              quarter ended  September 28, 1997 filed  pursuant to Section 13 of
              the Exchange Act.

                  (3) The  description  of the  Registrant's  Common Stock to be
              offered hereby which is contained in its Registration Statement on
              Form 8-B filed September 24, 1987, as amended by the  Registrant's
              Form 8 dated March 28, 1989 and the Registrant's  Form 8-B/A filed
              October 19, 1995, and the Registrant's  Registration  Statement on

Item 5.       Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

              None.

Item 6.       Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

              Section  145 of the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law permits a
corporation to grant indemnification to directors,  officers and other agents in
terms sufficiently broad to permit  indemnification  under certain circumstances
for liabilities,  including expenses,  arising in connection with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Registrant, directors and
officers of the  Registrant are  indemnified to the fullest extent  permitted by
law  against all  expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees),  judgments,  fines or
settlement  amounts  incurred  or  paid by them  in any  action  or  proceeding,
including  any  action by or on behalf of the  Registrant,  on  account of their
service as an officer or director of the Registrant.  The Bylaws further provide
that the rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other  right to which  such  persons  may be  entitled  under  Delaware  General
Corporation  Law, the  Registrant's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  any bylaw,
agreement,  vote of stockholders or  disinterested  directors or otherwise.  The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant, as amended,  precludes,
with certain  exceptions,  the Registrant and its  stockholders  from recovering
monetary  damages  from  directors  for  business  decisions  that  breach  such
directors' fiduciary duty.

              The  Registrant  also maintains  directors and officers  insurance
policies which insure directors and officers against losses arising from certain
wrongful acts in their  official  capacities  and  reimburses the Registrant for
such loss for which the  Registrant has lawfully  indemnified  the directors and
officers.  In  addition,  the  Registrant  has entered  into an  Indemnification
Agreement  with each of its directors and officers  whereby the  Registrant  has
agreed to  indemnify  each  director  and  officer  from and against any and all
expenses,  losses,  claims, damages and liabilities incurred by such director or
officer while acting in his or her official capacity.

              The   Underwriting   Agreement   among  the   Registrant  and  the
underwriters  of the  Registrant's  May 1995 public  offering  contains  certain
provisions pursuant to which the underwriters may, under certain  circumstances,
indemnify the directors and officers of the  Registrant.  Directors and officers
of the Registrant may also be  indemnified  in certain  circumstances  under the
terms  of  other  underwriting  agreements  entered  into by the  Registrant  in
connection with prior public offerings.

Item 7.       Exemption from Registration Claimed.

              Not applicable.

Item 8.       Exhibits.

              (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                   (1)  To file,  during any period in which offers or sales are
                        being  made,   a   post-effective   amendment   to  this
                        Registration Statement:

                        (i)  to  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section
                             10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

                        (ii) to  reflect in the  prospectus  any facts or events
                             arising   after   the   effective   date   of   the
                             Registration  Statement  (or the most recent  post-
                             effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
                             in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
                             the  information  set  forth  in  the  Registration
                             Statement.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   any
                             increase  or  decrease  in  volume  of   securities
                             offered (if the total  dollar  value of  securities
                             offered would not exceed that which was registered)
                             and any  deviation  from the low or high end of the
                             estimated  maximum  offering range may be reflected
                             in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities
                             and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
                             in the  aggregate,  the changes in volume and price
                             represent  no more than a 20 percent  change in the
                             maximum  aggregate  offering price set forth in the
                             "Calculation  of  Registration  Fee"  table  in the
                             effective Registration Statement;

                        (iii) to include any  material information  with respect
                             to  the  plan  of   distribution   not   previously
                             disclosed  in  the  Registration  Statement  or any
                             material   change  to  such   information   in  the
                             Registration Statement;

                        provided,   however,   that  paragraphs   (a)(1)(i)  and
                        (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is
                        on Form S-3,  Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the  information
                        required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
                        those  paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed
                        by the  Registrant  pursuant  to  Section  13 or Section
                        15(d)  of the  Exchange  Act that  are  incorporated  by
                        reference in the Registration Statement.

                   (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
                        the Securities Act, each such  post-effective  amendment
                        shall  be  deemed  to  be a new  registration  statement
                        relating  to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
                        offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
                        to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                   (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
                        amendment any of the securities  being  registered which
                        remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

              (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that, for
                  purposes of  determining  any liability  under the  Securities
                  Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
                  Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
                  applicable,  each filing of an employee  benefit plan's annual
                  report  pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
                  incorporated by reference in the Registration  Statement shall
                  be deemed to be a new registration  statement  relating to the
                  securities   offered   therein,   and  the  offering  of  such
                  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
                  fide offering thereof.

              (c) Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities  arising under the
                  Securities  Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers and
                  controlling   persons  of  the  Registrant   pursuant  to  the
                  foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the Registrant has been
                  advised  that in the opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange
                  Commission  such  indemnification  is against public policy as
                  expressed   in  the   Securities   Act  and   is,   therefore,
                  unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for  indemnification
                  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by the
                  Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
                  or  controlling  person of the  Registrant  in the  successful
                  defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
                  director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
                  securities being  registered,  the Registrant will,

<PAGE>

                  unless in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the  matter  has been
                  settled  by  controlling  precedent,  submit  to  a  court  of
                  appropriate    jurisdiction    the   question   whether   such
                  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
                  the   Securities  Act  and  will  be  governed  by  the  final
                  adjudication of such issue.

                       INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY, INC.

                             1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN

                           As Adopted October 30, 1997



                1. PURPOSE.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to
attract,  retain and  motivate  eligible  persons  whose  present and  potential
contributions  are  important  to  the  success  of  the  Company,  its  Parent,
Subsidiaries  and Affiliates,  by offering them an opportunity to participate in
the Company's future  performance  through awards of stock options.  Capitalized
terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 19.

                2.       SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

                         2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2
and 14, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance
pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be 2,500,000 Shares. Subject to Sections
2.2 and 14,  Shares that are subject to issuance  upon  exercise of an Award but
cease to be subject to such Award for any  reason  other than  exercise  of such
Award will again be available for grant and issuance under this Plan.

                         2.2 Adjustment of Shares.  In the event that the number
of outstanding  Shares is changed by a stock dividend,  recapitalization,  stock
split,  reverse  stock  split,  subdivision,  combination,  reclassification  or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration, or
by a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 14.1) then, unless such change
results  in the  termination  of  all  outstanding  Awards  as a  result  of the
Corporate Transaction,  (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan and (b) the Exercise  Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding
Awards shall be proportionately adjusted,  subject to any required action by the
Board  or the  stockholders  of  the  Company  and  compliance  with  applicable
securities  laws;  provided,  however,  that  fractions  of a Share shall not be
issued but shall either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded
up to the nearest Share, as determined by the Committee; and provided,  further,
that the Exercise Price of any Award may not be decreased to below the par value
of the Shares.

                3.  ELIGIBILITY.  All  Awards  issued  under  the Plan  shall be
Nonqualified  Stock  Options.  Awards may be granted to employees,  consultants,
independent contractors and advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company; provided that such employees, consultants, independent
contractors  and  advisors  are not  officers or directors of the Company or any
Parent,  Subsidiary of Affiliate of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and provided further that such consultants,
contractors  and advisors  render bona fide services not in connection  with the
offer and sale of

securities in a capital-raising  transaction.  A person may be granted more than
one Award under the Plan.  Each person is eligible to receive up to an aggregate
maximum of 100,000 Shares per fiscal year.

                4.       ADMINISTRATION.

                         4.1 Committee Authority. The Plan shall be administered
by the Committee.  Subject to the general purposes,  terms and conditions of the
Plan,  the Committee  shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan.
The Committee shall have the authority to:

                (a)      construe  and  interpret  the Plan,  any  Stock  Option
                         Agreement and any other agreement or document  executed
                         pursuant to the Plan;

                (b)      prescribe,  amend and  rescind  rules  and  regulations
                         relating to the Plan;

                (c)      select persons to receive Awards;

                (d)      determine the form and terms of Awards;

                (e)      determine the number of Shares subject to Awards;

                (f)      determine whether Awards will be granted in replacement
                         of, or as alternatives  to, other Awards under the Plan
                         or any  other  incentive  or  compensation  plan of the
                         Company or any Parent,  Subsidiary  or Affiliate of the
                         Company;

                (g)      grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;

                (h)      determine the vesting and exercisability of Awards;

                (i)      correct any defect,  supply any omission,  or reconcile
                         any  inconsistency  in the Plan, any Award or any Stock
                         Option Agreement;

                (j)      determine the  disposition  of Awards in the event of a
                         Participant's divorce or dissolution of marriage; and

                (k)      make all other  determinations  necessary  or advisable
                         for the administration of the Plan.

                         4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the
Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole  discretion at the
time of grant of the Award or,  unless in  contravention  of any express term of
the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination  shall be final and
binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the
Plan.  The  Committee  may  delegate to one or more  officers of the 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

Company the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to  Participants  who are
not Insiders of the Company.

                5. STOCK  OPTIONS.  The  Committee  may grant Awards to eligible
persons  and shall  determine  the number of Shares  subject  to the Award,  the
Exercise Price of the Award, the period during which the Award may be exercised,
and all other terms and conditions of the Award, subject to the following:

                         5.1 Form of Option Grant.  Each Award granted under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock  Option  Agreement  and shall be in such form
and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as
the Committee  shall from time to time approve,  and which shall comply with and
be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

                         5.2 Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award shall
be the date on which the Committee makes the  determination to grant such Award,
unless  otherwise  specified by the Committee.  The Stock Option Agreement and a
copy of the Plan will be delivered to the  Participant  within a reasonable time
after the granting of the Award.

                         5.3 Exercise Period. Awards shall be exercisable within
the times or upon the events  determined  by the  Committee  as set forth in the
Stock Option Agreement;  provided,  however,  that no Award shall be exercisable
after the  expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Award is granted.  The
Committee  also may provide for the exercise of Awards to become  exercisable at
one time or from time to time,  periodically  or  otherwise,  in such  number or
percentage as the Committee determines.

                         5.4  Exercise  Price.   The  Exercise  Price  shall  be
determined by the Committee when the Award is granted and shall be not less than
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant.

                         5.5 Method of Exercise. Awards may be exercised only by
delivery  to  the  Company  of  a  written  exercise  agreement  (the  "Exercise
Agreement") in a form approved by the Committee  (which need not be the same for
each   Participant),   stating  the  number  of  Shares  being  purchased,   the
restrictions  imposed  on the  Shares,  if any,  and  such  representations  and
agreements regarding  Participant's  investment intent and access to information
and other  matters,  if any, as may be required or  desirable  by the Company to
comply with  applicable  securities  laws,  together with payment in full of the
Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

                         5.6 Termination.  Notwithstanding  the exercise periods
set forth in the Stock  Option  Agreement,  exercise of an Award shall always be
subject to the following:

                (a)      If the  Participant is Terminated for any reason except
                         death or Disability, then Participant may exercise such
                         Participant's  Awards  only  to the  extent  that  such
                         Awards would have been exercisable upon the Termination
                         Date  no  later  than   three  (3)  months   after  the
                         Termination  Date  (or  such  longer 


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                         time  period  not  exceeding   five  years  as  may  be
                         determined  by the  Committee),  but in any  event,  no
                         later than the expiration date of the Awards.

                (b)      If the  Participant  is terminated  because of death or
                         Disability (or the Participant dies within three months
                         of such termination),  then Participant's  Awards would
                         have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination
                         Date  and  must  be   exercised  by   Participant   (or
                         Participant's   legal   representative   or  authorized
                         assignee)  no later than (i) twelve (12)  months  after
                         the Termination  Date in the case of disability or (ii)
                         eighteen (18) months after the Termination  Date in the
                         case of death (or such longer time period not exceeding
                         five years as may be determined by the Committee),  but
                         in any event no later than the  expiration  date of the
                         Awards.

                         5.7 Limitations on Exercise.  The Committee may specify
a reasonable  minimum  number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of
an Award;  provided that such minimum number will not prevent  Participant  from
exercising  the  Award  for the  full  number  of  Shares  for  which it is then
exercisable.

                         5.8 Modification,  Extension or Renewal.  The Committee
may modify,  extend or renew  outstanding  Awards and authorize the grant of new
Awards in substitution therefor;  provided that any such action may not, without
the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant's rights under any
Award  previously  granted.  The  Committee  may  reduce the  Exercise  Price of
outstanding  Awards  without the consent of  Participants  affected by a written
notice to them;  provided,  however,  that the Exercise Price may not be reduced
below the minimum  Exercise  Price that would be permitted  under Section 5.4 of
the Plan for  Awards  granted  on the date the  action  is taken to  reduce  the
Exercise  Price;  and provided,  further,  that the Exercise  Price shall not be
reduced below the par value of the Shares, if any.

                6.  PAYMENT FOR SHARE  PURCHASES.  Payment for Shares  purchased
pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved
for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:

                (a)      by surrender of Shares that either: (1) have been owned
                         by  Participant  for more than six (6)  months and have
                         been paid for within the  meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and,
                         if such shares were  purchased  from the Company by use
                         of a  promissory  note,  such note has been  fully paid
                         with respect to such  Shares);  or (2) were obtained by
                         Participant in the public market;

                (b)      by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant
                         for services rendered;

                (c)      provided that a public  market for the Company's  stock
                         exists:

<PAGE>

                         (1)      through  a "same  day  sale"  commitment  from
                                  Participant  and  a  broker-dealer  that  is a
                                  member   of  the   National   Association   of
                                  Securities  Dealers (a "NASD Dealer")  whereby
                                  the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise
                                  the Award and to sell a portion  of the Shares
                                  so  purchased in order to pay for the Exercise
                                  Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
                                  commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward
                                  the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

                         (2)      through a "margin" commitment from Participant
                                  and  a   NASD   Dealer   whereby   Participant
                                  irrevocably  elects to exercise  the Award and
                                  to pledge the Shares so  purchased to the NASD
                                  Dealer in a margin  account as security  for a
                                  loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the
                                  Exercise  Price,  and  whereby the NASD Dealer
                                  irrevocably   commits  upon  receipt  of  such
                                  Shares to forward the exercise  price directly
                                  to the Company; or

                (d)      by any combination of the foregoing.

                7.       WITHHOLDING TAXES.

                         7.1  Withholding  Generally.  Whenever Shares are to be
issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require
the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state  and local  withholding  tax  requirements  prior to the  delivery  of any
certificate or certificates for such Shares.  Whenever, under the Plan, payments
in  satisfaction  of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of
an amount  sufficient  to satisfy  federal,  state,  and local  withholding  tax
requirements.

                         7.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws,
a Participant  incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise of any Award
that is subject to tax  withholding  and the Participant is obligated to pay the
Company  the  amount  required  to be  withheld,  the  Committee  may  allow the
Participant  to satisfy the minimum  withholding  tax  obligation by electing to
have the  Company  withhold  from the Shares to be issued  that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount  required to be withheld,
determined  on  the  date  that  the  amount  of  tax  to be  withheld  is to be
determined.  All  elections by a  Participant  to have Shares  withheld for this
purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

                8.       PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.

                         8.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant shall have any
of the rights of a stockholder with
respect to any Shares  until the  Shares  are issued to the  Participant.  After
Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall be a stockholder and
have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares,  including the
right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with
respect to such Shares.

                         8.2  Financial  Statements.  The Company  shall provide
financial statements to each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of
Shares under the Plan, and to each  Participant  annually during the period such
Participant has Awards outstanding;  provided, however, the Company shall not be
required to provide such financial  statements to Participants whose services in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

                9.  TRANSFERABILITY.  Subject to Section 4.1(j),  Awards granted
under the Plan,  and any interest  therein,  shall not: (a) be  transferable  or
assignable by the Participant,  (b) be made subject to execution,  attachment or
similar  process,  otherwise  than  by  will  or by  the  laws  of  descent  and
distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and Stock Option  Agreement
provisions  relating thereto or (c) during the lifetime of the  Participant,  be
exercisable by anyone other than the Participant, and any elections with respect
to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.

                10.   CERTIFICATES.   All   certificates  for  Shares  or  other
securities  delivered  under the Plan shall be  subject  to such stock  transfer
orders,  legends and other  restrictions  as the Committee may deem necessary or
advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities law, or any rules,  regulations and other  requirements of the SEC or
any stock  exchange or automated  quotation  system upon which the Shares may be
listed.

                11.  SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER  REGULATORY  COMPLIANCE.  An Award
shall not be effective  unless such Award is in compliance  with all  applicable
federal and state  securities  laws,  rules and regulations of any  governmental
body, and the  requirements of any stock exchange or automated  quotation system
upon which the  Shares may then be listed,  as they are in effect on the date of
grant  of the  Award  and  also  on the  date of  exercise  or  other  issuance.
Notwithstanding  any other  provision  in the Plan,  the  Company  shall have no
obligation to issue or deliver  certificates  for Shares under the Plan prior to
(a)  obtaining  any  approvals  from  governmental  agencies  that  the  Company
determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration
or other  qualification  of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling
of any  governmental  body  that  the  Company  determines  to be  necessary  or
advisable.  The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with
the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration,  qualification or listing
requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation
system,  and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to
do so.

                12. NO  OBLIGATION  TO EMPLOY.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award
granted  under the Plan shall  confer or be deemed to confer on any  Participant
any right to continue in the employ of, or to  continue  any other  relationship
with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit
in any way the right of the Company or any Parent,  Subsidiary  or  Affiliate of
the Company to terminate  Participant's  employment or other relationship at any
time, with or without cause.

                13.  EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS.  The  Committee  may, at any
time or from  time to time,  authorize  the  Company,  with the  consent  of the
respective  Participants,  to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and
cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy
from a Participant an Award previously  granted with payment in cash,  Shares or
other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the
Participant shall agree.

                14.      CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

                         14.1  Corporate   Transactions.   In  the  event  of  a
Corporate  Transaction (as defined in this Section 14.1), the  exercisability of
each  Award  shall  be  automatically  accelerated  so that  each  Award  shall,
immediately before the specified  effective date for the Corporate  Transaction,
become fully  exercisable  with respect to the total number of Shares and may be
exercised for all or any portion of such Shares;  provided,  that an Award shall
not be accelerated  if and to the extent that such Award is, in connection  with
the Corporate Transaction,  either to be assumed by the successor corporation or
parent thereof or to be replaced with a comparable  option to purchase shares of
the  capital  stock  of  the  successor   corporation  or  parent  thereof.  The
determination  of  comparability  shall  be  made  by  the  Committee,  and  the
Committee's  determination  shall be final,  binding  and  conclusive.  Upon the
consummation of a Corporate  Transaction,  all outstanding  Awards shall, to the
extent not previously  exercised or assumed by the successor  corporation or its
parent, terminate and cease to be exercisable.

                              "Corporate  Transaction"  means  (a) a  merger  or
acquisition  in which the  Company is not the  surviving  entity  (except  for a
transaction  the principal  purpose of which is to change the State in which the
Company is incorporated),  (b) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially  all of the  assets  of the  Company  or (c) any  other  corporate
reorganization or business  combination that is not approved by the Board and in
which  the  beneficial  ownership  of 50% or more of the  Company's  outstanding
voting stock is transferred.

                         14.2 Change in Control.  Notwithstanding  any provision
in Section 14.1 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined
in this  Section  14.2),  each Award shall  automatically  accelerate  effective
fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the Change in Control, so that
each Award shall  become fully  exercisable  with respect to the total number of
Shares and may be exercised for all or any portion of such Shares. Upon a Change
in Control,  all outstanding  Awards  accelerated shall remain fully exercisable
until the  expiration or sooner  termination  of the Award term specified in the
Stock Option Agreement.

                              A "Change  in  Control"  shall be deemed to occur:
(a) should a person or related  group of  persons,  other than the  Company or a
person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with the Company,  becomes the  beneficial  owner (within the meaning of
Rule 13d-3 of the General Rules and  Regulations  under the Exchange Act) of 25%
or more of the  Company's  outstanding  voting  stock  pursuant  to a tender  or
exchange  offer that the Board does not recommend and that the  stockholders  of
the Company  accept;  or (b) on the first date within any period of  twenty-four
(24)  consecutive  months  or less on which  there is  effected  a change in the
composition of the Board by reason of a contested


                                      -7-
<PAGE>


election  such that a majority of the Board  members  cease to be  comprised  of
individuals who either (i) have been members of the Board continuously since the
beginning of such period or (ii) have been elected or nominated  for election as
Board  members  during such  period by at least a majority of the Board  members
described  in clause (i) who were still in office at the time such  election  or
nomination was approved by the Board.

                         14.3   Dissolution.   In  the  event  of  the  proposed
dissolution  or  liquidation  of  the  Company,   the  Board  shall  notify  the
Participant  at least  fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed  action.  To the
extent  that  Awards  have not  been  previously  exercised,  such  Awards  will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

                         14.4 Assumption of Awards by the Company.  The Company,
from time to time, also may substitute or assume  outstanding  awards granted by
another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company
or otherwise,  by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in substitution of
such other company's award, or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under the Plan if the terms of such  assumed  award could be applied to an Award
granted under the Plan. Such  substitution or assumption shall be permissible if
the holder of the  substituted  or assumed  award would have been eligible to be
granted an Award  under the Plan if the other  company  had applied the rules of
the Plan to such  grant.  In the event the Company  assumes an award  granted by
another  company,  the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged
(except  that the  exercise  price and the number and nature of Shares  issuable
upon  exercise of any such option  will be  adjusted  appropriately  pursuant to
Section  424(a) of the  Code).  In the event the  Company  elects to grant a new
Award  rather than  assuming an existing  option,  such new Award may be granted
with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

                15.  ADOPTION AND  STOCKHOLDER  APPROVAL.  The Plan shall become
effective on the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "Effective Date").

                16. TERM OF PLAN. Unless earlier  terminated as provided herein,
the Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date.

                17.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may at any time
terminate  or  amend  the  Plan in any  respect,  including  without  limitation
amendment of any form of Stock Option  Agreement  or  instrument  to be executed
pursuant  to the  Plan,  provided,  however,  that no  amendment  may be made to
outstanding Awards without the consent of the Participant.

                18. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of the Plan
by the Board,  nor any provision of the Plan, shall be construed as creating any
limitations  on the power of the  Board to adopt  such  additional  compensation
arrangements  as it may  deem  desirable,  including,  without  limitation,  the
granting of stock options  otherwise than under the Plan, and such  arrangements
may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
