Certain amounts in the 1995 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that

The Company elected not to adopt the fair value based method of accounting for
its employee stock based Compensation plans established by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Accordingly, the Company will continue its current accounting for
employee stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, as permitted under Statement No. 123, and, if material,
will disclose the pro forma effect of the fair value accounting method in the

OPERATING RESULTS

Zions Bancorporation achieved record earnings for the quarter and half-year
ended June 30, 1996. Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1996 was
$25,064,000 or $1.70 per share, an increase of 22.1% and 22.3%, respectively,
over the $20,521,000 or $1.39 earned in the second quarter of 1995 and an
increase of 5.9% and 5.6%, respectively, over the $23,671,000 or $1.61 per share
for the first quarter of 1996.

Consolidated net income was $48,735,000 or $3.31 per share for the first six
months of 1996, compared to $36,522,000 or $2.48 per share for the first six
months of 1995, which constituted increases of 33.4% and 33.5%, respectively.
Earnings during the first six months of 1995 were adversely affected by a
trading loss and restructuring charge totaling $4,390,000 or approximately
$2,948,000 ($.20 per share) after tax. When adjusted for those charges, the
increase in net income and earnings per share for the first six months of 1996
was 23.5%.

The Company's second-quarter $4,543,000 (22.1%) increase in earnings relative to
the same period a year ago reflects a $7,593,000 (13.6%) increase in net
interest income, a $4,421,000 (20.0%) increase in noninterest income, a $90,000
(10.6%) decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by a
$5,558,000 (12.1%) increase in noninterest expenses and a $2,003,000 (18.6%)
increase in income tax expense.

The Company's $9,265,000 (23.5%) increase in net income for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the similar period in 1995, excluding the effect
of the trading loss and restructuring charge, reflect a $14,341,000 (13.1%)
increase in net interest income, a $10,067,000 (23.7%) increase in noninterest
income, a $90,000 (6.2%) decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially
offset by a $10,492,000 (11.6%) increase in noninterest expenses and a
$4,741,000 (23.7%) increase in income tax expense.

The annualized return on average assets for the second quarter and for the first
six months of 1996 was 1.62% and 1.58% compared to 1.49% and 1.37%,
respectively, in 1995, resulting in an annualized return on average common
shareholders' equity of 22.41% and 22.19% for the second quarter and for the
first six months of 1996, compared to 21.13% and 19.31% for the same periods of
1995.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS

Net interest income for the second quarter of 1996, adjusted to a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 13.7% to $65,071,000 compared to $57,222,000
for the second quarter of 1995, and increased 5.7% from $61,557,000 for the
first quarter of 1996. Net interest margin was 4.57%, compared to 4.56% for the
second quarter of 1995 and 4.36% for the first quarter of 1996. Six-month net
interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $126,628,000 in 1996,
an increase of 13.4% compared to $111,710,000 for the first six months of 1995.
Net interest margin for the first six months of 1996 was 4.47%, compared to
4.61% for the first six months of 1995.

The yield on average earning assets decreased 24 basis points during the second
quarter of 1996 as compared to the second quarter of 1995, and increased 12
basis points from the first quarter of 1996. The average rate paid this quarter
on interest-bearing funds decreased 26 basis points from the second quarter of
1995, and decreased 7 basis points from the first quarter of 1996. Comparing the
first six months of 1996 with 1995, the yield on average earning assets
decreased 28 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds decreased by
15 basis points.

The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the second quarter of 1996 was
3.82%, up from the 3.80% for the second quarter of 1995 and the 3.63% for the
first quarter of 1996. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the
first six months of 1996 was 3.72% compared with 3.85% for the same period in
1995.

The Company attempts to minimize interest rate movement sensitivity through the
management of interest rate maturities, and to a lesser extent, the use of
off-balance sheet arrangements such as caps, floors and interest rate exchange
contract agreements. Net interest income to the Company from the use of such
off-balance sheet arrangements for the first six months of 1996 was $984,000
compared to $80,000 for the first six months of 1995.

The increased level of taxable-equivalent net interest income and the increase
in net interest margin in the second quarter of 1996, compared to the same
period in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, resulted primarily from the
increase in average loans and leases and decreased activity in security resell
arrangements. The increased level of taxable-equivalent net interest income in
the first six months of 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, resulted
primarily from the increase in average loans and leases. The decrease in net
interest margin resulted primarily from the effect of a decrease in rates on
earning assets; and an increase in rates paid on interest-bearing time deposits,
and increased activity in security resell arrangements during the first four
months of 1996.

the Company's income taxes was due to the increase in income before income
taxes.

LOANS

The Company has structured its organization to separate the lending function
from the credit administration function to strengthen the control and
independent evaluation of credit activities. Loan policies and procedures
provide the Company with a framework for consistent underwriting and a basis for
sound credit decisions. In addition, the Company has well-defined standards for
grading its loan portfolio, and management utilizes the comprehensive loan
grading system to determine risk potential in the portfolio. Another aspect of
the Company's credit risk management strategy is the diversification of the loan
portfolio. The Company has a well-diversified loan portfolio with no significant
exposure to highly leveraged transactions and has no foreign credits in its loan
portfolio.

The table below sets forth the amount of loans outstanding by type at June 30,
1996, December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995.

to .19% at December 31, 1995 and .10% at June 30, 1995.

Loans to one borrower totaling $1,275,000 at June 30, 1996 were considered
potential problem loans compared to no loans at December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1995. Potential problem loans are defined as loans presently current by their
terms, but about which management has serious doubt as to the future ability of
the borrower to comply with present repayment terms and which may result in the
reporting of the loans as nonperforming assets.

*Includes loans held for sale


The Company's total recorded investment in impaired loans, in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standard statements, amounted to $4,642,000 at June 30,
1996, as compared to $3,388,000 as of December 31, 1995, and $6,589,000 at June
30, 1995. The company considers a loan to be impaired when the accrual of
interest has been discontinued and meets other criteria under the statements.
The amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected
cash flows, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the
collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses
through a provision for loan losses. The required allowance for loan losses
allocated to impaired loans as of June 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and June 30,
1995 amounts to $34,000, $22,000 and $1,055,000, respectively.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, management
utilizes a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in the
portfolio, and considers the results of independent internal and external credit
review, historical charge-off experience, and changes in the composition and
volume of the portfolio. Other factors, such as general economic conditions and
collateral values, are also considered. Larger problem credits are individually
evaluated to determine appropriate reserve allocations. Additions to the
allowance are based upon the resulting risk profile of the portfolio developed
through the evaluation of the above factors.

The following table shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses and a
summary of loan loss experience.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans and leases was 2.16%
at June 30, 1996, compared to 2.41% at December 31, 1995, and 2.56% at June 30,
1995. The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past
due 90 days or more was 495.0% at June 30, 1996, compared to 533.2% at December
31, 1995, and 495.7% at June 30, 1995. The allowance, as a percentage of

878.8% at December 31, 1995, and 602.9% at June 30, 1996.

Included in the allowance for loan losses is an amount for unused loan
commitments and standby letters of credit which at June 30, 1996, December 31,
1995, and June 30, 1995, amounted to $5,797,000, $7,516,000 and $5,332,000,
respectively. Unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit at June 30,
1996, December 31, 1995, and June 30, 1995, amounted to $1,512.9 million,
$1,610.5 million ad $1,374.7 million, respectively.

DEPOSITS

Average total deposits of $4,136.8 million of the first six months of 1996
increased 11.0% over the $3,725.2 million for the first six months of 1995, with
average demand deposits increasing 12.5%. Average money market and super NOW
deposits, time deposits under $100,000 and time deposits over $100,000 for the
first six months of 1996 increased 21.4%, 16.0% and 60.8% respectively, from the
first six months of 1995. Average savings and NOW deposits decreased 14.4% and
foreign deposits decreased 20.4% during the first six months of 1996, as
compared with the same period one year earlier.

Total deposits increased 5.9% to $4,340.3 million at June 30, 1996 as compared
to $4,097.1 million at December 31, 1995. Comparing June 30, 1996 to December
31, 1995, demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, time deposits
under $100,000, and time deposits over $100,000 increased .2%, 10.6%, .5% and
14.5%, respectively, while foreign deposits decreased 14.1%.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The Company manages it liquidity to provide adequate funds to meet its financial
obligations, including withdrawals by depositors, debt service requirements and
operating needs. Liquidity is primarily provided by the regularly scheduled
maturities of the Company's investment and loan portfolios. In addition, the
Company's liquidity is enhanced by the fact that cash, money market securities
and liquid investments, net of short-term or "purchased" liabilities and
wholesale deposits, totaled $1,254.4 million or 30.8% of core deposits at June
30, 1996, as compared to $1,428.2 million or 37.3% of core deposits at December
31, 1995, and $1,387.7 million or 37.9% of core deposits at June 30, 1995. The
Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, saving and money market deposits
and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 93.7% of total deposits at June
30, 1996 as compared to 93.5% at December 31, 1995 and 94.1% at June 30, 1995.

Maturing balances in loan portfolios provide flexibility in managing cash flows.
Maturity management of those funds is an important source of medium-to long-term
liquidity. The Company's ability to raise funds in the capital markets through
the "securitization" process and by debt issuances allows the Company to take
advantage of market opportunities to meet funding needs at reasonable cost.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The parent company's cash requirements consist primarily of principal and
interest payments on its borrowings, dividend payments to shareholders, and cash
operating expenses and income taxes. The parent company's cash needs are
routinely satisfied through payments by subsidiaries of dividends, management
and other fees, principal and interest payments on subsidiary borrowings from
the parent company and proportionate shares of current income taxes.

Interest rate sensitivity measures the Company's financial exposure to changes
in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is, like liquidity, affected by
maturities of assets and liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity is measured in
terms of "gaps," defined as the difference between volumes of assets and
liabilities whose interest rates are subject to reset within specified periods
of time, and "duration," a measure of the weighted average expected lives of the
cash flows from assets and liabilities.

The Company, through the management of interest rate "maturities" and the use of
off-balance sheet arrangements such as interest rate caps, floors, futures,
options, and interest rate exchange agreements, attempts to minimize the effect
on net income of changes in interest rates. The Company's management exercises
its best judgment in making assumptions with respect to prepayments, early
withdrawals and other noncontrollable events in managing the Company's exposure
to changes in interest rates. Gaps are actively managed and change daily as the
interest rate environment changes; therefore, positions at the end of any period
may not be reflective of the Company's interest rate position in subsequent
periods. The prime lending rate is the primary basis used for pricing the
Company's loans and the short-term Treasury rate is the index used for pricing
many of the Company's deposits. The Company, however, is unable to effectively
and economically hedge the prime/90-day T-bill spread risk through the use of
off-balance sheet financial instruments.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS

During the first six months of 1996, the Company repurchased and retired 218,997

13.82%, as compared to 14.23% at December 31, 1995 and 14.42% at June 30, 1995.
The Company's leverage ratio as of June 30, 1996 was 6.45%, as compared to 6.28%
at December 31, 1995 and 6.22% at June 30, 1995.

Dividends declared per common share for the second quarter of 1996 of $.41
increased 17.1%, as compared to $.35 for the second quarter of 1995. Dividends
declared per common share of $.82 for the first six months of 1996 increased
26.2% compared to $.65 for the first six months of 1995. The cash dividend
payout to net income applicable to common shares of the first six months of 1996

                           1996 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
                                STOCK OPTION PLAN



                                    SECTION 1
                               PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

         The Zions Bancorporation Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(the "PLAN") is intended to provide a method whereby the non-employee voting
directors (the "DIRECTORS") of Zions Bancorporation (the "COMPANY"), who are
responsible for reviewing and monitoring the performance of the Company and the
performance of the Company's officers, may be encouraged to acquire a stock
ownership in the Company, thereby promoting the interests of the Company and all
its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company, during the term of the Plan, will
grant options to the Directors to purchase shares of the Company's common stock,
subject to the conditions hereinafter provided.

                                    SECTION 2
                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         2.1. The Plan shall be administered by the Pension and Benefits
Committee (the "COMMITTEE") which consists of officers of the Company. The
Committee shall keep records of action taken at its meetings.

         2.2. The Committee shall interpret the Plan and prescribe such rules,
regulations and procedures in connection with the operation of the Plan as it
shall deem to be necessary and advisable for the administration of the Plan
consistent with the purposes and terms of the Plan. All questions of
interpretation and application of the Plan, or as to options granted under the
Plan, shall be subject to the determination of the Committee, which shall be
final and binding.
<PAGE>   2
         2.3. Notwithstanding the above, the selection of the Directors to whom
options are to be granted, the timing of such grants, the number of shares
subject to any option, the exercise price of any option, the periods during
which any option may be exercised and the term of any option shall be as
hereinafter provided, and the Committee shall have no discretion as to such
matters.

         2.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no
member of the Committee shall be eligible to receive options granted under the
Plan.

                                    SECTION 3
                             ELIGIBILITY OF GRANTEES

         3.1. Options shall be granted only to voting Directors of the Company
who are not currently serving as employees of the Company or any its affiliates.

         3.2. Nothing in the Plan, in any option granted under the Plan, or in
any option agreement shall confer any right to any person to continue as a
Director of the Company or interfere in any way with the rights of the
stockholders of the Company or the Company's Board of Directors (the "BOARD") to
elect and remove Directors.

                                    SECTION 4
                         STOCK AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN

         4.1. The stock to be issued upon exercise of options granted under the
Plan shall be the Company's common stock, without par value ("COMMON STOCK"),
that shall be made available either from authorized but unissued Common Stock or
from Common Stock reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased in the
open market. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
under options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand

                                      - 2 -
<PAGE>   3
(100,000) shares. The limitations established by the preceding sentence shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of the Plan.

         4.2. If any option granted under the Plan is canceled by mutual consent
or terminates or expires for any reason without having been exercised in full,
the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such option
may again be made subject to options under the Plan.

         4.3. The Common Stock which will be issued upon exercise of an option
granted hereunder shall be restricted stock, i.e., Common Stock which has not
been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                    SECTION 5
                                 TYPE OF OPTION

         Only "nonstatutory stock options" shall be granted under the terms of
the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the term "nonstatutory stock options" shall
mean an option which does not qualify under Section 422 or 423 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

                                    SECTION 6
                                 GRANT OF OPTION

         6.1. All Directors shall receive the first grant of Options pursuant to
this Plan the first business day after the date such Plan is initially approved
by the Company's stockholders. Thereafter, all Directors shall receive options
each year on the first business day following the day of the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company.

         6.2. Each Director shall receive, on an annual basis, an option to
purchase One Thousand (1,000) shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to
adjustment only as provided in Section 11

                                      - 3 -
<PAGE>   4
of the Plan. If the number of shares then remaining available for the grant of
options under the Plan is not sufficient for each Director to be granted an
option for One Thousand (1,000) shares (or the number of adjusted shares
pursuant to Section 11), then each Director shall be granted an option for a
number of whole shares equal to the number of shares then remaining available
divided by the number of Directors, disregarding any fractions of a share.

         6.3. Each annual grant of an option shall vest and become exercisable
in four equal installments of Two Hundred Fifty (250) shares beginning six
months from the grant date and continuing at one-year intervals from the first
vesting date.

         6.4. Subject to Section 9, each option shall be exercisable for ten
(10) years from the date of grant and not thereafter. An option, to the extent
exercisable at any time, may be exercised in whole or in part.

         6.5. All options shall be confirmed by an agreement, or an amendment
thereto, which shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Executive
Officer (if other than the President) or the President, and by the grantee.

                                    SECTION 7
                                  OPTION PRICE

         7.1. The option price per share shall be One Hundred percent (100%) of
the "fair market value" of one share of Common Stock on the date the option is
granted (the "OPTION PRICE").

         7.2. As used in this Plan, the term "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall be deemed
to be the closing price of the Company's Common Stock as reported on the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (or the
principal United States securities exchange registered under the

                                      - 4 -
<PAGE>   5
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on which the Common Stock is listed at the time)
("NASDAQ") on the date the option is granted. If there is not a NASDAQ closing
price quotation for the date as of which fair market value is to be determined,
then the fair market value shall be determined by reference to the NASDAQ
closing price quotation for the next preceding day on which a closing price
quotation is reported by NASDAQ.

         7.3. The Option Price shall be subject to adjustment only as provided
in Section 11 of the Plan.

                                    SECTION 8
                               EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

         8.1. A Director electing to exercise an option shall give written
notice to the Company of such election and of the number of shares he has
elected to purchase, in such form as the Committee shall have prescribed or
approved, and shall at the time of exercise tender the full Option Price of the
shares he has elected to purchase.

         8.2. The Option Price shall be paid in full upon exercise and shall be
payable in cash in United States dollars (including check, bank draft or money
order); provided, however, that in lieu of cash, the person exercising the
option may pay the Option Price in whole or in part by delivering to the Company
shares of the Common Stock owned by him and having a fair market value on the
date of exercise equal to the cash Option Price applicable to his option, except
that (i) any portion of the Option Price representing a fraction of a share
shall in any event be paid in cash and (ii) no shares of the Common Stock which
have been held for less than six (6) months may be delivered in payment of the

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>   6
Option Price of an option. Delivery of shares may also be accomplished through
the effective transfer to the Company of shares held by a broker or other agent.

         8.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 above, the exercise
of the option shall not be deemed to occur and no shares of Common Stock will be
issued by the Company upon exercise of the option until the Company has received
payment of the Option Price in full.

         8.4. A grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to
any shares covered by his option(s) until the date a stock certificate is issued
evidencing ownership of the shares. No adjustments shall be made for dividends
(ordinary or extraordinary), whether in cash, securities or other property, or
distributions or other rights, for which the record date is prior to the date
such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 hereof.

         8.5. Payment of the option price with shares of Common Stock shall not
increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan
as provided in Section 4 above.

         8.6. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any provision or
limitation in any option to the contrary, if the Company obtains actual
knowledge of a "change of control of the Company" (as defined below), then all
outstanding options held by grantees who, at the time of exercise are Directors,
may be exercised with respect to all shares of Common Stock subject thereto at
any time during the period of ninety (90) days following the date upon which the
Company obtained actual knowledge of such change of control of the Company. As
used herein, a "CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY" shall be deemed to have
occurred if (i) any person (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "ACT")) is or becomes the beneficial
owner (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of securities of the
Company representing 20% or more of the combined

                                      - 6 -
<PAGE>   7
voting power of the Company, or (ii) the stockholders of the Company approve (A)
a plan of merger or consolidation of the Company (unless, immediately following
consummation of such merger or consolidation, the persons who held the Company's
voting securities immediately prior to consummation thereof will hold at least a
majority of the total voting power of the surviving or new corporation), or (B)
a sale or disposition of all or substantially all assets of the Company, or (C)
a plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

                                    SECTION 9
                   RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

         9.1. No option shall be transferable by the grantee otherwise than by
Will, or if the Grantee dies intestate, by the laws of descent and distribution
of the state of domicile of the grantee at the time of death. All options shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the grantee only by the grantee or the
grantee's guardian, conservator or legal representative. These restrictions on
transferability shall not apply to the extent such restrictions are not at the
time required for the Plan to continue to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 of
the Act, or any successor Rule.

         9.2. If a grantee ceases to be a Director of the Company for any
reason, any outstanding options held by the grantee shall be exercisable
according to the following provisions:

              9.2.1. If a grantee ceases to be a Director of the Company for any
reason other than disability or death, any outstanding options held by such
grantee shall terminate as of the date on which the grantee ceases to be a
Director;

              9.2.2. If, during his term of office as a Director, a grantee dies
or becomes unable to serve as a Director due to physical and/or mental
disability, any outstanding options held by the grantee,

which are exercisable by the grantee immediately prior to his death or
disability, shall be exercisable by the grantee's guardian, conservator or legal
representative, or by the person entitled to do so under the Will of the
grantee, or, if the grantee shall fail to make testamentary disposition of the
options or shall die intestate, by the legal representative of the grantee's
estate, at any time prior to the expiration date of such options or within one
(1) year after the date of the grantee's disability or death, whichever period
is longer.

                                   SECTION 10
                      AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Board may at any time terminate, annul, modify or suspend the Plan,
subject to the following conditions:

         10.1. No termination of the Plan shall terminate any outstanding
options granted under the Plan.

         10.2. The Board cannot amend the Plan more often than once per
six-month period except for amendments to comply with changes in federal tax and
ERISA laws and the rules thereunder.

         10.3. No amendment of the Plan shall be made without stockholder
approval if stockholder approval of the amendment is at the time required for
options under the Plan to qualify for the exemption from Section 16(b) of the
Act provided by Rule 16b-3, or any successor Rule, or by the rules of any stock
exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed.

         10.4. The Board cannot amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan in
such a way that affects any options previously granted under the Plan without
the consent of the grantee.

         10.5. Without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, no
amendment or modification shall be made by the Board that:

                                      - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
               10.5.1. Increases the maximum number of shares as to which
options may be granted under the Plan;

               10.5.2. Alters the method by which the option price is
determined;

               10.5.3. Extends any option for a period longer than 10 years
after the date of grant;

               10.5.4. Materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility
for participation in the Plan;

               10.5.5. Provides for the administration of the Plan by a
Committee that is not composed entirely of officers of the Company who are not
eligible to participate in the Plan;


               10.5.6. Causes the options granted under the Plan not to qualify
for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3, or any successor Rule; or

               10.5.7. Alters this Section 10 so as to defeat its purpose.

         10.6. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph or
any other provision of the Plan or any option agreement, the Board shall have
the power to amend the Plan in any manner deemed necessary or advisable for the
options granted under the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule
16b-3 (or any successor rule relating to exemption from Section 16(b) of the
Act), and any such amendment shall, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable
by the Board, be applicable to any outstanding options theretofore granted under
the Plan notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained in any option
agreement. In the event of any such amendment to the Plan, the holder of any
option outstanding under the Plan shall, upon request of the Committee and as a
condition to the exercisability of such option, execute a conforming amendment
in the form prescribed by the Committee to their option agreement within such
reasonable time as the Committee shall specify in such request.

                                   SECTION 11
                            CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

         11.1. In the event that the shares of stock of the Company, as
presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number
or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another
corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, split-up, combination of shares or otherwise) or if the number
of such shares of stock shall be increased through the payment of a stock
dividend, then, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3 below, there shall be
substituted for or added to each share of stock of the Company which was
theretofore appropriated, or which thereafter may become subject to an option
under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into
which each outstanding share of the stock of the Company shall be so changed or
for which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such share shall
be entitled, as the case may be. Outstanding options shall also be appropriately
amended as to price and other terms, as may be necessary to reflect the
foregoing events.

         11.2. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.6, a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is
not the surviving corporation, shall cause each outstanding option to terminate,
except to the extent that another corporation may and does in the transaction
assume and continue the option or substitute its own options.

         11.3. Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in options
pursuant to this Section 11 may be dealt with as the Committee shall determine.

         11.4. To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or
securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Committee,
whose determination in that respect shall be final,

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>   11
binding and conclusive. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company
to each holder of an option which shall have been so adjusted.

         11.5. The grant of an option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in
any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganization or changes of its capital or business
structure, to merge, to consolidate, to dissolve, to liquidate or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                                   SECTION 12
                       EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN

         The Plan shall become effective upon approval by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock present in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote at a duly called and convened meeting of the Company's
stockholders. If such approval is obtained at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
in 1996, the Plan shall be effective on the date of such meeting, the first
options shall be granted on the first business day thereafter and the last
options granted under this Plan shall be granted on the first business day after
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2005.

         APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS ON 26 April 1996.
