution to the end 
user without involving third level support.

THIRD LEVEL SUPPORT RESPONSIBILITIES

Level 3 Support shall consist of software and hardware engineers sufficiently 
familiar with the design and operation of the product to allow for diagnosis of 
complex design and software functional issues. Level 3 Support shall examine 
reported failures of the product operation that fail to meet specifications and 
shall propose a solution to the problem and a date by which such solution will 
be

available. The time frame in which such proposal shall be made shall be 
dependent on the SPAR Severity Level, in accordance with Xerox standard SPAR 
resolution times as shown in Attachment X-1.

SuperMac will perform the analysis of reported product failures and unresolved 
problems and undertake any efforts to develop solutions of bypasses.

SuperMac will provide first level support or second level support in machine 
format for updated programs and associated documentation developed in response 
to the resolution of product failures and non-conformances.

SuperMac will provide information, where such information is not clearly 
described in the associated documentation, and consulting assistance regarding 
the operation of the Products in order to enable second level personnel to 
perform their second level support responsibilities.

SuperMac will maintain current updated master libraries for the Product 
including all programs and documentation and inform Xerox of any changes or 
updates.

HARDWARE REPAIR SUPPORT

Xerox Corp. Customer Operations groups shall inventory spare parts in sufficient
quantity to provide all required dispatched of hardware to resolve customer 
problems, both during and after the warranty period.

SuperMac shall, during the warranty period, repair or replace any defective 
hardware returned to SuperMac by Xerox Corp. (TXC).



HARDWARE REPAIR SUPPORT

Xerox Corp. Customer Operations groups shall inventory spare parts in sufficient
quantity to provide all required dispatched of hardware to resolve customer 
problems, both during and after the warranty period.

SuperMac shall, during the warranty period, repair or replace any defective 
hardware returned to SuperMac by Xerox Corp (TXC) at no charge. SuperMac shall 
not be obligated to accept returns from any other source.

Subsequent to the warranty period, or for failures not covered by the

exchange fee, except that if the returned hardware is for any reason not 
repairable, Supermac shall have the right to charge Xerox the full new purchase
price of any replacement hardware.

SuperMac shall provide hardware repair support for [*]  following the date of
last shipment of new units of any particular version of hardware, and shall 
allow Xerox (TXC) to do one last spares purchase, necessary to conduct exchanges
for any remaining useful life of the product, concurrent with the final build of
new units. The flat rate exchange fee may be adjusted to reflect increased parts
and/or repair costs during this period.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT

SuperMac shall provide Level 2 and 3 technical support to customers for the
current shipping and last previous shipping versions of the product software, or
in the case of a discontinued hardware product, the last version of the software
that supports such product. Users in possession of any prior version must update
to the most current version in order to receive any assistance from Level 2 or
Level 3 Support.

Software Upgrades are defined as releases of software that are not intended to 
provide increase functionality or performance, but to correct errors in
operation in accordance with specifications. Upgrade versions shall be
identified by 1.XX.01 numbers where the XX portion refers to the Upgrade version
number.

Software Upgrades are defined as releases of software that are intended to 
provide increase functionality or performance, or to provide compatibility with 
application or system software that was not released for general use at the time
of the previous Upgrade version.  Upgrade versions shall be identified by 
XX.1.01 numbers where the XX portion refers to the Update version number.

During the warranty period of the customer's hardware, superMac shall provide 
the most current Update version of the Product software at no cost to the 
customer.  After the hardware warranty period, SuperMac shall have the right to 
charge the customer for software Updates.

SuperMac shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in each Update 
releases solutions for all level 1-3 SPAR's open as of a specified cutoff date 
for each Update release, and as many of the level 4 SPAR's as SuperMac in the 
reasonable exercise of its discretion considers desirable to incorporate into 
any particular Update release.

SuperMac may always, at SuperMac's option substitute an Upgrade version of the 
software in place of an Update version to customers within the warranty period 
at no charge, but shall be under no obligation to do so.

SuperMac shall not be required to release during the term of the Agreement any 
more than one Update version of the software.

Acceptance testing of the software by Xerox, or Xerox and SuperMac in 
cooperation shall be definitive on the compliance of the Software with the 
specifications.  SuperMac at its option may choose to make further Updates or 
refinements, and Xerox may request SuperMac, at Xerox' expense, to incorporate 
specified changes to the software and its operation, subject to the availability
of engineering resources at SuperMac.

All customer PROBLEMS, of which Xerox receives notice, that become SPARs, are 
assigned one of the four SEVERITY LEVELS agreed to between the Op Unit/CO, SMT, 
and the customer.  In case of dispute the voice of the customer takes priority.

The PROBLEM/SPAR SEVERITY LEVEL determines the process timing and priority for 
resource allocations to address the PROBLEM. If a customer's current operational
conditions change during the process, the SEVERITY LEVEL may be adjusted, with 
agreement between the Op Unit/Co and the customer, based upon any of these 
conditions:

  .  A satisfactory workaround (interim Solution) is found.
  .  A software update is available that may significantly reduce the impact of 
     the problem to the customer's business.
  .  Additional information surfaces concerning the impact of the problem.

SEVERITY LEVEL is not changed based upon business priorities or aging.

The definitions used to determine the correct SEVERITY LEVEL are listed below.

  SEVERITY 1   Catastrophic problem; the system is down and/or user has no
               production capability.
  SEVERITY 2   Severe problem; system is up, but production capability is 
               seriously degraded.
  SEVERITY 3   Moderate problem; the system is up, but production capability is 
               reduced.
  SEVERITY 4   Minor problem; system is up, with no significant impact to 
               production.

     provided from SuperMac's facility.

*Resolution shall mean: a recommended "deliverable" proposed to meet the
 customer requirements for a specific problem. The deliverable medium includes,
 but is not limited to, any of the following:

                     [*] Confidential Treatment Requested.
<PAGE>
 
          .    Answer to an inquiry or request
          .    A verbal instruction
          .    Dispatch of an electronic patch, tape, disk, or medium available 
               for communicating code changes
          .    Remote code download
          .    Dispatch of corrected documentation, or
          .    Any other solution acceptable to the customer sufficient for
               problem closure.

An acceptable resolution is a recommended "deliverable" that totally satisfies 
the customer requirements for a specific problem solution, and the problem can 
be closed.  Further assistance is no longer required.  An interim solution is a 
recommended "deliverable" that does not totally satisfy the customer 
requirements.  SuperMac is still responsible for providing an acceptable 
solution to the customer.  The problem remains open.
