CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein
reflect all adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments) that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for
the periods presented.  The results for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

2.       ACQUISITION OF THIRD-PARTY INTERESTS IN REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIPS

In March 1994 the Company acquired all third-party interests in two real estate
partnerships in which it was a 46.5% and 80% limited partner, respectively, for
approximately $9 million in cash and the assumption of a secured construction
loan of approximately $23.5 million.  The Company leased buildings from one of
the limited partnerships and the second limited partnership owned unencumbered
land adjacent to the leased property.  The Company paid off the secured
construction loan with its cash reserves in May 1994.

3.       PURCHASE OF REDWOOD DESIGN AUTOMATION, INC.

In August 1994 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Redwood
Design Automation, Inc. ("Redwood") for approximately 419,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  The purchase price also includes $1.8 million of net
advances made to Redwood, prior to the acquisition, which were not repaid.
Redwood was a development stage company formed to design, develop and market
software for use in electronic system design. The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase, and the results of Redwood from the date of acquisition forward
have been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In
connection with the acquisition, net intangibles of $6.8 million were acquired,
of which $4.7 million is reflected as a one-time charge to operations in the
third quarter for the write-off of in-process research and development as it
had not reached technological feasibility.  The remaining intangibles of $2.1
million will be amortized over a useful life of two years.

The following pro forma information shows the results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 as if the Redwood acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of each period presented and at the purchase price
established in August 1994.  The results are not necessarily indicative of what
would have occurred had the acquisition actually been made at the beginning of
each of the respective periods presented or of future operations of the
combined companies.  The pro forma results for 1994 combine the Company's
results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1994 with the results of
Redwood for the period from January 1, 1994 through the date of acquisition.
The pro forma results for 1993 combine the Company's results for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1993 with Redwood's nine month fiscal period from
February 1, 1993 through October 31, 1993. The following unaudited pro forma
results include the straight-line amortization of intangibles over a period of
two years.

4.       DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In December 1993 the Company sold its Automated Systems ("ASI") division.  The
operating results of ASI have been reported as discontinued operations in the
consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.  Revenue of the
discontinued division was approximately $2.8 million and $8.9 million for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993, respectively.

5.       PURCHASE OF COMDISCO SYSTEMS, INC.

In June 1993 the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Comdisco
Systems, Inc. ("Comdisco"), a subsidiary of Comdisco, Inc., in exchange for
1,050,000 shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase
1,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase.  Accordingly, the results of Comdisco from the date of
acquisition forward have been recorded in the Company's consolidated financial
statements.  Comparative pro forma financial information has not been presented
as the results of operations for Comdisco are not material to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

7.       INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

Effective January 1, 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities".  There was no effect on the Company's operating results due to the
adoption of this statement.  The Company classifies its investments as
"held-to-maturity" for the purposes of this statement.  The investments mature
at various dates through August 1995.

8.       NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income per share for each period is calculated by  dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common stock and common  stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalents  consist of dilutive
shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding common  stock options and
warrants.  Net loss per share is calculated by dividing net  loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock.  Fully diluted  net income
(loss) per share is substantially the same as primary net income  (loss) per
share.
        
9.       INVENTORIES

Inventories, which consist primarily of testing equipment, are stated at the
lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.  Cost includes labor,
material and manufacturing overhead.  Inventories consisted of the following

10.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of
its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, San Jose Division, on April 8 and 9, 1991.  The
lawsuits, which were consolidated into a single action, allege violation of
certain federal securities laws by maintaining artificially high market prices
for the Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations and
nondisclosures regarding the Company's financial condition.  Court rulings in
response to the Company's motions to dismiss the lawsuit limited the class
period to include purchasers of the Company's common stock between January 29,
1991 and April 3, 1991.

On March 23, 1993 a separate class action lawsuit was filed against the Company
and certain of its directors and officers in the United States District Court,
Northern District of California, San Jose Division.  This lawsuit, which was
consolidated into a single action with two virtually identical lawsuits filed
later in March and in April 1993, alleges violation of certain federal
securities laws by maintaining artificially high market prices for the
Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations and nondisclosures
regarding the Company's financial condition.  On November 18, 1993, the
District Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the 1993 complaint.  The
effect of the ruling was to dismiss the complaint except as to a statement
allegedly made on January 28, 1993, but plaintiffs were granted leave to
further amend their complaint.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
In April 1994 the Company entered into tentative agreements to settle both of
the above class action lawsuits for a combined settlement of $16.5 million, of
which approximately $7.5 million was covered by the Company's insurance
carriers.  The agreements are subject to negotiation and execution of final
settlement agreements and final court approval.  In May 1994, after
negotiation, the Company's secondary insurance carrier agreed to provide
coverage on the second lawsuit.  Accordingly, net income for the second quarter
included a credit to operating expenses of approximately $2.1 million for
additional insurance proceeds and the reduction of accruals for legal expenses
relating to the provision taken in the first quarter for settlement of the two
shareholder class action suits.  At September 30, 1994, the total settlement
amount has been remitted into escrow.

11.      PUT WARRANTS

During the second and third quarters of 1994, the Company, through private
placement, sold four million put warrants.  Each warrant entitles the holder 
to sell one share of common stock to the Company on a specified date at a 
specified price ranging from $13.13 to $16.58 per share.  Additionally, during 
this same period, the Company  purchased three million call options that 
entitle the Company to buy on a specified date one share of common stock each, 
at prices ranging from $14.94 to $17.83 per share.  The Company has the right 
to settle the put warrants with stock, or a cash or stock settlement equal to 
the difference between the exercise price and market value at the date of 
exercise.  The put warrants and call options outstanding at September 30, 1994 
are exercisable on various dates between April 1995 and September 1995.  These 
securities had no significant dilutive effect on net income per share for the 
periods presented.

At June 30, 1994 the amount related to the Company's maximum potential
repurchase obligation under the put warrants had been classified as temporary
equity (put warrants) outside of stockholders' equity.  During the third
quarter ended September 30, 1994 the Company amended its settlement agreements
with respect to the put warrants to allow for a stock settlement equal to the
difference between the exercise price and market value at the date of exercise.
Accordingly, as the Company, at September 30, 1994, has both the unconditional
right and the intent to settle these put warrants with stock, no amount has
been classified out of stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet.
For information concerning the maximum potential repurchase obligation at
September 30, 1994, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 2., below.

12.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In October 1994 the Company acquired all third-party interests in a real estate
partnership in which it was a 49% limited partner, for approximately $6.1
million in cash. The partnership owns land and buildings which are leased to the
Company and are subject to a secured note in the amount of approximately $23.7
million.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 1994 was $109.6 million
compared with $97.6 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase
of 12%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994 revenue was $307.4
million, an increase of 17% from revenue of $262.5 million recorded for the
same period of 1993.

Product revenue increased $4.8 million from $63.2 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1993 to $68.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.
The increased product revenue is primarily the result of increased demand for
the Company's integrated circuit (IC) and automated test engineering (ATE)
products and increased Spectrum Services consulting revenue.  For the nine
month period ended September 30, 1994 product revenue was $191.8 million as
compared to $170.6 million for the same period in 1993.  The increase in
product revenue for the nine month period is partially due to improved economic
conditions, increased demand for the Company's products primarily in the IC and
ATE product areas, the addition of Comdisco operations and increased Spectrum
Services consulting revenue.  Maintenance revenue increased by $7.1 million and
$23.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994,
respectively, as 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
compared to the same periods in 1993, in part because of a larger customer
base,  continued focus on customer renewals and the addition of Comdisco
operations  in June 1993.
        
Cost of product was $20.1 million and $59.1 million for the three and nine
month  periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively,  as compared to $18.9
million  and $54.7 million for the same periods in 1993.  The increase in cost
of  product for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 related to the Company's 
consulting business, Spectrum Services, and purchased software amortization 
and was partially  offset by decreased royalty expense.  The increase in cost 
of product for the nine month period ended September 30, 1994 is partially the 
result of increased expenses related to the addition of Comdisco operations 
and increased Spectrum Services operations, increased amortization and 
write-off of purchased software and intangibles and increased costs associated 
with the higher ATE revenue which has lower gross margins.  Cost of maintenance 
decreased from $4.0 million and $11.8 million for the quarter and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1993, respectively, to $3.0 million and $10.2
million for the same periods in 1994.  These decreases resulted primarily from
utilizing a more cost-effective update program and lower cost media in 1994.
        
As a result of the factors discussed above, gross margin increased from 77% and
75% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1993,
respectively, to 79% and 77% for the same periods in 1994.

Marketing and sales expenses decreased to $40.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 1993.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, as compared to the same period in
the prior year, marketing and sales expenses increased from $117.7 million to
$119.0 million.  This increase in marketing and sales expense for the nine
month period was primarily due to increased facilities costs and the addition
of Comdisco operations.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 were
$18.9 million as compared to $17.9 million for the same period of the prior
year, an increase of 5%.  Capitalization of software development costs for the
quarters ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 was $2.1 million and $3.8 million,
which represented 10% and 18% of total research and development expenditures
made in each of those periods, respectively.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, research and development expenses were $54.1 million
compared with $51.0 million for the same period in 1993, after capitalization
of $8.2 million and $11.8 million, which represented 13% and 19% of total
research and development expenditures made in those periods, respectively.  The
amount of software development costs capitalized in any given period may vary
depending on the exact nature of the development performed.  Gross research and
development expenditures before capitalization decreased from $21.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1993 to $21.0 million for the same period
in the current year and decreased from $62.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1993 to $62.4 million for the same period in the current year.
The decrease for the nine month period was primarily due to cost savings
resulting from the Company's purchase, in the first quarter of 1994 of
previously leased facilities and decreased capital equipment costs which was
partially offset by increased costs related to the addition of Comdisco and
Redwood Operations.

General and administrative expenses increased to $9.9 million for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1994 from $9.6 million for the same period in 1993, an 
increase of 3%.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, general and 
administrative expenses were $30.3 million as compared to $28.5 million for 
the same period in 1993, an increase of 7%.  The year over year increase for 
the nine month period was primarily the result of increased costs related to 
professional services, provision for bad debts and Comdisco operations partly 
offset by cost savings resulting from the Company's purchase in the first 
quarter of 1994 of previously leased facilities.

In the third quarter of 1994 the Company recorded costs of $4.7 million related
to the write-off of in-process research and development associated with the
Redwood acquisition (see Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).

In March 1994 the Company recorded a provision of $12.1 million for settlement
of the stockholder class action lawsuits filed against the Company and certain
of its officers and directors in 1991 and 1993.  This provision was comprised
of $17.9 million for settlement payments and legal costs offset by $5.8 million
of receivables due from the Company's insurance carriers.  In May 1994, after
negotiation, the Company's secondary insurance carrier agreed to provide
coverage on the second lawsuit.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the
second quarter 



                                      10
<PAGE>   11
ended June 30, 1994 included a $2.1 million credit to operating expenses for 
the additional insurance proceeds received and the reduction of accruals for 
legal expenses relating to the provision taken in the first quarter.

In March 1993 the Company recorded restructuring costs of $13.5 million
associated with a planned restructure of certain areas of sales, operations and
administration due to business conditions.  The restructuring charge reflects
costs associated with employee terminations, excess facilities and the
write-off of purchased software and intangibles arising from required
adjustments to the Company's cost structure necessitated by lower revenue
levels.  Also included in the restructuring charge was an additional provision
for doubtful accounts and the write-off of certain software development costs
resulting from changes in the systems product strategy.

Net other income for the third quarter ended September 30, 1994 was $.2 million
compared with $.4 million for the same period in 1993.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, net other income was $1.0 million as compared to $1.5
million for the same period in 1993.  The decrease in other income for the nine
month period is primarily the result of increased minority interest expense
related to the Company's Japanese subsidiary.

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 1994 is 25% as
compared to 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.

The Company's operating expenses are partially based on its expectations of
future revenue.  The Company's results of operations may be adversely affected
if revenue does not materialize in a quarter as expected.  Since expense levels
are usually committed in advance of revenues and because only a small portion
of expenses vary with revenue, the Company's operating results may be impacted
significantly by lower revenue.  Based on the Company's operating history and
factors that may cause fluctuations in the quarterly results, quarter to
quarter comparisons should not be relied upon as indicators of future
performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the nine months ended September 30, 1994 the Company's cash and cash
investments and short-term investments decreased $16.5 million from $92.8
million to $76.3 million.  This decrease was primarily due to net cash used for
investing and financing activities exceeding net cash generated from operating
activities.  Cash provided by operating activities included a $35.6 million
decrease in accounts receivable due to improved collections and a $12.1 million
increase in deferred revenue. The increase in deferred revenue is comprised of
increased  deferred maintenance due to a larger customer base and continued
focus on customer renewals and an increase in  certain product revenue deferred
in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 91-1 entitled "Software Revenue Recognition".  Cash used
for financing activities included approximately $69.7 million of treasury stock
purchases and an approximate $23.5 million payment of a construction loan.

The Company has an authorized stock repurchase program.  Prior to 1993, the
Company authorized the repurchase of up to 2.8 million shares of common stock
in the open market to satisfy its estimated requirements for shares to be
issued under its employee stock option and stock purchase plans.  In April
1993, February 1994 and June 1994, the Company authorized the repurchase of an
additional 4.0 million shares, 2.9 million shares and 5.2 million shares,
respectively, of common stock from time to time.  Subsequent to September 30,
1994 the Company authorized the additional repurchase of 5.3 million shares.
Some purchases are necessary to satisfy estimated requirements for shares to be
issued under the Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans.  As
part of its authorized stock repurchase program, the Company had a maximum
potential obligation at September 30, 1994 to buy back four million shares of
its common stock at an aggregate price of approximately $60.7 million.  These
potential obligations related to the sale of put warrants are exercisable on
various dates between April 1995 and September 1995.  The election by the
Company to settle the put warrants with stock could cause the Company to issue
a substantial number of shares, depending on the amounts of the repurchase
obligations and the per share value of the Company's common stock at exercise.
In addition, settlement of put warrants in stock or cash could lead to the
disposition by holders of the put warrants of shares of the Company's common
stock that such holders may have accumulated in anticipation of their exercise
of the put warrants.

In addition to the $76.3 million in cash and cash investments and short-term
investments at September 30, 1994, the Company had available approximately
$15.0 million under equipment lease 



                                      11
<PAGE>   12
lines and $17.5 million under bank lines of credit.  The Company was not in 
compliance with certain financial covenants under its lines of credit as of 
September 30, 1994, primarily due to its stock repurchase activity.  The items 
of noncompliance related to net worth, stock repurchase and current ratio 
levels.  Subsequent to September 30, 1994, the Company obtained waivers of the 
noncompliance from the banks.  The Company is currently in the process of 
renegotiating the bank lines of credit and has obtained extensions of the 
current lines of credit through May and June 1995.

Anticipated cash requirements for the fourth quarter of 1994 and fiscal 1995
include the purchase of treasury stock, payment of $6.1 million for the
purchase of all third-party interests in a real estate partnership (see Note
12)  and contemplated additions of capital equipment and the potential payment
of the $23.7 million secured loan assumed as part of the October 1994 real
estate acquisition.

The Company anticipates that current cash and short-term investment balances,
cash flows from operations and unused balances on equipment lease lines and
lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Securities class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of
its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, San Jose Division, on April 8 and 9, 1991.  The
lawsuits, which were consolidated into a single action, allege violation of
certain federal securities laws by maintaining artificially high market prices
for the Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations and
nondisclosures regarding the Company's financial condition.  Court rulings in
response to the Company's motions to dismiss the lawsuit limited the class
period to include purchasers of the Company's common stock between January 29,
1991 and April 3, 1991.

On March 23, 1993 a separate class action lawsuit was filed against the Company
and certain of its directors and officers in the United States District Court,
Northern District of California, San Jose Division.  This lawsuit, which was
consolidated into a single action with two virtually identical lawsuits filed
later in March and in April 1993, alleges violation of certain federal
securities laws by maintaining artificially high market prices for the
Company's common stock through alleged misrepresentations and nondisclosures
regarding the Company's financial condition.  On November 18, 1993, the
District Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss the 1993 complaint.  The
effect of the ruling was to dismiss the complaint except as to a statement
allegedly made on January 28, 1993, but plaintiffs were granted leave to
further amend their complaint.

In April 1994 the Company entered into tentative agreements to settle both of
the above class action lawsuits for a combined settlement of $16.5 million, of
which approximately $7.5 million was covered by the Company's insurance
carriers.  The agreements are subject to negotiation and execution of final
settlement agreements and final court approval.  In May 1994 after negotiation,
the Company's secondary insurance carrier agreed to provide coverage on the
second lawsuit.  Accordingly, net income for the second quarter included a
credit to operating expenses of approximately $2.1 million for additional
insurance proceeds and the reduction of accruals for legal expenses relating to
the provision taken in the first quarter for settlement of the two shareholder
class action suits.  At September 30, 1994, the total settlement amount has
been remitted into escrow.

                          CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC.

                   NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

        CADENCE DESIGN SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
hereby  grants as of _______________ ("Date of Grant") to _____________ (the
"Optionee") a nonstatutory stock option to purchase a total of ____ shares of
Common Stock of the Company (the "Shares"), at an exercise price of $__________
per share ("Exercise Price") subject to the terms, definitions and provisions
of this Option and the Company's 1993 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") which is incorporated herein by reference.  The terms defined in the
Plan shall have the same defined meanings herein.  Vesting of this Option shall
commence on ___________ ("Vesting Commencement Date").

         1.      Nature of the Option.  This Option is a nonstatutory stock
option and is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option as defined
in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

         2.      Exercise of Option.  This Option shall be exercisable during
its term in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows:

                 (i)      Right to Exercise.

                          (a)     This option shall become exercisable as to
25% of the Shares one year after the Vesting Commencement Date and as to an
additional 1/48th of the Shares per month thereafter.

                          (b)     This Option may not be exercised for a
fraction of a share.

                          (c)     In the event of Optionee's death, disability
or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is
governed by Section 9 of the Plan and Section 5 and 6 below.

                 (ii)     Method of Exercise.  This Option shall be 
exercisable by delivery to the Company of an executed written notice in the
form attached hereto, or in such other form as may be approved by the Company,
which shall state the election to exercise the option, the number of Shares in
respect of which the Option is being exercised,





<PAGE>   2





and such other representations and agreements as to the holder's investment
intent with respect to such shares of Common Stock as may be required by the
Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  Such written notice shall be
signed by the Optionee and shall be delivered in person or by certified mail to
the Stock Administration Group of the Company and shall be accompanied by
payment of the Exercise Price.

         3.      Method of Payment.  Payment of the Exercise Price shall be
made as follows:  (i) by cash or check; or (ii) by delivery of an irrevocable
written commitment from a broker-dealer approved by the Company that is a
member in good standing of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE Dealer") to
deliver the exercise price directly to the Company upon receipt of the Shares
or, in the case of a margin loan, upon receipt of a copy of the notice of
exercise of this Option.

         4.      Restrictions on Exercise.  This Option may not be exercised
unless such exercise, the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise and the
method of payment of consideration for the Shares are in compliance with (i)
the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) all applicable state securities laws, (iii)
all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations and (iv) the rules
of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the Shares may then
be listed, as such laws, regulations and rules are in effect on the date of
exercise.  As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may
require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may
be required by any applicable law or regulation.

         5.      Termination of Status as an Employee.  If Optionee ceases to
serve as an Employee, Optionee may, but only within thirty (30) days after the
date Optionee ceases to be an Employee of the Company, exercise this Option to
the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it on the date of such
termination.  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise this
Option on the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise this
Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

         6.      Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of Optionee:

                 (i)   During the term of this Option and while an Employee of 
the Company and having been in Continuous Status as an Employee since the date 
of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any




                                     -2-
<PAGE>   3

time within three (3) months following the date of death, by Optionee's estate
or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that would have
accrued had Optionee continued living three (3) months after the date of death;
or

                 (ii)     Within one (1) month after the termination of
Optionee's Continuous Status as an Employee, the Option may be exercised, at
any time within three (3) months following the date of death, by Optionee's
estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent that the right to exercise had accrued
at the date of termination.

         7.      Non-Transferability of Option.  This Option may not be
transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws or descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee.  The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors,
administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee.

         8.      Term of Option.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Option, this Option may not be exercised more than ten years from the date of
Grant of this Option, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance
with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

         9.      Tax Consequences.  Set forth below is a brief summary as of
the date of this Option of some of the federal and California tax consequences
of exercise of this Option and disposition of the Shares.  Tax consequences of
other states are beyond the scope of this agreement.  Employees should consult
a tax adviser regarding the tax treatment for other states.  THIS SUMMARY IS
NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR
DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

                (i)      Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option.  If, on the 
date the Option is exercised, the fair market value of the Shares is greater 
than the Exercise Price, Optionee will then incur a regular federal income tax 
liability and a California income tax liability.  Optionee will be treated as 
having then received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) 
equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of 
exercise over the Exercise Price.  The Company will be required to withhold 
from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the 
applicable taxing authorities such amounts as are required by applicable 
federal and state tax laws.  The compensation income is added to the purchase 
price of the shares to form a new cost basis.

<PAGE>   4

                 (ii)     Disposition of Shares.  If the Shares are held for
more than one year, any gain or loss realized on Disposition of the Shares will
be treated as long term capital gain or loss for federal and California income
tax purposes.  As of the Date of Grant, capital gains are taxed at a maximum
28% tax rate for federal and taxed at the same rate as ordinary income for
California tax purposes.  Capital gains, however, may be offset by capital
losses.

                                        Its: Treasurer

                 Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, a copy of
which is annexed hereto, and represents that he is familiar with the terms and
provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms
and provisions thereof.  Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any
questions arising under the Plan.  Optionee acknowledges that there may be
adverse tax consequences upon exercise of this Option or disposition of the
Shares and that Optionee should consult a tax adviser prior to such exercise or
disposition.
