MEMRY CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  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 three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
June 30, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996.


Note B.  NOTES PAYABLE

On August 9, 1996, the Company entered into a term and revolving loan agreement
with Affiliated Business Credit Corporation ("ABCC"), a commercial financing
subsidiary of Center Financial Corporation, allowing up to $2.635 million of
aggregate borrowing. The term loan is a five year $1.135 million loan, with
principal payable in monthly installments of approximately $19,000. An
additional $135,000 of principal is due on or before June 30th, 1997. The entire
unpaid balance, if not earlier demanded, is due and payable on July 31, 2001;
provided, however, that ABCC has the right to accelerate the loan and require
full payment upon demand. Interest on the term loan accrues at the rate of prime
plus 2.25%. The revolving credit facility provides
<PAGE>

for borrowing at the lesser of $1.5 million or the sum of (a) 80% of eligible
accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of $500,000 or 25% of eligible
inventory. Borrowings pursuant to the revolving loan agreement are due upon
demand and bear interest, payable monthly, at prime plus 2%. The terms with ABCC
generally are more favorable than the terms that the Company's Wright subsidiary
had with Fleet Bank, the Company's prior lender. The loan documents contain
standard covenants, including security interests in substantially all of the
Company's consolidated assets, commitment fees and negative convenants
(including restrictions on dividends and other payments), which the Company does
not expect to materially impact operations. At the August 9, 1996 closing,
Wright's debt to Fleet Bank was repaid with a $140,000, or 16%, discount.

Borrowings from ABCC as of December 31, 1996, aggregated approximately 
$2,217,000. The remainder of the Company's notes payable consisted of 
subordinated demand obligations.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results.

(a)  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company was able to fund
operations from cash flow generated through its revolving credit facility, as
described below. The Company historically satisfied its cash requirements from
sales of equity securities and borrowings. During such six month period, net
cash used in operating activities was $857,000, net cash used for purchases of
property, plant and equipment was $139,000 and net cash provided by financing
activities was $965,000. As a result of the foregoing, at December 31, 1996, the
Company held cash and cash equivalents of $26,000, down $31,000 from the start
of fiscal 1997. At December 31, 1996 the Company had a working capital (current
assets less current liabilities) deficit of $1,047,000 ($195,000 worse than the
working capital deficit of $852,000 at June 30, 1996).

On August 9, 1996, the Company entered into a term and revolving loan agreement
with ABCC, a commercial financing subsidiary of Center Financial Corporation,
allowing up to $2.635 million of aggregate borrowings. The term loan is a five
year $1.135 million loan, with principal payable in monthly installments of
approximately $19,000. An additional $135,000 of principal is due


<PAGE>

 
on or before June 30, 1997. The entire unpaid balance, if not earlier demanded,
is due and payable on July 31, 2001; provided, however, that ABCC has the right
to accelerate the loan and require full payment upon demand. Interest on the
term loan accrues at the rate of prime plus 2.25%. The revolving credit facility
provides for borrowings at the lesser of $1.5 million or the sum of (a) 80% of
eligible accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of $500,000 or 25% of eligible
inventory. Borrowings pursuant to the revolving loan agreement are due upon
demand and bear interest, payable monthly, at prime plus 2%. The terms with ABCC
generally are more favorable than the terms that the Company's Wright Machine
Corporation subsidiary ("Wright") had with Fleet Bank, the Company's prior
lender. The loan documents contain standard covenants, including security
interests in substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets, commitment
fees and negative covenants (including restrictions on dividends and other
payments), which the Company does not expect to materially impact operations. At
the August 9, 1996 closing, Wright's debt to Fleet Bank was repaid with a
$140,000, or 16% discount.

The Company's only currently contemplated material capital expenditure for
fiscal 1997 is to make substantial improvements to certain machinery and
equipment located at Memry West (which is part of the Company's Memry Segment
located in Menlo Park, California, and which manufactures semi-finished
materials utilizing shape memory alloys and, through Raychem Corporation
("Raychem"), sells such materials into various industrial electronic, automotive
and medical markets) and used to manufacture Tinel-Lock product for Raychem.
However, as a result of an agreement entered into at the time of the acquisition
of Raychem's nickel-titanium product line (the "Raychem Acquisition"), it is
anticipated that Raychem will bear substantially all the costs of such
improvements. During the second quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company's liquidity 
was adversely effected by the approximately $140,000 of expenses incurred in 
connection with the move of the medical assemblies portion of the business 
purchased in the Raychem Acquisition from Menlo Park, California to the 
Company's headquarters in Brookfield, Connecticut (including related relocation 
expenses). The Company had previously expected such relocation to cost only 
slightly more than $100,000.

The Company has in the past grown through acquisitions (including both the
Raychem Acquisition and the Company's earlier acquisition of Wright) and, as
part of its continuing growth strategy, the Company expects to continue to
evaluate and pursue opportunities to acquire other companies, assets and product
lines that either complement or expand the Company's existing businesses within
the Memry Segment. The Company intends to use available cash from operations,
when and if available, and sales of equity to finance any such acquisitions that
may be sought in the future.

In connection with a December 1994 subordinated debt financing, the Company
granted Connecticut Innovations, Incorporated 
<PAGE>

 
("CII"), currently the holder of both common stock and warrants of the Company,
a "put" right if: (i) at any time before the earlier of June 28, 2006 and the
date on which CII ceases to hold at least 35% of the common stock underlying the
convertible securities originally issued to it, the Company ceases to (a)
maintain its corporate headquarters and all of its product business operations
in the State of Connecticut (including the assembly of all products to be sold
to U.S. Surgical Corporation), excluding business operations relating to
Wright's production of screw machine products and taper pins and the Company's
components and sub-assembly business acquired from Raychem, (b) base its
president and chief executive officer, a majority of its senior executives, and
all of its administrative, financial, research and development, marketing and
customer service staff relating to its product business (subject to the same
inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)) in the State of Connecticut, (c)
conduct all of its operations relating to its product business directly or
through subcontractors and through licensed operations in the State of
Connecticut (subject to the same inclusions and exclusions as clause (a)), and
(d) maintain its principal bank accounts with banks located in the State of
Connecticut, excluding all banks associated with Wright; or (ii) the Company
fails to keep the Registration Statement on Form S-2 that went effective on
January 31, 1997, covering the offer and sale by certain of the Company's
shareholders (including CII) of up to 3,550,630 shares (including up to
3,041,964 shares beneficially owned by CII) of the Company's common stock, in
effect for an aggregate of 120 days during any rolling twelve month period
during the three years which the Company is required to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Upon CII's exercise of its put, the
Company shall be obligated to purchase from CII all the Registrable Securities
then held by CII at a price equal to the greater of the then current market
price of the Company's common stock or $2.00 per share, less, in either event,
the aggregate amount of unpaid exercise prices of all warrants put to the
Company. Using $2.00 per share as the put price per share, the aggregate put
price that would have to be paid by the Company if the put were exercised would
be approximately $4,085,500. If CII were to have the right to put its securities
and were to choose to exercise that right, it would have a serious adverse
effect on the Company's liquidity and the Company would most likely have to seek
equity financing to be able to meet its obligations to CII. However, the Company
believes that it has the ability to insure that its operations do not move from
Connecticut in a manner that would trigger CII's put, and the Company intends to
cause the Registration Statement to be maintained in a manner that would prevent
CII's put from being operative.
<PAGE>
 
 
The Company believes that the combination of its improved borrowing facility,
its ability to raise equity capital in the past and operating profit being
produced by those portions of the Company's Memry Segment business acquired in
the Raychem Acquisition will be sufficient to meet the Company's working
capital requirements (assuming both that ABCC does not demand immediate
repayment of the term loan and that CII's put rights are not triggered and
exercised and, as stated above, the Company intends not to cause said put rights
to become exercisable).

The Company does not expect that there are any contingencies, other than as set
forth above, which would have a material effect on the Company's financial
condition, future operating results and/or liquidity.

(b)  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 compared to six months ended December 31,
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1995
- ----


Sales Overview.  Overall revenues increased 180%, to $6,117,000, in the first
- ---------------                                                                 
six months of fiscal 1997 from $2,181,000 during the same period in fiscal 1996.
Revenues relating to the Memry Segment were responsible for all of the increase.

Memry Sales.   Revenues at the Memry Segment increased 811% to $5,239,000 during
- ------------
the six month period ended December 31, 1996, as compared with $575,000 during
the same period in fiscal 1996. The significant increase in revenues is entirely
due to product sales resulting from the Raychem Acquisition. Medical material,
parts and component sales were responsible for 60% of the Memry Segment revenue
increase. Research and development revenues were $140,000, as compared to
$277,000, in the six month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, decreasing 50%, or $137,000. This decrease was the result of
reduced labor hours available to work on government contracts due to the efforts
made to prepare for the medical assemblies unit which moved from California to
the Connecticut location.

Wright Sales.  Wright Machine Segment revenues decreased 45% in the period ended
- -------------
December 31, 1996, from $1,606,000 to $878,000. The decrease in product sales is
the result of an earlier reduction in order backlog due to Wright's inability to
perform on orders on a timely basis due to the Company's cash constraints prior
to the consummation of the August 9, 1996 financing provided by ABCC. Wright's
backlog had decreased from $1,200,000 as of June 30, 1995, to $650,000 as of
June 30, 1996. However, Wright revenues increased from $341,00 in the first 
quarter of fiscal 1997 to $537,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  In 
addition, Wright's order backlog increased from $650,000 on June 30, 1996 to 
$1,100,000 on December 31, 1996.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------
<PAGE>
 
Manufacturing Costs Overview.  Manufacturing costs increased to $3,807,000 in
- -----------------------------                                                
the six months ended December 31, 1996, from $1,578,000 during the same six
month period in fiscal 1996. This increase of $2,229,000, or 141%, is due to the
increased sales volume related to the aforementioned Raychem Acquisition. Gross
margin increased to 35% for the six month period ended December 31, 1996,
from a 17% margin in the same fiscal 1996 period, due to the higher margin
product sales resulting from the Raychem Acquisition.

Memry Manufacturing Costs.  Memry Segment manufacturing costs increased to
- --------------------------
$2,704,000 from $281,000, an 862% increase, in the first six months of fiscal
years 1997 and 1996, respectively. The $2,423,000 increase is the result of the
increased sales volume of Memry Segment products. Gross margins increased for
the six month period ending December 31, 1996 to 48%, compared with a margin of
approximately 6% in the same fiscal 1996 period ending December 31, 1995, due to
the allocation of fixed costs to a much greater volume of sales due to the lines
of business acquired in the Raychem Acquisition.

Wright Manufacturing Costs.  The Wright Segment manufacturing costs decreased
- ---------------------------
15% to $1,103,000 from $1,297,000 in the six month periods ending December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The decreased manufacturing costs are due to the 
decrease in revenues at Wright. Gross margin decreased from 19% to negative 26%
for the same six month fiscal periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, due primarily to the reduced sales volume and an increase in
direct costs.

Research and Development Costs.  Research and development costs decreased 30%,
- -------------------------------
to $166,000, in the first six months of fiscal 1997 as compared with $235,000 in
the same period of fiscal 1996. This is the result of the revenue decrease of
50%, offset by increased internal development costs. 

General, Selling and Administrative Expense ("GS&A").  Overall GS&A increased
- -----------------------------------------------------                        
$1,154,000, or 118%, to $2,135,000 in the six months ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to $981,000 during the same period of fiscal 1996. The increase is
directly related to the addition of the California facility, which accounted for
approximately 58% of the increase. The remaining 42% is attributable to the
Connecticut facility, which incurred approximately $94,000 of expenses related
to the move of the medical assemblies unit to Brookfield from California,
employee relocation expense of $70,000, an approximate $153,000 increase in
administrative salary expense, an increase of $46,000 in travel expense, and to
the absence in the first six months of fiscal 1997 of $116,000 of negotiated

<PAGE>
 
supplier discounts taken in the corresponding period of fiscal 1996.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense
- --------------------------------------                                       
increased 538%, or $306,000, primarily as a result of the inventory, patents,
and goodwill purchased as part of the acquisition made of the nickel-titanium
product line.  In addition, the Company is amortizing over a five year period
certain debt financing costs.

Other Income(Expense).  Interest expense increased $32,000, or 29%, as a result
- ----------------------                                                         
of the $944,000 increase in notes payable.  The Company realized a gain through
the sale of fully depreciated equipment of approximately $10,000.

Gain on Retirement of Debt.  The Company, through a re-financing (as described
- ---------------------------
above in liquidity and capital resources) paid $718,000 of principal debt,
representing payment in full, to Wright's bank on loans of $858,000
which resulted in a gain of $140,000.

NET LOSS
- --------

Overview.  Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 1997 was $337,000, as
- ---------                                                                   
compared with a net loss of $771,000 for the first six months of fiscal 1996, an
improvement of $434,000. The net loss, absent the extraordinary gain on the debt
retirement, would have been $477,000. The overall improvement is a result of the
increase in revenues and margins resulting from the Raychem Acquisition and the
discount of $140,000 given by Wright's bank on its principal debt. The net loss,
however, included approximately $257,000 of non-recurring expenses attributable
to the acquisition of the nickel-titanium line, such as the move of the medical
assemblies unit to Connecticut, which was approximately $94,000, relocation
expense of $125,000 and incentive bonus expenses for various California
employees of $38,000.

Memry Segment.  Memry Segment's loss for the first six months of fiscal 1997 was
- --------------
$65,000, as compared with a net loss of $754,000 during the same fiscal 1996
period.  The improvement of $689,000 results from the significantly increased
revenues and margins.

Wright Segment.  The Wright Segment operating loss for the first six months of
- ---------------
fiscal 1997 was $412,000 as compared with $17,000 during the same six month
period in fiscal 1996. However, after the extraordinary gain on the forgiveness
of Wright's debt, the net loss was reduced to $272,000. The $395,000 increase
in net loss is directly related to the 45% reduction in revenues and an increase
in direct costs.

<PAGE>
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 compared to three months ended December 31,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1995
- ----

Sales Overview.  Overall revenues increased 251%, to $3,509,000, in the three
- ---------------                                                             
months ended December 31, 1996, from $1,000,000 during the same period in fiscal
1996.  Revenues relating to the Memry Segment were responsible for all of the
increase.

Memry Sales.  Revenues at the Memry Segment increased 1,000%, to $2,972,000,
- ------------
during the three month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared with $270,000
during the same period in fiscal 1996. The significant increase in revenues is
entirely due to the increase in product sales resulting from the acquisition of
the nickel-titanium product line from Raychem. Medical material, parts and
component sales were responsible for 60% of the Memry Segment revenue increase.
Research and development revenues were $43,000 as compared to $104,000, in the
three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, decreasing
59%, or $61,000. This decrease continued to be the result of reduced labor hours
available to work on government contracts due to the efforts made to prepare for
the medical assemblies unit which moved from California to Connecticut 
at the end of the second quarter.

Wright Sales.  Wright Machine Segment revenues decreased 26% in the period ended
- -------------
December 31, 1996, from $730,000 to $537,000.  The decrease in product sales is
the result of the reduction in order backlog due to Wright's inability to
perform on orders in fiscal 1996 due to the Company's cash constraints.

COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------

Manufacturing Costs Overview.  Manufacturing costs increased to $2,306,000 in
- -----------------------------                                                
the three months ended December 31, 1996, from $778,000 during the same three
month period in fiscal 1996.  This 196% increase is due to the increased sales
volume related to the aforementioned acquisition.  Gross margin increased 12%
during the period ended December 31, 1996 to 34%, from a 22% margin in the same
fiscal 1996 period, due to the greater volume of products sold by the Memry 
Segment and the shift in product mix from the Wright Segment to the Memry 
Segment.

Memry Manufacturing Costs.  Memry Segment manufacturing costs increased to
- --------------------------
$1,596,000 from $154,000, or 936%, in the three month period ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The $1,334,000 increase is the result of the
increased sales volume. Gross margins for the three month period ending December
31, 1996 were 46%, from a margin of 3% in the three month period ending December
31, 1995. The increase in margin is due to higher margin product sales as a
result of the Raychem Acquisition.

Wright Manufacturing Costs.  The Wright Segment manufacturing costs increased
- ---------------------------
20%, to $629,000 from $526,000, in the three month periods ending December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in manufacturing costs, 
notwithstanding the reduction in sales, was primarily due to an increase in 
direct and indirect labor rates. The 
<PAGE>
 
Gross margin decreased from 28% to a negative 17% in the same three month fiscal
periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, due primarily to the
reduced sales volume and a high level of costs.

Research and Development Costs.  Research and development costs decreased 17%,
- -------------------------------
to $81,000, in the three month period ended December 31, 1996, as compared with
$98,000 in the same period of fiscal 1996. The decrease is a result of the
revenue decrease of 59% and the increase in internal development costs of 91%.
During the three month period ended December 31, 1996, internal development
costs accounted for 85%, or $69,000, of the total research and development
costs, as compared with 37%, or $36,000, in the same period of fiscal 1996. This
increase in internal development costs arose from the efforts made to prepare
for the medical assemblies unit move from California to Connecticut.

General, Selling and Administrative Expense ("GS&A").  Overall GS&A increased
- -----------------------------------------------------                        
$756,000, or 140%, to $1,295,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to $539,000 during the same period of fiscal 1996. The increase is
directly related to the addition of the California facility, which accounted for
approximately 54% of the increase. The remaining 46% of the increase is related
to the operations of the Connecticut facility, which incurred approximately
$94,000 of expenses related to the move of the medical assemblies unit to
Brookfield from California, employee relocation expense of $70,000,an
approximate $59,000 increase in salary and benefit expense, an increase in
patent taxes attributable to the acquired patents of $20,000,an increase of
approximately $23,000 in professional fees and an increase of $20,000 in travel
expense during the three month period of fiscal 1997, and to the absence in the
same three month period of fiscal 1997 of $30,000 of negotiated supplier
discounts taken in the corresponding quarter of fiscal 1996.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense.  Depreciation and amortization expense
- --------------------------------------                                       
increased 542%, or $164,000, primarily as a result of the inventory, patents,
and goodwill purchased as part of the Raychem Acquisition. In addition, the
Company is amortizing certain debt financing costs over a five year period.

Other Income(Expense).  Interest expense increased $17,000, or 31%, as a result
- ----------------------                                                         
of the $408,000 increase in notes payable.

NET LOSS
- ----------

Overview.  Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was $342,000,
- ---------                                                                     
as compared with a net loss of $396,000 for the same period of fiscal
1996, an improvement of only $54,000.  The net loss, however, included $204,000 
of non-recurring expenses (the

<PAGE>
 
move of the medical assemblies unit to Connecticut cost approximately $94,000
and related relocation expenses cost approximately $110,000).

Memry Segment.  Memry Segment's loss for the three months ended December 31,
- --------------
1996 was $158,000, as compared with a net loss of $428,000 during the same
fiscal 1996 period. The improvement of $270,000 results from the significantly
increased revenues and margins. The improvement would have been greater but for
the significant costs related to the move of the medical assemblies unit to
Connecticut (amounting to $94,000) and relocation expense of $110,000.

Wright Segment.  The Wright Segment loss for the three months ended December 31,

1996 was $184,000, as compared with a $32,000 profit during the same three month
period in fiscal 1996. The decrease in profit of $216,000 is the result of
decreased revenues and resulting negative gross margins.

      shares ranking junior either as to dividends or upon liquidation, to the
      shares of such series;

            (8) the conditions or restrictions, if any, upon the issue of any
      additional shares (including additional shares of such series or any other
      series or of any other class) ranking on a parity with or prior to the
      shares of such series either as to dividends or upon liquidation; and

            (9) any other relative powers, preferences and participating,
      optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or
      restrictions thereof, of shares of such series; the provisions of this
      Certificate of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law of the State

Company for cause, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, or by

the resale or distribution of any such shares.  In the absence of such
registration statement, the Employee shall be required to execute a written
affirmation, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, of such
investment intent and to further agree that he or she will not sell or transfer
any Stock acquired pursuant to the Option until he or she requests and receives
an opinion of the Company's counsel to the effect that such proposed sale or
transfer will not result in a violation of the '33 Act, or a registration
statement covering the sale or transfer of the shares has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or he or she obtains a no-
action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the
proposed transfer.

     (i)  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the purchase price of the
shares as to which an Option shall be exercised shall be paid to the Company at
the time of exercise either in cash or in Stock already owned by the optionee,
or a combination of cash and Stock, or in such other consideration acceptable to
the Committee (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
relinquishment of a portion of the Option) as the Committee deems appropriate,
having a total Fair Market Value equal to the purchase price.  For purposes of
this Section 4(i), the fair market value of the portion of an Option that is
relinquished shall be the excess of

          (x)  the Fair Market Value at the time of exercise of the number of
               shares of Stock subject to the portion of the Option that is
               relinquished over

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
          (y)  the aggregate exercise price specified in the Option with respect
               to such shares.

     (j)  Upon exercise of an SAR, the Employee shall be entitled to receive all
or a portion of (i) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of
Stock at the time of exercise over (ii) a specified amount which shall not,
subject to Section 4(i), be less than the Fair Market Value of such specified
number of shares of Stock at the time the SAR is granted.  Upon exercise of an
SAR, payment of such excess shall be made in cash or Stock, or both, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

     (k)  If the Option granted to an Employee allows the Employee to elect to
cancel all or any portion of an unexercised Option by exercising a related
(tandem) SAR, then the Option price per share of Stock shall be used as the
specified price in Section 4(j), to determine the value of the SAR upon such
exercise, and, in the event of the exercise of such SAR, the Company's
obligation in respect of such Option or such portion thereof will be discharged
by payment of the SAR so exercised.

5.   Certificates for Award of Stock
     -------------------------------

     (a)  Each Employee entitled to receive shares of Stock under the Plan shall
be issued a certificate for such shares.  Such certificate shall be registered
in the name designated by the Employee, and shall bear an appropriate legend
reciting the terms, conditions and restrictions, if any, applicable to such
shares and shall be subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders.

     (b)  Shares of Stock shall be made available under the Plan either from
authorized and unissued shares, or shares held by the Company in its treasury.
The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for
shares of Stock prior to (i) the listing of such shares on any stock exchange on
which the Stock may then be listed, (ii) the completion of any registration or
qualification of such shares under any federal or state law, or any ruling or
regulation of any governmental body, which the Committee shall, in its sole
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable and (iii) the recipient's
execution of a shareholders agreement providing such terms and conditions as the
Committee may determine in its sole discretion.

     (c)  All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan also
shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon
which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state securities
laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.  The foregoing
provisions of this Section 5(c) shall not be effective if and to the extent that
the shares of Stock delivered under the Plan are covered by an effective and
current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, or if, and so
long as, the Committee determines that application of such provisions is no
longer required or desirable.  In making such determination, the Committee may
rely upon an opinion of counsel for the Company.

     (d)  Each Employee who receives Stock upon exercise of an Option shall have
all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including the
right to vote the shares and receive dividends and other distributions.  No
Employee awarded an Option shall have any right as a shareholder with respect to
any shares subject to such Option prior to the date of issuance to him or her of
a certificate or certificates for such shares.

6.   Beneficiary
     -----------

     (a)  Each Employee shall file with the Company a written designation of one
or more persons as the Beneficiary who shall be entitled to receive the Option
or SAR, if any, awarded under the Plan upon his or her death.  An Employee may
from time to time revoke or change his or her Beneficiary designation without
the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the
Company.  The last such designation received by the Company shall be
controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation
             --------  -------                                              
thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Company prior to the
Employee's death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to
such receipt.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     (b)  If no such Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of a
Employee's death, or if no designated Beneficiary survives the Employee or if
such designation conflicts with law, the Employee's estate shall be entitled to
receive the Option, if any, awarded under the Plan upon his or her death.  If
the Company is in doubt as to the right of any person to receive such Option or
SAR, the Company may retain such Option or SAR, without liability for any income
thereon, until the Company determines the rights thereto, or the Company may
transfer such Option or SAR into any court of appropriate jurisdiction and such
payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Company therefor.

7.   Administration of the Plan
     --------------------------

     (a)  The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of such other committee as appointed by the Board (the "Committee").  The
Committee shall have at least two members and each member shall be a "Non-
Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or successor rule or regulation.  No member of the
Committee shall have been granted an option or SAR under the Plan or have been
granted or awarded an option or other right with respect to equity securities of
the Company pursuant to any other plan of a Participating Company at any time
within the one-year period immediately preceding the member's appointment to the
Committee.

     (b)  All decisions, determinations or actions of the Committee made or
taken pursuant to grants of authority under the Plan shall be made or taken in
the sole discretion of the Committee and shall be final, conclusive and binding
on all persons for all purposes.

     (c)  The Committee shall have full power, discretion and authority to
interpret, construe and administer the Plan and any part thereof, and its
interpretations and constructions thereof and actions taken thereunder shall be
final, conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes.

     (d)  The Committee's decisions and determinations under the Plan need not
be uniform and may be made selectively among Employees, whether or not such
Employees are similarly situated.

     (e)  The act of a majority of the members present at a meeting duly called
and held shall be the act of the Committee.  Any decision or determination
reduced to writing and signed by all members of the Committee shall be fully as
effective as if made by unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held.

     (f)  Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Committee
shall not be required to direct the Company to grant any Options or SARs under
this Plan.

8.   Amendment or Discontinuance
     ---------------------------

     The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan.  No amendment
shall, without approval by a majority of the Company's stockholders, (i) alter
the group of persons eligible to participate in the Plan, (ii) materially
increase the benefits provided under the Plan to the extent that stockholder
approval would then be required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or successor rule or regulation, (iii) increase the maximum
number of shares of Stock which are available for awards under the Plan or (iv)
extend the period during which Options may be granted under the Plan beyond the
expiration of ten years from the effective date of the Plan.  No amendment or
termination shall retroactively impair the rights of any person with respect to
an Option or SAR.

9.   Adjustments in Event of Change in Common Stock
     ----------------------------------------------

     (a)  Subject to Section 9(b), if the outstanding shares of Stock of the
Company are increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares or other securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares
or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or
other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all of substantially
all of the property of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
distribution with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, then,

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
to the extent permitted by the Company, an appropriate and proportionate
adjustment shall be made in (i) the maximum number and kind of shares provided
in Section 3, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to
the outstanding Options and SARS, if any, and (iii) the price for each share or
other unit of any other securities subject to outstanding Options or SARs
without change in the aggregate purchase price or value as to which such Options
or SARS remain exercisable or subject to restrictions.  Any adjustment under
this Section 9(a) shall be made by the Board, whose determination as to what
adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and
conclusive.  No fractional interests will be issued under the Plan resulting
from any such adjustment.

     (b)  Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary,  the Board, in
its sole discretion at the time of grant of an  Option or SAR or otherwise may,
in an Option Agreement or otherwise, provide that, with any Employee's consent,
upon the occurrence of certain events, including a change in control of the
Company (as determined by the Board) any outstanding Options or SARs, not
theretofore exercisable, shall immediately become exercisable in their entirety
and that any such Option or SAR may be purchased by the Company for cash at a
price to be determined by the Board.

10.  Miscellaneous
     -------------

     (a)  Nothing in this Plan or any Option Agreement hereunder shall confer
upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of any Participating
Company or interfere in any way with the right of any Participating Company to
terminate his or her employment at any time.

     (b)  No Option or SAR granted under the Plan shall be deemed salary or
compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit
plan or other arrangement of any Participating Company for the benefit of its
employees unless any such Participating Company shall determine otherwise.

     (c)  No Employee shall have any claim to an Option or SAR until it is
actually granted under the Plan.  To the extent that any person acquires a right
to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such right shall be no
greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

     (d)  Absence on leave approved by a duly constituted officer of a
Participating Company shall not be considered interruption or termination of
employment for any purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that no Option or
                                         --------  -------                   
SAR may be granted to an employee while he or she is absent on leave.

     (e)  If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any Option or SAR,
or portion thereof, is awarded to under the Plan is unable to care for his or
her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, then any payment due
him or her (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed
legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to
his or her spouse, a child, a relative, an institution maintaining or having
custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a
proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment.  Any
such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Company
therefor.

     (f)  The right of any Employee or other person to any Option, SAR or Stock
under the Plan may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered, either
voluntarily or by operation of law, except as provided in Section 6 with respect
to the designation of a Beneficiary or as may otherwise be required by law.  If,
by reason of any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, or encumbrance or any
bankruptcy or other event happening at any time, any amount payable under the
Plan would be made subject to the debts or liabilities or the Employee or his or
her Beneficiary or would otherwise devolve upon anyone else and not be enjoyed
by the Employee or his or her Beneficiary, then the Committee may terminate such
person's  interest in any such payment and direct that the same be held and
applied to or for the benefit of the Employee, his or her Beneficiary or any
other persons deemed to be the natural objects of his or her bounty, taking into
account the expressed wishes of the Employee (or, in the event of his or her
death, those of his or her Beneficiary) in such manner as the Committee may deem
proper.

     (g)  Copies of the Plan and all amendments, administrative rules and
procedures and interpretations shall be made available to all Employees at all
reasonable times at the Company's headquarters.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     (h)  The Committee may cause to be made, as a condition precedent to the
grant and exercise of any Option or SAR, or otherwise, appropriate arrangements
with the Employee or his or her Beneficiary, for the withholding of any federal,
state, local or foreign taxes prior to the delivery of any certificate or
certificates for Stock.

     (i)  The Plan and the grant and exercise of Options and SARs shall be
subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and to
such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required.

     (j)  All elections, designations, requests, notices, instructions and other
communications from an Employee, Beneficiary or other person to the Committee,
required or permitted under the Plan, shall be in such form as is prescribed
from time to time by the Committee and shall be mailed by first class mail or
delivered to such location as shall be specified by the Committee.

     (k)  The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Company and its
successors and assigns.

     (l)  Captions preceding the sections hereof are inserted solely as a matter
of convenience and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of any
provision hereof.

11.  Effective Date and Stockholder Approval
     ---------------------------------------

     The effective date of the Plan shall be September 24, 1993, subject to
approval by a majority of the Company's stockholders at the 1994 Annual Meeting.
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the Plan shall have
been approved by the Board prior to such stockholder approval, Employees may be
selected and award criteria may be determined as provided herein subject to such
subsequent stockholder approval.

                                          NONTRANSFERABLE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION
                                   AGREEMENT dated as of ________ __, 199_,
                                   between MEMRY CORPORATION, a Delaware
                                   corporation (the "Company"), and
                                   _______________ (the "Optionee", which term
                                   as used herein shall be deemed to include any
                                   successor to the Optionee by will or by the
                                   laws of descent and distribution, unless the
                                   context shall otherwise require).


          Pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan, as amended (as so
amended, the "Plan"), the Company, acting through the Compensation Committee of
its Board of Directors (the "Committee"), approved the issuance to the Optionee,
effective as of the date set forth above, of an incentive stock option to
purchase up to an aggregate of [# OF SHARES] shares of Common Stock, $.01 par
value, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), at the price (the "Option Price") of
[PRICE] per share, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and
undertakings hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.   OPTION; OPTION PRICE.  On behalf of the Company, the Committee
               --------------------                                          
hereby grants to the Optionee the option (the "Option") to purchase, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan (which are incorporated
by reference herein and which in all cases shall control in the event of any
conflict with the terms, definitions and provisions of this Agreement), [# OF
SHARES] shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price per share
equal to the Option Price, which Option is intended to qualify for federal
income tax purposes as an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  A copy of
the Plan as in effect on the date hereof has been supplied to the Optionee, and
the Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt thereof.

          2.   TERM.  The term (the "Option Term") of the Option shall commence
               ----                                                            
on the date of this Agreement and shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the
date of this Agreement, unless such Option shall theretofore have been
terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or of the Plan.
<PAGE>
 
          3.   TIME OF EXERCISE.  (a)  Unless accelerated in the discretion of
               ----------------                                               
the Committee or as otherwise provided herein, the Option shall become
exercisable as to the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
Option in accordance with Exhibit A attached hereto; provided, however, no part
                                                     --------  -------         
of such Option may be exercised by the Optionee until such Optionee shall have
remained in the employ of the Company or any corporation which at the time the
Option is granted qualifies as a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company under
Section 424(f) of the Code (any of the aforementioned, a "Participating
Company") for at least one year from the date of grant of the Option, unless
employment of the Optionee is terminated on account of death or a Total
Disability (as defined in Section 4(a)(iii) below).  Subject to the provisions
of Sections 5 and 8 hereof, shares as to which the Option becomes exercisable
pursuant to the foregoing provisions may be purchased at any time thereafter
prior to the expiration or termination of the Option.

               (b)  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Option shall not be exercisable to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date hereof of all
stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the
first time by the Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and all
other plans of all Participating Companies) exceeds $100,000.  In the event that
such aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds $100,000, such excess portion shall
roll over into the next calendar year and be counted towards the $100,000 cap in
such calendar year.

          4.   TERMINATION OF OPTION.  (a)  The unexercised portion of the
               ---------------------                                      
Option (which portion was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination) (the
"Unexercised Portion") shall automatically terminate and shall become null and
void and be of no further force or effect upon the first to occur of the
following:

                    (i) the expiration of the Option Term;

                    (ii) the expiration of three months from the date that the
     Optionee ceases to be an employee of a Participating Company for any reason
     (including death), other than as a result of a Total Disability (as defined
     in subparagraph (iii) below), a Resignation (as defined in subparagraph
     (iv) below) or a Termination For Cause (as defined in subparagraph (iv)
     below)); provided, however, that if the Optionee ceases to be an employee
              --------  -------                                               
     other than due to death but subsequently dies during such three-month
     period, the Unexercised Portion shall be exercisable by the Optionee's
     executors or administrators during such period in accordance with Section
     10 hereof;

                    (iii) the expiration of 12 months from the date that the
     Optionee ceases to be an employee of a

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
     Participating Company as a result of the Optionee's permanent and total
     disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) (a "Total
     Disability");

                    (iv) immediately if the Optionee ceases to be employed by
     any Participating Company if such termination is a voluntary termination by
     the Optionee (a "Resignation") or a termination for cause or is otherwise
     attributable to a breach by the Optionee of an employment, noncompetition
     or other similar agreement with a Participating Company (any such
     termination, determined in accordance with paragraph (c) below, a
     "Termination For Cause"); provided, however, a retirement on or after an
                               --------  -------                             
     early or normal retirement date in accordance with the terms and conditions
     of a retirement plan adopted by a Participating Company shall not be deemed
     to be a Resignation;

                    (v) except to the extent permitted by Section 10(f) of the
     Plan, the date on which the Option or any part thereof or right or
     privilege relating thereto is transferred (otherwise than by will or the
     laws of descent and distribution), assigned, pledged, hypothecated,
     attached or otherwise disposed of by the Optionee.

               (b)  Any unexercised portion of the Option which was not
exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by any Participating
Company shall terminate at midnight on the date on which such employment ceases.

               (c)  The Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power
to determine what constitutes a Termination For Cause, and the date upon which
such Termination For Cause occurs. Any such determination shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon the Optionee.

               (d)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or position of the
Optionee (including a transfer to or from any Participating Company), so long as
the Optionee continues to be an employee of a Participating Company.

          5.   PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE.  (a)  The Option may be exercised, from
               ----------------------                                         
time to time, in whole or in part (but for the purchase of whole shares only),
by delivery of a written notice (the "Notice") from the Optionee to the
Secretary of the Company, which Notice shall:

                    (i) state that the Optionee elects to exercise the Option;

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
                    (ii) state the number of shares of Common Stock with respect
     to which the Option is being exercised (the "Optioned Shares");

                    (iii) state the method of payment for the Optioned Shares
     pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof;

                    (iv) state the date upon which the Optionee desires to
     consummate the purchase of the Optioned Shares (which date must be prior to
     the termination of such Option and no later than 30 days from the delivery
     of such Notice);

                    (v) include any representations of the Optionee required
     under Section 8(b) hereof; and

                    (vi) if the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 10
     hereof by any person other than the Optionee, include evidence to the
     satisfaction of the Committee of the right of such person to exercise the
     Option.

               (b)  Payment of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares shall be
made (i) in cash or by personal or certified check, (ii) by delivery of stock
certificates (in negotiable form) representing shares of Common Stock that have
been owned of record by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the date
of exercise and that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to
the product of (A) the number of Optioned Shares which are being purchased
pursuant to the exercise of such Option, multiplied by (B) the applicable Option
Price, (iii) a combination of either of the methods set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) above, (iv) (A) by arrangements which are acceptable to the Committee and
as permitted by applicable law whereby the Optionee relinquishes a portion of
the Option, or (B) in compliance with any other cashless exercise program
authorized by the Committee for use in connection with the Plan at the time of
such exercise, or (v) in such other consideration as shall be acceptable to the

or other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all of substantially
all of the property of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization,

without change in the aggregate purchase price or value as to which such Option
remains exercisable or subject to restrictions. Any adjustment under this
Section 7 shall be made by the Company's Board of Directors, whose determination
as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof will be final,

effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "'33
Act") and appropriate qualification and registration under applicable state
securities laws relating to the Optioned Shares being acquired pursuant to the
Option, the Optionee shall be required, upon exercise of the Option, to give to
the Company a written representation, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that he or she is acquiring the Optioned Shares for his or her own
account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with,
the resale or distribution of any such shares. The Optionee shall be further
required to agree that he or she will not sell or transfer any Optioned Shares
acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option until he or she requests and
receives an opinion of the Company's counsel to the effect that such proposed
sale or transfer will not result in a violation of the '33 Act, or a
registration statement covering the sale or transfer of the shares has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or he or she
obtains a no-action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to the proposed transfer.

contrary) to terminate the Optionee's employment or to increase or decrease the
Optionee's compensation at any time.

be exercisable, during the period specified in Section 4(a)(ii) hereof, by his
or her executors or administrators to the full extent to which the Option was
exercisable by the Optionee at the time of his or her death. The Option shall

                              AGREEMENT dated as of ________ __, 199_, between
                              MEMRY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
                              "Company"), and _______________ (the "Optionee",
                              which term as used herein shall be deemed to

Option may be exercised by the Optionee until such Optionee shall have remained
in the employ of the Company or any corporation which at the time the Option is
granted qualifies as a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company under Section
424(f) of the Code (any of the aforementioned, a "Participating Company") for at
least one year from the date of grant of the Option, unless employment of the
Optionee is terminated on account of death or a Total Disability (as defined in
Section 4(a)(iii) below).  Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8 hereof,
shares as to which the Option becomes exercisable pursuant to the foregoing
provisions may be purchased at any time thereafter prior to the expiration or
termination of the Option.

          4.   TERMINATION OF OPTION.  (a)  The unexercised portion of the
               ---------------------                                      
Option (which portion was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination) (the
"Unexercised Portion") shall automatically terminate and shall become null and
void and be of no further force or effect upon the first to occur of the
following:

                    (i) the expiration of the Option Term;

                    (ii) the expiration of three months from the date that the
     Optionee ceases to be an employee of a Participating Company for any reason

     in subparagraph (iii) below), a Resignation (as defined in subparagraph
     (iv) below) or a Termination For Cause (as defined in subparagraph (iv)
     below)); provided, however, that if the Optionee ceases to be an employee
              --------  -------                                               
     other than due to death but subsequently dies during such three-month
     period, the Unexercised Portion shall be exercisable by the Optionee's
     executors or administrators during such period in accordance with Section
     10 hereof;

                    (iii) the expiration of 12 months from the date that the
     Optionee ceases to be an employee of a Participating Company as a result of

                    (iv) immediately if the Optionee ceases to be employed by
     any Participating Company if such termination is a voluntary termination by
     the Optionee (a "Resignation") or a termination for cause or is otherwise
     attributable to a breach by the Optionee of an employment, noncompetition
     or other similar agreement with a Participating Company (any such
     termination, determined in accordance with paragraph (c)

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
     below, a "Termination For Cause"); provided, however, a retirement on or
                                        --------  -------                    
     after an early or normal retirement date in accordance with the terms and
     conditions of a retirement plan adopted by a Participating Company shall
     not be deemed to be a Resignation;

                    (v) except to the extent permitted by Section 10(f) of the
     Plan, the date on which the Option or any part thereof or right or
     privilege relating thereto is transferred (otherwise than by will or the
     laws of descent and distribution), assigned, pledged, hypothecated,
     attached or otherwise disposed of by the Optionee.

               (b)  Any unexercised portion of the Option which was not
exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be employed by any Participating
Company shall terminate at midnight on the date on which such employment ceases.

               (c)  The Board of Directors of the Company shall have the power
to determine what constitutes a Termination For Cause, and the date upon which
such Termination For Cause occurs. Any such determination shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon the Optionee.

               (d)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Option shall not be affected by any change of duties or position of the
Optionee (including a transfer to or from any Participating Company), so long as
the Optionee continues to be an employee of a Participating Company.

          5.   PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE.  (a)  The Option may be exercised, from
               ----------------------

          pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof;

                    (iv) state the date upon which the Optionee desires to
          consummate the purchase of the Optioned Shares (which date must be

                    (v) include any representations of the Optionee required
          under Section 8(b) hereof; and

                    (vi) if the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 10
          hereof by any person other than the Optionee, include evidence to the
          satisfaction of the Committee of the right of such person to exercise
          the Option.

               (b)  Payment of the Option Price for the Optioned Shares shall be
made (i) in cash or by personal or certified check, (ii) by delivery of stock
certificates (in negotiable form) representing shares of Common Stock that have
been owned of record by the Optionee for at least six months prior to the date
of exercise and that have a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to
the product of (A) the number of Optioned Shares which are being purchased
pursuant to the exercise of such Option, multiplied by (B) the applicable Option
Price, (iii) a combination of either of the methods set forth in clauses (i) and
(ii) above, (iv) (A) by arrangements which are acceptable to the Committee and
as permitted by applicable law whereby the Optionee relinquishes a portion of
the Option, or (B) in compliance with any other cashless exercise program
authorized by the Committee for use in connection with the Plan at the time of
such exercise, or (v) in such other consideration as shall be acceptable to the
Committee. For the purpose of the preceding clause (iv)(A), the fair market
value of the portion of the Option that is relinquished shall be the Fair Market
Value at the time of exercise of the number of Optioned Shares subject to the
portion of the Option that is relinquished less the aggregate Option price
specified in the Option with respect to such Optioned Shares.

               (c)  The Company shall issue a stock certificate in the name of
the Optionee (or such other person exercising the Option in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10 hereof) for the Optioned Shares as soon as practicable
after receipt of the Notice and payment of the aggregate Option Price for such
shares.

          6.   NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER.  The Optionee shall not have any
               --------------------------                                  
privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Optioned Shares
until the date of issuance of a stock certificate pursuant to Section 5(c)
hereof.

          7.   ADJUSTMENTS.  If the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
               -----------                                                   
Company are increased, decreased, or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares or other securities, or if additional shares or new or different shares
or other securities are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock
or other securities, through merger, consolidation, sale of all of substantially
all of the property of the Company, reorganization, recapitalization,

shares of Common Stock or other securities, then an appropriate and
proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the number and kind of shares or
other securities subject to the Option and (ii) the price for each share or
other unit of any other securities subject to the Option without change in the
aggregate purchase price or value as to which such Option remains exercisable or
subject to restrictions. Any adjustment under this Section 7 shall be made by
the Company's Board of Directors, whose determination as to what adjustments
shall be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. No
fractional interests will be issued under the Plan resulting from any such
adjustment.

          8.   ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO EXERCISE.  (a) The Option shall
               -----------------------------------------                       
be exercisable only on such date or dates and during such period and for such
number of shares of Common Stock as are set forth in this Agreement.

               (b)  To exercise the Option, the Optionee shall follow the
procedures set forth in Section 5 hereof. Unless at the time of exercise of the
Option there shall be, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, a valid and
effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "'33
Act") and appropriate qualification and registration under applicable state
securities laws relating to the Optioned Shares being acquired pursuant to the
Option, the Optionee shall be required, upon exercise of the Option, to give to
the Company a written representation, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that he or she is acquiring the Optioned Shares for his or her own
account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with,
the resale or distribution of any such shares. The Optionee shall be further
required to agree that he or she will not sell or transfer any Optioned Shares
acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option until he or she requests and
receives an opinion of the Company's counsel to the effect that such proposed
sale or transfer will not result in a violation of the '33 Act, or a
registration statement covering the sale or transfer of the shares has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or he or she
obtains a no-action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to the proposed transfer.

               (c)  Stock certificates representing shares of Common Stock
acquired upon the exercise of the Option that have not been registered under the
Securities Act shall bear the following legend:

     THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
     SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
     SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF
     A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES
     UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
     FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH SALE, OFFER
     FOR SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION DOES NOT VIOLATE
     THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH
     ACT.

          9.   NO EVIDENCE OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE.  Nothing contained in the
               ------------------------------------                           
Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in
the employ of a Participating Company or interfere in any way with the right of
a Participating Company (subject to the terms of any separate agreement to the
contrary) to terminate the Optionee's employment or to increase or decrease the
Optionee's compensation at any time.

          10.  RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER.  The Option may not be transferred,
               -----------------------                                     
pledged, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in any way by the
Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as may
otherwise be required by law, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the
Optionee only by the Optionee. If the Optionee dies, the Option shall thereafter
be exercisable, during the period specified in Section 4(a)(ii) hereof, by his
or her executors or administrators to the full extent to which the Option was
exercisable by the Optionee at the time of his or her death. The Option shall
not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted
assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option
contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution, attachment or
similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

          11.  TAXES.  Whenever shares of Common Stock are to be delivered to
               -----                                                         
the Optionee upon exercise of the Option, the Company shall be entitled to
require as a condition of delivery that the Optionee remit or, in appropriate
cases, agree to remit when due, an amount sufficient to satisfy all current or
estimated future federal, state and local withholding tax and employment tax
requirements relating thereto; provided, however, if such funds are not so
                               --------  -------                          
remitted to the Company and at such time the Optionee is an Employee of a
Participating Company, the Company may withhold such portion of the Optionee's
salary as is equal to the amount of such tax requirements.

          12.  NOTICES.  All notices or other communications which are required
               -------

Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or
condition, whether of like or different nature.

          14.  OPTIONEE UNDERTAKING.  The Optionee hereby agrees to take
               --------------------
