                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

 1.     Basis of Presentation:

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
        the Company without audit in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q
        and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The consolidated financial statements
        include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
        All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
        eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
        only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair
        presentation have been included. The accompanying financial statements
        should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
        contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 1996. The results of
        operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are not
        necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

        Historically, net revenue from subscription licenses for anti-virus
        software was generally recognized ratably over a two year period as the
        Company was not able to demonstrate the separate value of the product
        license and maintenance agreement. During 1995, the Company was able to
        demonstrate the separate value of the product license and maintenance
        agreement and, effective July 1, 1995, the Company began generally to
        recognize 80% of license fees for electronically distributed anti-virus
        software at the time of the licensing transaction and 20% evenly over
        the two year subscription period. Under the policy, revenue for
        electronically distributed anti-virus software is recognized on a basis
        consistent with the revenue recognition of electronically distributed
        network management software. As a result of the change in revenue
        recognition, period to period results are not directly comparable.

        The effect of this change, based on certain assumptions which management
        believes are reasonable, was to increase net income and earnings per
        share by approximately $1.5 million and $0.04, respectively. The Company
        does not believe these amounts accurately reflect what net income and
        earnings per share would have been without the change as the Company, in
        anticipation of such change, made investments in the quarter which would
        not have been made had the change in revenue recognition not occurred.

2.      Acquisition:

        On March 21, 1996, the Company acquired Vycor Corporation, a developer
        of help desk software for $9.0 million in cash. The acquisition was
        accounted for as a purchase. Of the total purchase price, $7.8 million
        of in-process technology was charged to operations and approximately
        $0.4 million of transaction and restructuring costs were expensed in the
        three month period ended March 31, 1996.

3.      Legal Proceedings:

        In April 1996, the Company and William Larson were sued by Cheyenne
        Software, Inc. ("Cheyenne") in the United States District Court for the
        District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges that various statements
        related to the Company's proposed acquisition of Cheyenne were false and
        misleading. The lawsuit as filed seeks only injunctive relief and no
        specified monetary damages. The Company believes the lawsuit is without
        merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

4.       Stock dividend:

        On April 2, 1996 the Company declared a stock dividend, payable to all
        holders of record of common stock on April 29, 1996, of one share of
        common stock for every two shares of common stock outstanding. The stock
        dividend is payable on or about May 16, 1996. All per share data
        contained herein has been restated to reflect the increased number of
        shares outstanding.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this
report. The results shown herein are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year or any future periods.

OVERVIEW

         The Company generates net revenue through the licensing of its network
security and management software products. Historically, net revenue from
subscription licenses for anti-virus software was generally recognized ratably
over a two year period, while net revenue from subscription licenses for network
management software was generally recognized 80% at the time of the licensing
transaction with the remaining 20% recognized ratably over a two year period.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company began to generally recognize 80% of license
fees for electronically distributed anti-virus software at the time of the
licensing transaction with the remaining 20% recognized over the remaining
license period. The deferred revenue from anti-virus subscription licenses
entered into prior to July 1, 1995 continues to be recognized over the original
24 month subscription period. This has resulted in incremental revenue being
recognized over the last three quarters. This incremental revenue will continue
to be recognized over the next five quarters with a corresponding decrease in
the amount of deferred revenue on the Company's balance sheet.

         As a result of the change in revenue recognition for anti-virus
subscription licenses, period-to-period results are not directly comparable and
should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance. In addition,
since a decreasing percentage of the Company's net revenue is attributable to
the recognition of previously deferred revenue, the Company's net revenue in
future periods may be subject to greater fluctuations on a quarter to quarter
basis.

         In addition to generating net revenue through subscription licenses,
the Company sells its network security and management products with shrink-wrap
licenses through traditional distribution channels. The Company recognizes
revenue from sales to distributors upon shipment, subject to a reserve for
returns.

        On March 21, 1996, the Company acquired Vycor Corporation ("Vycor"), a
developer of help desk software for $9.0 million in cash. The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase. Of the total purchase price, $7.8 million of
in-process technology was charged to operations and approximately $0.4 million
of transaction and restructuring costs were expensed in the three month period
ended March 31, 1996.

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

          The Company's results of operations can fluctuate significantly on a
quarterly basis. Causes of such fluctuations may include the volume and timing
of new orders and renewals, the introduction of new products, product upgrades
or updates released by the Company or its competitors, changes in product
prices, changes in product mix, seasonality, trends in the computer industry,
general economic conditions, extraordinary events such as acquisitions or
litigation and the occurrence of unexpected events. Historically, renewals have
accounted for a significant portion of the Company's net revenue; however, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain current renewal
rates in the future.

        The Company's future earnings and stock price may be subject to
volatility in any period. Any shortfall in various operating results, including
licensing activity, product sales, net revenue, operating income, net income or
net income per share from historical levels or expectations of securities
analysts may have significant adverse effects on the trading price of the
Company's stock. Furthermore, other factors such as acquisitions or unforeseen
events in the technology or software industry or in the Company's day to day
activities can have a material adverse effect on the Company's stock
performance.

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

                                      ---

         Net Revenue. Net revenue increased 105% to $33.8 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996 from $16.5 million in the three months ended March
31, 1995. This increase in net revenue was due primarily to the change in
revenue recognition from anti-virus licenses and increased revenue from
subscription licenses for anti-virus software. In the three months ended March
31, 1996, 80% of the revenue from subscription licenses for anti-virus software
was recognized at the time of the licensing transaction rather than being
recognized ratably over 24 months for licenses sold in the periods prior to July
1, 1995. Net revenue also increased as a result of increased sales of
shrink-wrapped products through traditional distribution channels. As is the
case in many segments of the software industry, the Company may encounter
increasing price competition in the future which could reduce average selling
prices.

         The deferred revenue from anti-virus subscription licenses entered into
prior to July 1, 1995 is being recognized over the balance of the 24 month
subscription period. This resulted in incremental license revenue being
recognized in the three months ended March 31, 1995 and will continue to result
in incremental revenue being recognized over the next five quarters with a
corresponding decrease in the amount of deferred revenue on the Company's
balance sheet.

            Net revenue from international sales accounted for approximately 18%
and 25% of net revenue for the three months ended March 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The decrease in net revenue from international sales as a
percentage of net revenue between these periods was due to the greater
percentage increase in domestic net revenue. The Company has recently expanded
its international operations, primarily in Europe resulting primarily from the
acquisitions of Saber Software Corporation and its former distributors in the
UK, France, and Germany. As a result of the expansion of its international
operations, the Company now denominates certain international license fees in
local currencies, primarily in Europe. As a result, the Company is subject to
the risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Company
does not currently engage in hedging transactions and there can be no assurance
that it will not incur significant losses related to currency fluctuations.
Risks inherent in the Company's international sales generally include the impact
of fluctuating exchange rates, longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in
accounts receivable collection, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements,
seasonality due to the slowdown in European business activity during the third
quarter, and tariffs and other trade barriers. There can be no assurance that
these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, in countries

rate of piracy of its products. In addition, a significant portion of the
Company's international sales are generated through independent agents. Since
these agents are not employees of the Company and are not required to offer the
Company's products exclusively, there can be no assurance that they will
continue to market the Company's products. Also, despite the Company's
substantial dependence in the international market upon the marketing, sales and
customer support of its agents, the Company currently has limited control over
its agents. For example, the Company is dependent upon its international agents
to provide it with information regarding licensees and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient information to contact such
licensees, if necessary, regarding renewal. In addition, the Company may be
unaware of the nature and scope of the representations made to customers by
these agents.

         Cost of Net Revenue. The Company has historically distributed the
majority of its products electronically, and as a result, its cost of net
revenue has been low relative to other software vendors. The Company's cost of
net revenue includes the cost of media, manuals and packaging for products
distributed through traditional distribution channels and the amortization of
acquired technology. The cost of net revenue does not vary significantly among
the Company's various products, or between international or domestic sales.

            For the three months ended March 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company's
cost of net revenue was $2.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As a
percentage of net revenue, cost of net revenue decreased to 6.1% in the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 from 7.5% in the same period in 1995. These
decreases were due to the higher percentage of net revenue generated from
products distributed electronically, certain customer support expenses included
in cost of net revenue in the earlier periods which were included in marketing
and sales expenses commencing in the third quarter of 1995, and the fixed amount
of amortization included in cost of net revenue. To the extent that the
percentage of the Company's net revenue which is generated through traditional
distribution channels increases, the Company's cost of net revenue would
increase and, accordingly, gross margins would decrease.

                                      ---

         Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist
primarily of salary and benefits for the Company's software development and
technical support staff. Research and development expenses increased 88.6% to
$3.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $2.0 million in same
period in 1994. This increases was primarily due to growth in the Company's
product development staff, third party contractors and increased development
activity. As a percentage of net revenue, research and development expenses
decreased to 11.3% from 12.2% in three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. This decrease primarily reflects the growth in the Company's net
revenue. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses will
continue to increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of
net revenue.

         The Company's future success depends in large part upon its ability to
continue to offer a broad range of network management and security products, to
continue to enhance its existing products, to develop and introduce in a timely
manner new products that take advantage of technological advances and to respond
to new customer requirements. The Company also believes that providing a high
level of technical support is key to success in the network management market.
Furthermore, while the Company updates its products on a regular basis,
competitors may announce new products with capabilities or technologies that
could have the potential to replace or shorten the life cycles of the Company's
existing products. As a result, the Company believes that significant
investments in product development and technical support are essential. The
timing and amount of research and development expenses may vary significantly
based upon the number of new products and significant upgrades under development
during a given period.

         Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses consist primarily of
salary, commissions and benefits for marketing, sales and customer support
personnel and costs associated with advertising and promotions. Marketing and
sales expenses increased 56.8% to $9.6 million in the three months ended March
31, 1996 from $6.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1995. This
increase primarily reflects growth in the Company's sales and marketing staff
including the expansion of the Company's international operations and increased
advertising and promotional expenses. In connection with the change in revenue
recognition, the Company made additional investments in marketing and sales
during the quarter.

         As a percentage of net revenue, marketing and sales expense decreased
to 28.3% from 37.0% in the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. This decrease primarily reflects the increase in the Company's net
revenue. The Company is seeking to expand its product line in the future, and
such expansion could contribute to a further increase in marketing and sales
expenses.

         General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist
principally of salary and benefit costs for administrative personnel and general
operating costs. General and administrative costs increased 76.5% to $2.7
million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.5 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1995. This increase reflects increased investment in the
Company's infrastructure including expansion of the Company's domestic and
international operations. General and administrative expenses decreased to 8.0%
in the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 9.3% in the same period in 1995.
This decrease reflects growth in the Company's net revenue. The Company intends
to continue to make investments in its general and administrative
infrastructure, and, as a result, expects general and administrative expenses to
increase in absolute dollars.

         Amortization of Intangibles. The Company expensed $0.5 million and $0.3
million of amortization related to intangibles in the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Intangibles consist of purchased goodwill and
certain technology acquired through acquisitions.

         Acquisition and Related Costs. The Company acquired Vycor in the first
quarter of 1996. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. In connection
with this acquisition, the Company expensed $7.8 million of in-process
technology and $0.4 million in transaction and restructuring costs.

         Other Income. Other income consists primarily of interest income earned
on the Company's cash and short term investments. Other income totaled $0.6
million and $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The increase in the Company's other income relates to higher
interest income as a result of higher average balances invested due to net cash
generated from operations.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is recorded
at the Company's effective tax rate which, for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, was 85.4% and 39.8%, respectively. The provision for
income taxes for each period presented include the effect of a net deferred tax
asset arising from the different treatment of revenue recognition for tax and
financial reporting purposes and differing treatment of purchased intangible
assets and in-process technology. In addition, the Company's effective tax rate
reflects the non-deductibility for tax purposes of acquisition costs expensed
during the period. The Company has not reduced the deferred tax asset by a
valuation allowance as it is likely that all of the deferred tax asset will be
realized due to sufficient taxable income available through carryback to prior
years and to carryforward to future years.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 1996, the Company had $43.5 million in cash and cash
equivalents and $24.7 in marketable securities.

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.4 million and $7.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net
cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 1996
consisted primarily of net income plus an increase in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities offset by decreases in prepaid income taxes and deferred
revenue. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 was comprised primarily of net income, the increases in deferred
revenue and income taxes payable offset by increases in accounts receivable and
deferred taxes.

         Net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million in the three
months ended March 31, 1996, primarily reflecting investments in fixed and
intangible assets. Net cash provided by investing activities in the three months
ended March 31, 1995 was $2.0 million, consisting primarily of purchases of
marketable securities which were offset by additions to fixed assets.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.4 million and $2.8
million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
consisting primarily of the proceeds and tax benefits associated with the
exercise of nonqualified stock options.

         The Company believes that its available cash and anticipated cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

                           PART II: OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings:

        In April 1996, the Company and William Larson were sued by Cheyenne
Software, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.
The lawsuit alleges that various statements related to the Company's proposed
acquisition of Cheyenne were false and misleading. The lawsuit as filed seeks
only injunctive relief and no specified monetary damages. The Company believes
the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

                  (e)      to determine whether a Performance Award shall be
settled in shares of Stock, in cash, or in any combination thereof;

                  (f)      to approve one or more forms of Option Agreement,
Performance Award Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement;

                  (g)      to amend, modify, extend, or renew, or grant a new
Option or Award in substitution for, any Option or Award or to waive any
restrictions or conditions applicable to any Option or Award or any shares
acquired upon the exercise thereof;

                  (h)      to accelerate, continue, extend or defer the
exercisability or vesting of any Option or Award or any shares acquired upon the
exercise or settlement thereof, including with respect to the period following
an Optionee's termination of employment or service with the Participating
Company Group;

                  (i)      to prescribe, amend or rescind rules, guidelines and
policies relating to the Plan, or to adopt supplements to, or alternative
versions of, the Plan, including, without limitation, as the Board deems
necessary or desirable to comply with the laws of, or to accommodate the tax
policy or custom of, foreign jurisdictions whose citizens may be granted
Options; and

                  (j)      to correct any defect, supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Option Agreement, Performance
Award Agreement, or Restricted Stock Agreement and to make all other
determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any
Option or Award as the Board may deem advisable to the extent consistent with
the Plan and applicable law.

         3.3      DISINTERESTED ADMINISTRATION.  With respect to participation
by Insiders in the Plan, at any time that any class of equity security of the
Company is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Plan shall
be administered by the


                                        5
<PAGE>   9
Board in compliance with the "disinterested administration" requirements of Rule
16b-3.

         3.4 COMMITTEE COMPLYING WITH SECTION 162(m). If a Participating Company
is a "publicly held corporation" within the meaning of Section 162(m), the Board
may establish a Committee of "outside directors" within the meaning of Section
162(m) to approve the grant of any Option or Award which might reasonably be
anticipated to result in the payment of employee remuneration that would
otherwise exceed the limit on employee remuneration deductible for income tax
purposes pursuant to Section 162(m).

         3.5 ELIGIBILITY. Options and Awards may be granted only to Employees
and Consultants. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "Employees" shall
include prospective Employees to whom Options or Awards are granted in
connection with written offers of employment with the Participating Company
Group, and "Consultants" shall include prospective Consultants to whom Options
or Awards are granted in connection with written offers of engagement with the
Participating Company Group. Eligible persons may be granted more than one (1)
Option or Award.

                        ARTICLE 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN

         4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that
may be issued under the Plan shall be Six Million Nine Hundred Thousand
(6,900,000) and shall consist of authorized but unissued shares or treasury
shares of Stock or a combination thereof. In the event that (a) any outstanding
Option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or shares of Stock
acquired, subject to repurchase, upon the exercise of an Option are repurchased
by the Company or (b) any Award granted under the Plan denominated in shares of
Stock for any reason expires or is canceled, terminated, or paid in cash, or
shares of Stock subject to forfeiture are forfeited to the Company, the shares
allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or to such Award, or such
repurchased or forfeited shares, as the case may be, shall again be available
for issuance under the Plan.

         4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject
to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and Awards (other than Performance
Units as defined in Section 6.1), in the Section 162(m) Grant Limit set forth in
Section 5.1(b), in the Maximum Share Award Limit set forth in Section 6.2(e),
and in the exercise price of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the
shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding
Options and Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become
(whether or not pursuant to a Transfer of Control (as defined in Section 8.1)
shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"),


                                        6
<PAGE>   10
the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options and Awards to provide
that such Options are exercisable for New Shares and that such Awards may be
settled in New Shares, as the case may be. In the event of any such amendment,
the number of shares subject to and the exercise price of the outstanding
Options and the number of shares subject to the outstanding Awards shall be
adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its sole
discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from
an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded up or down to the
nearest whole number, as determined by the Board, and in no event may the
exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value,
if any, of the stock subject to the Option.

                            ARTICLE 5. STOCK OPTIONS

         5.1      LIMITATIONS ON OPTIONS.

                  (a) OPTION GRANT RESTRICTIONS. Any person who is not an
Employee on the date an Option is granted to such person may be granted only a
Nonstatutory Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option granted to a prospective
Employee upon the condition that such person become an Employee shall be deemed
granted on the date such person commences service with a Participating Company,
with an exercise price determined as of such date in accordance with Section
5.2(a).

                  (b) SECTION 162(m) GRANT LIMIT. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, at any such time as a Participating Company is a
"publicly held corporation" within the meaning of Section 162(m), no Employee
shall be granted one or more Options within any fiscal year of the Company which
in the aggregate are for the purchase of more than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand
(750,000) shares (the "SECTION 162(m) GRANT LIMIT").

                  (c) FAIR MARKET VALUE LIMITATION. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of
stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable by an
Optionee for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option
plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) exceeds One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portions of such options which exceed
such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. This Section 5.1(c)
shall be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in
which they were granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a different
limitation from that set forth in this Section 5.1(c), such different limitation
shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to
such Options as required by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated
as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part
by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section 5.1(c), the Optionee may
designate which portion of such Option the Optionee is exercising and may
request that separate certificates representing each such portion be issued upon
the exercise of the Option. In the absence of such designation, the Optionee
shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the
Option first.

<PAGE>   11
         5.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Options shall be evidenced by
Option Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in
such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. Option Agreements may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price for each Option shall
be established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (i)
the exercise price per share for an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less
than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Option is
granted, (ii) the exercise price per share for a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall
be not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the date the Option is granted, and (iii) no Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall have an exercise price per share
less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of
Stock on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an
Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be
granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth
above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for
another option in a manner qualifying with the provisions of Section 424(a) of
the Code.

                  (b) EXERCISE PERIOD. Options shall be exercisable at such time
or times and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria, and
restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the Option
Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (i) no Incentive Stock
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the
date such Option is granted, (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5)
years after the date such Option is granted, and (iii) no Option granted to a
prospective Employee or prospective Consultant may become exercisable prior to
the date on which such person commences service with a Participating Company.

                  (c) PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE.

                           (i)      FORMS OF PAYMENT AUTHORIZED.  Except as
otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares
of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (1) in cash, by
check, or cash equivalent, (2) by tender to the Company of shares of Stock owned
by the Optionee having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Company without
regard to any restrictions on transferability applicable to such stock by reason
of federal or state securities laws or agreements with an underwriter for the
Company) not less than the exercise price, (3) by the assignment of the proceeds
of a sale of some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the
Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the
provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a "SAME-DAY SALE"), (4) by the
Optionee's promissory note in a form approved by the Company, (5) by such other
consideration as may be approved by the Board from


                                        8
<PAGE>   12
time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (6) by any
combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by adoption
of or by amendment to the standard forms of Option Agreement described in
Section 5.3, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the
foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or
which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

                           (ii)     TENDER OF STOCK.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of
Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the
provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the
Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be
exercised by tender to the Company of shares of Stock unless such shares either
have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months or were not
acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

                           (iii)    SAME-DAY SALE.  The Company reserves, at
any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to
establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the
exercise of Options by means of a Same-Day Sale.

                           (iv)     PAYMENT BY PROMISSORY NOTE.  No promissory
note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note
would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such
terms as the Board shall determine at the time the Option is granted. The Board
shall have the authority to permit or require the Optionee to secure any
promissory note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired
upon the exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the
Company. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in the event the Company at any
time is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension
of credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall
comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid
principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with
such applicable regulations.

                  (d) TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable upon the exercise of
an Option, or to accept from the Optionee the tender of, a number of shares of
Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or
any part of the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law
to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to such Option.
Alternatively, in its sole discretion, the Company shall have the right to
require the Optionee, through payroll withholding or otherwise, to make adequate
provision for any such tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company
Group arising in connection with the Option. The Company shall have no
obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an
escrow established pursuant to the Option Agreement until the Participating
Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied.

         5.3 STANDARD FORMS OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT.

                  (a) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided for by
the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as an
"Incentive Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the form of Incentive Stock Option Agreement adopted by
the Board, as amended from time to time, and designated as the standard form of
Incentive Stock Option Agreement for use under the Plan.

                  (b) NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS. Unless otherwise provided for
by the Board at the time an Option is granted, an Option designated as a
"Nonstatutory Stock Option" shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the form of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement adopted
by the Board, as amended from time to time, and designated as the standard form
of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement for use under the Plan.

                  (c) STANDARD TERM FOR OPTIONS.  Except as provided in 
Section 5.2(b) or by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted
hereunder shall be exercisable for a term of ten (10) years.

                  (d) AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the
authority from time to time to vary the terms of any of the standard forms of
Option Agreement described in this Section 5.3 either in connection with the
grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the
authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms
and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of
Option Agreement shall be in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Such
authority shall include, but not by way of limitation, the authority to grant
Options which are immediately exercisable subject to the Company's right to
repurchase any unvested shares of Stock acquired by an Optionee upon the
exercise of an Option in the event such Optionee's employment or service with
the Participating Company Group is terminated for any reason, with or without
cause.

         5.4 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee,
an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or the Optionee's guardian
or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the
Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

                          ARTICLE 6. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

         6.1 PERFORMANCE AWARDS AUTHORIZED.  The Board, in its sole discretion
may grant Performance Awards which are Performance-Based Restricted Stock,
Performance Shares or Performance Units, as defined below.

                  (a)      "PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK" shall mean 
shares of Stock awarded to a Participant which, in accordance with the terms of
a Performance

                                       10
<PAGE>   14
Award Agreement, are subject to forfeiture in full or in part or with respect to
which additional shares of Stock may be issued on the basis of the attainment of
one or more Performance Goals within a Performance Period. Shares of
Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the
Board may deem appropriate, including by book-entry registration or issuance of
one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of
Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the
Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award. The Board may require
that such certificates be held in the custody of the Company or other escrow
agent until the restrictions thereon lapse.

                  (b) "PERFORMANCE SHARES" shall mean bookkeeping units,
denominated in shares of Stock, awarded to a Participant which, in accordance
the terms of a Performance Award Agreement, are subject to forfeiture in full or
in part or with respect to which additional shares of Stock may be issued on the
basis of the attainment of one or more Performance Goals within a Performance
Period.

                  (c) "PERFORMANCE UNITS" shall mean bookkeeping units,
denominated in dollar amounts, awarded to a Participant which, in accordance
with the terms of a Performance Award Agreement, are subject to forfeiture in
full or in part or with respect to which the dollar value of additional such
units may be paid on the basis of the attainment of one or more Performance
Goals within a Performance Period.

         6.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Performance Awards
shall be evidenced by Performance Award Agreements, in such form as the Board
shall from time to time establish, specifying the number of shares of Stock or
units covered thereby, and the number of shares of Stock or dollar value, as the
case may be, represented by a unit, the Performance Goals and Performance Period
established by the Board, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of
the Performance Award, and which agreements may incorporate all or any of the
terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

                  (a) PERFORMANCE GOALS AND PERFORMANCE PERIOD. The Board, in
its sole discretion, shall establish the Performance Period applicable to each
Performance Award. Prior to the commencement of the applicable Performance
Period, or such later date as may be permitted with respect to
"performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m), the Board shall select
one or more of the Performance Measures, as set forth below, and establish with
respect to such Performance Measures one or more Performance Goals which, when
measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine the number of
shares of Stock, if any, which shall become nonforfeitable or issuable with
respect to such Performance Award or the dollar amount, if any, payable with
respect to such Performance Award.

                  (b) PERFORMANCE MEASURES.  A "PERFORMANCE MEASURE" shall mean
a measure of business performance, as set forth below. Such Performance Measures
shall have the same meaning as used in the Company's financial statements, or if


                                       11
<PAGE>   15
such terms are not used in the Company's financial statements, they shall have
the meaning applied pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, or as
used generally in the Company's industry. As used in connection with a
Performance Award, Performance Measures may be absolute or relative to a
standard selected by the Board. Performance Measures shall be calculated with
respect to the Company and each Parent Corporation and Subsidiary Corporation
consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes or such division or
other business unit thereof as may be selected by the Board. For purposes of the
Plan, the Performance Measures applicable to a Performance Award shall be
calculated before the effect of changes in accounting standards, restructuring
charges and similar extraordinary items, determined according to criteria
established by the Board, occurring after the establishment of the Performance
Goals applicable to a Performance Award. Performance Measures may be one or 
more of the following:

                           (i)      bookings,

                           (ii)     revenue,

                           (iii)    operating income,

                           (iv)     pre-tax profit,

                           (v)      net income,

                           (vi)     gross margin,

                           (vii)    operating margin,

                           (viii)   earnings per share,

                           (ix)     return on stockholder equity,

                           (x)      return on capital,

                           (xi)     return on assets, and

                           (xii)    cash flow.

                  (c)      NO MONETARY PAYMENT. The Board shall not require a
Participant to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding)
as a condition of receiving a Performance Award. Therefore, for purposes of Rule
16b-3(a)(1) with respect to any Performance Award, the "price at which
securities may be offered" shall be zero (0) dollars.

                  (d)      SETTLEMENT OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS.  As soon as
practicable following the completion of the Performance Period for each
Performance Award, the Board shall certify in writing the extent to which the
Performance Goals have been


                                       12
<PAGE>   16
attained and the number of shares of Stock, if any, which shall be
nonforfeitable or issued, or the dollar amount, if any, earned upon settlement
of the Performance Award in accordance with its terms. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may elect to pay the Performance Shares or Performance Units earned
in shares of Stock, cash or any combination thereof. Payment of Performance
Shares in cash or payment of Performance Units in shares of Stock shall be based
on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock. The Company shall promptly notify
the Participant of the determination of the Board and deliver to the Participant
the appropriate cash payment or shares of Stock, subject to satisfaction of the
Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations, if any, and subject
to any additional conditions or restrictions on such shares of Stock as set
forth in the Performance Award Agreement. The Board shall have no discretion to
increase the number of shares of Stock nonforfeitable or issuable or the dollar
amount payable upon settlement of a Performance Award in excess of the amount
called for by the terms of such Award with respect to the degree of attainment
of the Performance Goals as certified by the Board.

                  (e) MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 4.2, no Participant may be granted Performance-Based
Restricted Stock or Performance Shares which could result in such Participant
receiving more than One Hundred Fifty Thousand (150,000) shares of Stock for
each full fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period for
such Award (the "MAXIMUM SHARE AWARD LIMIT") or Performance Units which could
result in such Participant receiving more than One Million dollars ($1,000,000)
for each full fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period for
such Award. No Participant may be granted more than one Performance Award for
the same Performance Period.

                  (f) DISCRETION TO REDUCE PERFORMANCE AWARDS. Notwithstanding
the attainment of any Performance Goal, if provided in the Performance Award
Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, the Board shall have the discretion,
on the basis of such criteria as may be established by the Board, to reduce some
or all of a Performance Award that would otherwise be paid or become
nonforfeitable.

                  (g) TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to deduct from the payment of any Performance Award, including
by withholding shares of Stock which have become nonforfeitable or issuable
thereunder, the federal, state, local or foreign taxes, if any, required by law
to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to such payment.
Alternatively, in its sole discretion, the Company shall have the right to
require the Participant, through payroll withholding or otherwise, to make
adequate provision for any such tax withholding obligations of the Participating
Company Group arising in connection with such Performance Award. The Company
shall have no obligation to deliver cash or shares of Stock in payment of a
Performance Award or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established
pursuant to the Performance Award Agreement until the Participating Company
Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied.


                                       13
<PAGE>   17
                  (h) VOTING RIGHTS. A Participant issued shares of Stock
pursuant to an award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be entitled to
vote such shares. A Participant awarded Performance Shares shall not be entitled
to vote any shares of Stock represented by such Performance Shares until the
date of issuance of shares of Stock upon settlement of such Award.

         6.3 STANDARD FORM OF PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT; AUTHORITY TO VARY
TERMS. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to approve one or
more standard forms of Performance Award Agreement and to vary the terms of any
such standard forms of Performance Award Agreement either in connection with the
grant or amendment of an individual Performance Award or in connection with the
authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms
and conditions of such revised or amended Performance Award Agreements shall be
in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

         6.4 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS. During the lifetime of
the Participant, all rights with respect to a Performance Award shall be
exercisable only by the Participant. Prior to the settlement and termination of
all restrictions with respect to a Performance Award as provided in Section
6.2(d), neither the Performance Award nor any rights or interests therein may be
assigned or transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution.

                       ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

         7.1 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. The Board may from
time to time grant Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards shall be
evidenced by Restricted Stock Agreements, in such form as the Board shall from
time to time establish, specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby
and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Restricted Stock Award,
and which agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by
reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

                  (a) NO MONETARY PAYMENT. The Board shall not require a
Participant to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding)
as a condition of receiving a Restricted Stock Award. Therefore, for purposes of
Rule 16b-3(a)(1) the "price at which securities may be offered" shall be zero
(0) dollars.

                  (b) CERTIFICATES. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be
evidenced in such manner as the Board may deem appropriate, including by

                  (c) TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to apply any shares of Stock issued pursuant to a Restricted
Stock Award as to which all restrictions on transfer have lapsed to satisfy the
federal, state, local or foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld
with respect to such shares. Alternatively, in its sole discretion, the Company
shall have the right to require the Participant, through payroll withholding or
otherwise, to make adequate provision for any such tax withholding obligations
of the Participating Company Group arising in connection with a Restricted Stock
Award. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Restricted
Stock or to release such shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to
the Restricted Stock Agreement until the Participating Company Group's tax
withholding obligations have been satisfied.

                  (d) VOTING RIGHTS.  A Participant issued shares of Stock
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be entitled to vote such shares.

         7.2 STANDARD FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT; AUTHORITY TO VARY
TERMS. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to approve one or
more standard forms of Restricted Stock Agreement and to vary the terms of any
such standard forms of Restricted Stock Agreement either in connection with the
grant or amendment of an individual Restricted Stock Award or in connection with
the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the
terms and conditions of such revised or amended Restricted Stock Agreements
shall be in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

         7.3 NONTRANSFERABILITY OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. During the lifetime
of the Participant, all rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award shall be
exercisable only by the Participant. Prior to the lapse of all restrictions with
respect to a Restricted Stock Award, neither the Restricted Stock Award nor any
rights or interests therein may be assigned or transferred in any manner except
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

                          ARTICLE 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS

         8.1 TRANSFER OF CONTROL.

                  (a)      DEFINITION.  A "TRANSFER OF CONTROL" shall be deemed
to have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the
Company.

                           (i)      the direct or indirect sale or exchange by
the stockholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the voting stock
of the Company wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before such
sale or exchange do not retain in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock immediately before such event,
directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through their ownership
of shares of the voting stock of a corporation which, as a result of such sale
or exchange, owns the Company either directly or through one or more
subsidiaries), at least a majority of the


                                       15
<PAGE>   19
beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company immediately after such
sale or exchange;

                           (ii)     a merger or consolidation wherein the
stockholders of the Company immediately before such merger or consolidation do
not retain in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of
the Company's voting stock immediately before such event, directly or indirectly
(including, without limitation, through their ownership of shares of the voting
stock of a corporation which, as a result of such merger or consolidation, owns
the Company either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), at least a
majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company
immediately after such merger or consolidation;

                           (iii)    the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange, or
transfer to one or more corporations (the "TRANSFEREE CORPORATION(S)") wherein
the stockholders of the Company immediately before such sale, exchange, or
transfer retain in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of
shares of the Company's voting stock immediately before such event, directly or
indirectly (including, without limitation, through their ownership of shares of
the voting stock of a corporation which owns the Transferee Corporation(s)
either directly or through one or more subsidiaries), at least a majority of the
beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Transferee Corporation(s)
immediately after such event); or

                           (iv)     a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

                  (b) EFFECT ON OPTIONS. In the event of a Transfer of Control,
the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent
corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"), shall
either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Options or
substitute substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's
stock for outstanding Options. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not
to assume or substitute for outstanding Options in connection with a Transfer of
Control, any unexercisable or unvested portion of the outstanding Options shall
be immediately exercisable and vested in full as of the date ten (10) days prior
to the date of the Transfer of Control, and the Company shall provide each
Optionee holding an outstanding Option with at least ten (10) days advance
written notice of the pending Transfer of Control prior to the consummation
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion,
provide in Option Agreements evidencing one or more Options that such Options
shall be immediately exercisable and vested in full as of the date ten (10) days
prior to the date of the Transfer of Control notwithstanding that the Acquiring
Corporation has agreed to assume or substitute substantially equivalent options
for the Acquiring Corporation's stock for such outstanding Options. The exercise
or vesting of any Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section
8.1(b) shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control.
Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring
Corporation in connection with the Transfer of Control nor exercised as of the
date of the Transfer of Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding
effective as of the date of the


                                       16
<PAGE>   20
Transfer of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option prior to the Transfer of Control and any consideration
received pursuant to the Transfer of Control with respect to such shares shall
continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement
evidencing such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement. If
the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options
immediately prior to a Transfer of Control described in Section 8.1(a)(i) is the
surviving or continuing corporation, the outstanding Options shall be deemed to
have been assumed by the Acquiring Corporation for purposes of this Section
8.1(b).

                  (c) EFFECT ON PERFORMANCE AWARDS. In the event of a Transfer
of Control, each Participant granted a Performance Award for a Performance
Period that will not be completed as of the date of the Transfer of Control
shall be deemed to have earned and shall receive no later than the day prior to
the date of the Transfer of Control, free of any transfer restrictions thereon,
payment of the Performance Award in an amount equal to the product of (i) the
target amount that may be earned in accordance with the terms of the Performance
Award Agreement evidencing such Performance Award and (ii) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the beginning
of such Performance Period to the date of the Transfer of Control, and the
denominator of which is the total number of days in such Performance Period. Any
Performance Award payment that was permissible solely by reason of this Section
8.1(c) shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board determines that all or any portion
of the payment to be made to the Participant pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)
shall be made in cash, such cash payment shall be made no later than thirty (30)
days following the date of the Transfer of Control.

                  (d) EFFECT ON RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. In the event of a
Transfer of Control, any restrictions to which the outstanding Restricted Stock
Awards remain subject shall terminate and such Restricted Stock shall become
fully vested as of the day prior to the date of the Transfer of Control. The
termination of any restrictions with respect to a Restricted Stock Award that
was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.1(d) shall be conditioned
upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control.

         8.2 DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Except as provided in this
Section 8.2 and in Section 4.2, no Optionee or Participant shall be entitled to
dividends or other distributions (collectively, "DIVIDENDS") with respect to
shares of Stock for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are
issued.

                  (a) OPTIONS, PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK AND RESTRICTED
STOCK. With respect to shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of
Options or the award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock,
the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide either for the current payment of
Dividends or the accumulation and payment of Dividends to the extent that such
shares become nonforfeitable.


                                       17
<PAGE>   21
                  (b) PERFORMANCE SHARES. With respect to Performance Shares,
the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide that Dividend Equivalents shall
not be paid or provide either for the current payment of Dividend Equivalents or
the accumulation and payment of Dividend Equivalents to the extent that the
Performance shares become nonforfeitable.

                  (c) PERFORMANCE UNITS.  Dividend Equivalents shall not be 
paid with respect to Performance Units.

         8.3 PROVISION OF INFORMATION. Each Optionee and Participant shall be
given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that
information generally made available to the Company's common stockholders.

         8.4 INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of
indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or officers or
employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Board and any
officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to
act for the Board is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all
reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party
by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the
Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in
settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal
counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment
in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to
which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person
is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties;
provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such
action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing,
the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

         8.5 UNFUNDED OBLIGATION. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant
to the Plan are unfunded obligations. No Participating Company shall be required
to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or
establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company
shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including
trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations
hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any
Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary
relationship between the Board or any Participating Company and a Participant,
or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the
Participant's creditors in any assets of any Participating Company. The
Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any
changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the
Company with respect to the Plan.

         8.6 TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may terminate or amend
the Plan at any time. However, subject to changes in the law or other legal
requirements that would permit otherwise, without the approval of the Company's
stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the total number of shares of
Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions
of Section 4.2), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive
Incentive Stock Options and (c) no expansion in the class of persons eligible to
receive Nonstatutory Stock Options or Awards. In any event, no termination or
amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or Award,
or any unexercised portion thereof, without the consent of the Optionee or
Participant, as the case may be, unless such termination or amendment is
required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option or unless such termination or amendment otherwise
is necessary to comply with any applicable law or government regulation.

                           (b)      TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of shares of
Stock to the extent such tender of Stock would constitute a violation of the
provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the
Company's stock. The Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company of
shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Optionee for
more than six (6) months or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the
Company.

                           (c)      SAME-DAY SALE. A "SAME-DAY SALE" means the
assignment in a form acceptable to the Company of the proceeds of a sale of some
or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option pursuant
to a program or procedure approved by the Company (including, without
limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as
promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's
sole and absolute discretion, to decline to approve or terminate any such
program or procedure.

                           (d)      PAYMENT BY PROMISSORY NOTE. No promissory
note shall be permitted if an exercise of the Option using a promissory note
would be a violation of any law. Unless otherwise specified by the Board at the
time the Option is granted, the promissory note permitted in clause (iv) of
Section 4.3(a) shall be a full recourse note in a form satisfactory to the
Company, with principal payable in equal annual installments with the last
installment due five (5) years after the date the Option is exercised. Interest
on the principal balance of the promissory note shall be payable in annual
installments at the minimum interest rate necessary to avoid imputed interest
pursuant to all applicable sections of the Code. Such recourse promissory note
shall be secured by the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the then current
form of security agreement as approved by the Company. At any time the Company
is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension
of credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall
comply with such applicable regulations, and the Optionee shall pay the unpaid
principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with
such applicable regulations. Except as the Company in its sole discretion shall
determine, the Optionee shall pay the unpaid principal balance of the promissory
note and any accrued interest thereon upon termination of the Optionee's Service
with the Participating Company Group for any reason, with or without cause.

                  4.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time the Option is exercised, in
whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the
Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts
payable to the Optionee, 


                                       6
<PAGE>   30
and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to
satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the
Participating Company Group, if any, which arise in connection with the Option,
including, without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in
whole or in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any
shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, (iii) the operation of any law or
regulation providing for the imputation of interest, or (iv) the lapsing of any
restriction with respect to any shares acquired upon exercise of the Option. The
Optionee is cautioned that the Option is not exercisable unless the tax
withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group are satisfied.
Accordingly, the Optionee may not be able to exercise the Option when desired
even though the Option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to
issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow
provided for herein.

                  4.5      CERTIFICATE REGISTRATION. Except in the event the
Exercise Price is paid by means of a Same-Day Sale, the certificate for the
shares as to which the Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of
the Optionee, or, if applicable, the heirs of the Optionee.

                  4.6      RESTRICTIONS ON GRANT OF THE OPTION AND ISSUANCE OF
SHARES. The grant of the Option and the issuance of shares of Stock upon
exercise of the Option shall be subject to compliance with all applicable
requirements of federal, state or foreign law with respect to such securities.
The Option may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise
would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign
securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition,
the Option may not be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the
Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with
respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of
the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. THE OPTIONEE IS
CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS
ARE SATISFIED. ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE THE OPTION
WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED. The inability of the Company to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any,
deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and
sale of any shares subject to the Option shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the
exercise of the Option, the Company may require the Optionee to satisfy any
qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with
any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with
respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

                                       7
<PAGE>   31
                  4.7      FRACTIONAL SHARES. The Company shall not be required
to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of the Option.

         5.       NONTRANSFERABILITY OF THE OPTION. The Option may be exercised
during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative and may not be assigned or transferred in any
manner except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Following the
death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent provided in Section 7, may be
exercised by the Optionee's legal representative or by any person empowered to
do so under the deceased Optionee's will or under the then applicable laws of
descent and distribution.

         6.       TERMINATION OF THE OPTION. The Option shall terminate and may
no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (a) the Option Expiration Date,
(b) the last date for exercising the Option following termination of the
Optionee's Service as described in Section 7, or (c) a Transfer of Control to
the extent provided in Section 8.


                                       8

         7.       EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

                  7.1      OPTION EXERCISABILITY.

                           (a)      DISABILITY.  If the Optionee's Service with
the Participating Company Group is terminated because of the Disability of the
Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on
which the Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or
the Optionee's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the
expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

                           (b)      DEATH.  If the Optionee's Service with the
Participating Company Group is terminated because of the death of the Optionee,
the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the
Optionee's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee (or the
Optionee's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by reason of the Optionee's death) at any time prior to the
expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The
Optionee's Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the
Optionee dies within ninety (90) days after the Optionee's termination of
Service.

                           (c)      OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE.  If the 
Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any
reason, except Disability or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which the Optionee's Service
terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee within ninety (90) days (or such
other longer period of time as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion)
after the date on which the Optionee's Service terminated, but in any event no
later than the Option Expiration Date.

                  7.2 ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS ON OPTION EXERCISE. Except as the
Company and the Optionee otherwise agree, exercise of the Option pursuant to
Section 7.1 following termination of the Optionee's Service may not be made by
delivery of a promissory note as provided in Section 4.3(a).

                  7.3 EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the exercise of the Option within the applicable time periods
set forth in Section 7.1 is prevented by the provisions of Section 4.6, the
Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the
Optionee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any
event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

                                       9
<PAGE>   33
                  7.4 EXTENSION IF OPTIONEE SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(B).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale, within the applicable time periods set
forth in Section 7.1, of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would
subject the Optionee to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option
shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day
following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no
longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day
after the Optionee's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration
Date.

                  7.5 LEAVE OF ABSENCE. For purposes of Section 7.1, the
Optionee's Service with the Participating Company Group shall not be deemed to
terminate if the Optionee takes any military leave, sick leave, or other bona
fide leave of absence approved by the Company of ninety (90) days or less. In
the event of a leave of absence in excess of ninety (90) days, the Optionee's
Service shall be deemed to terminate on the ninety-first (91st) day of such
leave unless the Optionee's right to reemployment with the Participating Company
Group remains guaranteed by statute or contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
unless otherwise designated by the Company (or required by law), a leave of
absence shall not be treated as Service for purposes of determining the
Optionee's Vested Ratio.

         8.       OWNERSHIP CHANGE AND TRANSFER OF CONTROL.

                  8.1      DEFINITIONS.

                           (a)      An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE" shall be deemed to
have occurred in the event any of the following occurs with respect to the
Company:

                                    (i)     the direct or indirect sale or
exchange by the stockholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the
voting stock of the Company;

                                    (ii)    a merger or consolidation in which
the Company is a party;

                                    (iii)   the sale, exchange, or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale,
exchange, or transfer to one or more corporations (the "TRANSFEREE
CORPORATION(S)") wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before such
sale, exchange, or transfer retain in substantially the same proportions as
their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock immediately before such
event, directly or indirectly (including, without limitation, through their
ownership of shares of the voting stock of a corporation which owns the
Transferee Corporation(s) either directly or through one or more subsidiaries),
at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the
Transferee Corporation(s) immediately after such event); or

                                       10
<PAGE>   34
                                    (iv)    a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company.

                           (b)      A "TRANSFER OF CONTROL" shall mean

                                    (i)      an Ownership Change described in
Sections 8.1(a)(i) or 8.1(a)(ii) wherein the stockholders of the Company
immediately before such Ownership Change do not retain in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock
immediately before such Ownership Change, directly or indirectly (including,
without limitation, through their ownership of shares of the voting stock of a
corporation which, as a result of such Ownership Change, owns the Company either
directly or through one or more subsidiaries), at least a majority of the
beneficial interest in the voting stock of the Company immediately after such
Ownership Change; or

                                    (ii)     an Ownership Change described in
Sections 8.1(a)(iii) or 8.1(a)(iv).

                  8.2 EFFECT OF TRANSFER OF CONTROL ON OPTION. In the event of a
Transfer of Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing
corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING
CORPORATION"), shall either assume the Company's rights and obligations under
the Option or substitute a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiring
Corporation's stock for the Option. In the event the Acquiring Corporation
elects not to assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Option or
substitute for the Option in connection with the Transfer of Control, any
unexercised portion of the Option shall be immediately exercisable and vested in
full as of the date ten (10) days prior to the Transfer of Control, and the
Company shall provide the Optionee with at least ten (10) days advance written
notice of the pending Transfer of Control prior to the consummation thereof. Any
exercise of the Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2
shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control. The
Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of
the Transfer of Control to the extent that the Option is neither assumed or
substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Transfer of
Control nor exercised as of the date of the Transfer of Control. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of the Option prior to the Transfer
of Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Transfer of Control
with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable
provisions of this Option Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. If the
corporation the stock of which is subject to the Option immediately prior to the
Transfer of Control is the surviving or continuing corporation in an Ownership
Change described in Section 8.1(a)(i), the Option shall be deemed to have been
assumed by the Acquiring Corporation for purposes of this Option Agreement.

                                       11
<PAGE>   35
         9. ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination,
reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, Exercise Price and class of
shares of stock subject to the Option. If a majority of the shares which are of
the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option are exchanged for,
converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership
Change) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may
unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the Option is exercisable for New
Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the Number of Option Shares and the
Exercise Price shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner, as determined
by the Board, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall
be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, as determined by the Board,
and in no event may the Exercise Price be decreased to an amount less than the
par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option.

         10. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR CONSULTANT. The Optionee shall
have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Option
until the date of the issuance of a certificate for the shares for which the
Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of
the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 9. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon the
Optionee any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or
interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to
terminate the Optionee's Service as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may
be, at any time.

         11.      ESCROW.

                  11.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ESCROW. To ensure that shares securing
any promissory note will be available for repurchase, the Company may require
the Optionee to deposit the certificate evidencing the shares which the Optionee
purchases upon exercise of the Option with an agent designated by the Company
under the terms and conditions of a security agreement approved by the Company.
If the Company does not require such deposit as a condition of exercise of the
Option, the Company reserves the right at any time to require the Optionee to so
deposit the certificate in escrow. The Company shall bear the expenses of the
escrow.

                  11.2 DELIVERY OF SHARES TO OPTIONEE. As soon as practicable
after full repayment of any promissory note secured by the shares in escrow, the
agent shall deliver to the Optionee the shares no longer securing any promissory
note.

                                       12
<PAGE>   36
         12. STOCK DIVIDENDS SUBJECT TO OPTION AGREEMENT. If, from time to time,
there is any stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the character or
amount of any of the outstanding stock of the corporation the stock of which is
subject to the provisions of this Option Agreement, then in such event any and
all new, substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled
by reason of the Optionee's ownership of the shares acquired upon exercise of
the Option shall be immediately subject to any security interest held by the
Company with the same force and effect as the shares subject to such security
interest immediately before such event.

         13.      LEGENDS.  The Company may at any time place legends 
referencing any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law restrictions
on all certificates representing shares of stock subject to the provisions of
this Option Agreement. The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company,
promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares
acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to
carry out the provisions of this Section.

         14.      BINDING EFFECT.  Subject to the restrictions on transfer set
forth herein, this Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns.

         15. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan
or the Option at any time; provided, however, that no such termination or
amendment may adversely affect the Option or any unexercised portion hereof
without the consent of the Optionee unless such termination or amendment is
necessary to comply with any applicable law or government regulation. No
amendment or addition to this Option Agreement shall be effective unless in
writing.

         16. INTEGRATED AGREEMENT. This Option Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding and agreement of the Optionee and the Participating Company Group
with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and there are no
agreements, understandings, restrictions, representations, or warranties among
the Optionee and the Participating Company Group other than those as set forth
or provided for herein. To the extent contemplated herein, the provisions of
this Option Agreement shall survive any exercise of the Option and shall remain
in full force and effect.

         17.      APPLICABLE LAW.  This Option Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements
between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within
the State of California.
