             a written notice of such termination to Holder no less than
             30 days prior to any anniversary date on which shares shall
             become Vested pursuant to this paragraph.  The vesting
             process also will be terminated in the event of Seller's
             death or permanent disability.  For this purpose, "permanent
             disability" will mean the reasonable determination by
             Seller's physician that he has an illness or incapacity that
             has disabled, or will disable, him from rendering his normal
             services to the Company and its subsidiaries for a period of
             more than six (6) consecutive months in any consecutive
             twelve (12) month period.  In the event that the vesting
             process is terminated, all Unvested Shares will remain
             Unvested Shares and no further Shares will become Vested,
             provided however that if the vesting process is terminated by
             Seller's death or permanent disability, the Shares that would

             have become Vested on the next anniversary date will be
             deemed immediately Vested.

                       3.   Exercise of Stock Option.

                            (a)  Term.  The Option may be exercised to
             purchase Vested Shares, subject to the other terms and
             conditions of this Agreement, during the period beginning on
             April 1, 1993 and ending on March 31, 1998 (the "Exercise
             Period"), provided that the Option will not be exercisable
             for a period of seven (7) months following the date of any
             written notice from Seller to Holder that Seller intends to
             purchase shares of the Company's common stock, and provided
             further that the Seller may place such restrictions on
             exercise, resale or otherwise as he deems appropriate in
             order to satisfy applicable securities laws.  In no event may
             the Option be exercised to purchase Unvested Shares.

                       Notwithstanding the foregoing, beginning on
             April 1, 1994 and continuing with April 1 of each year during
             the Exercise Period, if the fair market value (as defined
             below) of a share of Common Stock exceeds the Purchase Price
             per Share for a period of at least twenty (20) consecutive
             business days during the preceding year and the Option was
             otherwise exercisable during such period, the Option, if not
             exercised, will lapse and cease to be exercisable as to one
             fifth (1/5) of the total number of Shares deemed Vested at
             the beginning of the Exercise Period.  In no event may the
             Option be exercised after April 1, 1998.

                            (b)  Notice of Exercise.  Provided that the
             Option is exercisable hereunder, the Option may be exercised
             by delivering to Seller a written notice of exercise in the
             form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Exercise Notice").  

                            (c)  Closing.  The purchase and sale of the
             Shares upon exercise of the Option will take place
             concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Exercise
             Notice, or at such other time as is agreed upon and confirmed
             in writing by the Seller and Holder, provided that each of
             the following conditions has been satisfied:

                                 (a)  the representations and warranties
             made by the Holder in the Exercise Notice shall be true and
             correct in all material respects when made and as of the
             Closing;

                                 (b)  the Holder shall have delivered to
             the Company an executed Registration Rights and Stock
             Restriction Agreement in the form attached hereto as
             Exhibit B relating to the Shares, and all such other




             052394/2-420931:/W11/144736             -2-
<PAGE>







             documents as the Company has requested as a condition to its
             consent to the transfer of the Shares;

                                 (c)  the Company shall have consented to
             the transfer of the Shares pursuant to Section 2 of the
             Registration Rights Agreement; and

                                 (d)  the Company shall have consented to
             the transfer of the Registration Rights, if required pursuant
             to Section 8 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

             At the Closing, the Holder will deliver to the Seller the
             Purchase Price, in cash, and the Seller will deliver to
             Holder an executed Assignment of the Registration Rights in
             the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.  Concurrently, the
             Seller will deliver to the transfer agent for the Common
             Stock all such documents or instruments, including stock
             powers, as are required to effect a transfer to Holder of the
             Shares purchased.  

                       4.   Investment Representation.  Seller may require
             Holder or his legal representative, heir, legatee or
             distributee, as a condition of exercising the Option, to give
             written assurance satisfactory to Seller to the effect that
             such person is acquiring the Shares for his or her own
             account for investment and not with any present intention of
             selling or otherwise distributing the same, and that such
             person is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
             Regulation D.  Unless a Registration Statement under the
             Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is in effect with respect
             to the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option, the
             exercise of the Option shall be conditioned upon the
             determination by Seller, in his sole discretion, that the
             exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and
             state securities laws.

                       5.   No Rights as Shareholder.  Neither the Holder
             nor his legal representative, heir, legatee or distributee,
             shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the
             rights of a holder with respect to, any Shares subject to the
             Option unless and until such person has exercised the Option
             pursuant to the terms hereof.

                       6.   No Transfer.  The Option shall be transferable
             only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
             During the lifetime of the Holder, only the Holder may
             exercise the Option.

                       7.   No Exercise after Expiration.  In no event may
             the Option be exercised by anyone after the expiration of the
             term of the Option established pursuant to paragraph 3(a)
             hereof.

                       8.   Restrictions on Transfer.  By accepting the
             Options and/or Shares under this Agreement, Holder
             represents, warrants and agrees as follows:  

                            (a)  Commissioner of Corporations.  Holder
             understands that transfer of the Shares may be restricted in
             accordance with Section 260.141.11 of the rules of the
             California Commissioner of Corporations (to the extent
             applicable), a copy of which is attached hereto.  

                            (b)  Securities Act of 1933.  Holder further
             understands that the Option and Shares have not been
             registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
             "Act"), and that the Option and Shares, when and if obtained,
             are not freely tradeable and must be held indefinitely unless
             registered under the Act or an exemption from such
             registration is available.  Holder understands that neither
             Seller or the Company is under any obligation to register the
             Option or Shares.  Holder further understands that although
             an exemption from registration may be available pursuant to
             Rule 144 promulgated under the Act by the Securities and
             Exchange Commission, satisfaction of a number of conditions
             is required to make a sale under that exemption, and that,
             even if Rule 144 is applicable in whole or in part, in no
             event may Holder sell the Shares to the public under such
             Rule prior to the expiration of a two-year period after
             purchase, that any such sales must be limited in amount and
             that sales can only be made in full compliance with the
             provisions of the Rule.  Holder understands that Rule 144
             contains specific requirements that there be available to the
             public certain information with respect to the Company's
             business and financial affairs, and that the Company may not
             be in compliance with the information requirements of the
             Rule at any given time.  Holder acknowledges that there is no
             assurance that the requirements will be met at the time
             Holder may want to make sales pursuant to the Rule. 

                       Holder represents that, upon exercise of the
             Option, Holder will be purchasing the Shares for Holder's own
             account and not with a view to distribution within the
             meaning of the Act, other than as may be effected in
             compliance with the Act and rules and regulations promulgated
             thereunder.  No one else has any beneficial interest in the
             Shares.  Holder has no present intention of disposing of the
             Shares at any particular time or for any particular price and
             is not aware of any particular occasion, event or
             circumstance upon the occurrence of which Holder intends to
             dispose of the Shares.  Holder understands that the Seller
             will rely upon the truth and accuracy of these
             representations in transferring the Shares without first
             registering them under the Act.  




             052394/2-420931:/W11/144736             -4-

                       9.   Compliance with Law.  Despite anything to the
             contrary herein, Shares may be sold pursuant to this
             Agreement or by Holder only after there has been compliance
             with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and
             all offers will be subject to this overriding condition.  The
             Seller will not be required to register or qualify Shares
             with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any State
             agency.  

                       10.  Fair Market Value.  If the Common Stock of the
             Company is not publicly traded as of a particular date, fair
             market value may be computed by any method the Seller
             believes in good faith will reflect the fair market value of
             the Common Stock on such day.  During such time as the Common
             Stock is publicly traded but not listed upon an established
             stock exchange, the fair market value per share of Common
             Stock shall be the last sale price on the relevant date as
             reported on the National Market System, or, if such shares
             are not reported on the National Market System but quotations
             are reported on the National Association of Securities
             Dealers Automated Quotations System, the average of the bid
             and asked prices on the relevant date, in either event as
             such price quotes are listed in The Wall Street Journal,
             Western Edition (or if not so reported in The Wall Street
             Journal any other listing service or publication known to the
             Seller).  If the Common Stock is listed on an established
             stock exchange or exchanges, such fair market value shall be
             deemed to be the closing price of the Common Stock on the
             largest such stock exchange upon which such shares are listed
             on the relevant date.  

                       11.  Adjustments Upon Changes in the Common Stock.

                            (a)  In the event that (i) the Common Stock is
             changed by a stock split, reverse stock split,
             recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of
             the Company, (ii) the outstanding number of shares of stock
             of the Company is increased through payment of a stock
             dividend, or (iii) prior to the exercise of the Option,
             Seller, as the owner of the Shares underlying the Option
             becomes entitled to new, additional or different securities
             as a result of an exchange for other securities in the
             Company or in another corporation by reclassification,
             reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or
             otherwise, proportionate adjustments will be made to the
             number of Shares underlying the Option and the Purchase
             Price.

                            (b)  In the event of a dissolution or
             liquidation of the Company, Seller shall have the discretion
             and power to shorten the time over which the Option may be
             exercised or the time over which Shares are deemed "Vested"



             052394/2-420931:/W11/144736             -5-

             under paragraph 2 of this Agreement, notwithstanding the
             provisions of this Agreement.

                            (c)  In the event of a merger or consolidation
             or other reorganization as a result of which Seller is not a
             controlling person of the surviving corporation, the Option
             shall be exercisable only prior to such merger, consolidation
             or other reorganization.

                       12.  Shares Available.  Seller shall at all times
             during the term of this Agreement keep available and free
             from encumbrance, lien or other hypothecation the number of
             Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of the option
             contained herein.

                       13.  Notices.  Any notice or other communication to
             be given hereunder by any party to another shall be in
             writing and delivered personally or sent by certified mail,
             postage prepaid, as follows:

                       SELLER:

                            Charles R. Schwab
                            [Address deleted]

                       BUYER:

                            David S. Pottruck
                            [Address deleted]

             or to such other persons or addresses as may be designated
             from time to time in writing by the parties.

                       14.  Miscellaneous.  

                            (a)  This Agreement will be governed by and
             construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
             California, as applied to agreements made and wholly
             performed within the State of California.

                            (b)  This Agreement constitutes the entire
             agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof
             and supersedes all prior agreements with respect thereto. 
             This Agreement may be modified, amended or supplemented only
             by a writing executed by the parties hereto.

                            (c)  This Agreement will survive the death or
             disability of the Seller or Holder and will be binding upon
             and inure to the benefit of their respective heirs,
             executors, administrators and assigns.
                            (d)  The representations and warranties
             contained in this Agreement will survive the execution and



             052394/2-420931:/W11/144736             -6-

             delivery of this Agreement and delivery of the Shares and
             payment therefor.

                            (e)  In the event of any litigation between
             Seller and Holder concerning this Agreement or the rights,
             duties, or obligations of either Seller or Holder in relation
             thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled, in addition
             to such other relief as may be granted, to a reasonable sum
             for attorneys' fees in that litigation.  This sum shall be
             fixed by the court as part of the costs of the litigation or
             in a separate action brought for that purpose.

                            (f)  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
             provision or portion of this Agreement shall not affect the
             validity or enforceability of the other provisions or
             portions hereof.

                            (g)  Any party hereto may, by written notice
             to the other, (i) waive any of the conditions to its
             obligations hereunder or extend the time for the performance
             of any of the obligations or actions of the other, (ii) waive
             any inaccuracies in the representations of the other
             contained in this Agreement or in any documents delivered
             pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) waive compliance with any
             of the covenants of the other contained in this Agreement,
             and (iv) waive or modify performance of any of the
             obligations of the other.  No action taken pursuant to this
             Agreement, including without limitation any investigation by
             or on behalf of any party, will be deemed to constitute a
             waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any
             representation, warranty, condition or agreement contained
             herein.  Waiver of the breach of any one or more provisions
             of this Agreement will not be deemed or construed to be a
             waiver of other breaches or subsequent breaches of the same
             provisions.

                            (h)  Each party hereto will, whenever and as
             often as requested to do so by another party hereto, do,
             execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or cause to be done,
             executed, acknowledged, delivered, filed, or recorded, all
             such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers,
             conveyances, powers of attorney, instruments, and assurances
             as such other party may reasonably request in order to carry
             out fully the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

                            (i)  This Agreement may be executed in one or
             more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original,
             but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.

                       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed
             this Agreement as of the date first above written.
