ITEM 3.        INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"COMMISSION") are incorporated herein by reference:

          (a)  The Registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section
          13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
          "EXCHANGE ACT"), or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
          424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"),
          that contains audited financial statements for the Registrant's latest
          fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.

          (b)  All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
          Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the annual
          report or the prospectus referred to in (a) above.

          (c)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in the
          Registrant's registration statement filed under Section 12 of the
          Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose
          of updating such description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or
which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing
of such documents.

ITEM 4.        DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

               Not Applicable

ITEM 5.        INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

               Not Applicable

ITEM 6.        INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The provisions of Section 317 of the California Corporations Code, Article V of
the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Article VI of the Registrant's
Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law for
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actual and reasonably
incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that
any person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant.  This
indemnification may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's officers and directors for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act.
In addition, Article IV of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provides
that the liability of the Registrant's directors shall be eliminated to the
fullest extent permissible under California law.

The Registrant has entered into Indemnity Agreements with each of its current
directors to give such directors additional contractual assurances regarding the
scope of the indemnification and liability limitations set forth in the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.


                                        3

The Registrant currently carries a director and officer liability insurance

ITEM 9.        UNDERTAKINGS.

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 1933
          Act;

     (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;

     (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.


                                        4
<PAGE>


     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if
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 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 1933 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the 1933 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than 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 hereby, the Registrant will, 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.

                             1986 STOCK OPTION PLAN

         AS AMENDED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THROUGH DECEMBER 14, 1994

            AS AMENDED BY THE SHAREHOLDERS THROUGH FEBRUARY 15, 1995


     1.   PURPOSE.  This Stock Option Plan ("PLAN") is established to provide
incentives for selected persons to promote the financial success and progress of
Radius Inc. (the "COMPANY") by granting such persons options to purchase shares
of stock of the Company.

     2.   ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  This Plan shall become effective
on the date that it is adopted by the Board of Directors (the "BOARD") of the
Company.  This Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the Company, in any
manner permitted by applicable corporate law, within twelve months before or
after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board.

     3.   TYPES OF OPTIONS AND SHARES.  Options granted under this Plan (the
"OPTIONS") may be either (a) incentive stock options ("ISOS") within the meaning
of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended at the time of
Grant (the "CODE"), or (b) nonqualified stock options ("NQSOS").  The shares of
stock that may be purchased upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan
(the "SHARES") are shares of the common stock of the Company.

     4.   NUMBER OF SHARES.  The maximum number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to Options granted under this Plan is 2,975,000 Shares, subject to
adjustment as provided in this Plan.  If any Option is terminated for any reason
without being exercised in whole or in part, the Shares thereby released from
such Option shall be available for purchase under other Options subsequently
granted under this Plan.  At all times during the term of this Plan, the Company
shall reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be required to
satisfy the requirements of outstanding Options under this Plan.

     5.   ADMINISTRATION.  This Plan may be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company or a committee appointed by the Board (the
"COMMITTEE").  If two or more members of the Board are Outside Directors (as
defined in Section 6(d) of the Plan), the Committee shall be comprised of at
least two members of the Board, all of whom are Outside Directors.  So long as
the Company has a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as then in effect (the "Exchange Act") and a majority of the Board
is not comprised of Disinterested Persons, the Company will take appropriate
steps to comply with the disinterested administration requirements of Section
16(b) of the Exchange Act, which shall consist of the appointment by the Board
of a Committee consisting of not less than two members of the Board, each of
whom is a Disinterested Person (as defined in Section 6(e) of the Plan.  So long
as the Company has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act a
majority of the Board members acting on any matters affecting the administration
of this Plan (including the grant of any Options pursuant to this Plan to any
officer or director of the Company or other person (in each case, an "INSIDER")
whose transactions in the Company's common stock are subject to Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act) must be Disinterested Persons; provided, however, that this
restriction shall not apply to votes on the grant of any Options pursuant to
this Plan other than to Insiders.  The interpretation by the Committee of any of
the provisions of this Plan or any Option granted under this Plan shall be final
and binding upon the Company and all persons having an interest in any Option or
any Shares purchased pursuant to an Option.  The Committee may delegate the
authority to officers of the Company to grant Options under this Plan to
Optionees who are not Insiders of the Company.   As


                                       -1-
<PAGE>

used in this Plan, references to the "Committee" shall mean either the committee
appointed by the Board to administer this Plan, or the Board if no committee has
been established.

     6.   ELIGIBILITY.  Options may be granted only to such employees, officers,
employee-directors, consultants and independent contractors of the Company or
any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company as the Committee shall select
from time to time in its sole discretion ("OPTIONEES"), provided that only
employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company shall be
eligible to receive ISOs.  Each "Named Executive Officer" (as that term is
defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act)
shall be eligible to receive up to 1,000,000 Shares at any time during the term
of this Plan pursuant to the grant of Awards hereunder.  An Optionee may be

Plan.  As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:

          (a)  "PARENT" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company if, at the time of
granting of the Option, each of such corporations other than the Company owns

of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

          (b)  "SUBSIDIARY" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of
granting of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last corporation
in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such
chain.

          (c)  "AFFILIATE" means any corporation that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under
common control with another corporation, where "control" (including the terms
"controlled by" and "under common control with") means the possession, direct or
indirect, of the power to cause the direction of the management and policies of
the corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract
or otherwise.

          (d)  "OUTSIDE DIRECTOR" shall mean any director who is NOT (i) a

shall have the meaning set forth in such regulations, as amended from time to

          (f)  "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall mean the average of the last reported
bid and asked prices for common stock of the Company on the last trading day
prior to the date of determination or, in the event the common stock of the
Company is listed on a stock exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System, the
Fair Market Value shall be the closing price on such exchange or quotation
system on the date of determination.

     7.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  The Committee shall determine
whether each Option is to be an ISO or an NQSO, the number of Shares for which
the Option shall be granted, the exercise price of the Option, the periods
during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of
the Option, subject to the following terms and conditions:

          (a)  FORM OF OPTION GRANT.  Each Option granted under this Plan shall
be evidenced by a written Stock Option Grant ("GRANT") in such form (which need
not be the same for each Optionee) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, which Grant shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan.

          (b)  EXERCISE PRICE.  The exercise price of an Option shall be not
less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time that the Option is
granted, except that NQSOs may be granted with an exercise price equal to or
greater than 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time the option
is granted.  The exercise price of any Option granted to a person owning 10% or
more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company ("TEN PERCENT SHAREHOLDER") shall not
be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of the
grant.

          (c)  EXERCISE PERIOD.  Options shall be exercisable within the times
or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Grant,
provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of
ten years from the date the Option is granted, and provided further that no
Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall be exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted.  No Option that is
issued as a result of any increase in the number of shares authorized to be
issued under this Plan shall be exercised prior to the time such issuance has
been approved by the shareholders of the Company.

          (d)  LIMITATIONS ON ISOS.  If the Fair Market Value of the stock with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during
any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of
stock shall be ISOs and Options for the amount in excess of $100,000 that
becomes exercisable in that year shall be NQSOs.

          (e)  DATE OF GRANT.  The date of grant of an Option shall be the date
on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option unless
otherwise specified by the Committee.  The Grant representing the Option shall
be delivered to the Optionee within a reasonable time after the granting of the
Option.

     8.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

          (a)  NOTICE.  Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company
of a written exercise notice in a form approved by the Committee stating the
number of Shares being purchased together with payment in full of the exercise
price for the number of Shares being purchased.

          (b)  PAYMENT.  Payment for the Shares may be made (i) in cash (by
check), (ii) by surrender of shares of common stock of the Company that have
been owned by Optionee for more than six (6) months (and which have been paid
for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 and,


                                        -3-
<PAGE>

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 were obtained by the
Optionee in the open public market, having a Fair Market Value equal to the
exercise price of the Option; (iii) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to
Optionee for services rendered;  (iv) through a "same day sale" commitment from
the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers (an "NASD DEALER") whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to
exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased 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; (v)
through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the
Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option 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; (vi) where permitted by applicable law and approved by
the Committee in its sole discretion, by tender of a full recourse promissory
note having such terms as may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest
at a rate sufficient to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274
of the Code; or (vii) by any combination of the foregoing where approved by the
Committee in its sole discretion.  Optionees who are not employees or directors
of the Company shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note
unless the note is adequately secured by collateral other than the Shares.

          (c)  WITHHOLDING TAXES.  Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise
of an Option, the Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for any
applicable federal or state withholding obligations of the Company.

          (d)  LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.  Notwithstanding the exercise periods
set forth in the Grant, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the
following limitations:

                 (i)     An Option shall not be exercisable unless such exercise
is in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 ACT"),
and all applicable state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of
exercise.

                (ii)     The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number
of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such
minimum number will not prevent the Optionee from exercising the full number of
Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

     9.   NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  If an Option is an ISO, or if Optionee
is an Insider subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, then an Option may
not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the law of descent and
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by
the Optionee.  Otherwise, an Option may only be transferred to Optionee's
immediate family, to a trust for the benefit of Optionee or Optionee's immediate
family, or to a charitable entity qualified under IRC Section 501(c), where
"immediate family" shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, brother
or sister.  The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

     10.  PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.  No Optionee shall have any of the
rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option until
the Option has been validly exercised.  No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or distributions or other rights for


                                        -4-
<PAGE>

which the record date is prior to the date of exercise, except as provided in
this Plan.  The Company shall provide to each Optionee a copy of the annual
financial statements of the Company, at such time after the close of each fiscal
year of the Company as they are released by the Company to its shareholders.

     11.  ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES.  In the event that the number of
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company is changed by a stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration,
the number of Shares available under this Plan and the number of Shares subject
to outstanding Options and the exercise price per share of such Options shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or
shareholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws;
provided, however, that no certificate or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon exercise of any Option and any resulting fractions of a
Share shall be ignored.

     12.  NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY.  Nothing in this Plan or any Option granted
under this Plan shall confer on any Optionee any right to continue in the employ
of 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 the Optionee's employment at any time, with or without
cause.

     13.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  The grant of Options and the issuance of Shares
upon exercise of any Options shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance
with all applicable requirements of law, including without limitation compliance
with the 1933 Act, any required approval by the Commissioner of Corporations of
the State of California, compliance with all other applicable state securities
laws and compliance with the requirements of any stock exchange or national
market system on which the Shares may be listed.

     14.  ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS BY SUCCESSORS.  In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, a merger in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, any
or all outstanding Options shall be assumed by the successor corporation or an
equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation which
assumption or substitution shall be binding upon all Optionees.  In the event of
a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation and the successor
corporation, if any, refuses to assume the Option or substitute an equivalent
option, the Option shall accelerate and become exercisable in full at least ten
days prior to and shall expire on, (and, if the Company has reserved to itself a
right to repurchase shares issued upon exercise of Options at the original
purchase price of such shares, such right shall terminate upon), the
consummation of such merger at such times and on such conditions as the
Committee shall determine.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the
time an Option is granted) of stock with respect to which ISOs granted on or
after January 1, 1987 first become exercisable in the year of such dissolution,
liquidation, merger or sale of assets cannot exceed $100,000.  Any remaining
accelerated ISOs granted on or after January 1, 1987 shall be treated as NQSOs.

     15.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Committee may at any time
terminate or amend this Plan in any respect (including, but not limited to, any
form of Grant, agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan);
provided, however, that the Committee shall not, without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such
shareholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder as such provisions apply to this Plan or pursuant to the Exchange Act
or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) promulgated thereunder.  In any case, no
amendment of this Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Options or any
unexercised portions thereof without the written consent of the Optionee.

     16.  TERM OF PLAN.  Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan from time
to time within a period of ten years from the date this Plan is adopted by the
Board of Directors.

     17.  RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES.  At the discretion of the Committee, the
Company may reserve to itself or its assignee(s) in the Grant a right to
repurchase any or all Shares held by an Optionee upon the Optionee's termination
of employment or service with the Company or its Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of the Company for any reason within a specified time as determined by the
Committee at the time of grant at (a) the Optionee's original purchase price,
(b) the Fair Market Value of such Shares or (c) a price determined by a formula
or other provision set forth in the Grant.

                                   RADIUS INC.

                        1994 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

            As Adopted by the Board of Directors on December 14, 1994

              As Approved by the Shareholders on February 15, 1995


     1.   PURPOSE.  This 1994 Directors Stock Option Plan (this "Plan") is
established to provide equity incentives for nonemployee members of the Board of
Directors of Radius Inc. (the "Company"), who are described in Section 6.1
below, by granting such persons options to purchase shares of stock of the
Company.

     2.   ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.  This Plan shall become effective
on the date that it is adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Effective Date").  This Plan shall be approved by the shareholders of the
Company, consistent with applicable laws, within twelve (12) months after the
Effective Date.  Options ("Options") may be granted under this Plan on or after
the Effective Date provided that, in the event that shareholder approval is not
obtained within the time period provided herein, this Plan, and all Options
granted hereunder, shall terminate.  No Option that is issued as a result of any
increase in the number of shares authorized to be issued under this Plan shall
be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the
shareholders of the Company and all such Options granted pursuant to such
increase shall similarly terminate if such shareholder approval is not obtained.
So long as the Company is subject to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") the Company will comply with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 with respect to shareholder approval.

     3.   TYPES OF OPTIONS AND SHARES.  Options granted under this Plan shall be
nonqualified stock options ("NQSOs").  The shares of stock that may be purchased
upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan (the "Shares") are shares of
the Common Stock of the Company, no par value.

     4.   NUMBER OF SHARES.  Subject to adjustment as provided in this Plan, the
total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to
the Plan shall be Shares consisting of 100,000 shares, plus the total number of
shares authorized for issuance, but not issued or subject to outstanding
options, under the Company's Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Prior Plan") as
of the date of shareholder approval of this Plan.  Any shares issuable upon
exercise of options granted pursuant to the Prior Plan that expire or become
unexercisable for any reason after the date of shareholder approval of this Plan
without having been exercised in full, shall no longer be available for
distribution under the Prior Plan, but shall be available for distribution under
this Plan.  If any Option is terminated for any reason without being exercised
in whole or in part, the Shares thereby released from such Option shall be
available for purchase under other Options subsequently granted under this Plan.
At all times during the term of this Plan, the Company shall reserve and keep
available such number of Shares as shall be required to satisfy the requirements
of outstanding Options under this Plan.

     5.   ADMINISTRATION.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Board").  The interpretation by the Board of any
of the provisions of this Plan or any Option granted under this Plan shall be
final and binding upon the Company and all persons having an interest in any
Option or any Shares purchased pursuant to an Option.

     6.   ELIGIBILITY AND AWARD FORMULA.

          6.1  ELIGIBILITY.  Options may be granted only to directors of the
Company who are not employees of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company, as those terms are defined in Section 17 below (each
an "Optionee").

<PAGE>

          6.2  INITIAL GRANT.  Each Optionee who on or after the Effective Date
becomes a member of the Board will automatically be granted an Option for 10,000
Shares (the "Initial Grant").  Initial Grants shall be made on the later of the
Effective Date or the date such Optionee joins the Board.

          6.3  SUCCEEDING GRANTS.  Each year on the anniversary of the date of
the Optionee's Initial Grant hereunder or the anniversary of the date of
Optionee's initial grant under the Prior Plan, if the Optionee is still a member
of the Board, the Optionee will automatically be granted an Option for 2,500
Shares (the "Succeeding Grant").

          6.4     ADDITIONAL GRANT.  In addition, each director who received a
grant under the Prior Plan after August 30, 1994 and before the date of
shareholder approval of this Plan will receive a one time grant of an option to
purchase 1,250 shares of Common Stock upon shareholder approval of this Plan,
provided the director continues to serve on the Board at the time of such
approval.

     7.   TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  Subject to the following and to
Section 6 above:

          7.1  FORM OF OPTION GRANT.  Each Option granted under this Plan shall
be evidenced by a written Stock Option Grant ("Grant") in such form as the Board
shall from time to time approve, which Grant shall comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions of this Plan.

          7.2  VESTING.  Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable as
to 25% of the Shares on the first anniversary of the Grant Date for continuous
service as a director and as to an additional 25% of such Shares on each
subsequent anniversary of the Grant Date for continuous service as a director
thereafter.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if an Optionee ceases to
serve as a member the Board, all Initial Grants and Succeeding Grants held by
such Optionee shall cease to vest.

          7.3  EXERCISE PRICE.  The exercise price of an Option shall be the
Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 17.4) of the Shares, at the time that
the Option is granted.

          7.4  TERMINATION OF OPTION.  Except as provided below in this Section,
each Option shall expire ten (10) years after the date of grant (the "Expiration
Date").  The date on which the Optionee ceases to be a member of the Board shall
be referred to as the "Termination Date".  An Option may be exercised after the
Termination Date only as set forth below:

               (a)  TERMINATION GENERALLY.  If the Optionee ceases to be a
member of the Board for any reason except death or disability, each Option, to
the extent (and only to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by the
Optionee on the Termination Date, may be exercised by the Optionee within three
(3) months after the Termination Date, but in no event later than the Expiration
Date.

               (b)  DEATH OR DISABILITY.  If the Optionee ceases to be a member
of the Board because of the death of the Optionee or the disability of the
Optionee within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), each Option, to the extent (and only to the
extent) that it would have been exercisable by the Optionee on the Termination
Date, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee's legal representative)
within twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, but in no event later than
the Expiration Date.

     8.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

<PAGE>

          8.1  NOTICE.  Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company
of an exercise agreement in a form approved by the Board stating the number of
Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares and such
representations and agreements regarding the Optionee's investment intent and
access to information as may be required 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.

          8.2  PAYMENT.  Payment for the Shares may be made (a) in cash or by
check; (b) by surrender of shares of Common Stock of the Company that have been
owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months (and which 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 were obtained by the Optionee in the open public market,
having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Option; (c) by
waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (d)
provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists, through a "same
day sale" commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers (a "NASD Dealer") whereby the
Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the
Shares so purchased 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; (e) provided that a public market for the Company's
stock exists, through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and a NASD Dealer
whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option 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 (f) by any combination of the
foregoing.

          8.3  WITHHOLDING TAXES.  Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise
of an Option, the Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for any federal
or state withholding obligations of the Company, if applicable.

          8.4  LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE.  Notwithstanding the exercise periods
set forth in the Grant, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the
following limitations:

               (a)  An Option shall not be exercisable until such time as the
Plan or, in the case of Options granted pursuant to an amendment to the number
of shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan, the amendment has been
approved by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with Section 15
hereof.

               (b)  An Option shall not be exercisable unless such exercise is
in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and all applicable state securities laws, as they are in effect on the
date of exercise.

               (c)  The Board may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares
that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum
number will not prevent the Optionee from exercising the full number of Shares
as to which the Option is then exercisable.

     9.   NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.  During the lifetime of the Optionee,
an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative, unless otherwise permitted by the Board.  No
Option may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of
in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

     10.  PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.  No Optionee shall have any of the
rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option until
the Option has been validly exercised.  No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or distributions or other rights for which

<PAGE>
the record date is prior to the date of exercise, except as provided in this
Plan.  The Company shall provide to each Optionee a copy of the annual financial
statements of the Company, at such time after the close of each fiscal year of
the Company as they are released by the Company to its shareholders.

     11.  ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES.  In the event that the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is changed by a stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration,
the number of Shares available under this Plan and the number of Shares subject
to outstanding Options and the exercise price per share of such Options shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or
shareholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws;
provided, however, that no certificate or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon exercise of any Option and any resulting fractions of a
Share shall be rounded up to the nearest Share; and provided, further, that the
exercise price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the
Shares.

     12.  NO OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE AS DIRECTOR.  Nothing in this Plan or any
Option granted under this Plan shall confer on any Optionee any right to
continue as a director of the Company.

     13.  COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.  The grant of Options and the issuance of Shares
upon exercise of any Options shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance
with all applicable requirements of law, including without limitation compliance
with the Securities Act, compliance with all other applicable state securities
laws and compliance with the requirements of any stock exchange or national
market system on which the Shares may be listed.  The Company shall be under no
obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the
registration or qualification requirement of any state securities laws, stock
exchange or national market system.

     l4.  ACCELERATION OF OPTIONS.  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of
the Company), the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
other transaction which qualifies as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424
of the Code wherein the shareholders of the Company give up all of their equity
interest in the Company and do not control the surviving entity, the vesting of
all options granted pursuant to the Plan will accelerate and the options will
become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such times
and on such conditions as the Board determines.

     15.  AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.  The Board may at any time terminate
or amend this Plan but not the terms of any outstanding option; provided,
however, that the Board shall not, without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company, increase the total number of Shares available under this Plan
(except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4 and 11 above) or change the
class of persons eligible to receive Options.  Further, the provisions in
Sections 6 and 7 of this Plan shall not be amended more than once every six (6)
months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 or the rules thereunder.  In any case, no amendment
of this Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Options or any
unexercised portions thereof without the written consent of the Optionee.

     16.  TERM OF PLAN.  Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan from time
to time within a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date.

     17.  CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.  As used in this Plan, the following terms

Company set forth above (the "SHARES") at the exercise price per share set forth

percent (25%) of the Shares on the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, and
as to an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares on each subsequent
anniversary of the Date of Grant.

     3.   RESTRICTION ON EXERCISE.  This Option may not be exercised unless such
exercise is in compliance with the Act, and all applicable state securities
laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise, and the requirements of any
stock exchange or national market system on which the Company's common stock may
be listed at the time of exercise.

     4.   TERMINATION OF OPTION.  Except as provided below in this Section, this
Option shall terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee ceases to be a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company (a "BOARD MEMBER").  The Board shall have discretion to
determine whether Optionee has ceased to serve as a Board Member and the date on
which such service terminated (the "TERMINATION DATE").

          (a)  TERMINATION GENERALLY.  If Optionee ceases to be a Board Member
for any reason except death or disability, this Option, to the extent (and only
to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by Optionee on the
Termination Date, may be exercised by Optionee within three (3) months after the
Termination Date, but in no event later than the Expiration Date.

          (b)  DEATH OR DISABILITY.  If Optionee ceases to be a Board Member

          (b)  PAYMENT.  Such notice shall be accompanied by full payment of the
Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased (i) in cash (by check), (ii) by
surrender of shares of common stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price of the Option that have been owned by Optionee for
more than six (6) months (and which 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
were obtained by the Optionee in the open public market; (iii) by waiver of
compensation due or accrued to Optionee for services rendered; (iv) through a
"same day sale" commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD DEALER") whereby the
Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the
Shares so purchased 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; (v) through a "margin" commitment from Optionee and an
NASD Dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option 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 (vi) by any combination
of the foregoing where approved by the Board in its sole discretion.

          (c)  WITHHOLDING TAXES.  Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon
exercise of this Option, Optionee must pay or make adequate provision for any
federal or state withholding obligations of the Company, if applicable.

          (d)  ISSUANCE OF SHARES.  Provided that such notice and payment are in
form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall
issue the Shares registered in the name of Optionee or Optionee's legal
representative.

     6.   NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION.  Unless otherwise permitted by the
Board, this Option may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by
the law of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of
Optionee only by Optionee.  The terms of this Grant shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Optionee.

     7.   INTERPRETATION.  Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this
Grant shall be submitted by Optionee or the Company to the Board, which shall
review such dispute at its next regular meeting.  The resolutions of such a
dispute by the Board shall be final and binding on the Company and on Optionee.

     8.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  The Plan and the Directors' Stock Option Exercise
Notice are incorporated herein by this reference.  This Grant, the Plan and the
Stock Option Exercise Notice constitute the entire agreement of the parties
hereto and supersede all prior undertakings and agreements with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
