                     SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

NOTE A --  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions 
to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete 
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  Operating results for the six months ended 
September 30,1997 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the year ending March 31,1998
For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in 
Computer Associates International, Inc.'s (the 
"Registrant" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

Cash Dividends:  In May 1997, the Company s Board of 
Directors declared its regular, semi-annual cash dividend
of $.05 per share (prior to the Company s three-for-two 
stock split effective November 5, 1997).  The dividend 
was paid on July 7, 1997 to stockholders of record on 
June 20, 1997.

Net Income per Share:  Net income per share of Common 
Stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares and any dilutive common share 
equivalents outstanding. Fully diluted net income per
share is the same or not materially different from net
income per share.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards 
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required
to be adopted for both interim and annual financial 
statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the 
method currently used to compute earnings per share
and to restate all prior periods.  SFAS No. 128 will
require the Company to present basic and diluted 
earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income 
statement.  The computation of basic EPS replaces 
primary EPS.  If the Company had implemented SFAS No. 128
during this quarter, it would have reported basic EPS
of $.50 and $.41 for the quarters ended September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively.  Diluted EPS would have been $.48 
and $.39 for the respective quarters.  The Company would 
have reported basic EPS of $.79 and $.63 for the six 
months ended September 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Diluted EPS for the respective six month periods would
have been $.75 and $.60.

Stock Split:  On October 21, 1997 the Company declared
a three-for-two stock split in the form of a stock 
dividend, to be distributed November 26, 1997 to 
shareholders of record as of November 5, 1997.  Shares 
and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect this
stock split as well as the three-for-two split effective
June 19, 1996.

Statements of Cash Flows:  For the six months ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996, interest payments were
$64 million and $30 million, respectively, and income
taxes paid were $212 million and $119 million, respectively.

NOTE B  --  ACQUISITIONS

On November 11, 1996, the Company acquired 98% of 
the issued and outstanding shares of Common 
Stock of Cheyenne Software, Inc. ("Cheyenne"), and 
on December 2, 1996 merged into Cheyenne one of 
its wholly owned subsidiaries. The aggregate 
purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion was 
funded from drawings under the Company's $2 billion 
credit agreements. Cheyenne was engaged in the 
design,development,  marketing,  and  support of storage,  
management,  security and communications software 
for desktops and distributed enterprise networks. 
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. 
The results of Cheyenne's operations have been 
combined with those of the Company since the date 
of acquisition. 

The Company recorded a $598 million after-tax 
charge against earnings for the write-off of 
purchased Cheyenne research and development technology that 
had not reached the working model stage and had 
no alternative future use.  The research and 
development charges recorded are generally based 
upon a discounted cash flow analysis. 

The following table reflects pro forma combined 
results of operations (unaudited) of the Company 
and Cheyenne on the basis that the acquisition had 
taken place and the related after-tax charge, 
noted above, was recorded at the beginning of fiscal year 1997:

In management's opinion, the pro forma combined 
results of operations are not indicative of the 
actual results that would have occurred had the 
acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of 
fiscal year 1997 or of future operations of the combined 
companies under the ownership and operation of the 
Company.

NOTE C  -- THE 1995 KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

Under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan 
(the 1995 Plan) a total of 20.25 million 
restricted shares were available for grant to 
three key executives.  In January 1996, 1.35 
million shares of the initial grant of 6.75 million shares vested, 
subject to the continued employment of the key 
executives through March 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company 
began accruing the compensation expense 
associated with these 1.35 million  shares over 
the employment period.  Additional grants of 13.5 
million shares are available under the 1995 Plan and have 
been reserved pending the achievement of certain 
price targets in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000.  
The additional grants and the unvested portion of 
the initial grant are subject to risk of forfeiture 
through March 31, 2000.  However, if the closing 
price of the Company s common stock on the NYSE exceeds $53.33 
for 60 trading days within any twelve month 
period, all 20.25 million shares vest immediately 
and will no longer be subject to forfeiture.  In 
such event, the Company will be required to record a 
one time, non cash charge of approximately one 
billion dollars. These shares will continue to be subject 
to significant limitations on transfer during the 
seven years following vesting.

All references to the number of shares available 
and reserved for grant, as well as share prices 
have been adjusted to reflect three-for-two stock splits 
effective November 1997, June 1996 and August 
1995.

Item 2:

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Statements in this Form 10-Q concerning the 
company s future prospects are  forward looking 
statements  under the federal securities laws.  
There can be no assurances that future results 
will be achieved and actual results could differ 
materially from forecasts and estimates.  
Important factors that could cause actual results 
to differ materially are discussed below in the 
section Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 
1997 increased by 13% over the prior year s 
comparable quarter.  The increase reflects the 
acceptance of the Company s enterprise pricing 
options, as well as the continued growth of licensing fees 
from expanding client/server products.  Unicenter 
TNG (The Next Generation), a family of integrated 
business solutions for monitoring and 
administering across multi-platform environments, accounted for 
approximately 26% of the Company s overall 
revenue.  International revenue decreased by 1% for the 
September 1997 quarter compared to the September 
1996 quarter.  Approximately $30 million of this 
decrease is attributable to strengthening of the 
US dollar against most currencies.  Maintenance revenues 
decreased $7 million, or 4%, primarily due to the 
ongoing trend of  site consolidations and 
expanding client/server revenues which yield lower 
maintenance.  Price changes did not have a 
material impact in either quarter.

Costs and Expenses:

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as 
a percentage of total revenue for the September 
1997 quarter decreased to 38% from 39% for the 
September 1996 quarter.    The modest percentage 
reduction reflects a higher revenue achievement without a 
proportionate increase in total fixed and variable 
administrative costs.  Net research and 
development expenditures increased $14 million, or 
18%, over the September 1996 quarter. Continued emphasis on 
adapting and enhancing products for the client/server 
environment, in particular Unicenter TNG and 
Jasmine, the addition of Cheyenne product 
development personnel and broadening of the Company s 
Internet/Intranet product offerings were largely 
responsible for the increase.  Commissions and royalties as a 
percentage of revenue was 5% for both the 
September 1997 and 1996 quarters.  Depreciation and 
amortization expense decreased $21 million in the 
September 1997 quarter from the September 1996 quarter.  The 
decrease was primarily due to completion of the 
amortization associated with the On-Line Software 
International, Inc. and Pansophic Systems, Inc. 
acquisitions, as well as the scheduled reduction 
in the amortization associated with The ASK Group, 
Inc. and Legent Corporation acquisitions.  This 
decrease was only partially offset by the 
additional accelerated purchased software amortization 
related to the Cheyenne Software, Inc. acquisition.  In the 
September 1997 quarter, net interest expense increased by $8 
million over the September 1996 quarter as a result of 
higher debt levels associated with the Cheyenne 
acquisition.

Item 2:  (Continued)

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Margins:

The pre-tax income of $435 million for the 
September 1997 quarter is an increase of 23%, or 
$81 million, over the September 1996 quarter pre-tax of $354 
million.   As a percentage of total revenue, pre-
tax income for the September 1997 quarter was 39%, an 
increase of three percentage points over the pre-
tax margin for the quarter ended September 1996.  The 
Company s consolidated effective tax rate was 
37.5% for the September 1997 quarter compared with 
37% for the prior  year s comparable quarter.

Operations:

The Company s products are designed to improve the 
productivity  and efficiency  of its clients  
information  processing resources.  Accordingly, 
in a recessionary environment, the Company s 
products are often a reasonable economic alternative to 
customers faced with the prospect of incurring 
expenditures to increase their existing  
information processing  resources.  However, a 
general or regional slowdown in the world economy 
could adversely affect the Company s operations.

The Company has traditionally reported lower 
profit margins in the first two quarters of each 
fiscal year than those experienced in the third and fourth 
quarters.  As part of the annual budget process, 
management establishes higher discretionary 
expense levels in relation to projected revenue 
for the first half of the year.  Historically, the Company s 
combined third and fourth quarter revenues have 
been greater than the first half of the year, as these 
two quarters coincide with clients  calendar year 
budget periods and culmination of the Company s annual 
sales plan.  These historically higher second half 
revenues have resulted in significantly higher 
profit margins since total expenses have not 
increased in proportion to revenue.  However, past financial 
performance should not be considered to be a 
reliable indicator of future performance.

The Company s future operating results may be 
affected by a number of other factors, including, 
but not limited to: uncertainties relative to global 
economic conditions; the Company s increasing 
reliance on a single family of products; market acceptance of 
competing technologies; the availability and cost 
of new solutions; delays in delivery of new products or 
features; the Company s ability to successfully 
maintain or increase market share in its core business while 
expanding its product base into other markets; the 
strength of its distribution channels; the 
Company s ability to manage fixed and variable 
expense growth relative to revenue growth; and the Company s 
ability to effectively integrate acquired products 
and operations.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company s cash, cash equivalents and 
marketable securities for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1997 decreased by approximately $3 million from 
the balance at June 30, 1997.  For the quarter 
ended September 30 1997, cash generated from operations 
totaled $245 million. This cash was primarily used 
for bank debt repayments of $185 million, treasury 
stock purchases of $ 33 million, and dividends of 
$ 18 million.

At September 30, 1997, $ 1,490 million was 
outstanding under the Company s credit facilities 
and $320 million remains outstanding under the Company s 
6.77% Senior Notes.  Borrowing costs and facility 
fees are based upon the achievement of certain 
financial ratios. 

The total number of shares purchased under the 
Company s various open market Common Stock 
repurchase programs as of September 30, 1997, was 
approximately 119 million shares, including .8 
million for the most recent quarter. The total 
shares available for repurchase at September 30, 
1997 are approximately 45 million.  These amounts have been 
adjusted to reflect the November 1997 three for 
two stock split. 

The Company s capital resource requirements as of 
September 30, 1997 consisted of lease obligations 
for office space, computer equipment, mortgage or loan 
obligations and amounts due as a result of product 
and company acquisitions.  In addition, the 
Company is proceeding with a project to purchase 
land and construct a building in the United Kingdom for 
approximately $150 million.  It is expected that 
existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term marketable 
securities, the availability of borrowings under 
committed and uncommitted credit lines, as well as cash 
provided from operations, will be sufficient to 
meet ongoing cash requirements.

          and agents as it may deem desirable for the 
          administration of the Plan, and may rely upon any

          connection with the Plan unless arising out of such

          under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of 
          the Company.

      (e) The Committee shall select one of its 
          members as a Chairman and shall adopt such rules and

          meeting duly called and held at which a majority of

          determination set forth in writing and signed by all 
          of the members of the Committee shall be as fully

           granted Options or SARs under this Plan.

      4.2  Terms and Conditions.

           The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a written 
           option agreement in a form approved by the Committee.  Such 
           Option shall be subject to the following express terms and 
           conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not 
           inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, which the 
           Committee may deem appropriate.

           (a) Terms of Options.

               The term of each Option shall be for such period as 
               the Committee shall determine, but for not more than 
               ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof;

<PAGE>

               to any individual who, at the time of grant is a Ten 
               Percent Stockholder, such period shall not exceed five 
               (5) years from the date of grant.

           (b) Exercise Price.

               The exercise price per share for the Common Stock 
               covered by any Option (the Exercise Price) shall be 
               determined by the Committee and shall not be less than 
               the Fair Market Value (or in the case of an Option 
               granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, 110 percent of 
               the Fair Market Value) of one (1) share of Common 
               Stock (but in no event less than the par value) on the 
               date the Option is granted. The aggregate Fair Market 
               Value (determined at the time the ISO is granted) of 
               the shares of Common Stock (together with all other 
               stock of the Company and all stock of any Parent or 
               Subsidiary) with respect to which ISOs may first 
               become exercisable by an individual optionee during 
               any calendar year, under all stock option plans of the 
               Company and of its Parents and Subsidiaries, shall not 
               exceed $100,000.

          (c) Exercise of Options.

              An Option may be exercised from time to time by 
              written notice by the optionee of his intent to 
              exercise the Option with respect to a specified number 
              of shares.  Alternatively, the Company may provide for 
              exercise of an optionee s Option by delivery of an 
              irrevocable notice of exercise signed by the optionee, 
              accompanied by payment in full of the Exercise Price 
              by the optionee s broker and an irrevocable 
              instruction to the Company to deliver the shares of 
              Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option 
              promptly to the optionee s broker for the optionee s 
              account, provided that at the time of such exercise 
              the optionee is not subject to Section 16(b) of the 
              Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), 
              or that such exercise would not subject the optionee 
              to liability under such Section 16(b) pursuant to 
              Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3 or any 
              successor rule or regulation of the Commission.  In 
              either case, the specified number of shares will be 
              issued and transferred to the optionee upon receipt by 
              the Company of (i) such notice and (ii) payment in 
              full for such shares.
 
          (d) Payment of Exercise Price Upon Exercise.

              The medium for payment of the Exercise Price for the 
              shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option 
              shall be exercised shall be determined by the 
              Committee and specified in each option agreement and 
              may include payment in (i) cash (or by certified or 
              bank check), (ii) whole shares of Common Stock already 
              owned by the optionee, valued at their Fair Market 
              Value on the date immediately preceding the date of 
              exercise, (iii) a combination of cash (or certified or 
              bank check) and Common Stock equal to the Exercise 
              
<PAGE>

              Price or (iv) such other form of consideration as the 
              Committee may, in it sole discretion, determine to be 
              acceptable.

(e)  Exercise Period; Termination of Employment.

             (1) No Exercise Within One Year of 
                 Grant.  The Committee shall have the discretion 
                 to determine when each Option granted hereunder 
                 shall become exercisable, and to prescribe any 
                 vesting schedule limiting the exercisability of 
                 such Options as it may deem appropriate.  Unless 
                 the Committee affirmatively determines 
                 otherwise, no Option shall become exercisable 
                 prior to the date which is one (1) year after 
                 the date on which  the Option was granted.

             (2) By Reason of the Participant s 
                 Death.  If the optionee dies while an employee 
                 of the Company or a Subsidiary, all outstanding 
                 Options not exercised by the optionee prior to 
                 death shall remain exercisable (to the extent 
                 that the optionee was entitled so to exercise it 
                 at the date of his death) by the estate or by 
                 the person given authority to exercise such 
                 Options by his will or by operation of law for a 
                 period of one (1) year from the date of the 
                 optionee s death; provided, however, that no 
                 Option may be exercised more than ten (10) years 
                 from the date of grant or the date such Option 
                 expires by its terms.
                 
                 In the event an Option is exercised by the 
                 executor or administrator of a deceased 
                 optionee, or by the person or persons to whom 
                 the Option has been transferred by the 
                 Optionee s will or the applicable laws of 
                 descent and distribution, the Company shall be 
                 under no obligation to deliver stock thereunder 
                 unless and until the Company is satisfied that 
                 the person or persons exercising the Option is 
                 or are the duly appointed executor(s) or 
                 administrator(s) of the deceased optionee or the 
                 person to whom the Option has been transferred 
                 by the optionee s will or by the applicable laws 
                 of descent and distribution.

             (3) By Reason of the Participant s 
                 Retirement or Disability.  If an optionee 
                 retires at or after age 65 (or, at his early 
                 retirement date as defined in any retirement 
                 plan of the Company or a Subsidiary which is 
                 qualified under Section 401 et seq. of the 
                 Code), all outstanding Options not exercised by 
                 the optionee prior to the termination of his 
                 employment shall, unless otherwise specified in 
                 his option agreement, remain exercisable (to the 
                 extent that the optionee was entitled to 
                 exercise them at the date of such age 65 
                 retirement or early retirement) for a period of 
                 three (3) months after termination of 
                 employment.  If an optionee terminates due to 
                 disability, all outstanding Options not 
                 exercised by the Optionee prior to the 

<PAGE>
                 
                 termination of employment shall, unless 
                 otherwise specified in his option agreement, 
                 remain exercisable (to the extent that the 
                 optionee was entitled to exercise them at the 
                 date of such termination ) for a period of one 
                 (1) year from the date of termination of the 
                 optionee s employment.  Notwithstanding anything 
                 in the foregoing to the contrary, no Option may 
                 be exercised more than ten (10) years after the 
                 date of grant thereof.  As used in this 
                 subsection, the term disability shall refer to 
                 a condition causing an employee to be unable to 
                 engage in any substantially gainful activity by 
                 reason of any medically determinable physical or 
                 mental impairment which can be expected to 
                 result in death or can be expected to last for a 
                 continuous period of not less than twelve (12) 
                 months.

             (4) By Reason of Other Separation 
                 from Service.  Upon any termination of 
                 employment not governed by Section 4.2(e)(2) or 
                 (3) thereof, all outstanding Options not 
                 exercised by the optionee prior to the 
                 termination of his employment shall terminate on 
                 the date his employment terminates; provided, 
                 however, that the Committee may, in its 
                 discretion, extend the period for exercise up to 
                 a date not more than ninety (90) days following 
                 such termination of employment in the case of an 
                 ISO, and not more than one year following such 
                 termination of employment in the case of all 
                 other Options.  The assignment of any optionee 
                 from the Company to a Subsidiary or from a 
                 Subsidiary to the Company or from one Subsidiary 
                 to another Subsidiary shall not be considered a 
                 termination of employment.
                 
                 For purposes of this Agreement, the employment 
                 of an optionee shall be treated as continuing 
                 intact while the optionee is on military leave, 
                 sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence 
                 (such as temporary employment with the 
                 Government) if the period of such leave does not 
                 exceed ninety (90) days, or if longer, so long 
                 as the optionee s right to reemployment with the 
                 Company or a Subsidiary is guaranteed either by 
                 statute or by contract.  Where the period of 
                 leave exceeds ninety (90) days and where the 
                 optionee s right to re-employment is not 
                 guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the 
                 employment relationship shall be deemed to have 
                 terminated on the ninety-first (91st) day of 
                 such leave.

4.3   Designation of Options.
     
      Each written option agreement which provides for the grant 
      of ISOs shall designate such Options as ISOs.

4.4	Incentive Stock Options.

<PAGE>

      Each provision of the Plan and of each written option 
      agreement relating to an Option designated as an ISO shall 
      be construed so that such Option qualifies as an ISO, and 
      any provision that cannot be so construed shall be 
      disregarded.

4.5	Waiver of Restrictions on Exercisability Upon a Change in 
      Control.

      (a) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, 
          determine that any option agreement to be executed 
          with respect to Options to be granted to an individual 
          under the Plan shall, or that any existing option 
          agreement (or agreements) executed with respect to all 
          or any portion of Options previously granted to the 
          individual under this Plan shall be amended to, 
          include a provision stating that if, during the period 
          of one (1) year ending on the first anniversary of the 
          effective date of any Change of Control Transaction,

          (1) the optionee s employment with 
              the Company or any Subsidiary shall be 
              terminated without just cause (relating to the 
              specific optionee) on the part of the Company; 
              or

          (2) the optionee s aggregate 
              annual compensation shall be materially reduced,
              then the Options granted to the optionee (or the 
              relevant portion thereof) shall, notwithstanding any 
              vesting schedule or period of non-exercisability 
              imposed on such Options pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(e) 
              of this Plan, and without any further action of the 
              Company or the Committee, immediately become 
              exercisable in full, effective as of the date of such 
              change in the optionee s employment status.
   
      (b) For purposes of this Paragraph, a Change 
          of Control Transaction shall be deemed to have 
          occurred if more than thirty (30%) percent of the 
          aggregate voting power of all classes of outstanding 
          securities of the Company ordinarily entitled to vote 
          in elections of directors shall be acquired (whether 
          by direct purchase, exchange upon merger or otherwise) 
          by another corporation or other person or group 
          without the prior consent (evidenced by a resolution 
          adopted at a duly called meeting of the Board or by a 
          written statement of action) of a majority of the 
          Continuing Directors.  Group shall mean persons who 
          act in concert as described in Section 14(d)(2) of the 
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  In 
          addition, any transfer or sale of substantially all 
          the assets of the Company shall constitute a Change 
          of Control Transaction.

      (c) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, 
          determine at any time that all or any portion of 
          Options granted to an individual under the Plan shall, 
          notwithstanding any restrictions on exercisability 
          imposed pursuant to Paragraph 4.2(e), become 
          immediately exercisable in full.

4.6	Tax Gross-Ups.

<PAGE>

      The Committee may, in its sole discretion, award to any 
      optionee tax gross-up rights, which entitle the optionee to 
      cash payments from the Company at such time as income and/or 
      exercise tax liability arises with respect to the exercise 
      of Options granted hereunder.  Such tax gross-up rights may 
      be granted coincident with or after the date of grant of the 
      related Option.

V.  Stock Appreciation Rights. 

5.1  Grant of SARs

    The Committee may, in its sole discretion, from time to time 
    grant SARs to optionees in connection with (but not 
    separately from) any Option granted under this Plan.  
    Holders of SARs shall be entitled to receive upon exercise 
    thereof, in cash or Common Stock as provided in Paragraph 
    5.3(c), the difference between the Fair Market Value of the 
    Common Stock underlying the Option on the day preceding the 
    exercise date and the Exercise Price of the Option. SARs may 
    be granted with respect to all or part of the common Stock 
    issuable upon exercise of a particular Option, except as 
    otherwise expressly provided herein.

5.2 Related-to Options.

    SARs shall entitle the holder of the related Option, upon 
    exercise, in whole or in part, of the SARs, to receive 
    payment in the amount and form determined pursuant to 
    Paragraph 5.3(c).  SARs may be exercised only to the extent 
    that the related Option has not been exercised.  The 
    exercise of SARs shall result in a pro rata surrender of the 
    related Option to the extent that the SARs have been 
    exercised.

5.3  Terms and Conditions.

    The grant of SARs shall be evidenced by a written option 
    agreement in a form approved by the Committee.  Such SARs 
    shall be subject to the following express terms and 
    conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not 
    inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which the Committee 
    may deem appropriate.
   
    (a) SARs shall be exercisable at such time or 
        times and to the extent, but only to the extent, that 
        the Option to which they relate shall be exercisable.

    (b) SARs (and any Option related thereto) 
        shall in no event be exercisable during the first year 
        after the date of grant and such rights shall not be 
        transferable other than by will or by the laws of 
        descent and distribution and shall be exercisable 
        during the optionee s lifetime only by the optionee.

    (c) Upon exercise of SARs, the holder thereof 
        shall be entitled to receive an amount equal in value 
        to the difference between the per share Exercise Price 
        of the Option and the Fair Market Value per share of 
        Common Stock on the day preceding the exercise date, 
        multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which 
        
<PAGE>
        the SARs shall have been exercised.  Such amount shall 
        be paid in the form of (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common 
        Stock with a Fair Market Value on the day preceding 
        the exercise date equal to such amount or (iii) a 
        combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, all as 
        determined by the Committee.

    (d) In no event shall an SAR be exercisable at 
        a time when the Exercise Price of the related Option 
        is greater than the Fair Market Value of the shares of 
        the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such 
        Option.

VI.	Aggregate Limitation on Shares of Common Stock.

      6.1  Number of Shares of Common Stock.

          (a) Shares of Common Stock which may be issued 
              pursuant to Options or SARs granted under the Plan may 
              be either authorized and unissued shares of Common 
              Stock or authorized and issued shares of Common Stock 
              held by the Company as treasury stock.  The aggregate 
              number of shares of Common Stock reserved and 
              available for issuance under Options and SARs granted 
              under this Plan shall be sixty-seven million, five 
              hundred thousand (67,500,000) shares of Common Stock 
              (adjusted for all stock splits or stock dividends 
              through November 5,1997), subject to such adjustments 
              as may be made pursuant to Paragraph 7.8.
              (b) For purposed of Paragraph 6.1(a), in 
              addition to shares of Common Stock actually issued 
              pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the 
              Plan, there shall be deemed to have been issued under 
              the Plan a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 
              the SARs which have been exercised, except that to the 
              extent that SARs are settled by the actual delivery of 
              shares of Common Stock, the number of shares deemed to 
              have been issued under the Plan pursuant to the 
              exercise of SARs shall be reduced.

          (c) Any shares of Common Stock subject to an 
              option which for any reason either terminates  
              unexercised or expires, except by reason of the 
              exercise of a related SAR, shall again be available 
              for issuance under the Plan.

VII.  Miscellaneous.
 
     7.1 General Restrictions.

         Any Option or SAR granted under this Plan shall be subject 
         to the requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall 
         determine that any listing or registration of the shares of 
         Common Stock, or any consent or approval of any governmental 
         body, or any other agreement or consent, is necessary or 
         desirable as a condition of the granting of an award or 
         issuance of Common Stock or cash in satisfaction thereof, 
         such award may not be consummated unless such requirement is 
         satisfied in a manner acceptable to the Committee.
<PAGE>

7.2	Non-Assignability.
      
     (a) Except as provided in this subparagraph 
     (a), non-statutory options granted under the Plan may 
     not be transferred other than by will or the laws of 
     descent and distribution or pursuant to Title I of the 
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules 
     thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any 
     presently outstanding non-statutory options, or non-
     statutory options granted in the future, may be 
     transferred by the option holder to members of his 
     other immediate family, or to one or more trusts for 
     the benefit of such family members, or partnerships in 
     which such family members are the only partners, 
     provided that any such transfer shall be permitted 
     only if: (1) the optionholder does not receive any 
     consideration for such transfer, (2) written notice of 
     such proposed transfer and the details thereof shall 
     have been furnished to the Committee, and (3) the non-
     statutory stock option agreement with respect to the 
     options being transferred (including any amendments 
     thereof) which shall have been approved by the 
     Committee, expressly permits such transfer.  Any non-
     statutory options transferred to such immediate family 
     members, trusts or partnership will continue to be 
     subject to the same terms and conditions that were 
     applicable to such options immediately prior to their 
     transfer.  Any transfer in violation of this paragraph 
     shall be void and of no effect.  As used herein, the 
     term family members shall mean the optionee s 
     spouse, children and grandchildren.

     (b) No ISO or SAR granted under this Plan 
         shall be assignable or transferable except by will or 
         by the laws of descent and distribution.

7.3  Withholding Taxes.
    
     (a) The Committee shall have the right to 
         require participating employees to remit to the 
         Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, 
         state and local withholding tax requirements prior to 
         the delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the 
         Plan.  If an employee sells, transfers, assigns or 
         otherwise disposes of shares of Common Stock acquired 
         upon the exercise of an ISO within two (2) years after 
         the date on which the ISO was granted or within one 
         (1) year after the receipt of the shares of Common 
         Stock by the employee, the employee shall promptly 
         notify the Company of such disposition and the Company 
         shall have the right to require the employee to remit 
         to the Company the amount necessary to satisfy any 
         federal, state and local tax withholding requirements 
         imposed by reason of such disposition.

     (b) The Company shall have the right to 
         withhold from payments made in cash to an employee (or 
         his permitted transferee) under the terms of the Plan, 
         an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and 
         local withholding tax requirements.

<PAGE>

     (c) Amounts to which the Company is entitled 
         pursuant to Paragraph 7.3(a) or (b) may be paid at the 
         election of the employee and with the approval of the 
         Committee, either (i) in cash, withheld from the 
         employee s salary or other compensation payable by the 
         Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary), or (ii) in 
         shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the 
         employee upon exercise of an Option or SAR that have a 
         Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of 
         tax to be withheld is determined (the Tax Date) 
         equal to the amount of tax the Company is entitled to 
         withhold.  An optionee s election to have withheld 
         shares of Common Stock that are otherwise issuable 
         shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable upon 
         approval by the Committee, and shall be delivered to 
         the Company prior to the Tax Date with respect to the 
         exercise of an Option or SAR and, if the participant 
         is subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 
         16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 
         amended, shall be delivered to the Company at least 
         six (6) months prior to such Tax Date.

7.4	Investment Representation.

      Each Option or SAR agreement may provide, upon demand by the 
      Company, that the optionee or recipient shall deliver to the 
      Company at the time of any exercise of any Option or SAR a 
      written representation that the shares to be acquired are to 
      be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view 
      to the distribution thereof.  Upon such demand, delivery of 
      such representation prior to delivery of any shares shall be 
      a condition precedent to the right of the employee or such 
      other person to purchase any shares.

7.5	No Right to Employment.

      Nothing in this Plan or any agreement entered into pursuant 
      to it shall confer upon any participating employee the right 
      to continue in the employment of the Company or a Parent or 
      Subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or a Parent 
      or Subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of such 
      participating employee.

7.6	Non-Uniform Determinations.

      The Committee s determinations under this Plan (including 
      without limitation its determinations of the persons to 
      receive Options or SARs, the form amount and timing of such 
      awards and the terms and provisions of such awards) need not 
      be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons 
      who receive, or are eligible to receive, awards under this 
      plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

7.7	No Rights as Stockholders.

<PAGE>

      Employees granted Options or SARs under this Plan shall have 
      no rights as stockholders of the Company (or of a Parent or 
      Subsidiary) as applicable with respect thereto unless and 
      until certificates for shares of Common Stock are issued to 
      them.

7.8	Adjustments of Stock.

      (a) Recapitalization.
 
          In the event of changes in the Common Stock due to a 
          change in capitalization, such as a stock dividend, 
          stock split, or the exchange of the Common Stock in 
          the whole or in part for another class of shares of 
          the Company, there shall be a proportionate adjustment 
          in the number and kind of shares with respect to which 
          Options may be granted under the Plan, including any 
          shares subject to Option or SARs, and of the Option 
          price stated in any Option or SAR; provided, however, 
          that the Board may determine in its discretion that no 
          such adjustment shall be made unless the aggregate  
          effect of such change, or a series of such changes, in 
          capitalization is to increase or decrease the number 
          of outstanding shares of Common Stock by 5% or more; 
          provided, further, that any fractional shares 
          resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated.  
          The computation by the Board of any such adjustment  
          shall be conclusive.
 
      (b) Merger or Consolidation.

          In the event of a consolidation or merger in which the 
          Company is not the surviving corporation, or in the 
          event of complete liquidation of the Company, all 
          outstanding Options and SARs shall thereupon 
          terminate, provided the Board shall, at least twenty 
          (20) days prior to the effective date of any such 
          corporate event, either (a) make all outstanding 
          Options immediately exercisable or (b) arrange to have 
          the surviving corporation grant to the optionees 
          replacement options on terms which the Board 
          determines to be fair and reasonable.

7.9	Amendment or Termination of the Plan.

      The Committee, without further approval of the stockholders, 
      but with the approval of the Board, may at any time 
      terminate this Plan or any part thereof and may from time to  
      time amend this Plan as it may deem advisable; provided, 
      however, that without stockholder approval, the Committee 
      may not amend the Plan in any manner that would, absent 
      stockholder approval, disqualify the Plan for coverage under 
      Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any 
      successor rule or regulation adopted by the Commission, 
      including an amendment which would (i) increase the 
      aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be 
      issued under this plan (other than increases permitted under 
      Paragraph 7.8), (ii) extend the term of this Plan, (iii) 
      
<PAGE>
      extend the period during which an Option or SAR may be 
      exercised.  The termination or amendment of this Plan shall 
      not, without the consent of the employee, affect such 
      employee s rights under an award previously granted.

7.10	Term of Plan.

      Unless previously terminated pursuant to Paragraph 7.9, the 
      Plan shall terminate on June 24, 2001, the tenth (10th) 
      anniversary of the date on which the Plan became effective, 
      and no Options or SARs may be granted on or after such date.

VIII. Effective Date of the Plan

      The effective date of this Plan shall be June 24, 1991, the date 
      on which the Plan was adopted by the Board, subject to the 
      subsequent approval by stockholders of the Company holding not 
      less than a majority of the shares present and voting at a meeting 
      of its stockholders.  No Options or SARs may be granted hereunder 
      until the stockholders of the Company have approved the Plan.
